12th December

Since I updated my blog many things has happened..

Firstly, I'm still reading Benjamin Franklin's biography.

Secondly, yesterday I had an amazing day out, I went to Freeport Designer Village in Braintree, Essex and then we went to Sudbury in Suffolk, I have to say its very pink down there. Lots and lots of pink houses, but it was really lovely, I think they have amazing antique shops, and narrow streets(most of them one way only). The weather treated us nicely, although down in Sudbury it was pretty cold and you still could find bits of snow, it must be because it is situated in a valley, but as I said it was great!

Thirdly, last week I felt like getting back to school. Adam has this homework about ordering fractions, I would say that's the easiest thing in Mathematics, but an 11-year-old would say it was I unnecessary waste of time as he would never use it outside the classroom. He had a point, I know that, but studying isn't always about finding ways where to use it in daily life, it is more about understanding and possessing a quick-thinking, which would help to resolve complicated situations. It was a nice experience, I did make Adam enjoy ordering fractions, he actually spend 3 other evenings in my room playing fraction games online. FUN times :)

On Friday I am going back home for 2 weeks, looking froward it. I will meet some friends, and definitely will go to German market, I feel like I am missing out, I can't wait at all!

Benjamin Franklin & au pair updates

Well, well, well! Its officially last month of 2010, last year has gone way too quickly. Have I done everything I had to? Have I had a good year? Have done everything to make myself happy? Answer to these questions is YES, I have met some incredible people, who have changed me and my life, I have gained some really good experience, I have been in love TWICE, and year is not over yet. :) My new years resolution is coming soon!!!

Few days ago I started to read Benjamin Franklin's biography, he is my hero right now. It is just astonishing how much impact to world can have one person, I am sure he has inspired thousands of people, and this is my number one book right now, he had this courage people are missing these days, he would go and change his own life if he wasn't happy with it, he was one of the most respectable people back then, he made a huge difference for America, he is one of those people we still talk about in history lessons! Astonishing!!!!

This makes me think of how big impact each of us have on world, ENOURMOUS??? I am sure that everyone of us can be Ben Franklin, we all have our chance to speak up, to change our life if we aren't happy with it, we can go and change things, we can do those big things for ourselves and those small ones for others, or other way round. Everyone can do that!

Right that was about Benjamin Franklin.

Au Pair Life!

I am really loving it, I have been here for 2 and a half weeks and I still haven't had any regret feelings, I feel like home and well yeah it is my home for a while now. Last weekend was amazing we went to this Dinton Pasture's Park, then to Wargrave, and then to Henley-on-Thames, really good Sunday, although it was so cold outside ''-1'', and it isn't snowing here yet, which is great. Next weekend we are going to Sudbury, in Suffolk!! Will be great, I am sure about it!
