The calm before the storm

So I didn't have internet for like a week. Don't know how I survived. Here's what I wrote:

8.07

I've never seen the sea so calm before. There wasn't a single wave. The water was so transparent you'd have the impression that you were flying. I finally found my diving mask and decided to dive. Under water it really felt like flying. I observed little fish and underwater cliffs and rocks. 

I watched the BrasilxGermany football match this afternoon. Even though I almost never watch football, I decided to cheer for Germany since I supported them in the 2010 World Cup. During the break I searched up all the German team players. I was also Facebook messaging Steffi about how hot some of them are. Zoum.

9.07

No one woke me up this morning since there was a storm at sea and no one was going swimming. I got up at quarter to two. I found it strange how there were literally no waves yesterday, but, today they were so big. My grandma sent Mitja and I to buy bread from a store in the village. To get there you have to walk by the beach and along the shore for quite a while. The powerful waves were hitting the shore's rocks violently. At some point of our small journey we had to cross over a bridge above the raging sea. The bridge looked shaky and as if it was about to collapse and give in to the waves. I imagined that I was with the Straw Hat Pirates as I always do. 

The internet was working weirdly today. It says I have wifi, but I actually don't. Due to that I spent the rest of my day reading "Cursed Days" (and playing solitaire). I love the style it's written in because it's very direct, but descriptive at the same time. I hope the people who I've recommended this book to will read it with great care. 

10.07

Just realised that I'm leaving in 10 days. So much has happened!

The sea is still quite stormy today so we didn't go swimming. And the internet is still not working.

My cousin and I went for a walk and I guess you could say that it was somewhat enjoyable. I had the impression that I was "cool" just because I was wearing converse and had chewing gum in my mouth. We found a turtle under the gate of Abramovich's house. We tried getting it out of there with sticks, but it was too fat to squeeze under the gate. I suddenly imagined that it was 2011 and I was twelve years old. All of that just because I was wearing a pair of converse. I wish it was 2011... On out way back we found a huge green lizard that escaped under a rock the second it saw us. Mitja started poking sticks at it and it jumped out, nearly bit him and ran away into the bushes. He was so surprised, he spit his gum out in astonishment. 

I'm probably going to spend this evening reading and playing solitaire again. 

I'm so sorry! I haven't posted in ages!

The last time I posted was such a long time ago. I'm so so so sorry!

It's just that there's nothing interesting going on around me and I no longer feel the need to write about myself and my feelings. I just finished watching this one anime so I'm going to write a review as soon as possible. Thanks to those of you who check my blog regularly. I'll try to post more often! ^_^

Please take a moment to check this out! I made it just for fun! 

I don't know what to write about so.... I'm just going to write about my day...?

Today was kinda boring since it was Wednesday aka Double Day. We have double Maths in the morning, double German, double English (ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!) and French and Music at the end of the day.
Nothing happened in Maths... Our teacher was explaining something to us and it didn't make sense to me... Yasmin printed out this really useful thing she found on the Internet about circle theorems. It helped me more than the teacher's explanation...
German was... I wouldn't say it was fun, but we were watching a movie so... yeah.... (my writing skills are awesome, right!)
Lunch was cool. We sat with Dilbar (this dude from choir), but he thought we were bullying him and ran away...

Ok whatever.... This post sucks.....................

In English class Ms Manchala made us stand for like the whole period... Everyone finished reading the book except for a few people (that includes me). I CAN NOT concentrate on it. I sit (well, stand) there, read and then all of a sudden I realise that I'm not paying any attention to what I'm reading. Especially today when we had to stand! My bag was at my feet, I wanted to kick it away, but it was way too heavy to move. I tried to lean against the wall, but leaning against shelves is not very comfortable. I ended up standing straight and probably looking like a retard because I was constantly going turning the pages in my book trying to figure out what was going on... I could not read because our teacher was taking to us... How can you read and listen at the same time? Sometimes, I put my book down and listened to the unnecessary remarks she was making. I would forget where I was in the story... Yasmin was depressed because our daught..... that's personal. She was whispering stuff to me and I was very sad. Since we had to be silent, our teacher would tell us to shut up and we had to stand for an even longer period of time......

Well, I guess English was inspirational. I can't believe I wrote that much... I just love describing the things I hate.......

