Queen in people's hearts


Today is 15 anniversary since Lady Diana's death.   You are! my inspiration and idol forever. I always will remember you. We love you!.  She has  made so a lot of things for charity. Diana was open and honest person.  I'm impressed she was a real angel who come back to sky so early. She always loved kids and people. She helped them, she wanted to do that.! I want to follow her steps by volunteering somewhere,  helping to other. She did it with open heart, she spoke with simple people, she helped them.  I don't want to speak about death because there will be mysteries forever. Nobody knows the truth. So, let's think and remember her.

 I can't describe that, but she is someone who really close for me. Probably because of my name i think so, but she is a real Queen. Her smile, her taste in fashion. I really love her. I'm admiring her actions. We can't say exactly what was the true, how was it. But we can say Diana helped people with open heart! Not for popularity no. She did it, she wanted to do that. She was one of the famous people who really wanted to save people.
 She cared about them, when most of people just forgot about many problems. I'm admiring this person. I think she's a beautiful example who we

need to be. How we need to act, think. She had a hard life, full of sad things.
But there was not only the world with press, popularity, there was another side, another world of opportunities to help other. The other side of people who truly admired her and loved.

Diana was an amazing person.  Everything what she had done was honestly. She was honest with people, she hadn't acted as a famous person. She could speak with simple people, touch them, take kids in her arms. Everything. Lady Diana was one of us, simple, honest people.



Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name...
..And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
     Elton John- Candle in the wind. 


Helping people in need is a good and essential 

part of my life, a kind of destiny.
HIV does not make people dangerous to know, so you can shake their hands and give them a hug: Heaven knows they need it.
Princess Diana 

Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.
Princess Diana





She was and I'm sure is a beautiful Mother!
Who truly loved and still loves  her sons.










She is a Queen in people's hearts! 
Good Bye England's rose. 

Rest in Peace <3

Ukrainian Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day Ukraine!
( I was kinda lazy, so btw. Ind. Day was on 24th of August, just let you know)

However I loved America and England and wanted to live there, but my Motherland always will be Ukraine. I'm proud to be Ukrainian. I love my country and it doesn't matter where I will live, study etc. I'm Ukrainian! It's 21st b-day. It's an adult age. Happy B-day Ukraine!

So, time to celebrate our Independence Day after American. We haven't any BBQ on backyards, but yeah we have fireworks. We decided to go to the park with attractions. There I bought Hot-Dog ( but it was completely Ukrainian) and as normal people I said to my friend " Let's eat it while sitting on grass" It took me some time to explain everything, but i won. How do that? JUST SIT ON GRASS AND EAT UR HOT DOG. Yup, of course some people watched at us, huh as usual, whatever...we were relaxed. I was on slights, it had to be American but it's very simple... btw. I screamed just for fun :D Hmmm...I started to sing country music and shout WHAT"S UP DUDE....

In a way to shop two guys wanted trolled us or so...but i was the first...i just said "What's up, dude? "...They were confused, my friend were shocked that i did that... Welcome back Diana :D...And these guys are " We don't know" and run away from us... Everybody laughed of my actions. Then we met them again " Thank you for English" I was impressed and said " Dude". Guys " Dude". So, like that they know the new American word " DUDE"


That's not all. U know what is ridiculous? I bought coca-cola to remember America while celebrating Indep. Day and then I've noticed the date of manufacture it was the 4TH OF JULY!!! Dude, i'm celebrating Ukrainian Ind. Day now, but my coca-cola was created in American Ind. Day... mysteries are continuing :D Isn't it awesome? 4th of July! Awww....


Good Day Happy B-Day to Ukraine!

1 Month !

Still, still...everything, everyone are in my heart in my head, memory. Probably my poem will tell more than me..i'm kinda sleepy... Sounds poem! :D

