Today was, is and will be a great day for AUBG. Today we the students stood together against the new mandatory meal plan, that was voted only on the high levels of the administration of the university. No one was informed about the decision before it was voted upon from the three members who agreed on it – the President, the Provost and the CFO of the university. And I can honestly admit that we had no clear if not none, idea about it, this is said speaking as an SG member and Treasurer.
With the announcing of the plan we had to take some actions, while we were still trying to figure out ewcatly what was going on in SG, some students took the initiative in their hands and created groups in facebook in opposition to the idea. Our team joined and took some of the responsibilities – coordination, legal issues, representation, communication and so on. As a big part of the organization of the event I would like to say that this is the biggest and definitely one of the most important things I have one in AUBG.
Protesting with my classmates, marching through my hometown’s streets, yelling our slogans, whistling and standing for my rights was one of the most important, inspiring and meaningful actions I have taken in my life. Bravo to me. Bravo to all those students who organized it. Bravo to all those who participated. Bravo to us AUBG. Bravo. I am proud to be an AUBGer today. For the first time since I am in AUBG I can say it out loud and I will know that I am not lying even with one little vibe of my body and mind.

I will stand for you. And I will not surrender my rights. I’ll be always this energetic ball that you saw today and every cause I join will get if not the same, then part of the energy I involved in the event today.

Way to go AUBG, way to go. Viva Revolution!

People now aim to be the first, the best, the only one. And the longing for prosperity in the key to success. But it seems to me that our society forgot how to look around it and just struggles with paper planes, air towers and imaginary monsters. The same way as Don Quixote fought with the windmills we are fighting with our inner ghosts.
I understand the desire for improvement. I do it as well. I can’t settle down if I don’t have a dream, something to pursue and fight for, but I don’t get the idea of disregarding a whole concept just to make sure you are going to have something belonging only to you.
Having the guts to start an initiative is a great courage. I’m afraid I might be lacking it sometimes. But people, please, when there is something exactly like your idea already circulating the web, you environment or even your work place, take a second and think of continuing this. Don’t oppose to it right away. I know this might sound narrow minded and twisted but the idea of supporting the existing sources seems much more legit than creating out of nowhere new ones.
And here comes the issue of the sheep. One will lead, the rest will follow – no matter what. Can you, as a reader, as a human being, as an active part of the society imagine that someone will take you by the nose and guide you though every possible obstacle, hindrance or difficulty. Put some though into it. Look around, if you don’t fit in the group don’t just join in for the sake of it. Imagine yourself in there, do you blend in, or maybe stand out? Don’t do things just because people are asking, begging, making, requiring or suggesting you to do so..
I have said it before but I will repeat myself until someone hears me and rethinks what is going on. Do things just to make yourself happy. If you don’t , then no one else will.

And as a conclusion I want to sum it up – do what makes you happy, but please, try to force your brains for once and look around. Is it worth doing? Is it worth the effort?

It’s been really long since I wrote something just for fun. This semester turned out to be busier that I expected it, but the need to write and to put my thought into a narrative form is exceeding my laziness and packed schedule. As some thing continue to evolve, old ones fall apart and new ones are being born one of my favorite mediums in the university and my first family is fading away.

The beloved media where I initially started writing is dying out and there is no one who can help out. I disappointment followed as I found out the faith of the media, but what is left out of it is the love towards writing. And I have to be honest, I really miss it. Reporting, taking notes, raising your hand to ask a question, trying to figure out your notes due to you hand writing in the hurry, recorders and batteries.. God, I’m going to miss it.

But thanks to this blog although created forcefully (as a part of a not so interesting class) it developed into something more than I could expect. This will be my medium now. And believe me, being involved in so many things gives you a lot of food for thought. I have so much to say about so many things but the time is never enough. I can’t believe it.

Well I’ll keep you updated with the latest ideas and urges.

And a flashback from my summer . This is for everyone who’s been in love, currently is or wants to fall in love. Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to be romantic or something, this is dedicated solely to my love for the summer moments, for the freedom and endless opportunities in front of us. It’s for the love of life.

It’s time for the Finals. For the fourth time I’ll be having the usual week of finals in AUBG. Every single course that you have taken during the semester has an exam or project due this week.

Good luck to everyone. See you on Friday when I’m done 🙂

Tweeting and blogging is so much more fun, when you’re doing it for the sake of it and not being graded and monitored.

This blog has become some sort of a sharing room for me. Whoever reads it, good for you guys, you know what’s going on in my head every day (or whenever I post). In seventh grade I had the greatest idea ever. I wanted to be a writer but I knew it’s hard to just sit and write a book. So I started helping myself for the future. I started a diary. Then I finished it. Started another one, and then another, and another.. My genuine idea was to put in a book the funniest, most extraordinary and interesting stories that have happened to me.

