In the air!

so the weekend was great cuz finally i could fly again..and be surrounded by people who love to fly who love the air! and visit some places that I could stay forever..
I was always a bigger fan of the air than for example water or ground.. so this weekend I went to Pociunai with my dad and could see how wonderful everythin looks from above: the river, fields, towns, etc. amazing nature!


and then the next day I drove with my fam to Panevezys to a great show "Zmogus paukstis" which is dedicated to a great pilot who died in a plain accident earlier this year Vytautas Lapenas. He was an amazing man who made impossible possible even after a very serious accident showed that it's possible to fly even being dissabled. such kind of people are the ones we should learn from..

off topic: I think I'm a workaholic person cuz I think I have too less work to do thesedays which drives me crazy sometimes..on the other hand i love doin nothin or watchin movies or sleepin - just bein lazy:)

so, summertime came..

don't kno why but have some weird feeling about this summer, i feel like this beginning is somehow the end of something. yea the school year is about to end but also it's kind of sad because sooo many ppl are leaving or already left, to search for new adventures, experiences, and me? stayin here in the city when the wether is callin to go outta here..but anyways hopefully will find something exciting to do..should change the attitude that this is only the beginning of partyin and spending time in beautiful Lithuania;) it is beautiful at such time!

comin back with thoughts about education..

it's been long again since my last blog entry.. but it's better now than never i guess. just remembered one topic that i was keeping in mind to write about some time ago. it's again about education.. i'm pretty happy about my university and the way studies are organized there but in general education in Lithuania kinda sucks.. the processes of improving it are sooo slow that i'm not sure if we catch up with other countries. starting with primary and middle school kinds there are not taught the most important things in life but instead they get some classes they do not need. times are changing and nowadays more and more diversity comes to our lives even in Lithuania.. but most of the kids in our country don't have a clue about race issues or other things. instead they must attend religion class which is also not that relevant thesedays because we have not only Roman Catholics around us, but of course most of the schools cannot offer you a choice and it happenes that others are kind of discriminated. talking about high school education, senior year in most of the schools is like a hell, everything depends only on two or three final exams! but shouldn't it be that you collect the knowledge throughout the years and get some credits for various exams, projects, etc.? i don't see the point in that one 1,5hrs exam when half of the students are so stressed out because it's one of the first bigger exam in your life.. and after that choosing basically ANY university or college that you can get in.. im glad that more and more people are taking a year of after school to understand what they really want to study or try to choose better education because if you really want everything is possible..
and now looking and university.. what kind of people are there? smart kids, cool kids, like in movies..not that long time ago there was a tv show about bachelor and master studies. some of the students shared their experience while sitting in auditoriums. majority of students don't want anything i mean they are so passive in classes they you'd never get an aswer from them. what is more interesting sometimes listen to people around you..especially girls:) polishing their nails, reading girlish magazines, talking about fashion, boyfriends, etc. this is true.. of course there are many students who work nowadays but what happens is that work comes first than studies, but is it the point of going to university?? ok maybe that's only my personal opinion..hopefully one day things will change or at least the brightest part of youth generation will change them and our children will have opportunities to get better education in their home country.

don't you think that studyin is a good thing? i mean just think how many things you find out while reading different books, preparing research papers and various projects?? i think this is a great opportunity we have of course it has to be done with motivation and eagerness to learn...


so gotta go get some education, u do the same ;)

HAVE A GOOD DAY!

9/11

today is the sixth anniversary of the day that the world will remember forever.. 2,974 victims in total (World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and a field in PA). i'm sure that this day changed the way people look at different things in the world, it changed the understanding of humanity.. it will always be one of the worst days in the world's history

9:55, 10:29 a.m. were the times that the planes hit the first and the second of the twin towers. 11 is the mysterious number that dominated when you look deeper into this catastroph (read more:http://www.september11news.com/Mysteries2.htm )

Today, on the sixth anniversary new contructions are in progress. There should be a museum open in 2009 and new building are scheduled to open in 2011.

stop and make a pause, to remember this day and those people, their families and lives..

back to uni after 3months of not studying...

today was THE day:) we got back!sooo weird..cool to see ppl that i haven't seen for so long, difficult to listen to the things that are said during the lecturer, oh well, gotta get used to all of this again.. still kind of crazy, everyone is running around to get books, schedules, organizers and so on, even tho there's still some organizing not done, the first of septermber celebration was pretty cool. new building, nice surrounding, happy new people, cake, green bridge band and....rain!but it's all good;) ok gotta get ready study hard!;)

FREE THE JENA "6"

today i've been invited to join this group on facebook but i had no idea what's this all about...until i read the story.. one more horrible segregation-era oppression case. because it's really important to me i've read everythin and i was shocked that this is still happening in the world. i know that some stereotypes are still alive especially in the states but i hope that there will be a day when people won't separate themselves into different races. we are all different and that's the beauty of the world but looking to the facts in history, it's up to us to change this! "It's a story that reads like one from the Jim Crow era, when judges, lawyers and all-white juries used the justice system to keep blacks in "their place." i'm not gonna tell the whole story but it sounds horrible, you can read more here http://www.blackamericaweb.com/site.aspx/bawnews/jenasix702 and you can sign onto ColorOfChange.org's campaign for justice in Jena http://www.colorofchange.org/jena/?id=2559-212460

Rudens kvapas..