Dedicated to AUBG Americans teachers and AUBG campers 2012 
This feeling when you can't stop thinking 
About people who you love
This feeling when you miss people
This feeling when you miss emotions
This feeling when you need some dreamer
Who will say who you are
This feeling when you want to come back
This feeling when you just can’t forget
This feeling when you are looking at photos and smile
Because you can’t cry
This feeling when everything has changed
When you understood how do not be sad
This feeling when you want to return this time
But you can’t do it now
This feeling when you go to sleep remembering them
This feeling when you want again to speak with them
This feeling when they first paid attention on you
This feeling when you thought shame on you
This feeling when it wasn’t a fault
It was only begin of new world
This feeling when you want to continue
You just don’t want to say, it was the end
You want to remember it all time
You are thankful for that, you were smiled
You were yourself , you were happy
Why do we need that …to be apart
This feeling when you miss people
This feeling when you probably won’t meet again
This feeling when you can’t stop thinking
You remember them all, all time
This feeling when you try to continue
This feeling when you smiled every time
This feeling when it was unforgettable minutes
Every time, every smile, every look, every word
This feeling when it was crazy for you
This feeling when you suddenly started to do
This feeling which you’ll never forget
I want to say thank you for all of that
You will remember this time
You will remember them
People who changed that
People who you like, who you can’t forget
People who you are missing
People who you remember in a bad minutes
People whose smiles are in your heart
People whose words are in your brain
People who you don’t wanna forget
People who you will remember and being like them
You won’t be sad no, they won’t like it
Be yourself, changes it’s not bad
You dream about meeting again
You hope it will be, just don’t forget them
People who you will remember in your heart
People who you will share about
This feeling when it stopped
But you thought it will continue forever
We have to move , we have to go
This feeling when remained only one minute
You say goodbye you try don’t cry
You hided your tears but heart cried
You are remembering them still and will
This feeling when every minute
This feeling when every person
This feeling when every place
This feeling when every song
Make you remember them all
This feeling when after these minutes
There remained only photos with your emotions
This feeling when memories make you happy
This feeling when it was unforgettable minutes
This feeling when you want to come back
This feeling which you will remember forever in your head
Just thank you for that

However if you read it, i'm glad to know that. 
Btw. what ridiculous i've understood today is that ...there is some spy...you know i've just told a huge secret about my twin who acting now in Broadway and makes my dream come true...how suddenly i found a theatre! dude THEATRE who invited to play there.... i've just started to think seriously about it after a GREAT INSPIRATION in a camp, so here is that..i'll show them what the drama is :DDD But I have to call them and say that HEEY I"M OVER HERE take me to the THEATRE. 
Kinda figure out with my future like Uni and so on...it's too complicated to study abroad..but who said that i'm searching for easy ways? 
And just let you now...I really feel like the only one originally Ukrainian who acts like American...huh..
And some days ago I passed a test simple test..and it said that my way of communicating is kinda American..probably there was some influence on it..Hah..I  have no idea WHICH influence. 

Seems like conclusion of everything what happened and what made me happy and still making by remembering all these stuff in my head ...And just let u know...i'm gonna put it on my diary so i'll watch at it every day during my last year of school..huh...i'm gonna be still ME in school ...:D
And yeah it took me years to make that...

Surprise or what to do in the middle of August

You know, it's freaking cold here. It's like 14*C.  Do you think it's quite normal temperature in August, definitely not.  Everyone are wearing warm clothes, jackets which we usually put on in the late autumn but not in August, guys what's happened to world? All right saying bye bye summer, and bye bye all my new clothes from Bulgaria cuz. there is many of them for summer weather, like t-shirts and dress... ah..dress i have put on it only once, being in camp, when we gave a presentation of our classes, it was almost the last day :-\ , Yup, I wanted to be now somewhere like CA or so, wearing flip-flops and sunglasses, buy a cup of coffee in Starbucks and walk around the streets. Yeah, even if it's VERY hot, ugh...i need summer and sun, so i'm gonna taking sunbathes in my dreams :D Okay, as usual on holidays i'm gonna to bed in the morning then wake up after lunch or so, it's summer! Btw. i'm living like in American time cuz. when it's night here there is day, I even can easily count what time is in a state right now.

 All right I was sleeping as usual it was smth. like 2pm aaaaaaaaaannnnnnndddd, phone ringing wake me up...Who was that? -Teacher :) Yup, 'glad' to hear that, aannnd guess what, which one haha..english teacher oh yeaahhhh.... :D I'm kinda confused btw. i was sleepy, and she asked haven't I forgotten school and english? I have dreams about school almost every night, ugh " awesome". And i have practiced language for a month ( in a camp...awww camp ^.^...and at home with others Americans) so it's kinda impossible in my case. Okay, she wanted that I have gone to school the next day...in the morning!!! For what? You will know later. Awesome, really :D  I've thought, actually I hoped, she asked smn. also to come to her, I couldn't be the only one haha I can. I was the only only, I really like how I began my adaptation to school "almost". I put on my favorite American scarf, actually it was the right decision cuz. It was windy outside sooo...why not? And ugh...i had to tell her EVERYTHING we started with how i found this camp, like how i've sent e-mails to camp director,how i found another group in my country to travel with, how I alone opened visa and so onnnnnnn....

