school starts

so it's saturday september 13. the summer will end september 15th at 9 o'clock when the new school year will start. in my opinion the summer starts when the summer break starts and the summer ends when we go back to school. the summer is the time when i can do all i want, i don't have to think that tomorrow i will go to school, it's the best time of the year. i don't think that being a high school student in romania is fair because we have 8 hour school days at least twice a week. my parent work 8 hours and they are payed! the head of the ministry of education gave some laws about being illegal to stay in school more than 6 hours a day and school days starting earlier than 8 o'clock. i hope that this year the rules will be respected and we'll feel better in school because until now the rules weren't respected. i'm angry right now at romanian headmasters for thinking that we are students to learn, and that is all we should do and probably that is way i want so badly to go and study in a foreign country. i want to see the mentality there and the way that the people there think about having fun learning. theoretically we're having fun learning in romania too but we learn too much and a lot of things that won't be usefoul to us not even in college. probably i'm to angry right now and i should end my post here because it will take forever if not. sorry for the sudden end of my post!

my vetca experience

now, reading the interns blogs i wish i had my blog earlier this summer so i can share my experience in camp with you. anyway i can tell you about my experience at vetca this year, although i was there only for two weeks excepting work week. at first i taught it's going to be easy, no sentiments involved, i just translate and that's all. after my first day in camp i began to realize that it's something more. at first the kids weren't so enthusiastic about being in my team but soon after they started to cheer with us and do anything they could to get the points. first week of camp for me was more like getting used to camp and activities there.
unfortunately the last day of the second "week one" came and tears began to appear in people's eyes. even the kids that i never thought will cry after camp cried their eyes out. this was one of the most emotional moments of the second week.
the seventh "week one" was great! i had a great team, the kids in my team were enthusiastic and all of them wanted ti win. unfortunately we were on the second to last place in the end. i can't say very much about this week because almost all went according to plan. the worst thing in the seventh week was that brian had food poisoning, but god lifted him from pain and cured him. all i remember is that about 2 am brian and ovi were talking in the tent and after that brian, brian (briman) and ovi went to the hospital.
after that was the time to break down camp vetca. everyone worked hard so we finished the job in just a day and a half. i had a great time breaking down the camp, or better say riding on the roof of the van, being chased by dogs and stealing corn from people's gardens.
i just want to thank for all the friends i meet in camp! all in all it was a great experience for me in camp vetca this summer!