After, we had French (grumblegrumble) and Music (themostboringsubjectintheworldafterenglish)....
That post was amazing, wasn't it? I know.... I'm so "proud" of it.... Yeah..... Bye...... Meh.....

Back to English class

Today I want to tell you, guys, about this funny incident that happened in English class.
I don't remember whether I mentioned it earlier, but our class is now reading this stupid book called "To kill a Mockingbird".
Today Yaz and I somehow managed to sit together again. Although our teacher wasn't really happy about that, she didn't tell me to go to my normal seat. We didn't talk and if we did it was only about the book and the activities we had to do after reading it. Surprisingly, we didn't misbehave....
After reading until chapter 16, I answered the questions we had to do. (What a good student I am!!!) As I carried on reading, I realised that I was no longer following the story. I thought that it's pointless to read, not paying attention to what you were reading so I closed the book and put it down. I opened my "diary" (a notebook where I write about my boring school days, draw random stuff and complain about my teachers) and began to write. I wrote that I didn't like the book I was reading and decided to write about it on a piece of paper.
I did not notice Ms Manchala looking at me.
She told me to stop and asked me what it was about..... So I told her, but I don't think she believed me....
As she went back to her desk, I ripped out a page of my notebook and wrote the title "My thoughts on 'To kill a Mockingbird'". This is what I wrote (I still have the paper, but that's just a little summery):
I'm a reader and I enjoy improving my reading skills. 'To kill a mockingbird' has the opposite effect. It's too simple.
I opened the book to a random page to discover a dialogue.
The only word that the author uses in dialogue is the word 'said'. It makes it very boring to read.
I'm on part 2 of the book, but nothing is really happening. The first part was about Jem and Scout (and Dill) playing in the yard and going to school. It was meant to describe the setting of the book, but I still can't imagine where the story is set. The action sta
I could not continue because my teacher appeared next to my desk.
"You're writing again!" she told me. "You know, I want to send you to the discipline office with this paper!
I looked up at her, as she continued, "I told you to stop writing! But when I went to my desk, you continued! What are you writing about?"
"The book," I replied quietly.
"Do not defy me!!!"
"I'm not trying to!"
She took the paper and studied it.
"What language is this?"
What language did she think it was? She knows I'm Russian, so why would I write in some other language? I know my hand writing is messy, but it's not that hard to tell that it was in Russian, not Hindi or anything.
"It's in Russian."
Ms Manchala folded my paper and went away. I didn't know that things were to turn out that way.
I didn't loose hope and started writing again. This time it was in my Reading notebook, in English. The teacher didn't say anything about it this time.
After class, I went up to Ms Manchala and asked her if I could have my paper back.
"What were you writing about?" she asked me again.
"It's just what I think about the book we're reading."
"I can not know for sure."
"Ask anyone if you don't believe me," I said steadily.
She examined my paper as if she was reading it.
To my surprise, she gave it back to me and said that I shouldn't do it again.....

I found that quite funny.... I don't know why, but looking back at what happened I just want to laugh....
I still have that stupid paper....
XD

Meh.....

School started sooner than I expected it to. It was the first time I didn't go to Moscow for New Year. New Year, itself, was probably the most boring one for me. None of my relatives were there and I was in my room, writing in my "diary" about how sad I am to be without them. The day after the catholic christmas I went to Yasmin's house. We stayed up for more than 24 hours and felt very bad afterwards.
That sums up my vacation.......

The first week of school was the best week of school I ever had. I didn't have any homework and Yaz and I had the best time ever.
Yesterday we went to the cinema and watched "Life of Pi", but that deserves a separate blog post.

More snow

The snow melted by the end of the day and the next morning was completely dry.
Friday. The long bus ride. Listening to music. There's no snow left. It seems like it's fall again.
It starts snowing by the time I get to school. The snow isn't wet. It doesn't melt by the time it gets to the ground. It just lies there. It doesn't stop snowing. Slowly, everything around us turns white. I get out of my art class. wishing it never snowed. Wishing for it to be summer again.
They call this "extreme weather". The after school buses are cancelled. So is Simply Theatre. I go to Yasmin's house. We watch Silent Hill till midnight and go to sleep late.
We have to go back to school at 10 to practise for Ammy. Tired, we get up. Our voices are tired too. We can't control them and sound horrible. Being good singers we're embarrassed and loose all our confidence.
I go home on Saturday at 4 o'clock and fall asleep immediately. Having 18 hours of sleep (like a cat! nyan! ^_^) I get up and do my homework...
PS We got our class photos.... Our class is full of ugly people... Zoum! XD Aaaand I'm on honours! When Mr Gilbert  gave the certificates out to us, he said "And the troublesome twins..." (meaning me and Yaz). And we said "We're not troublesome! We're evil!" ZOUM!

