Santa is coming :)

This evening and tomorrow are dedicated to Santa Claus! :)

Today a kind of a Santa-festival is going to be held at the dorm! I've already met Santa, because he knocked in every room door and brought some presents for those who had had good grades last year. I got a nice little package from him :) I was extremely surprised, because I wouldn't believe that there could be miracles in a university dorm. :D

Cheers! :)

Exam period! :(

As you have noticed we are in the exam period now. :( Well, as a second-year student I have some experience but this doesn't mean that I don't have to do anything, of course.

The most interesting things in connection with this time period are the behaviour and the reactions of people. Most of us have many courses and seminars, moreover sometimes we have to be prepared with written tests before the exams. :( We need many time to do these, due to it we have no energy or mood to do something else that we would like to. During this period people become nonchalant and nervous, which can cause unusual reactions from them. Lets say an example.

Today I went down to the computer room to have a look at my e-mails and my blog. (I do it every day. :) ) This evening I had to wait almost an hour to get a computer. While I was waiting I was looking what other people were doing. They were writing in different forums (about general and stupid topics) and they used the Messenger (a.k.a. msn). I wondered why they were spending their time doing these things one week before the exams. Other people have to use the computers for more useful things!

Finally I got a computer. I started to do my necessary exercises, when a girl came into the room and started to shout in an aggressive way. She wanted to get a computer, too and said that she was fed up with those who were playing games on computer and using the msn or any kinds of chat programs. But the way she spoke made me very angry, because she was talking to me and not to the involved people. I said that I needed the PC (that I had got 10 minutes before) and she had to wait a little bit. But she was furious and went out from the room. The most interesting fact was that the target people kept on doing their chatting without any ignorance towards the others.

So, I would like to please the students not to waist their time, not to do frivolous things and let the others to do their exercises on computers, too. And be tolerant towards the others, of course!
Thanks!

Animals - part 2

When I decided to write about animals, I wanted to divide this topic into two parts. The first part (as you can see) is about pets and their positive properties. In this part I'll talk about other animals but throughout a different point of view.

Recently I've watched a horror-movie about spiders (tarantulas, to be more precise) on tv and a question has just come into my mind. Why do film-makers do such types of films?

Well, I think they always choose certain species of animals that have fearsome appearance or properties. For example, if you consider the situation of bats, they are usually compared with vampires. Or in case of predators, the directors usually put an emphasis on the(ir) brutality.

To tell the truth, I don't really like spiders or any types of insects. Insects have more legs than four, sometimes they are ugly (for example cockroaches) and they can be found in almost everywhere, so they disturb me. The only exception is ladybird, because it is small and cute. :) But as for spiders....I'm afraid of them! Maybe because of these films, but I don't know the whole reason. In the past I ran away if I had seen one or I just killed them at once, but now I'm trying to keep them alive and avoid the touch with them. I think the only advantage of these films is that they can help abolishing our fear towards these animals.

I hope you won't have nightmares after watching these films. ;)

Cheers! :))

Animals - part 1

I would like to write about domestic animals. The most common pets in Hungary are: dog, cat, parrot, fish and hamster. I chose these kinds of animals because these stand very close to men.

At home I have a dog and a parrot. I prefer the dog, because I don't really know what to do with a bird: I cannot walk with it, it doesn't pay attention if I spoke to him ad I can't play with it. :(

A dog is quite the opposite of a bird: I can walk, play and chat with it. :) Moreover it can keep unwanted people away with its barking, so it can defend our home. My dog is a Bolognese Bichon Frise, which is a rare race. His name is Beck (after David Beckham because my brothers like football). He is 5 years old and we got him form one of our cousins. He is quite small and light (being only 7 kg). He has long and wavy fur, which has to be combed every day.

He is intelligent and has good sense. In the morning he gets up from his basket as soon as he hears the sound of the coffee maker, because he knows that he is going to get a sugar cube, which is among his favourites. :)

He can behave unusually sometimes. Before a one week long summer vacation he is taken to our grandma. He doesn't really like to be taken away from us. During this one week period he doesn't eat anything, because he is depressed because of the situation of not being with us. But when we return to him, he becomes happy: he keeps barking, jumping and running around us. I can say that he got used to being with his real owners. :)

That's all I can write about him (because no interesting stories in connection with him comes into my mind) and I'll share some pictures.

Cheers! :)
