Al(oh)a!
Oh, because the school has started again and actually I've not been willing enough to accept that apparent detail. The holiday daily system must be changed and the revolution, especially at the first week, isn't so pleasant.
Still, if you ask me I'm very glad. I can't complain and I won't because this griping is for me one of the most irritating and nonsense things in this world.
However, eating breakfast 1 hour, coffee timing 1 another and writing half the day to have sometimes yoga breaks says sad goodbye to me and I patiently answer. It will be exciting time as well, right? Full of good people, new discoveries and endless attempts in life organisation to achieve the satisfaction when falling asleep in the bed. Yes. Zero percent irony in these words, promise.
The irony, however, appears somewhere else. I could write quite a story about the inadequacies of the education system, but, well I'm having other topics in my mind in the literature area.
Here I would like to touch the fragment, the set books, which list everyone gets at the beginning of the new year and usually is obliged to read.
In this post, I want to truly encourage you to do it, but your own way. As, maybe you haven't noticed (as I haven't one or two years ago) these set books are mainly literature classics, they say must-reads of all the time. I know in every school and country the list is different but one connects them all - somehow they make most of the students (from my personal observations of course) much discouraged.
...?
1. Young people usually don't like to be said that they must do something.
2. There are some (speaking about my system work) tests which check the knowledge of the details, generally not significant for the whole content.
3. That results in the, let's call it analysis of the it-can-be-on-my-test things more than a reading. The order definitely should be changed over!
4. The time which is given for reading makes the students feel under the pressure. They get more nervous > they decided to quit > they look for the easier way on the Net > they don't read eventually.
Sounds familiar, huh?
I love good books, I really do and writing, especially throughout the different culture ages is simply fascinating!
If we look at these readings as the ones we've chosen to read by ourselves, just for broadening our minds, just for the pleasure, with the company of tea and warm blanket we can truly get real image of these works.
It may sound banal, but now, when I've got almost 19 set books to read this year, I believe this kind of attitude can rescue me. No one should ever tell me how (unless I ask) I'm supposed to read the words.
They're the message sent for the thousands, but the language of imaginative mind everyone of us has, is different.
Don't let yourself stuck in this ironic obligatory position which is actually in your own hands.
P.S. Shall I write more school reflections? Maybe I've learned too much today? Or I've immersed into the set books so deep that I try to create theories about idealistic reader?
Gosh, goodnight, it's been such a long and fascinating Monday.

Hello everyone! :)
Uh, how much is happening right now! Fortunately I've managed to go through organisation things. I'm so happy I figured out Healthy Teenager Project (see on the right) finally.
There was some mess with it, but officially I announce it works (progress! progress!) as the Instagram account:
(@healthyteenager_project)
Okay, let's say this auto-promotion has been done, now let's start the real post.
Finally next part of summary Book Challenge. Reading books take more time than watching movies, for example, especially when most of them are pretty thick.
Today "The Land Of Stories" and "British History Seen Through Art". Non-typical combination, hm? Welcome.

Hello everyone!
First of all I'd love to say big THANK YOU for being here! :)
My number of visits has been increasing like never recently and it makes me very happy and proud!
Also I feel more obligated with my blog now - if somebody reads it, I need to spend more time on it. So as you probably noticed I enriched the apperance of my blog, hope you like it.
- Now you can find link to My Pinterest so that maybe find out more about me.
- There is also "Movie trailers" at the bottom of the site. If you want to know which movie it comes from just click the little sign "connection" next to "widening the screen" bottom. I wish you fruitful movies searching! These ones found by chance always were interesting for me!

About one I'm going to write today. That one is really important for me. There is also a book, which came after the movie - it has been originaly as a script. So 2 in 1 - book and the movie, which form whole.
Both worth your time. Both worth exploring. Both worth reflecting.
Here we go!
Hello everyone! :)
I'm very glad that lately some hard things went away and finally I have got more time for myself. For my personal development - books, movies, healthy lifestyle generally too. I came to the conclusion that kind of development is much more better, so goodbye school life, I'm not going to take you seriously in following months.
As I noticed I have got more time. I finally pushed Book and Movie Challenges which've been staying very empty sticked on my shelf. That's why I'm writing. I thought "Why not share with you my reviews from these challenges, maybe you will find more useful than spontaneously written reflections about midnight about life and so on (don't worry, I won't cut them anyhow).
(important truth from "Will Grayson, Will Grayson")

Hey You, if you're here anyway.
I've just watched next movie which brought me some new reflections about that whole thing, called life. If you don't see point in considering about it (YET, baby, YET, it will come someday anyway), leave this post.

(Finally I managed with the time changing, so the right time of publishing in my time zone is this below the post ;) )
Hey guys, I've just came home from the cinema where I could visit the Middle Earth again.
"The Hobbit - The Battle of The Five Armies" was no doubt the movie I was waiting whole year.
Now I'd like to write something about this, I'm trying not to spoil anything, just express my general emotions and opinions. If you have yours, please write below the post, I'd love to read and maybe discuss about them.

After watching movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" directed by David Fincher, whose movies I'm discovering and like still more!
I wanted to write you about this movie, of course for those of you haven't watched it - you really should. The movies lasts quite long (Fincher's style) because more than 2,5 hours. However, if you want to be a witness of an really unusal'n'ambitious story full of suprises, wisdom and even humour, find that 2h 46min.
I know it's not late but I'm going to watch Glee in few minutes time so I'm posting earlier.
I have to say, that Christmas holiday is the best time in my year apart from summer holidays. I always reload and catch new good energy and lots of new ideas. I don't know it's effect of cinnamon cookies or Christmas fantastic songs but I always have a good time. And at this time I usually read a lot and take books which were waiting on my shelf for their special minute (in fact long hours).
One of them is "The Screenwriter Within" 2nd edition by D.B. Gilles which I bought that summer in Oxford (about this amazing city will be more and more, promise) in BlackWell's store (VISIT IT!!!!).