It snowed..... =(

The title of this post says it all. It snowed... Unfortunately... Now summer is even further away than it already was.
I wake up, excited to go to school. Yasmin, my dear Yasmin, is coming back today. The closer my bus gets to the school, the faster my heart is beating.
I look out of the window. Everything is gray. I think if I've gone colourblind, but no. It's all gray. The grass that used to be bright green is gray and even the sky that was bright blue before is also gray. I listen to Yiruma, but I no longer pay attention to the music. The only thing that I want to hear is the rushing wind. The grayness around me makes me think colourless thoughts. I no longer want to think about happiness, nor the beauty beyond this world. I feel like I'm in the parallel reality of Silent Hill since everything is covered is fog.
The door of the bus opens and as I come out I see Yasmin running towards me. How much have I missed her. We hug, not realising that we're finally together after such a long time. We scream. People look at us. We scream more.
Not remembering to put my jacket on I run outside. A few days ago it was still warm and during the whole day my jacket would hang on the hook and I would even forget to bring it home. Today everything has changed. We have gone from fall to winter. Real winter. There's snow. Wet snowy sleet. It's slippery and wet. It snows, turns everything white and rains after. The dry dirt turns into mud. The white snowflakes turn into wet pieces of mud. I get to my bus. Tired of it all. Wanting summer to always be with me.

Shopping and Twilight

Yesterday, Franny, Carolina, Emma, Paulina, Ximena and me went to the cinema to watch Twilight.
I ran out of my house to get to the tram, but as soon as I got to the tram stop it left. The next tram was only coming in 6 minutes. At first I decided to wait, but I ended up running to the train station. Franny and Carolina said that they were at Starbucks. Since they weren't there I went inside the train station. Franny called me and we, finally, met up.
The rest of our friends were already at Balexert, buying tickets. I was all excited about it. (Whenever I go to the cinema at Balexert I just can't stop thinking about that time I went there with Peter, even though it was such a long time ago...) I got nachos and a slushy. Yum yum!!!
The movie was.... I don't know how to describe it properly... I was waiting for something to happen, but nothing really did... At some moments I just didn't understand what was going on because some of it was all so fast and unexpected and not at all linked to the story. The fights weren't at all realistic. The characters didn't act at all. You just couldn't tell if the main character Bella was sad or happy or depressed because she had the same face on all the time. The story was complicated. Sometimes there was too much action that you just couldn't keep track of it. And sometimes there was no action at all and it was boring.
The movie messed up my good mood and by the time we went shopping I just wanted to go home. While Carolina and Franny were at the makeup store, I was on my own outside. I didn't feel like looking at all the lotions and masks and perfume bottles. I started getting bored so I decided to get to the book store. On my way there I stopped and thought carefully about what I was doing. I thought about them looking for me and getting worried because they wouldn't find me. I thought that it wouldn't be at all nice to leave them there. I thought that they actually cared about me and I only cared about myself. I ended up thinking that I was selfish so I went back, finding Franny looking for me.
 After that, all of us went to Clair's. I wondered there for a while and came up with a conclusion that none of it was interesting  to me. So I went outside again. Before I knew what I was doing I found myself walking to the book store. I stopped myself once again. And thought about it all. I decided not to go there.
After about 30 mins Franny walked out of Clair's and started calling me. I could see her, but she couldn't see me. Slowly, I made my way towards her.
Franny and all the rest of us went to Lush. Less than a minute after I sneaked away with Carolina. We ended up at the stationary shop looking at post cards and pens. There was a very cute purple post card with two owls on it. It said "Special friend" on it. I wanted to buy it, but then I thought, who I should give it to, and not finding such person, put it back on the shelf.
Franny found us quickly. After going to the CASA store (where they sell things you can decorate your house with) I, finally had a chance to go to the book shop.
I spent a lot of time looking for Enligh books. When I found them I realised that almost all of them were fiction books. Since I don't really like fiction I decided to go and look at the manga books near by. At least a quarter of them were Hentai (pornography) and the rest were the ones with strange characters (like Naruto). I didn't find anything I knew. I gave up my hope on finding a good book so I went to look at the DVDs. I ended up going outside, stalking Franny and Carolina who were looking for me, thinking why I'm treating them that way.
I went home, very tired. I didn't buy anything while the others bought loads. Weird...