We talked, talked, talked, talked....actually she said that my character is shy and close and that evreyone are thinking that i'm pessimistic closely person ( it was seriously, not like you Americans like to say everything in a contrary :D) Ahhhhaaa...i'm pessimistic when i'm screaming, telling and smiling, LAUGHING like a psycho when i told about camp, cuz. i've received SO many emotions and memories that i'm gonna keep them by heart forever!!! Really, i was laughing, yup,  when i was younger..oh ..time time we gotta old so fast :D i was kinda shy, but who wasn't, the main idea who am i now! All right forget about it...i was so open and strange but ugh...why am i strange i only packed a unicorn to my luggage before going to US?, that she asked do  I in some sect, cuz. people usually have behavior like mine. Of course, I am...I'm in a sect with my unicorn and husband Ernest Hemingway...what did you thought about...butt tss.. do not tell smb. Q.q  So we talked and talked, talked and talked....in conclusion, guess what, the main reason was to help her to print some papers for school. No, it's not bad, but ugh..it's like volunteering for me, for her i dunno xDDDD

According to expectation I have to:
1. print some documents at first type them and then print 8 papers.
2. write a report about camp ( as a creative " closely pessimistic" person i'm trying to write it in a poem form
3. make a video, presentation about camp, that later future students could see who was I  :3
4.  find some new tasks for city competition of english language
5. take to her my diploma just she could see it ( there are American signatures and their names awww..^.^... :D)
6. take my works from creative writing that she could check it, and see my level...so serious ...level :D
and sooo oonnn.. with what i've already figured out.

Then I was full of emotions, haha ...i've called my friends and told them some news...i was screaming for all bus, no i'm just started to speak SO loudly  :3 haha..smn. turned around on me and  with pessimistic face said to "friend" how am yelling bla bla...sorry i forgot now i have to try say to myself slower, stop....i'm like a robot speak loudly...sorry :\ whatever i like it, btw. i was with American scarf haha...sooo...they understood ...me

In evening I've talked to my friend from a camp in skype awwww....I miss them , I MISS! And ugh...i still remembering every thing, and ridiculous situation which happened to us.... Then I called again to my teacher cuz. I promised to , and said, "I'm like  a communicative person found to you more volunteers to help, and i've figured out with time and so"..." Oh, now I see some changes in you" ...ugh...dtw. I LOVE my school and will miss it...but gonna talk about it later, now holidays, enjoy...cuz. i know i will be a real ZOMBIE during studying U.u

U know after talking for 2 hours in english with my friends, uhm...i was sitting in a room where were my parents, i was searching for smth. in laptop thinking about my stuff...how suddenly on TV started some music video. i dunno which one but it sang like jigalo and hahaha....gosh...i started to speak in English " Oh, we played it in a camp" .....STOP russian... God I started to speak english just like that, i've told my thoughts in english that i understood i need to speak another one that nobody here speak English... It's "normal" yeah...

 After-American-camp adaptation, situation №4578359745 ....

P.S finally gonna cook tomorrow guacamole ...small portion at first.
I'm feeling that someday i'll write a book about my life, nothing special has happened but i will tell it so long with details...haha..a real journalist :D
 See ya...

Day 6 (Last),dude

 You know I like my chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up...

     Yup, it's country dude, as  I mentioned I like this music, we sang it with others dudes..awww..it was so American, I found more lovers of this music..yyyaaayyy.

       Okay, I'll do it dude. I'm kinda lazy to write, cuz. I've got  tired, but I have to write about these American dudes. Huh, as usual I came too early, and had to wait for others.Then Americans came yaaayy...one American started to fry sausages on grill ...aaaaaa sausages made by American. oh WOW,, hahha,, i'm kidding. And we decided to play volleyball U.u ... I'm not really good at it but I hit ball not bad I did it!!! hehe...I just needed practice so we played it...I was feeling like I've returned to camp, we've played it on sand without shoes, with Americans awww,,:D  Now. i'm feeling more sure about volleyball. I'll hit it dude. At first we've played simple volleyball  and we've seen that it wasn't really good idea, cuz. we're not perfect players. So, we changed the rules, actually it was our game, but we had to explain it to American part. The idea is that you have to hit the ball and if you haven't catched it you sit into the circle.. actually even Americans know that , cuz. we've played it in a camp. Whatever I liked it, I didn't want to play volleyball cuz. I don't really like it, but later I started to love it.. haha..now I love volleyball ... how fast things changed,huh :D But i'm still baseball lover sooo...

    Then, ohhhhhhhh...you know what....i've tried, i've seen this American ball for football, not soccer, football ^.^... my dream came true, yyyaaayy... i've not  just seen that i even tried to catch and throw, ohh Ameriiicaaa.... I'm happy. Then we had smth, like supper with junk food., we've eaten chips, fried sausages, bread, mayo ( oh, i'm lover of mayo and ketchup, haha.. don't hit me... being in a camp we hadn't really good food , so i always put there some mayo and ketchup just to make it better, but after camp these stuff are reminding me about these moments  in a camp , so why not? ) and some others.

  We've talked with Americans dudes ( oh, yeah you've noticed i always use this word) made photos, and were happy. I was as usual shy...aha..as American said..that Americans always say opposite meaning.. soo yeah i'm a shy person. Didn't you know that, huh?  Why do not be happy as for me? I have no siblings, no pets, no crying babies even no trash...i'm happy and enjoy my life.

