The pleasures in life

I have Internet at home! 😀 Not really, but I bought a GiffGaff goody bag and I transferred the Internet to my laptop, so I’m really satisfied!

Apart from that, I should point out that I got 76% on my Newsgathering module, which is a 1st. At first I was so disappointed, because I was comparing it with a 76% on an English test at my elementary school (the last time I got a mark with percentage), but eventually I found out it is quite a good mark for a university here. So I am glad : )

In contrast to my previous posts that had such a clear topic and wanted to make you aware of the problems of Bulgarian and Romanian students in the UK, this one won’t be well-structured, if structured at all. I just want to write. In the end, this was the purpose of the blog – a place for me to write randomly. Because writing is one of the best pleasures in life 🙂

Reading is another pleasure. Right now I am reading one of the best books ever – East of the West. The author is a Bulgarian who is living in the USA. His name is Miroslav Penkov and the book can be found on various languages. I recommend it to all of you living somewhere abroad and searching the answer of the question where do I belong? 

Today I heard somewhere that if you aren’t following your passion, you don’t have anything to lose. Interestingly, I was listing what I have to do in the next days and here are some of the points to be covered: prepare for my radio show (soon more info); think of a topic for the Bulgarian magazine I’m starting to write for from this month; go to the parliament in London, etc…. so definitely, I’m following my passion : )

On the other hand, I have what a friend called “the poison” – Bulgarian rakia (traditional Bulgarian alcohol drink) and I am more than trilled to share it with everyone here who is brave enough for it!

I also brought so many presents from friends and family that now my room looks much better. It’s incredible how a small gift can make you feel so special…

To sum up, January is going on quite well. And don’t forget to sign our petition 😀
