I'm Thinking of Reading a Book 💁🏻‍♀️

It may come as a surprise but I tried vlogging! A few days ago I went with my best friend to the beach. It was my first time going to the beach for this year, so I thought that it was the perfect opportunity for me to actually try vlogging. And I did!

If you have read my previous post (in case you haven't, click here ), then you know that I am back to my home town. What was one of the first things that I did since I came back? You might have guessed it from the title but I visited the library. But why did such a simple and insignificant act lead me to write a whole blog post? Let me first clarify that I have visited libraries before and I have borrowed books a lot of times. So what makes this specific library so special is the fact that this was the first library that I had ever visited and became a member of. 

*this is not my house.. My finals ended, summer holidays have officially started and I returned to my home town.  Although I am really happy living on my own in a different city from the one I grew up, I felt a great nostalgia when I encountered the house in which I spend my childhood and teenage years. And I felt the most homey and the most reminiscent when I entered my room. My bedroom was the room that I always felt safe, as no one could see me and judge me for dancing around and singing. Most importantly, it was the first place that I could call my own, where I could do whatever I wanted and I could do whatever I wanted with it. 

I'm really sorry for not posting for so long but I was studying for my finals. But now that my exams ended, be ready for the posts that are coming up!  I thought that it would be better to start my posting spree on the recently added category in this blog, which is -as you have probably guessed- the books of the month. So, with no further due let's see what books I read the period I was gone. 

About two years ago I had my hair cut. The strange thing about that was the fact that I always wanted to have long, luscious hair. Nevertheless, as I tried to explain in this post , I felt that I needed  a change and I took the big decision. And I was really excited with the outcome. But that lasted only for a few weeks. After a while, my opinion about my hairstyle changed radically and I promised to myself to never cut my hair so short ever again. And I kept my promise until a few weeks ago. 

Well, teaching English is just awesome! For almost a month now I am helping my sister improve her English so that she can take and pass an English proficiency test and receive a certificate, which is very useful for her job-wise. Since I am studying English Language and Literature and since I have attended courses concerning effective teaching and since at the next semester I will be sent to observe an English class and then do the teaching myself, I decided to take advantage of this opportunity and gain a bit of teaching experience.

This is going to be a new section on my blog, in which I am going to list the books I read the previous month. Because I am a postgraduate student in English Language and Literature I have a lot of reading to do. But this is always a good thing! However, not all of the books mentioned are read by me because I had to for my courses. On the contrary, I read most of them because I love literature. And I hope that you will love it too or you will love it more by reading the following books.

First of all, Happy Birthday to me 💁 Second of all, this is my second try writing this post. Yesterday afternoon I wrote a post as a draft saying how I am a year older now, and one thing that shows how mature I am becoming as the years go by is the fact that I am trying to think of the feelings of the people around me and not just myself. Well, by yesterday evening I managed to hurt a person I really care about.

Happy New Year 😄 I am going to start this year's publishing with a kind of sad and serious post but I hope that it will actually help both me and you with our 2018 resolutions. It is something that happened to me in 2017 but I think that I will remember it forever. 

I guess that everyone has been put at the awkward situation, in which he or she -usually while in school- has to stand at the front or at the center of a room and start talking about something. This is exactly what a great friend of mine and I had to do on previous Wednesday. We worked really hard on the project we were assigned and then it was our time to actually present our work to our fellow students and to our professor.