   Then we were sitting like Americans oh gosh, everything like American haha..whatever ...Oh, yeah I've learned new word... you gotcha ... gotcha dude, i've played football duuuudee... Oh my gosh xD
I enjoyed communicating with Americans so sooo much dudes.  I will miss them aww...:\ EVERYONE!With who I will be crazy? I need Americans to be crazy hehe.. i forgot i'm shy.

 And aaaaaaaaaaaaa...i've tried marshmallows aaaaa...we made it like American of course it wasn't like American,  cuz. ours are smaller and just another, btw. at least i've tried it!!!  I've fried marshmallow and then put it on cookie on which was a piece of chocolate then marshmallow and then another cookie Aaaaaaa...It's really AWESOME and so tasty, i haven't expected that, it's like not really sweety but tasty. Aww..amazing!
Why am I not American? I even can't do it like Russian speaker can, like this letter R but russian R and you have to say it long like rrrr... not like  uhr American nope like spanish some times rrrr soo..most of Americans can't do that but we can, hahaha..but I from my childhood couldn't do that never :DDD No, i was born in wrong place...hehe As Erica said I was born in Indiana and I'm her neighbour. Oh, what i wanted to say, yup. This week 2 American dreams came true yyaaayy...
I've added new dreams to my list. I've tried marshmallows like American, and i've tried REAL American football, not bad, huh?

1 week not a lot , but it was unforgettable, thank to ALL  dudes for this week... it was such a pleasure to speak to ALL of Americans, and staying myself, communicating in English, understanding them, singing, playing, everything, It was really cool..and I will repeat again I really love American mentality for their warm character, friendly and positive soul, with who you can speak and smile everytime. Just meet and hug to this person, smile and have a nice day and nice mood after that. I love it. Will meet again when I will a volunteer, sometimes I will happen...aaaannndd I'll make a BIG tour of US ... I'll begin with Indiana, then Michigan, my favorite Wisconsin, Alaska cuz. I was interested in this state long  before the camp, then California woohhooo CA... and I'm sure this tour will increase...
As I promised photos...
 Most of us, not all...

 This marshmallow thing with cookies n  chocolate ... first try!
(With Dale, krutoy  chuvak (cool dude) 

 Marshmallows ... no comments about marshmallows

AWESOME week!

Today, we last met in our building, but tomorrow we should meet on a beach. Where we will play volleyball( ahhh...I'm not good at it :\ I just need some practice to be better but whatever, it has to be fun), and probably, i'm not sure exactly we'll try to make marshmallows ( if we will, my dream ( small) will come true again) but i dunno about it nothing, we'll we do that or not, but i wish we will :D We'll make a camp fire and we'll see, cuz. i dunno even where it will be, actually i know but last time i was there i was smth. like 6 haha... so we'll see, i'll try to find the right way, in whole i understood where is that, but exactly, we'll see...

  We had a lot of fun today, we played some games.. oh yeah I forgot yesterday we've played a game which called Telephone i think you know what is that, you just to each other some sentence and in the end we'll see how it sounds :D It was funny yesterday the sentence was Cat likes to sit on a head ( I don't remember) and in the end we had smth. like what is plant or  no i don't remember cuz. we played it twice sooo.. :\

Btw.  today we played ahh..i dunno how it called but we've made some word and need to say to one person from opposite team and this player had to show that to his team, and they guessed.. It was sooooo funny, cuz. we had to show, zombie who played soccer,  wizard cooked pancake, cow rolled in dust, cowboy danced ballet and more more... I showed squirrel who drove the car :D

Before that we sat in the circle and then first person say I'm going to America. And i'm gonna pack that the next person repat all this and add her own word and so on. We have packed alligator,tooth brush n paste, mother-in-law :DD, money, camera, microphones, perfume, bear spray :D , i've packed Unicorn :DDDD

Excited about tomorrow, also we made some photos today, but tomorrow we'll make more, cuz. it will our last meeting :( So fast, why so fast ?  I will miss everyone, they are so funny crazy Americans :DD

Uhh...wait for tomorrow..

Day 4 ( New song)

 Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy, it happened!!! But we'll talk about it later ;)
 I had to go out from internet, so i had some time to prepare myself.. and in internet suddenly appeared new song, new Hurts song, which  I waited so loooong sooo loooong. AAaannnd my internet stopped work. Yeah, as usual :\

  Okay, today before everything started Americans, we were sitting on stairs. Aww..stairs, America :DDD I've greeted with everyone, hehe..today I've decided to wear American flag-scarf and American flag- t-shirt :D

Today, we taught Americans how to say some words in Russian xDD No, that was fine, they are Americans but said it really cool, Kruto ( cool) :D Then we talked with Americans, ahhh...I've seen some photos from vacation, then talked to other Americans.  So, tomorrow will be the last day but on the saturday we should go on the beach..hehe..but with Americans. I really like to talk to them..aww...