This blog is helping me a lot to continue with this trend. I have four big note books and at some point I think I’ll print the posts from this blog and select something worth reading. There are some stories that are truly hilarious, because as everyone (probably) knows I tend to be a clumsy and energetic bouncing ball almost all the time. One day you might be reading something be me with covers and smell of fresh ink. 🙂

The idea of my post today is to tell you that we perform so much better when we are not under so much pressure. There are exceptions of course, sometimes I do even better when someone’s pushing me around and is watching my every step. But the general idea is we are who we are and we do what we do when we’re left in peace.

Continue with whatever you are doing and at some point you will find it very useful and productive. Time is never wasted, time is invested.

Life goes on. Today was a relatively productive day, I managed to get involved in some additional activities (again). But everything is kept in reasonable amounts. Nothing much to say. Only keep your heads up and pursue your goals.

And a song that I was recently reminded. Enjoy!

A MIRROR

You`ve expected it for many years.
But the miracle is here every hour.
See the mover passing by your house
with a heavy mirror!
As he walks, the streets, the houses
and the fences zoom,
people come up from the shining bottom,
cars fly out in rage like birds from a cage.
Town squares start to sway,
and trees,
roofs and balconies fall down,
blue skies flash.
You dont`t have to wonder why the mover
stoops and makes so slowly every step.
He is holding in his human hands
a whole new and amazing world.

As the well known Murphy’s Law says “If anything can go wrong, it will.” Right now when I was so happy and everything was going well, something bad had to happen.

Today in the early afternoon my dad received a call. My grandmother has been bitten by e dog. The wound was huge and they couldn’t help her in her hometown so she came in Blagoevgrad. We went to the ER, they sewed her and now she’ll have to stay here for at least a week. We’ll be going to the hospital every day to get her bandages changed. She’ll be taking antibiotics and will have to go to vaccinations every third day.

This happens one year after my mother had surgery, one year after I spend weeks in the same hospital. My grandmother’s arm is bleeding and I’m trying to stop the blood. Deja Vu’s like that are ruining my life.

And I’m leaving the country in less than a month and I won’t be able to take care of her.

And the addition today: some of the Murphy’s laws.

If anything can go wrong, it will
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong
If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something
Nature always sides with the hidden flaw
Mother nature is a bitch

Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse.

There are days when you just can’t stop smiling. I’m having one of these days.

It was a great break. I didn’t do much. Procrastinating is my thing. But I still have one more day to finish my homework and the finals are coming closer and closer. This semester flew so fast. Actually the whole year passed very fast.

I just realized how much I like making plans and finding out that they won’t work because something good happened. Things happen for a reason and we should smile at the new opportunities.

I found someone who makes me smile. 🙂 And the past few days were filled with positive energy.I felt the sweet joy of impatience and being taken care of. It was Easter and I spend it with my beloved ones, which recharged me for the next two weeks.

So the lesson today is, look around to find the people who make you happy and stick to them.

And I don’t know why, but as soon as I came home today I thought of this song, I think you might enjoy it ( it’s Romanian and it’s rather old )

There is quite a good chance that I am schizophrenic , at least to some extend.

Yesterday I was really sad, everything happening around me and I’m not paying attention. I was in the typical “couldn’t care less”- mood. But on the other hand today I’m very cheerful.

I don’t want to sound impolite or rude, because it’s one day after my mother’s birthday, but I was in reasonably good mood today.

I am usually like that to be honest. I’m sad or to be more precise – gloomy and than I get all happy and excited only because I remember something good or funny, or I know something is going to happen soon. Emotions are flying through me all the time. I’m always looking for the positive thing,something worth living through. And usually I find such things. Honestly, there are a lot of little things that will make me smile, there are a few things that will upset me, but there are very few things that will get me really happy, joyful and energetic and full with positive emotions.

And most of the time, whenever something is happening I’m not even thinking about it. I’m just going with the flow. And after it passed I start thinking and come up with ideas for the future. I start planning or shaping the future, then I decide it’s boring. Then I try to remember if it really was boring, and then I decide there’s no point in wasting time in thoughts. So I just let go. I don’t know if many people do this, but in my eyes it might be considered as a little example of a beginning level of schizophrenia.

Sometimes I catch myself talking aloud. Even when there’s no one around me. Sometimes I’d be walking on the street and I’ll see something and I’ll comment aloud. Most of the time I speak, I speak in English, which is even more weird.

I also remember times when I think of something nice that happened to me. Hug from a friend, kiss from beloved one, joke that everyone laughed at etc and I react again. I’m doing the same thing I did when the situation actually happened. So if you see me acting weird, please don’t run away, it’s normal for me and happens all the time.

My point today is that everybody is a little bit crazy. Everyone has their weird sides and different, untypical issues or stories, reactions, manners or whatever else it could be. We just have to accept ourselves for who we are.

Be crazy and don’t be afraid to show it!

And as an addition to today’s post a cheerful song that I was looking for for so long that it became ridiculous.
Enjoy and have great holidays 🙂
