I survived!!!!!

It's the first day of spring today! Can you believe it? We have survived winter!!!! My birthday is very soon and I just can't wait!
Today is also the first day of Sonysashtag and I have to post a self portrait and five random facts about myself. How is this for a self portrait? I'm  probably the most non-photogenic person you'll ever meet so I drew myself instead. It's pretty accurate, huh?

So here are the 5 random facts:
- I almost never have an opinion of my own, so if you ever ask me a "yes or no" question I will probably respond with "I don't know".
- I love drawing people or faces and I absolutely adore graphite pencils.
- I don't believe in the statement "money can't buy happiness". The person who came up with that was trying to be deep and thoughtful, but if you look at our society now, you realise that you can't be happy without money.
- I'm used to people who talk about me behind my back and I don't mind it because it happens way too often.
- I don't know what I want to do when I'm older or what kind of job I would like to have. I also have no clear goals or targets.

February? Say what!

I've only posted two things in January! Ok, this time I PROMISE that I will post more stuff.
The weather is messed up this year. It only snowed once this winter and the snow melted right away. It feels like spring and it's not cold at all. I am not complaining though. I love the type of winter we're having this year. ^_^

!!!BARCELONA!!!

Saturday!!!!!!!

Today was the most amazing Saturday ever!
This morning I went shopping with Mum. The weather was nice and warm. Spring finally arrived!
Franny met me at Starbucks. Ten minutes later Yasmin joined us and the three of us started our journey.
We didn't know where to go exactly. The tram to the hospital was number 12 so we went to the train station to find out where it was. The stop ended up being on the main street of the city centre. Without getting a ticket we got into the tram that brought us to a street we've never been too. We had to wait 20 minutes for the other bus to arrive. Carolina was waiting for us at the hospital.
The hospital was the scariest place I've ever been to. Our friend, Marina, was on the second floor in the children-teenagers section. The walls were covered with drawings of animals and other colourful things. There were glass doors along the corridor. Behind one of these doors was Marina's room. As we came up to one of the doors we could see shadows behind it. The glass was tinted so we couldn't see the inside. There was only one place you could look through. Pale children with black circles under their eyes were lifting each other up so one of them could see us. They were like zombies, hungry for us.
Some children had visitors. A pale dark-eyed girl in a dressing gown passed by us. Her parents were talking to her, but she didn't seem to notice them. Another boy was carried in a cage-like cart.
The doctor came out and told us that we were not allowed to visit Marina this week. He took our gifts we brought for her and left.
The four of us took the tram back to the city centre and went to a nearby cafe. The cafe served this hot chocolate that was called Kama Sutra, so we decided to have it (zoum). It had a very strong bitter chocolate taste, a bit of ginger and whipped cream. Yasmin and I also took a big macaron each. It was very good!
After we decided to go "shopping". (I say "shopping" since we didn't have much money and we didn't buy anything.) We visited every single shop: H&M, Benetton, Tally Wejl, Orsay, Pimkie, Promod, Zara and even the Apple Store. We stopped at another cafe to drink some ice tea since we were quite thirsty.
The shops were starting to close because it was already six o'clock. We stopped at a restaurant and had sushi. When we were done it was already dark.
Franny, Yasmin, Carolina and I "climbed up" to the old town. We found a playground and had a lot of fun (yes, we're like 14, but, I mean, come on! Who wouldn't go on the swings!). After that, we went to the Cathedral and took a photo of us in front of it.
We got Carolina home by taking the bus.
Yasmin, Franny and I waited for Yasmin's mum at Starbucks. We didn't get anything, but it was still very fun. We talked about Sports class (running the mile? Oh hell no!), English class (got a bad grade on my essay? Oh hell no!) and CTP4 tests (not missing English or Sports? Oh hell no!). Soon, Yasmin's mum arrived and took us all home!
Today was just.... Awesome!!! I <3 my friends!

I love spring!!!