 Okay.......ta-daaamm.. NEW SONG  which makes me cry all the time... these words make you feel the song, you understand listening to it. Marvellous!!!
 The song name is Under the bridge, just try to listen to THESE words to feel them and to understand!! And smth. previous When I was in a camp, I've attended creative writing lessons, cuz. I love writing, and we usually listen to some calm music and write ...and once it was HURTS! It shocked me, cuz. I so missed them and love them. And their songs are really calm with sense, touchable, so..I felt it and started to write a poem.. and it was about girl who was stood on the bridge, she was alone, she was disappointed I've described every touch, feeling, that everyone could feel that and then she jumped from this bridge into the river, it was so cold like her heart, everywhere was silence, and river was lively, it worried like her heart, so after that she's part of another world not this one full of undevoted air. And NOW we can hear NEW song HURTS song, under the bridge of course it's completely another story but, it reminded me of my poem , and just camp, a coincidence again?

Day 3

 Why am I not American? My first question, WHY? More and more people agree that I'm kinda look like American girl ( not a lot of course) but I'm not typical.

  Okay, I decided to come to Americans than stayed at home for concert. I greeted with my new American-Korean friend. We talked a little bit. And today  we  discussed some extreme sports. Americans are crazy, they do all these thing, like climbing, skydiving, snowboarding, surfing and more, more dangerous stuff. After that we played a game, I have no idea how it called, but we have to write our names on paper then we picked the name of other people, then we had to say the name of some person, and if you guessed this person go to your place, actually, uhm, okay the main idea that we need ( 4 people, 2 female and 2 male sat) an we had to gather 4 people  ( and if it 4 girls or 4 boys then this gender will win). Ahhh..and girls WON! Yeah, dude we WON :)

 Then we discussed a lot of interesting stuff about sports and so on.  I just love listen to Americans as  I mentioned :D , I haven't any uncomfortable feeling, I just understand, it's hard to explain. I'm American :D And probably, awww, I have to tell about my vacations, you know what it will be? ..haha.. yaay..American camp in Bulgaria..I think Americans will like it, and it will interesting for others to listen my vision and all this stuff about camp :D No, i'm gonna tell probably a little bit, cuz. if  I will start my report, it's  gonna be for hours hours :D I need to think what to tell, and what to show :\  At the end I've talked to a lot Americans :DD As I said before I like their open mentality, even today it always will impress me in a good sense, cuz. when you are coming somewhere Americans will greet with you, with smile ah..that's what I really love !And you know, to Americans you just want to speak with, you want to know them, you want to smile to them and be open like them and positive. Why am I not American?

Okay, and yaaay..I haven't skipped perform of my favorite band, because fortunately or unfortunately suddenly, it stopped, so nobody have seen new song and just perform..ahh..what a pity, but i hope soon it will be on youtube and i'll see it. I dunno what to prepare for tomorrow's report :\

And I really want one day to prepare guacamole :D I need to go and buy some avocado :\

See ya tomorrow, Americans.

Day 2

  We  sat at first in main auditorium, waited for others Americans. They came and goosh, they soo Americans..uhm their style, clothes. It's a big contrast. You just can say exactly from a crowd, who is American. And when they came, atmosphere had changed, I started to smile, breath haha.. :) It's another feeling, another. This time we were sitting in a circle. I met Kelly and we talked some minutes before it began. I told, how all Americans like sit on floor or on grass ( I love it!) and told this story about man who made picture while me and my friend were sitting on  grass with country music. Haha...probably he thought that we're Americans :DDD

We told about our days, how we were doing, what did we do. I told that all day I was sleeping,yeah, than I watched American TV show on computer, and then came there. This guy asked me what's the name of TV show. - Kendra on top. And, yup, one man knew who is that, he explained she's playboy bunny and he said some facts about her or sooo, I was completely impressed.  I said that she also got married with Hank Baskett who was football player. And they even knew him, and in which team he played and so on.  Everyone remembered, I haven't expected that or no I'm just impress that people from America where Kendra lives and this show is. They are living there probably, this one impressed me,cuz. i'm watching it in internet, they on TV, and they know that.
 
Then we discussed what camping is. How Americans do that, and how we do. What's the difference and so on. A lot of information, you know, about everything, like tents, camping, camp fire, food, rent, bathrooms in forest! :DD  Then we sang American song, camp song. Haha..I'm not good in singing and yup, again different we Ukrainian were little shy, confused to sing, so we more murmured, but Americans they sang it loudly, They weren't shy like we. They always open.  How sang it,
the ants go marching one by one, hurrah,hurrah,
 the ants go marching one by one, hurrah,hurrah, 
the ants go marching one by one. 
the little one stops to suck his thumb,
 and they all go marching down around the town. 
BOOM BOOM BOOM
 I liked it, American song, I wanted to be American haha so here it is  :D  And  I wanna try Marshmallows, it has to be really tasty, Aww :(
I found it so you can listen


