Making martenitsi 

On 28^th February we made martenitsi for Baba Marta Day. We had a great fun while doing it, because no one knew exactly how the martenitsi have to be made. In the end the results were great, as always. These martenitisi are going to be given to the students of the college. I will tell you about the results on 1^st of March.   

Charity club meeting

On 27^th February we had charity club meeting. We discussed our future activities and distributed everyone’s tasks.  I guess I will have my exams when some of the greatest campaigns of the club are carried out, but that’s life. I have to study! All in all, there was nothing special about that meeting. I’ve already shared my negative attitude to this kind of activities, so there is nothing else to say.

St. Valentine's Day

The big day!!! We all expected 14^th February with hope for appropriate celebration. But let’s talk about our school activities. In the morning we were selling valentine’s cards and bracelets in the school. Of course, the money was for our charity club and its future campaigns. Expectedly, most of the students who bought cards and bracelets were from 12^th grade. Happy St. Valentine’s Day, twelve-graders! We also give our teachers cards for free, because we all love them and appreciate their work.

Our next task was to create huge hearts for Veliko Tarnovo’s municipality, our local newspaper – “Yantra Today” and for the school hall. We cut the hearts from red cardboard and make little holes for ribbons. Then we wrote on them wishes about the day and our loved city. At noon we went first to the municipality where we give cards to all of its members to say “Thank you!” for the co-operation and support through the years. We were many students, so I decided to give cards to strangers on the street. I told you many times before that I love communicating with people and about the joy that you feel when you make somebody smile. Of course, sometimes you are disappointed when somebody thinks that you want money from them and try to avoid you, but most of the times people are friendly. Anyway, our next stop was the office of the local newspaper. People there are very kind and we have been working with them for eight years, so we were glad to see them as they were. We had a short speech about the St. Valentine’s and love and this is how our sharing ended.

I should mention that this year, as the previous one, was accompanied with love poems and songs on the street. All in all, it was a great day full of happiness and positive emotions!

CAS meeting

On 2^nd February we had an organizational CAS meeting. On that day we planned all of our future activities for the second term and prepared our new planning pages. Nothing interesting at all, except the news, that we are continuing with our Tourism club and we shall go somewhere this term. This made me happy because I dream of some free time and vacation with no student books and reports to deal with. Unfortunately, I think that it won’t happen, because of our tasks and permanent lack of time.

Art club
On 8th February we had a simple task to do. It turned out that we need more cards and bracelets, so we had to make them. This time it was easier, because we knew the procedure. It is 8th and 14th February is coming, so we are getting more and more enthusiastic! :)

Charity club meeting

On 23^rd January the school charity club had an organizational meeting once again. We discussed St. Valentine’s Day and distributed the tasks between us. I love this holiday, so I didn’t find the meeting to be boring this time. You can find more information about 14^th February in my next posts.

Billiards competition

On 31^st January we organized a little billiards competition. We were six girls (the whole IB group), divided into two groups. Of course, our team won. You know how irritable is a girl when she loses a game, so you can imagine the situation – little venom spread all around. Anyway, these were extremely amusing hours, the perfect way to relax in the end of the day.
