DAY 44

This year i was sick during one of schools 'sport days', so I had to participate in some sort of a sport event. I chose the same thing a s last year, Pot ob žici. It's a memorial path around Ljubljana, 35 km in length. During the WW2, there was a tall metal fence circling the city, making it hard for people to pass either was and It was a time of general hardship and fear. In tribute of tragic events, and annual march has been organised since 1957. This year I went it alone, because none of my friends had time. Well I did take Tyra with me. To get to where the patch began, I had to ride a bus, and for a dog to ride a bus, it has to have a proper muzzle. Since Tyra never needed one, I had to buy it. Since the shop didn't have many sizes available, I bough a size too big and sewed it together to fit Tyra. She was quite scared at first but got used to it after 10 min. Because of her I also got the chance to start a conversation with an old couple on the bus on my way back. It felt nice to bring a smile to their faces. I really appreciated a short course on how to converse with older people, because a lot of times they feel excluded and alone in this fast modern society. Being able to make their day better really put the cherry on top of an already amazing day.

DAY 33

Today's quote : "Life's more amusing than we thought." -Andrew Lang
Today I didn't do anything huge, just a bunch of small nice things. I finally took the postcards to the post office and sent them, took Tyra for a walk, crossing meadows filled with dandelions. I then improvised a hairdo, quite successfully I must say (used only a decorating comb). Then I set out to study in Ljubljana, at Boršnikov trg. Upon coming there I found out that it was closed. I changed my destination to NUK. I couldn't enter the grand reading room without a registration and my parents' signature, so I settled down in the basement public studying rooms. It was quite nice to actually achieve something studying-wise. Since I was closed in a room full of people studying, I couldn't allow myself to slack off. I finished, I believe, half of my chemistry book and then went home for a warm cup of cocoa and a good movie.

DAY 10

Today I went running for the first time after returning from Spain. My goal right now is to run at least 3 times a week. Two times during school PE (if possible) and once each weekend. It was really nice to take a break from studying and tiring my eyes with the computer.
Having Tyra (my dog) with me and new music on the phone just made things even better. :)
The colours were actually really pretty with the spring grass and corn (I think) growing on the fields, but my poor excuse for a phone couldn't really capture that.

DAY 1

Today, I spent most of the time sitting in my bed with my dog and reading reading an amazing book by James Dashner, The maze runner. I haven't read a book that would really pull me in in a long time. I'm slowly realizing how much I miss reading, imagining, creating new worlds in my mind ... This book is currently the main focus of my free time and I can't wait to read the other 4 books from the series....and watch the movie that is coming out late this summer. Actually the movie trailer is how I first got introduced to the book. The main actor Dylan O'Brien happens to be a part of the Teen Wolf crew, playing one of my favourite characters from that show. Anyhow, now when I'm reading the book, I have kept myself from watching the trailer again (even though it is really tempting) , since it would ruin the image of the fictional world and characters in my head (like it happened with HP). I would prefer to read the whole series without having the movie adaptation constantly in my mind...that would just ruin it in my experience. Well goodnight, see you in a week with more happy moments from Spain.
