Open days at the college and art make-up

On 22^nd March Veliko Tarnovo celebrates its holiday. It is one of my favourite days of the year, when I always have a great time. Anyway, this was not the case this time. I was in school till 10 pm, but it is not important. In the morning, our school had the so called “open doors” and there were many visitors. I took part in making cards for charity. The strange technique we used this time was painting with potatoes. We created forms from a potato, used some dye and put it on coloured paper. In the end, we were all dirty, but the cards were very sweet.

In the afternoon, we went in one new cosmetic shop, where we had our face made up. The girls who worked there gave us some ideas about our make up for the prom. We also discussed the art of make-up techniques which I find to be very interesting. In the end, we were all beautiful and ready for celebration.

Table tennis

Today my ex-classmates and I organized a little table tennis competition. This was one of the funniest activities recently. I should confess that I am not a good player, but luckily I had quite good performance. Some years ago, I was playing tennis and today I remembered those days. It made me a bit sad, but we should remember such days with good.

 

Charity concert

On 14^th March we visited a charity concert, taken out by thirteen schools. Of course, the performances were not professional, but the effort that everybody put has to be appreciated. I enjoyed it a lot and found something beautiful in each one. I remembered some of the songs we were listening in primary school and I felt wonderful. Expectedly, I enjoyed the most the performance of my classmates. They presented a dance of Michael Jackson and sang a few songs. All in all, it was a great concert.

Theater 

On 13^th March we went to the local theater to watch “Ladies room”. To be honest I didn’t like the way that the actors played, but the performance as a whole had its idea. It was about teenagers and the drama was all around. There were love and cheating, money, drugs and alcohol. On the other hand, the characters totally differ - there was the feminist, the unfaithful boyfriend and his depressed girlfriend, the sensitive girl and the gay, who was the smart one. During the play, he was revealing the main idea about how short our life is and that we have to love each other, because all bad things we do have consequences. The thing that I liked the most was the finale. It was colourful and beautiful. Actually the end was sad, but it touched me; it made me think about my life and I realized how meaningless our problems are.

Baba Marta Day

On 1^st of March all Bulgarians celebrate Baba Marta Day. It symbolizes the beginning of the spring and is one my favourite holidays. On this day we give each other bracelets which are called martenitsi and are made of white and red threads. The red colour symbolizes vital energy and the white one – purity and happiness.

We gave martenitsi to all students of the college, wishing them health and joy. For me, this day means better time and makes me dream of my favourite season - the spring and its beautiful flowers. Happy Baba Marta Day!