I miss Yasmin...

It's Yasmin's third week off school... I miss her a lot. She's not a popular person, but a lot people miss her. I dream about her coming back to school and text her 24/7.
Her absence made me closer to Carolina. I never talked to her before. She turned out to be very nice and not at all childish as I thought she would be. She acts and does things that any teenage girl would do. I think it's just her appearance that made me think of her character the wrong way.

It was my French teacher's last day yesterday. I think I'm actually gona miss her. She was my first and only NORMAL french teacher so far. Usually the frenchies have a very weird behaviour and way of teaching. They're always too obsessed with their job that it seems like they have no other interest in life. I wonder how our new teacher's going to be.

And Yasmin's still not there... I don't know where she is! Help me!!!

I had Simply Theatre today. It wasn't fun without Yasmin... I need her!!! I don't know why, but when I'm at Simply I just start to act like a misanthrope thinking about how dumb and annoying people are. And I end up in a very very bad mood so I look like I'm just shy or something. But in reality I just have this "oh, screw that!" mood and so I just stand there in the corner because I can't be bothered to listen to anyone (not because I'm shy). We were also singing there. I couldn't do any of the songs because they were all too high for my voice. So when I started singing I sounded like a bumble bee...

I miss Yasmin..... ((((((( Saaad faaace!!!! (((((

October!!!

It's October!!! OMG!!! Are you kidding me? October????????
School is fun and boring at the same time.

First days of school

School started on the 28th of August. It seems like a lot time ago. Now all my summer experience seems like a dream or something I have imagined myself.
I don't really want to talk about the very beginning of school (how I met my friends, the bbq, etc.). I'll just tell you that my homeroom teacher is called Mr. Woodbridge. I'm in the same class as Franny, Yasmin, Emma and many other of my friends. There are a lot of Russian-speaking people in my class. There's Feodor who looks like a gangster or a bully, Anastassia, Artem and the others. Our classrooms are located at the Montblanc building just like in 6th grade. We have small lockers while the frenchies have the big ones in the Eiger. Everything feels like 6th grade. I have Miss Stierly for Maths, Frau Weinz for German just like in 6th grade. The only new teacher I have this year is M. Hartmann for Science. He's super attractive and is very nice. The rest of my teachers are like in 6th or 7th grade.
For English I still have Missis Manchala. I somehow managed to get in trouble with her our first English lesson. She told us to write an essay (she calls everything an essay) either about our holiday or our room. I had no inspiration, what so ever, so I sat there staring at a blank sheet of paper in front of me. She also read us this story called "The heart of another." It was hard not to laugh because of the way she talked. I had a feeling that she was trying to imitate an English accent. The funniest thing was that she said "wOs" not "was".
I think that's everything about my first days of school.
C YA!!!

Live Love Laugh

Sometimes I catch myself laughing for no reason. I mean I know the reason why I'm laughing, but it's so stupid I can't believe such stupid jokes make me laugh.
Yesterday was probably one of the best days of my school life because I didn't go to school. I didn't feel well in the morning, but my mum still forced me to get up. We waited at the bus stop for 20mins, but the bus wasn't there so we went home (it was also because Belek wasn't there so we decided that we simply missed the bus). I came home thinking it was just a dream. Finally I had an actual reason to stay home!
Today Anna (a girl on the bus) told me that the bus broke at her bus stop and that her and her parents had to drive her to school taking Dani (the little kid, the first one to be on the bus) with them. Kati (the bus driver) tried to call my mum, but she didn't have the right phone number. It's so fun to just stay home, look at your watch and think about what you would be doing if you were at school. Although I was (really) bored I liked that day because school can be even more boring than that!

Bored

I'm bored. What should I do?