Then we discussed, listened, and new task. Guess what, which one? SKIT! Haha..,we had 4 people, 5 minutes to figure what to do, the topic was camping. :DD but it's SKIT!!! SKIT!! Aaaawwwww...again.. yaaayy. Aaandd ..haha..yup , I was in my atmosphere..ahhh.. I miss it. So, we discussed and somehow without training cuz. not much time, went on stage. I was a crying baby :DD  The main idea was 3 people family, mama, baby, and our cousin. I'm crying, touching everything, make trash :D Then we sat near the fire, yyaay i'm a baby I will eat :D Then bear appeared and our cousin fighted with him and he run away. Baby survived yayy.. :D We had only 5 minutes to make a skit :D

Okay. in the end we had some minutes to chat with Americans closely, huh, probably my favorite part of meeting :D This time after chatting with Kelly, I've got acquainted with another American, actually originally she's from Korea, WOW :D, but lives in US for 26 ? years. She has a family in US. And we were talking for a long time. Aww...she's very good. We discussed a lot of stuff, like education, America, and how i want to  live in WI, about future plans. I've told that I'm interesting in Asian culture cuz. it's completely another. And more more I just can say I like her, she is very interesting and smiley.So... excited to meet her again and continue to talk :)

Day 1

  As I said from 6-10 August will be an English speaking club, or so btw. there will be American volunteers.
Ah..new week, new Americans, new volunteers, new people. I'll spend with them almost 1 week, communicating with them and so on, actually I just  enjoy this absolutely another atmosphere that we have outside, it's completely different, it's positive i wanna say it again and really relaxing and of course American. Here we go :D

 This building is pretty far from my house, so I  had to go there with a public transport...goosh..I soo wean from our cars, transport, roads, people :\ As I passed road It was another, in Bulgaria I was like "oh, my gosh crazy drivers, they didn't stop, they just made their cars slower but as  you go away they just flew from your back". And I thought, and missed our roads but hmm..noo. I had to wait while car will go away they hadn't stop to let you pass, they just or whatever i'll go. Is that normal? I've just got used to Bulgarian crazy drivers, and that they go really fast but they stop, here nope it doesn't work :\ So, again it shows how people care about others, whatever.  I sat in bus, i thought i will die, it was sooo old, it hasn't repaired for a long time or just never ( i so wean from it tooo, so I just started see all this things around me and noticed that, what i haven't got used to do before) ,  driver was driving  soooooooooo fast, it's like an attraction American slides, bus jumped, stopped, it was so loud, you just can feel how it's shaking under your hands.

Somehow I got to this building. I came a little bit early ( again my habit) and waited for others. Yyyaaayy.. Americans came. There weren't so many people, but Americans came and came. I seemed like there will be more Americans than us xDD Btw. when I came into this auditorium, woman who gave me the advertisement ( remember?) yeah, and she asked Was I this girl who started speak to her in English ? Hahahah.. :DD I didn't expect  that it was smth. like WOW, but people remembered that . :D

I sat, waited and American sit near me. At first I asked her, Was she American. And yes she's American. Really, from first side you can say this is American. They always laughing, as i said positive, and joking. She sat near me, and we started  to talk( yeah, just right there, cuz. I a little bit know who Americans are, that you don't have to be scary to talk with them, be yourself, relax, smile and talk :)) Her name is Kelly ( if I wrote it right sorry i dunno)  I've asked about state and that all Americans here are from Indiana. I really like her, she is very good, smile and laughing, I love this kind of people, actually I love Americans, cuz. of their easy-going character. I'm gonna repeat it all time ! :D She asked how long had I learned English. I told her that I was in a camp where were Peace Corps volunteers and just had some practice with them and so. I started learn it at school. And suddenly she said that I speak English better than she speaks. Haha..I love Americans, i was pleasant to hear that but of course I'm not perfect hehe...:D   No really, it's strange just sit and smile to person and then talk with but feeling comfortable I like this feeling and way of communicating!

Allright then we've separated on two groups like Beginners and Advanced( I was here yaayy). There Americans introduced themselves and so on. They told us where they were. We've listened about Florida, California beaches, reaally a lot of interesting places that we need to visit. These seasides and the most popular places in these states. Then for 5 sec. we needed to tear off as many pieces of paper as we can. Americans are like 5 4 3 2 1 baaarrrrmmm I can't write it :D Then we had to introduce ourselves .
As usual I was honest to everyone ! My name is Diana, I'm 16 ( I even said my age!), I have no siblings, no pets, no crying babes yaay. I want to become a journalist. I like writing and cooking. In future want to become a volunteer. I have a husband his name is Ernest Hemingway, because yesterday I did a lot of work to write about him, so he must marry me. That me..I had to introduce myself, I had.