It was the first of March.
The cats started meowing.The air started being soft and gentle. The conker stands were replaced by ice cream ones.
The spring finally arrived!
School was fun (as usual). Since we don't have Maths or English *puke* on Fridays, it is generally a good day.
In CSL we watched a video about drugs and decided that we want to grow marijuana. The video told us everything about how to grow it and they also said that you get a lot of money from selling it. Just kidding, I don't want to grow it. ;-)
I didn't do anything in Art class. We drew self portraits and I finished mine the week before. I made it all purple and refused to change it when the teacher asked me to. She said that I will loose marks, but I like it the way it is...
Yasmin and I started wandering around the Picasso (art) building. We climbed on top of a chair and could see the other side of the bathroom wall. We were hoping to find a secret room with dead bodies or blood or anything interesting, but instead we found a place where they keep clay creations. After, we found another dark room with a bunch of junk in it.
In science class we went outside and examined different types of soil. It was fun, but, since we didn't have a lot of time, we didn't finish it.
After school, Yasmin and I went to the Cervin auditorium, played piano, did the cup song and listened to Vocaloid (and, since it is our tradition, the nipple song).
Simply Theatre was unusual. Most of the people weren't there so we made a lip dub music video. Sonyasmin scared people away by closing themselves in dark studios.
The most exciting thing happened after Simply.
MY DAD IS HERE!!!! YAY!!!
Mum and I met him at the airport. I was so happy and excited!!!!
Dad brought me a pink and beige bag, a purple (!!!) purse and something very special. I would tell you what it was, but since everyone (my teachers, for example) has access to this blog, I can't.
Today, the tree of us went to town and Dad bought me the new iPod nano (since my old one broke because of an Indian festival >_<)! It's purple and now I'm listening to music!
My dad's friend was also there since he had to give us Dad's old cello. It sounds and looks so beautiful! It was made in 1804 and is very precious!

I think I'm not going to do any of my homework (although I REALLY have to do my English essay) because I only see my dad a couple of times a year and I don't want to waste my time on it....
Bye!

International day!!!

Today is International Day. I don't know if you guys have it or if it's just a tradition in our school, but I'll explain what it is anyways. On International day we celebrate the different nationalities and cultures of our school. You can dress in your national costume or something from your country. (Teachers always too.)
We had French first period. Mme Farcy had this Colombian costume. Now I have no idea where she comes from. She wore a Colombian costume, speaks perfect Russian and teaches us French. Well... We had Music (a very very very boring subject) next and History. Mme Roussel wore this asian-looking-made-out-of-silk costume with her hair tied back into a bun. Nothing happened in Physics (as usual).
At the beginning of lunch everyone had to go to homeroom while all the dancers had to go practise. I was nervous for my solo piece, but I was sure I was going to do well. We were given out these gross red shirts (the other group got lovely white ones!) and had to change into our sports shorts (the others were given cute red ones!). All of us arrived to the Concha before the others. There were many stands with food from different countries. They had boiled apples and hot berry juice at the Russian store. I tried it all and recommended it to my friends.
As the show started I became less nervous. Our group dance was 10th but it didn't seem like a long time. When we out to the grass area that was assigned to be our "stage" I realised that it didn't seems like a performance at all. I felt like I was just dancing to myself with a group of friends around me. Niko (the only dude in our dance class and the whole CDL dance team) was so embarrassed. The T-shirt we were all given looked funny on him. The boys were cheering for him.
My solo dance piece was 20th. I changed into my dress and waited for my turn. There were so many people at the Concha now. The teachers all looked very funny in their dresses. Especially the two German teachers: Frau Weinz and Frau Lemacher. They had colourful dresses and aprons and Frau Weinz had braids in her hair (lol!). The funniest thing was the sponge-throwing game (how else can I explain it?). For a certain amount of money you got to throw a sponge at your teacher. There were Mr Pitchford, Mr Wilshurst, M Perron (!!!!) and Mme Roussel (I'm so ashamed I didn't get a turn to throw a sponge at her!). They actually enjoyed themselves (well... all of them except for Mr Pitchford).
Soon it was my turn. And again it didn't feel like it was performance. I just went on the "stage" and started dancing. I didn't smile a lot, though because the song I was dancing to wasn't really made for people to smile at. People cheered for me (you should have heard Yaz. She shouted like crazy, "GO SONYA!!!!). I wasn't scared because the people in the audience were all my friends or at least the people I knew. Yasmin and Franny were filming me. I'm sure I did very well because many people were congratulating me after.
So that was International Day! Tomorrow it's gona be crazy day!

