Diaries

This evening I've been searching in my parent's house, where I'm staying these days, for old English books that I used during my school years because I want to study the grammar again as soon as I get back to Vilnius.
I almost didn't find any book, but I read some things from my school years such as grades, teachers' opinions, letters from my holidays in foreign countries and a complete diary from my days in Ireland!
I just forgot about this school project where we had to maintain a diary of our holidays for at least ten or fifteen days when we were thirteen. I read it and, as the teacher wrote as a mark, is very repetitive and non inspiring but what could I do if those days that I spent in Ireland with some of my best friends where all the same? It was all about playing soccer, cards, videogames, slot machines and annoying the English teacher that we had in the mornings.

It's quite impressive that my mother has kept all kinds of "information" of my school years classified by years which combined to my love for registering everything about my life makes tons and tons of data.
This blog is just another brick on the wall.

PS: Eduardo, I found the theater play that I wrote. It was as bad as we remembered it.

Blog closed for vacation

I'm in my beloved Madrid so I won't update the blog for a couple of days.

Enjoy the holidays!

The Runaways' Is it day or night?

Does Vilnius exist during daylight?

I was talking a couple of days ago with a friend about how long has been since the last time we went to the center of Vilnius during daylight... and both of us couldn't remember when was it. I asked this same question to other erasmus and the response is always the same "Hum... quite a long time ago".

Waking up at 12:00/13:00 and seeing the Sun go down (behind many clouds) at 16:00 doesn't leave many hours to see anything so, as far it goes for me, if someone would tell me that Vilnius doesn't event exist during daylight and it's created each day when night comes down and then disappears with the sunrise, I could totally believe it.

Lithuanian language exam

Hey, it wasn't THAT difficult. Ok, ok, maybe to be able to check the books and dictionaries, to know some of the answers before the exam started, to talk like hell with your groupmates and in general, to cheat as hard as we could, MAYBE has helped us.

This photo was taken by the professor before the exam started. You really can tell how nervous the people were.

Non fiction - Chuck Palahniuk

This is a compilation of articles written by Palahniuk on different magazines. And I have to say that is very irregular: some of them are damn boring while others are fascinating. I don't know if the problem is that the three longest articles were a plain description of something that I understand as "too American for me" but it was very tedious to read about people that wrestle, construct castles by their own or participate in a demolition derby. Buuuut, on the other hand we have some fantastic short stories about Chuck's life and sharp reflections about the power of writing and the process involved during the creation of a story.