Nors tik rugsejo 2, bet jau siandien uzuodziau gana slykstu rudens kvapa.. Saltis. Snarantys lapai. Degantis sienas. Nerimstantys pauksciai. Baltos laidotuviu geles. Akys prisikaupe asaru. Besiblaskantis vejas. Nerimas. Tustuma. Senatve. Mirtis. Susitikimai. Idealiai blizgantys batai karste. Kaimo zmones rikiuojantys mirties eile. Baime. Dar neatverstos knygos. Zmones laukuose. Apserksnijes langas ryte. Balos. Nauji issukiai. Ledinis vanduo stingdantis rankas. Lietus. Liudesys. Nezinia kas bus rytoj. Tingumas. Slyksti savijauta. Toks tas rudens kvapas..

freshmen camp a.k.a. 3days partyin:D

so that was the weekend when all the new university students got together to get to know each other as we did the same last year. first of all i didn't want to go there that much and on the way to the place i was still thinkin of things that i couldn't manage during the week and so on but... not that much time past and Egle was havin a blast:D dancin like crazy already in the car, then tryin to "build" a team from people that stayed in house no.6 :D yea this was THE house, the people were great even tho we thought that this is not gonna be fun.. first night was partyin soooo hard, proly mixed almost everythin what's possible and danced like craaaazy:) second day was mostly chillin, talking and then again partyin (pictures later hopefully) so it was great to relax and not to think of things you have to do at least for couple of days even tho it's kinda hard to come back to routine now:)

Just some random moments to remember from some parties..sad that i don't have any pics me dancin on tables (it's what i do in most of the parties if i have a chance..)

globalization (2nd part)..

just a short note..i've been discusing a lot about globalization issue with one of my friends.. and started thinking "how many people i've "lost" because of it??" they are not gone but probably i'm not gonna see them ever again in my life.. familes, love, friendships - globalization breaks them all. yea we become stronger by living in different environments, learning about new cultures, meeting new people, doing different things but at the end it's sooo hard to leave everything and to forget that you didn't experience it! one of my biggest dreams is to gather all the people that i've met in my life to one place and to talk to them again...even tho u have to believe in your dreams i know that this one is imposible (unless i become a millionaire and i won't have nothing to do:)), talking seriously i still hope to see at least some of them.. oh well, that's fron another site IS the beauty of life and you have no choice just to be happy to have met those people:)

Papsakok man save

Papasakok man save. Pasakyk, kuo gyveni, ką mąstai ir jauti. Atsiverk man.
Nes kai tu neatsiveri, aš negaliu tavęs suprasti.
Kai tu slepiesi, man atrodo, kad tu manim nepasitiki.
Kai negaliu tavęs išklausyti, nesujaučiu tau reikalingas.
Kai negaliu tavęs suprasti, nejaučiu tavo pasitikėjimo ir nesijaučiu tau reikalingas, man sunku tavimi pasitikėti.
Papasakok man save. Leisk man tave išgirsti ir suprasti.



(kazkur radau..ir man patiko)

globalization...



it was weird when i went to the village where my grandmother lives.. i was shocked by the environment around the house.. i used to spend at least a month every summer there, run in the fields, have tons of cats and dogs around, got to the gardens of neighbours to get some fruits, play different games with kids around, go for long walks and do many other fun things.. but now all the houses are sold and they are gone except two in the middle...this huge logistic company built enourmous buildings around, changed the road and big vans are always going there.. there's also a new railway build for trains to trasport everything... it looks soooo sad, everything what we used to have as children is gone!

Life..

this is what i call life - one of the best moments this summer cuz overall it kinda sucks but there's no time to complain. so last week was great:) it started with a big breakdown but then everything turned out well..i got my driver's license!!!:)yay im happy about it so after that i wanted to start celebrating..we went to watch simpsons movie and after that had some coctails with Vaida, Vilma and other girls. then we took a walk and my bday started near Cathedral.. wednesday was aaaaall for me:)i slept, bought some food, made nice lunch and spent some time answering greeting messages. then i went to a suprise party for one friend and i also got suprises which were very nice:)i became a princess!!!!a drunk princess btw..:)i got my crown and everythin and i got some more presents and i was walkin in the street soooo happy, then we stopped in a coctail bar and stayed there for some time:D next day i felt a bit drunk and i left my computer and everythin and took a train to Klaipeda. beach was great, music in a ferry, meeting one friend by accident, then party with my cousin and friends, perfect weather..mmm...miss it already. then on the way back home we got stuch in a traffic jam and it sucked finally i got back to my lovely Birstonas and was walking alone at night, riding a bike and spending some time with my fam.. no im back, yeah to Vilnius time to start workin but it's sooooo hard after not doin anythin for a week, gotta catch up cuz the situation is gettin kinda stresfull...

so, everyone look for small things that would brighten your day and make you happy;)

People doing "BIG" things..

What wonderful people i‘ve met i‘m amazed with their energy and passion they have, huge willingness to make some changes in this world, to make differences in countries, in personalities. They are so lucky, they have opportunities to change so many lives, to develop personalities, to leave unforgetable experiences for everyone who had this honour to be met.. One good work calls the other.. and I HAVE A DREAM that one day i can be as passionate as them, the ones that make such changes, i hope i will be able to help others and give them an amazing chance to experience the same things that i did, the year that changed me as a person. I started appreciating many more things, i found true friendships and learned so much that you couldn‘t even recall everything. It‘s the best school that i‘ve ever had it‘s a „life“ school that teaches you things that some people might not understand for the whole life they live when you are just sixteen. But life is cruel and sometimes not fair and one more time i could realize that when i found out that one of these amazing people that made this happen and was a big part of my experience is punished with one of the worst deseases ever! You start asking your self but why?and you never can find answers to such questions because probably no one will find explanation for this.. It is how it is, the only thing i can do just say big THANK YOU for these people and wish them luck, strength and all the best i can. YOU really are doing BIG things..
