easter holidays

As one can see, I haven't touch my blog over the holidays. There is no explicit elucidation for that, just the fact that I sometimes need a incentive to start a computer over the holidays. The inherent part of my holiday's was writing seminars for my home university, which I considered enough of a contact with a stupid machine. So, now I'm back agains, full of energy and new ideas what to write about.

volunteering

When Rebecca first mentioned the volunteer project we were about to focus on in the next few weeks, it did not seem nothing particularly new to me. However, it has turned out to broaden my horizons on this particular topic although I was not physically present on the fair itself.
Firstly, I have gained a bunch of new information considering types and names of the organizations. Although I had done some quite intensive research on this topic in my home country a few years ago, I had missed some vital aspects – such as working in order to give aid somebody. As far as I remember, there was much more stress put upon the fact that you gain new experiences and learn a foreign language (in most cases this means English) than to draw the volunteer's attention to the simple humane characteristic – will to help.
Secondly, on account of working in a group I have managed to discover others' opinions and experience about that. I believe that majority has a positive view on volunteering and would join a group of volunteers one day. Nonetheless, one should still remain realistic about that – saying is not the same as doing.
All in all, volunteering might be a rich life experience for a young person, that is why it is certainly worth trying it out.

OK, so, let´s write again what i did last week - i though lisa will forget about this task when i heard we are supposed to write blogs ..:)
I spent most od my time improving the skill called speaking :) reason? my new roommate is from rumania, can not say a word in german, but speaks fluently and quite advanced english, so we tend to speak a lot. above all, she´s the best roommate of all 4 of them, so we get on quite well.
on thursday evening, i came home at half past seven, exhaused from the whole day at school... but i still "had" to go to the english stammtisch, cause i was meeting dina, ivana und pia at nine... somehow i manage to summarize my energy and off i go ..:) however, it was worth going there - the atmosphere is nice, the pub is not packed at the office pub - consequntly also not that full of smoke - i actually managed to breath, which does not happen often nowadays.:)
so, for any of you still hesitating about going there, i warmly recommed it!
needless to say, i was doing homework - do i have to make a comment on that?!
