Monday at university

Monday. Hardest, laziest, longest and the most sleepy day of the week. I don’t really know a person who like Mondays.

                So, today me and my roommate overslept as usually we do on Mondays. It is becoming some kind of our tradition. Then we missed the bus and we were late for the LTA lecture. That lecture was quite easy  if not mentioning the fact that I was almost sleeping. The bad thing was that none of us had a text , I don’t think our lecturer appreciated that… after LTA we had this huge  scary grammar test. As I read that Aurelija decided to keep quiet about that test, I decided to follow her example. I don’t think that I can say something positive about grammar test at all. So, I won’t swear. After that “nightmare” we had DAK lecture. I can say that finally there I felt like in heaven. Ironical, but yes I did. DAK was unusually relaxed and calm lecture. I wish it would be like that all the time. It’s a  silly dream which will never come true. There is one very good quotation which fits here very well “science has a bitter roots but its fruits are sweet”. That’s all I wanted to write today. Bye!

P.S. Don’t forget about this lovely presentation which is coming on Wednesday.

What is friendship?

                  Do you remember your childhood? When there was no question who is your friend and who is not. All those kids, playing outside in the yard, were our friends.  Now when we are grown up all those bosom friends disappeared, they left somewhere in the past. That means that the time changes everything. New life period brings new friends. However, only true friendship will pass all those exams which life brings to us. Great friendship is an unbreakable connection between two people who understand each other from a half of word.

                To start with, I want to say that all of us have friends, family members and acquaintances. It is very hard to live alone,all by yourself. That’s why we want to have a shoulder to cry on. Someone with whom we could share our thoughts, excitements, worries and joys. The thing is that we cannot tell all our secrets to one of the fair-weather friends.  It is very important to know how to recognize real friendship from the fake one. I do not really believe the people who say that they have a lot of friends. It is impossible to have more than one or maybe two real friends because it takes a lot of time to create long-standing friendship. 

                 Although, there is one very old and good quotation “show me who is your friend and I will show who you are”. True friend is like your twin.  Faithful friend is the one from whom you can learn a lot of things, he is the one who will show you only good examples. If your friendship is true, then there will be no circumstances under which you would give up on each other. If it happens that means that your friendship was fake. There are a lot of different friendships in the world. We always look for that great friendship which life will provide us like a miracle. It is important to know that we have to be open and ready to sacrifice for the real friendship.

                  And the last but not least, you have to realize the main idea about true friendship, that if you want to gain something you have to give something back too.  You have to forget egoism and start to care about your friend’s destiny, do some useful things for him, try to help when he has a problem and do not expect to be rewarded. It is exactly what real friends do for each other. If after all those things which you have done for your friend you feel satisfied, that means that your friendship is true and very strong.

                All things considered, I want to say that it is a very serious step to start calling friendship a relation between you and other person. You have to be sure that he will be with you through thick and thin. It is important to have a hope that your friendship will survive all those ups and downs. And the most esential thing for you is to feel ready to become a loyal friend and start a new friendship.

Like a teacher

Today at the DAK lecture we have started new topic called “LOVE”.  At first we had to choose one of the quotations about this amazing feeling, I choose quotation “Love is like a war, easy to begin hard to end” by unknown author.  According to that quotation I wrote a paragraph in which I have outlined my opinion about it. It was not very hard to write about love. Maybe, because it is the time when I think a lot about it…However, after we wrote our paragraphs we switched them.  Then we had to correct and comment on them at the end lecturer took it from us.

All things considered, I don’t really think that I am ready to correct works of my group mates (grammar, spelling etc.).  I don’t feel like I know it better than them and I was afraid that I will make it even worse, with more mistakes. I quite enjoyed when I had to comment on that, because I like expressing my opinion. Lecture made me feel like a teacher and that was really exciting!

blogging?

I knew about  bloging  for a long time, I  was reading  some  blogs too, but I never thought that I will writte one , I had no time for it and maybe couldn't dare to start writting.Now I see that this is not so scary  as it seemed at first. For me it is very new and interesting thing. I  hope that it will improve my English skills either. It is  also fun to read my group mates blogs and comment on them. It is very exciting to share opinions and thoughts. Now I can't say that I am a good blogger but maybe in the future i wll become one...:)

Learning to write

The article about how to improve writting skills which  I found  seems very usefull. First of all, I think that it is very good to have favourite author because he may inspire you and  help you to find your writting style. Style is one of the most important things in writting. Good style atracts people it also shows your personality and your atitude towars the life and other things.Second important and useful thing which this article sugests to do is to let other people to criticise your essays. In my opinion, it is not bad when someone, with experience, tells you what is wrong with your essay, you do not have to fell offended, because critic will help you to learn from your mistakes.And the last but not least thing article suggested is to create your daily diary or a blog , I think it is the most practical way to improve your writting skills because the more you will write the more experience you will gain.
