DAY 64*

Yesterday, I fell asleep aroud 8pm. I just felt really tired, I dint even know why ._.  ...and ended up waking up at 3:15 am with no intention of going back to sleep. I decided that I'm going to atempt catching the sunrise on top on Šmarna gora. The sunrise was scheduled for 5:15 in the morning, and I was out of the house by 3:55. I drove off to Tacen on  Soruru (my electric motorbike^^), because I wasn't sure about the condition my local path was in. I started walking at 4:10 and arrived at the top at 4:46. The view was just amazing. After 5 am other people were starting to show up. I ate my breakfast, took some pictures and waited.

The sunrise was accompanied by light drizzle and out of nowhere this amazing huge double rainbow appeared and stayed vivid and just breathtaking for about 30 min. The whole semi circle was visible (actually even more, probably about 200°), but it was all in all to big for my camera.

Anyway, when the sun hid behind the clouds and the rainbow disappeared, I decided to leave and get home before rain. I didn't make it. It started pouring while I was walking home but I wasn't quite drenched until I had to drive home on my motorbike.I couldn't have started my day any better^^

DAY 48

Morning run during the first 2 hours of PE on Wednesdays + music. I'm really glad there are still meadows with actual flowers on them. <3

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 34

Today started with a beautiful sunny morning and my sister discovering an enormous ice crystal on the cap of one of the frozen sauce containers. It was amazing, I couldn't really catch it on the camera but I had no idea sauce containers could be so beautiful.

The weather deity was really indecisive today. One minute it was raining, the next, there was blinding sun. I decided that I spend most of today inside and not studying. Since its Wednesday - middle of the week I figured I could afford a day off and get started on some of my art projects.

 I chose to rejuvenate one of my old, eaten by clothes moths, cardigan. I've wanted to try this technique for a long time, but never got a real chance, or an excuse. ^^ I started by  stretching the cardigan over  a disassembled shoe box, then drew a line in the middle and then 2 more lines to limit my cuts. At first I was going to use a knife but after some tries, scissors proved to be more practical. I then used the twining technique, that I learned here. I then started making more cuts, so I could fill up the whole back side. The hardest part for me was keeping things as symmetrical as possible. I ended up with 5 loose ends. In tutorial the girl just tied them together, but since I had 5 of them and I wanted to make sure they stay in place, I used a sewing machine to secure them in place.

 I also learned how to drive a Yikebike with my brother. It's powered by electricity and weighs only 14 kg. My dad brought it home from some conference and I haven't been able to try it till now. At first it was quite difficult, but its not that hard to stir once you reach higher speeds.

I will now go watch X-men with my brother (have to watch the first ...3,4,5? if I want to see the latest one in the cinema). ^^

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 13

 Today was quite a happy day in general. Our school ends early on Wednesdays, it was sunny and warm, and I got to go to an evening workout.... (lately I have been trying to be active more. I'm noticing that it really improves my mood, my studying and of course my health. Even though I sometimes feel like I don't have the time, 20 min outside vs. 20 min on the computer really makes a difference).
Well the first picture has been taken in Ljubljana (Celovška cesta). On the bus, I ran into an ex classmate from primary school. I got so caught up in the conversation that I actually got off the bus 2 stops too early (I was heading to my orthodontist). At fist, I was a bit annoyed, but the sun and some good music made everything just perfect.
On my way back home, I just couldn't resist taking some photos of my street, with the apple trees blooming and sun shining. This time of the year, for some reason, always reminds me of one of my favourite movies, Spirited Away, so its soundtrack was perfect for the short walk home.
perfect.

DAY 12

Today I spent 2 hours in the best place in - or should I say on -  my house. The roof. I find it to be the best place to study, provided that there is sun and not too much wind. No one is bothering you, you can not be distracted by any electronic devices and after you get bored of gazing into the distance, you just have nothing better to, do than to study and be productive. Basically utile dulci (hooray for actually using latin in real life^^).

DAY 3

The first day in Seville was amazing. The sun was shining, temperatures were over 20°C... Some of us got together (with our Spanish hosts) and visited Plaza de Espana. A huge beautiful building made out of red stone, decorated with hand painted tiles, relief ornaments..., around it artificial river, amazing park... It really felt like a vacation in the middle of summer even though it was only March.
<-- the best way to eat ice cream! :D

DAY 2

Woke up to a sunny Saturday morning. Everyone still sleeping and me eating breakfast before leaving for Spain.
