One photo a day

Before IB one of my hobbies was taking pictures of the surrounding world. I never had a proper camera, so Iphone was my saviour. At the time photography was a way to perpetuate the beauty I saw around me, but the tight schedule of an IB student made me forget about such interest. So, to commemorate long forgotten hobby I decided to jump all the way in and try out 30-day photography challenge. Ar first, I was very excited to take pictures but as there were certain themes for each day as a part of a challenge, I really struggled to find the way to convey the ideas of some days in an artsy and appealing way. As a result, I skipped a few days (not intentionally) because nothing managed to catch my eye fitting the theme on those days. Still, I'm proud of the photos I took. The priority for me was quality and not quantity, so forgive the fact of an incomplete challenge. Next time I wouldn't opt for a month-long photography challenge because I'll admit, it's too much to take in. Should have tried a week long or so.
Here's the challenge I followed:

And here are the photos:
Day 1: SELF PORTRAIT (not a selfie person, to be honest)
Day 2: WHAT YOU WORE
Day 3: CLOUDS (it was a gloomy day and I could get a satisfactory photo) 
Day 4: SOMETHING GREEN
Day 5: AFTER DARK (in a bus on my way home)
Day 6: OBSESSION (yes, I was obsessed with my short hair) 
Day 7: CHANGES TO COME (don't want winter to come at all...)
Day 8: ROUTINE (can you guess the location? it's MKIC, where I spend every Saturday studying and sometimes Sunday as well)

Day 9: SOMEONE YOU LOVE (my sister, so unpredictable, right?)

Day 10: CHILDHOOD MEMORY (didn't have any ideas for this theme)
Day 11: SOMETHING BLUE (the sky was extremely clear that day, lucky me!)
Day 12: SUNSET (I'm sorry, but it was one of those cloudy autumn days)
Day 13: CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT (cannot live without my phone, but how could I take a photo of my phone with it itself?)
Day 14: EYES (couldn't take a close up photo with an iPhone) 
Day 15: SILHOUETTE (on my way to school, models: mom&dad)
Day 16: A GOOD HABIT (didn't have any ideas for this theme as well)
Day 17: TECHNOLOGY (as an IB student, I'm constantly surrounded by laptops:))
Day 18: YOUR SHOES 
Day 19: SOMETHING YOU WANT 
Day 20: IN MY BAG (my bag is a mess and I'm ashamed to show it not even considering taking a photo)
Day 21: FACELESS SELF PORTRAIT (hate this photo, but that's the best I could achieve)

Day 22: INSPIRATIONAL (I love flowers and they do really inspire me to see beauty around me)
Day 23: PATTERNS (can I even call this a pattern? it's stairs if you didn't understand yet)
Day 24: ANIMAL (my neighbor's cat; I liked the shadow in this picture)
Day 25: STRANGERS (I feel creepy taking pictures of strangers...) 
Day 26: CLOSE-UP (again, couldn't take a close-up photo with an iPhone) 
Day 27: CELEBRATION (didn't have any ideas for this theme)
Day 28: FLOWERS (my mom's little garden; already dying off, unfortunately)
Day 29: BLACK&WHITE (my favourite picture of all!)
Day 30: SELF PORTRAIT (again, not a selfie person...)

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...