Okay, then Americans continued tell us about their adventures and vacations. And then Kelly said that originally she's from Michigan. GOD I KNEW it! Cuz. it's nearby WI  and kinda she looks like from WI not a lot but for sample guys from Indiana are another than she hehe i guessed it :DBecause people from WI are veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery positive all time and sweet. ( I say it because i've got acquainted with girl from WI and she reminds me Nichole from a camp. they both are so cute and so typical WI  you betcha it's WI dude :DDD) ( I haven't said it but I really want to visit this state really a lot, cuz. of gorgeous places, lakes, cheese :D and people) Okay, we listened, listened, talked..than break and we had a chance to speak closer with Americans :D.. I love them, easy-going, positive what else do we need?

When I was in a way to my home. I've thought that everyone are speaking English and I couldn't understand them or so..haha..it was strange feeling to come back to the reality. In bus again I've felt like a sardine in tin. And yes I'm at home I'm not in US, everyone were pessimistic, yelling if smn. suddenly pushed smn. ahh...This kind of atmosphere  when you are living here will be all time. Because of that I like Americans, they are another, and that what i need to exist, just smile is that so hard? I was so pleasant and happy when we went out and Americans ( I haven't spoken to them reaallly closely, actually they even probably haven't seen me, BUT they said Bye bye, We will wait for  you tomorrow. See you. Everyone just smiled and said it. Yup, it's simple stuff but for us, for me it makes me happy a LOT!)

Tomorrow I'll go again there and I think there will be other stuff, topics and so on. Excited! :D
I should come to WI one time :3






Hope to see it sometime on my own eyes!

2 weeks!

 Only imagine 2 weeks...2 weeks have flew away. I can't believe in that really. The reason I want to write this post is that 2 weeks AUBG camp has ended, but I, I'm at home for 2 weeks. For 2 weeks I haven't felt this atmosphere, for 2 weeks I haven't spoken with an awesome campers. For 2 weeks I'm like into after-camp depression...I still can't believe that only 2 weeks I haven't seen all. And now for 2 weeks campers this beautiful place also has ended... How strange is that? I, We still missing everyone still remembering all, but after-camp also ended, like our. I can't believe. For me  it's like 2-3 days. I don't want to write here how I want to come back just believe me I WANT!

For this date I want to write which motivations, dreams, thoughts, goals gave me this camp, what i've learned, and what i want to do, and for what i'm thankful to everyone and hap that i was here. Of course smth. of this list isn't such a big dream but it made me happy, I've tried it first time and this is only for 3 weeks, I haven't thought that i'll try it next 10 years but I had it only for 3 weeks. I wanted that to try cuz. here I couldn't try it never.

Okay, let's start  :
1. I was happy, I was myself! 
2. I've tried Mexican and American cuisine ( guacamole with corn chips, pancakes(with apples, banana and chocolate), brownies, banana bread, burrito and more...)  I haven't skipped any cooking in a camp haha...
3. I was in Starbucks! ( Yeah, we haven't anything like that in Ukraine, I wanted to visit  that really a lot cuz. I know that in US you can see Starbucks everywhere :D) 
4. I was climbing on mountain ( for 30-45 minutes under the sun ahh...but it was unforgettably)
5. I was in  Mall ( Yeah again America not like in US but still American :D) It was so big  that 2 hours weren't enough to me  I was only on the 1 floor and not in every shop! But there are 4 or more floors..huh ?
6.  I bought scarf, designed like American flag  I wanted that VERY much, and I bought it here! 
7. I bought a dress from H&M  very cheap but it's a brand but i bought it for cheap price.
8. I've celebrated Independence Day with Americans Like in America! ( I used to do it on my own, dreaming to celebrate like real American soo..) It was American! We ate BBQ, played American games  
( eating contests ( ahh..this watermelon is still in my stomach. :D) water balloons fighting, spiting  contest and so on) So, American with Americans drinking to cola and eating hot-dogs sitting on Grass!!! Isn't it a dream?
9. I was sitting on floor with Americans like American, slept on stairs and feeling normal.. haha..yeah i like sit on floor :D
10. I've tried baseball, not big, but at least i've first seen, tried this glove :D
11. I was in cinema where i've seen 3D movie ( Yup, probably it will sound strange but yes I haven't seen 3D movie with  glasses in cinema, here we  go to cinema rarely) 
12. I've tried nuts with Wasabi hmmm... :D
13. I've tried peanut butter ( Americaaa) I always saw that in Am. movies, and i've tried it! ( but sorry i didn't like that really a lot but i've tried and know what is that :D) 
14.  I was drinking  coffee in class, on lesson  ( If I did it here, teacher gonna yell at me :D) I was feeling free! We listened to music during work...it's much better than serious and scary atmosphere like on exam .
15.I've written my first article, finally i've tried myself like a journalist making interviews, writing an article.
16. I've written my own skit. I've tried myself in writing some skit and playing that ( not attending  drama classes  =\  ). I've felt how it's like, playing, writing, searching for actors, and just organize all THAT!  
 But it was amazing I love my actors they did it really,really good.
17. We've played American games, AMERICAN!Such as jigalo, ( or how is  it called?), twister, Frisbee and some others i dunno how they called :)

Walking with Himyuzhka

Himyuzhka- word that me and my friend call each other, this word was made by us which means chemistry and cute ( because we both love chemistry and cute smile from skype) so we decided to call each other like that.