Yesterday

Yesterday, it was the last day of school before our spring vacation. It was a half-day. We had fun in Maths class and dissected a rat in Biology (we even got to touch it!). The rat was so cute and it was very interesting to the inside of it. The next period we were making flags in groups. Our group made the flag of Lesotho and was the last one to finish. Then we went outside and went around the field carrying our country's flag (why the hell did we do this???). I was the only enthusiastic person among the other Russians. The borders left (most of Russian people are borders) so we had a few people in our group. There were frenchies that I never saw before and a girl I sat next to on my first of school. I don't think she even remembers me, but I do. My French teacher came to us. Too bad the flag was made out of paper. I would wave in the air if it wasn't. The AA (annoying Americans) were behind us. They were singing the Anthem. I don't have anything against America, but sometimes they can be really annoying. I know that they are proud of the place they come from, but why tell everyone about that?
School ended and Franny and I went to the lake to have our picnic. We found a lovely place and sat on a large tree stub. We had sandwiches with salad, tomatoes and mozzarella, chips, orange juice, cookies, strawberry and grapes. Then we fed the swans and the ducks, got on the bus and rode to the train station. We went to Clair's and bought slushy. We travelled back to the lake and sunbathed, listening to songs on my ipod. It was amazing!

Haha! Don't be jealous! It's not nice! I know you'll never find a BFF like Franny (because she's the best!), but keep trying!

Spring!

My Grandma came on Sunday. She even visited my school. I'm really happy about that.
I don't get this. There's a competition going on between me and Peter? All right. He already gave himself a point. Well... Four people subscribed my youtube channel. One point goes to me, doesn't it!

"I'm enjoying every day of my life, as long as it doesn't get cold again."

God! Can't believe I survived! I thought I wasn't going to... I mean... Winter. It's my least favourite season. Snow and coldness... Brrrr! I can't believe it's spring! Finally! OK, right. it's the 5th already, but... I'M SO HAPPY!!!
I was sick on the weekends so I didn't go to school today. My cousin is so lucky! She didn't have to go to school on Friday, Saturday (yes, they go to school on this day too) and Monday. It's because in Russia they're selecting a new president and the schools are closed. Lucky! I wouldn't want to go back there anyways. They say there's still snow and it doesn't seem like spring.
My Grandma is coming on the 18th! Hooray! And my cousin's going to come during the holidays! Finally there's something truly joyful in my life. I was exaggerating, actually. I'm enjoying every day of my life, as long as it doesn't get cold again.

I forget to mention something!

It's SPRIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy face!!!! :-)))))))) !!!!!!!!

The spring has come!!!

If you sniff in the air around you you will realise that it smells of spring. When you close your eyes you can almost imagine yourself on the green field of blooming flowers. (I hope none of you are allergic to it.)
Even though, it's still quite cold and it doesn't look like it's spring yet, I have a feeling that I'm a few days away from my birthday. March is my month. There's exactly a month left till my birthday. I'm sure it's going to be the purplest day of the year because Grandma and Vasjok are coming! Any ideas what I can do for the b-day party?
Can you believe this!? The week of vacation we had is over. It means there's just one more holiday till summer!!! How I miss Montenegro and its beautiful sunny mountains! I hope the summer to be as wonderful as it was before, but a little bit better. Just a tiny little bit!
In my future I see myself on the beach next to Vasjok and the Adriatic sea. That's real happiness for me.
