active Sunday

     On Sunday,I went to a kangoo jumps event, 'Kangoo & Riders', held in a forest near Bucharest. It was my first time going to such an event and I loved it!

           

We jumped for almost an hour and for the rest of the day I was full of energy. I'll receive more photos and even videos soon and I can't wait to share them with you.

My new favourite workout song:

how can you swallow so much sleep?

   I'm finally done with some of my exams and I can breathe a little until next week. And sleep. Sleep a lot! Yesterday, after 3 big, ugly exams, I went to kangoo and I was spent. I didn't have an ounce of energy left and it felt as if my bones were made of Jell-O. So I'll probably spend this weekend in bed, listening to music ( does anyone else use this amazing site ? ) or reading 'Looking for Alaska' ( because I'm still a teenager and John Green's writing kind of breaks my heart ).

                                   

I love that amazing feeling of freedom you get when you write the last thing on your exam paper and you know you're done. At least for a small period of time. 

And when you have great classmates with whom you can celebrate that small step towards your future, you just can't complain about a single thing!

Spring Break

   

   I've been on my spring break for 2 weeks and they've gone by way too fast! It was my last spring break as a highschool student and I was a little bit nostalgic (but also happy because I've hated my time in highschool).

           

 

   I did a lot of things during these 2 weeks. Starting with finally getting my driver's license, driving for 300 km, going out and finishing with studying every day for my biology exam.

                             

On one of the first days of the holiday I went with Radu to a nice concert ( his uncle is in a band and we're not ashamed to admit we're groupies ). The pub was amazing and overall we had a great time!

On another night I went out with L. and we danced all night long. We also tried some strange and highly unhealthy shots. They looked like this: 

They were made of absinthe, vodka and fire :))

I think my dogs were the ones to benefit the most from my break. We played every day, went out a lot and took photos almost every day,because you can never have too many, right?!

I went to kangoo twice a week and it has done wonders for my body. Not only have I lost a few pounds, but I also feel great. I am full of energy, I have better balance and I'm always looking forward to that hour of blissful pain.   

On the last Sunday I went to the countryside to a family barbecue. Once again, the dogs were the happiest, but I had a good time too. The trees were in bloom and you could smell the spring in the air. I did my homework at a table near the garden and it was way better than being stuck in my apartment.

Dex and I bid you adieu now because it's almost midnight and we still have a lot of things to do. Have a nice week!

80's wave

  This last weekend was pretty amazing. I got to dress up for L's party. She decided to have an 80's party for her birthday and although my sister and I didn't really know what to wear ( because,well,we weren't alive during the 80's! ), we did a little research and managed to pull off an okay look.

                     

The night was crazy! I danced a lot and even did my kangoo routine with L. And although my muscles were sore on Sunday, it was worth it! 

I hope in the future I'll get to go to a lot of thematic parties because they are a lot of fun and I get to research a certain period or movie/book which is always a smart way of spending my time!

crappy weather and good music

   Stuck home,wearing fluffy leggings and studying for my exams. Doesn't sound so bad,does it?! That's how I spent my day,mainly because Bucharest is now under a cover of heavy snow. The schools are closed, the kids are happy and I go on,agonizing over the endocrine system.

                                     

drinking hot tea from my snowman cup just to celebrate

the winter-y weather   

The previous weekend was amazing. I finally bought the new Mumford&Sons album for my record player and also, I finally tried eating macarons. Loved it. Now, every time I listen to the album I feel like I'm part of a Haruki Murakami novel. I also found the book "Into the wild" and just started reading it. I sure hope it will be as good as the movie which is one of my favourites.

On Sunday I went out with Cris and two good friends to a nearby tea-house. The place was really nice and the company great.

we sat in the French Room of the tea-house

My favourite song from the album:  

  

the joy of having a dog

    I think I've said it many,many times before: I probably love my dogs more than most people I know. I honestly don't understand how a human being could be capable of hating or even worse, hurting a dog.

   
       My two dogs, Maya and Dexter, make my days a thousand times better. From the moment I wake up until I go to bed,they are so full of life,so loving that I sometimes feel like I don't deserve them.
       And Maya is such an amazing addition to our family! Even when she pees herself becase she's too happy, I find it cute and funny!

     
         There's nothing I love more than annoying them or loving them too much. Because,let's be honest: you just can't ignore a dog!

                                                                               

stuck in a rut

   I've been sitting at my desk for about 10 minutes wondering how I should start this post. I feel as if nothing exceptional has happened since I last wrote here. I'm stuck in a rut. And what's amazing is that I think right now is the greatest moment to be sticking to the same boring routine. Exams are just around the corner and the fact that when I come home after 7 hours of school,I study for another 3-4 hours couldn't hurt,right?

                                          spent a relaxing day in Predeal with my family

   However, I still try reading/watching tv series/spending some time on the internet/going to the gym every other day because I don't want to become a complete nut job.  

   Things that help me relax right now:

• reading 'The Great Gatsby'. I like it a lot.
• watching 'The Big C' : a sad story presented with a funny twist. 
• browsing this amazing blog :  http://fuckyouverymuch.dk/ 

    So that's about it.

    Ah, also, this is my favourite scene from 'The Big C':