All right, I dunno with what I need to start, but today happened a lot of funny things ...soo... After talking with my Russian friend Vika ( from camp) in skype...I've  downloaded Country!!! music to my phone. I have no idea what happened to me that I suddenly started to like this music, and I have to say, It's awesome. I understood which music I needed...and I'm feeling like American, listening to country music, feeling Texas
( maybe) atmosphere. I love it. You understand what are they singing about, and just you are enjoying this music. 

Aaaaannnnnnddd at 5:20 pm ( we just can't meet on time :D) Finally I met with my friend Nastya
( Himyuzhka). Oh, our hugs were really strong, I so missed her :((( We decided to go to the centre, we talked about my vacations and so on....and suddenly she said that i'm talking too loud :DDDD It's ridiculous because she isn't the first one who said it to me after camp!!! Yeah, I started to speak VERY loudly when I'm telling smth. on streets or just at home, Is it cause of American life ? :D  Btw. I'm always emotional when i'm speaking and if smth. happened I can scream ahahah...

We went to the park which calls Val...
here is  the photo  if you want to see it
 
... at first I didn't want to go so far, but she got me to do it, I agreed... I've just talked about English that I so miss it and I wish I could speak with positive Americans again ( they are like my relatives)... and suddenly one woman gave us an advertisment and invited us to English Speaking Club which will here with Volunteers from America... I've just made my face like this O.o ..( and as usual after camp when smb. talk about English or who knows this language) I started ask her in English about this club like what kind of volunteers will there ( like from which community because there are so many different volunteers started like Peace Corps and some volunteers from churches and I dunno there are a lot of them) so she also was shocked that I suddenly started to speak in English to her :D And so I'm waiting for it, and I can't wait ( on this advertisment there is  picture with American flag awww :((( ) 

I'm SOOO excited, It's ridiculous last summer I was sitting all day at home and didn't know anything about volunteers in my city. And now when i've returned from American life and when i'm especially need their community. I found one volunteers with who I've played baseball, and now again ! Hmmm..... But i'm thankful to Nastya that we went THIS way :D I'm soo sooo excited I'll see Americans again, I again need their community I'm not crazy, I've just realised and I'm not so shy to go somewhere in new place I want to speak and get acquainted with new people and It will be awesome to speak with Native speakers, cuz their English, accent another and we need This practice not like at school with our teachers. 

All right, it wasn't the only one  ridiculous thing which happened with us. We went to fast food restaurant Chicken hut, where we've eaten  some typical food, and coca- cola (coke)..oh, yeeaaahhhh...after camp coke always will remind me about camp, Independence day awww....  Then we were walking with cups with coke and himyuzhka said," Oh, I'm like in America. It's like in American  movie we are drinking cola and walking through streets" :DD Okay, than we bought ice-cream in cafe ( it was like in Blagoevgrad, we could buy ice-cream with any taste measuring in gram, of course here it was more expensive than in Bulgaria U.u ). We started to eat our ice-cream behind the table, then I watched to right and said, " Why don't we go to sit on grass?" of course Himyuzhka agreed and we like crazy went to grass.

 You know I haven't seen anyone who were sitting just on grass and eating an ice-cream, probably passers-by too :DDD It was so funny, but so comfortable and American, sitting in town on grass, eat an ice-cream, chat with your friend...and listen to music. Everyone looked at us :DD ( here the grass isn't so perfect like in Bulgaria, but we didn't care about it)  I switched on real Country music :DDD And we were listening to it , I was feeling like hippy :DD  

And we were sitting, chatting, how suddenly one man started to take pictures of us xD We were confused completely, oh what?? He was like paparazzi :DD ( It's like we're celebrities and he took pictures somewhere far from us, or we just were crazy so cuz.of that he did it :DD) Yeah, not everyday you can see smb. who is sitting on grass and is eating an ice-cream with American music :DDDD 

Okay, we were confused and couldn't turn around to this side, where the man was :DDD Then we went to another park, sat there on bench, actually we laid on it. We talked about school, and our favourite Chemistry teacher, we talked what to present her, cuz. it's our last year at school :(( ..After that. we decided to go to the shop and to buy there Diet coke :DD ( there is no calories like in simple :D ) And being in camp I've understood the difference between them, I mean difference in taste. No, I have to go to America sometime :D We drank it, laughed, made pictures,  phoned to our friend and somehow we said good bye to each other.
