GRAND PRIX

"We do not remember days, we remember moments." - Cesare Pavese

Oh, time flies.. Almost two weeks ago, I organized an equestrian competition with my two schoolmates Annie and Brigita. As the event took place in Heimtali, we named the event simply after its location - Heimtali Grand Prix. It's really hilarious that I agreed to do something like this because I've only rode a horse once before and it was still when I was a little child. However, I like challenge, so planning the Grand Prix was a new experience for me. It wasn't easy but it was suppose to be challenging.

Going to congratulate the winners with Brigita and Annie 

It was quite frightening for me to see the horses ride so fast and jump over the obstacles

We started early in the morning. Got up and waited for Brigita to pick me up so we could go and put the things ready for the competition. The event itself started at 11 o'clock so we had a fair enough time. There was about 20 participants and three different levels. Everything went fine except we had two crashes, one was quite crucial but at least both riders were fine afterwards.

The atmosphere was country-like

It's been a while again. I haven't been able to make a post because I've been really busy studying and organizing an equestrian competition with two of my schoolmates. I'm going to write about the event in the next post because we haven't got photos of the contest from the photographer yet. Anyway, pretty much everything in school goes quite well right now, actually it went until now. My average grade right now is 5.0 - a mathematics test, a biology presentation and a laboratory work of chemistry, all went really fine. But today, just before I started making this post, I had to do an English test. Let's just say it went south. It was one of the hardest English tests I've ever had - the vocabulary and structures of the clauses there were horrifyingly difficult. Now I find my dream of studying abroad ridiculous.
Found the following poem when I was helping Merili with physics at her place. Not a fan of poetry but this one's golden.

I'm sure that my English isn't good enough to translate it as perfectly as it's written in Estonian

Talking about my dancing experience so far: folk dancing lessons have been hard for me because I've never danced folk before and Margaret is giving me a hard time due that, social dancing is thankfully something that I'm quite familiar with, also because Margaret couldn't come to dance with me in that class, I'm dancing with Liisa instead. But what can I do, they're both better dancers than I am. A characteristic word which Marga described my dancing skill with was "puujalg" (in En. "wooden leg") - that's how "great" I am. x)

Busy with dancing (Ingrid & Margaret on the pic), jogging till I'm breathless (like you can see on the picture) and spending time with my bro

I only have one thought that I want to share with you left. So far, I've been using this blog to impress my optimistic and positive side. I have a Twitter account in Estonian to show that my life isn't really that fun and great as it seems from the blog, I want people to understand it. I like to write about the good things happening in my life, it's like I re-experience them. That's all, have a good day! :)

The first schoolweek has finally ran into an end. The week went slowly but it was really cool to see my classmates again. It's my final year in high school so I thought about taking everything from it - I signed up for a choir, two different dance lessons and a career development class. But why did I take two dance lessons? You can blame it on my dance partner Margaret who somehow managed to convince me to join her in folk dance lessons too. I only wanted to take classes in social dancing like rumba, samba, waltz because I think these dance styles will be useful to know in later life and I really like these styles. In conclusion, my schoolweeks are going to be too damn busy. Considering how lazy person I am, I don't know how I'm going to handle the pressure.

Couple days ago, I had a tiny little "picnic" with my friends. I don't know if I can call it a picnic because the only food we had there was Nutella but we didn't need anything more. We just thought that we should get out of the town and just be somewhere where it's quiet and relax before the next schoolday begins.

It's good to have good friends with who I can always have a nice time

Furthermore, my classmate Brigita recently threw a birthday party. It was a costume party where the party attendees had to dress up as a comic or cartoon character. Me, myself & I dressed up as Joker. I had Merili to put a make up on me and I took some colorful clothes from my mother's closet. We also tried to dye my hair green but since we had so few time, the dyeing didn't go so well and my hair weren't really green. But still, the make-up was lit thanks to Merili! The make up was perfect till I went to sauna, then the scary make-up went even more scarier. Like Merit and Triin said to me - "Now you know what is it like to be a woman." We also went skinny dipping and ate a lot. Mark was dressed up as Batman so I ofc kicked his ass too. The following morning we played some table tennis and I helped the ones who unfortunately had a hangover.

Yesterday, it was Grandparents Day and I visited my granddad who talked about his trip to Norway. He also gave me some Norwegian Krones so now I have to visit Norway myself too. I also went to see my grandmother who served me some cake and as always, it was really delicious.

It's time. The schoolbell has rung and it's time to throw shorts back into the closet and bring out the jacket. The last days of the summer holiday were quiet. I hung out with my friends and went to see Suicide Squad. We went to see it in Tartu and I was the driver to get us there. The movie met my expectations - the plot wasn't anything special but the humor and special effects made the film awesome. But damn, Margot Robbie is hot af.

2 Fast 2 Furious

Lately I've mostly spent my time with Mark, Simon, Merili and Caspar (also on the pic above, riding shotgun). Took the last of the holiday. We've watched movies, played FIFA, cruised down the streets, listened to my stupid jokes and we even tried on Merili's clothes with Mark. And Simon still gets destroyed by me in FIFA16, can't wait for the next FIFA (omgomgomg).

But like I said - school. I'm starting my final year in gymnasium as a 12th grader. The first two days of school were easy. On the second day we had to do some activities which were really fun. The best one was where we got into groups and my group had to put a straitjacket on me while I was acting all crazy. I made it really hard for them, eh.
