Flash mob practice

Flash mob is a widespread type of entertainment all around the world. Isn't it a mood-busting and eye-catching activity for all of us? It surely is and that's why I decided to participate in one myself.
We started practicing early to ensure a smooth performance on the actual day. Gabrielė was the one to teach us all her professional moves. At first, I thought she was crazy to think beginners like us could learn all those complicated and confusing moves but after a decent amount of lessons with our teacher and some additional practice at home I actually got in control of my body and managed to last the whole dance without failing! I believe my previous experiences with dancing in primary and middle school had a slight impact on that. One achievement was down but another was yet to come. It's the pace. I could hardly get in time with my moves as the music was really fast. It seemed super easy for the majority if dancers but not for me. However, lots of practice saved me again.
   Unfortunately, just before the actual day of the flash mob both my sister and I went for a run outside and got really sick. This prevented us from participating in the activity. I am really disappointed that I had to miss a chance to show off my new skills in dancing. Despite that I'm still glad to have spent all those breaks moving my body and communicating with other dancers. It was something different yet so familiar to experiences. Moreover, the team really felt the spirit and each was ready to help to other.

Conference for scientists

Image
Vita Scientia is a conference which gathers life scientists from around the world every two years. I have never previously heard about this kind of event organized by Vilnius University students but as soon as my biology teacher a month prior to the conference offered to take part as a volunteer I agreed with no thought of hesitation.  Well, I didn't even expect to be regretful about such a decision in the future but I was wrong. It appeared to be on the last and busiest day of my Christmas holidays and the organizers were asking to volunteer for thirteen hours straight! I was devastated to finish last works and tasks of holidays but there was no way I could miss this kind of event. Not only I was interested to participate in it as much as possible myself, but I couldn't refuse to help out the organizers as there were only ten of us volunteers. So a little past 7:30 am I was already at the agreed place. To my surprise, there was nothing to do there and all of us ten were sim...

Making lunch for two

Image
Long days at school require proper lunch to fuel the brain and the body for the most efficiency at classes. My sister and I are vegetarians and this restricts our choices of lunch in the school canteen. The only options are usually some kind of soup or rice with veggies. This kind of food isn't nor nutritious neither delicious, thus we like to take meals from home. We are used to taking meals prepared by our mom but this usually means that after school you have to eat the same meal or make something on your own, which is not an option for us with all the school work. Taking all of this into account I figured to try out making quick meal for the two of us to take to school. Each day of the previous week I made something to eat for the next day and my sister was the one evaluating the taste and the meal itself. As we take meals in special food thermoses it was impossible to take proper photos and to be honest, I always forgot to do that. The only time I remembered in the morning was...

IB convention

Image
This year is a special one for Vilnius lyceum IB students because exactly twenty years have passed since IB program was founded in our school. It's something we should be proud of and celebrate together with other IB schools. Luckily, there's an annual event called IB convention, first organized by Kaunas Jesuit gymnasium years ago, which was a perfect opportunity to address pride-worthy anniversary. Our coordinators gathered all IB course a month or even more before the event to start an early organization. At first, it was hard to generate concrete ideas, especially as none of us imagined what the event should look like. It was much easier when people started to concentrate on particular aspects, such as food, CAS activities, speakers, overnight stay and, of course, welcoming, which I eventually joined as well. My task was mainly to organize the smooth proceeding of minor tasks such as present-, decoration-, arrow- and poster-making, as well as to find people willing t...
