I don't know if I've ever told you this, but my dad has been very into fishing these last couple of months. Not only does he go fishing every Saturday, but he also wakes up at 2 am because he wants to catch the best place and comes home at 10 pm. I guess that's called passion. Or obsession.
Anyhow, yesterday he wanted to show us ( and by us I mean my sister&me ) where he spends a lot of his time. We had been home all day,studying, so we thought a little break couldn't hurt.
We were pleasantly surprised by the natural beauty of the place. Everywhere you looked there were lands of wheat, the place was quiet, the sun was setting and the water was full of fish.
We promised my dad we'll go with him one day this summer and I can already imagine what it will be like to sit all day long on a blanket, surrounded by books and family.
Coming back to reality hasn't been easy at all, but I only have 5 weeks to go!
My days are so dull nowadays, I'm even ashamed to write here. I basically spend every day either learning home,in my PJs, or learning at school.
excuse the 'study' face
The strange thing is that I kind of enjoy this period in my life. I like learning for my Anatomy exam or working for my Math exam,but I hate studying for the Romanian one. We have to learn the essays by heart and I really, really loathe it. I'm pretty sure my worst grade will be at that exam.
To help me focus, I made an 'exam calendar'. You can't even imagine the satisfaction I have at the end of a day when I get to colour a square and know I'm done with it forever.
The good news is that I still get to spend a great deal of time with Radu (not as much as I would like, though). I appreciate all our little moments together: the lunch date we had when we broke our forks in the pizza ( the pizza was great, the forks were awful :)) ), the mornings we spent cuddling in bed, the random texts and photos, the way we motivate each other to study more.
My prom night has been amazing. If you told me a few months ago that I'll actually enjoy the frivolous act of going to the prom, I would have laughed in your face. But, as it turns out, it has been one of the most amazing nights of my life. I made memories I'll never forget with people I'll never forget.
I don't have the official photos yet,
these are the ones taken with Radu's iphone
Of course,the night started with me being late because, well, I'm a girl. And lazy. So almost everybody was there when I arrived. The place looked great. I had no idea Bucharest has such amazing buildings/restaurants.
I went to the prom decided to enjoy myself and make the most out of everything. I knew there will be people I didn't like but I just focused on the good instead of the bad. And it really worked. My friends and I had a blast. We danced our asses off, drank wine on the sidewalk ( like the classy people that we are ), cried, laughed and then danced some more.
There were great moments that we shared. But I think my favourite one was when Radu and I danced together towards the end of the whole thing. We were alone on the dance floor and we had a wonderful moment. Even though all the teachers and our classmates were watching, it felt as if we were the only ones in the room. I know for sure this will be one of the most cherished memories. I'll always hold it dear in my heart!
I'm so happy I had a great prom. After four years with lots of ups and downs, it was just perfect!
As you know, I'm done with school and I am now trying to prepare for my Baccalaureate. However, today I felt the need for a little break so I went to my grandparents for a family BBQ.
What a change of scenery! Their garden is full of flowers, the air is fresh and the first cherries have already appeared. It was nice to catch up with my grandparents and to spend 5 hours without worrying about Math or Anatomy.
I don't know why but lately I've taken an interest in flowers. I wasn't a nature enthusiast until now but I guess my feminine side is becoming more and more obvious.
I can't wait to be done with all these exams so I can relax, travel and read. Only 2 more months! 2 more months!
