I’m turning 16 on 11th April (in a couple of hours as I write this 
) and I celebrated my birthday on Thursday, with another 2 friends, Make and Tami, whose birthdays are on 10th and 7th April 
We organized the party in a pub, and we invited our closest friends. It was a great party and… the photos speak up!
I was listening to Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish you were here’, and as I didn’t have any better idea of a title for this post, I chose these lyrics So as to make a brief list of the events that have happened lately, or are actually due to happen, I’m starting with Rebecca’s sixteen birthday, which was on Friday. She invited us to a pub somewhere near our high school, and it was literally what’s called a Girls’ Night Out. We just stayed at our table, ate pizza, ordered drinks (future alcoholics 
), and gossiped It made me easily realize that you don’t need to be like ‘OMG! I can’t handle so much fun!’ to feel purely good You only have to be surrounded by people you can’t fail having a good time with. Am I right?
Moving further on the list of news, the French students I told you about in the last blog are coming on 24th February, which is only one and a half week away. We had to fill in some forms during the weekend, regarding our basic information, what we like, our personality, etc. We bring the forms back to our teacher tomorrow, and we’ll also choose our ‘correspondant français’. Haha, it sounds like we’d pick a product from the shelf at the supermarket 
I don’t mean to be…mean ^^ but this is everybody’s attitude. Some friends have even come up with elaborate plans on how to terrorize the poor French students, wake them up at 6 o’clock in the morning with a horn, or settle them in dog’s cage. But they were just kidding, don’t worry for the French fellows, they’ll be okay 
I’m sure we’ll have a great time together, both here and in Cholet I’m really looking forward to their arrival ^^
Well, that’s it! I’m going back to practice guitar ^^
Oh, I was about to forgot: Happy Valentine’s Day to those who…well…celebrate it
As I had promised you in one of my latest blogs, I am now making a review of everything that has happened in my life during that period specified in the title. But firstly, I reckon I should tell you that I’m having and extended week-end (actually a doubled one ) because on 1st of December is the National Day of Romania, and as every year, we’ve been given a day off + because is it on a Tuesday, the Monday before it, on 5th, has also been transformed into a day off How lucky! ^^ Uhh, today I had the English Olympiad, and I really don’t have any predictions about the result. It’s been the first time ever when I had a subject involving a piece of writing (in this case it has been an informal letter, but in the next stage it should be a narration). So far all English Olympiads I’ve been to only had the grammar subjects. So I can’t really say how I did, because even though I might have done well the grammar subjects, I don’t have any idea about the letter part. But anyway, I’ll find out tomorrow
So here are the main events:
Freshmen Prom-22 October
Every high school organises each year a Prom for the students in the freshman year (9th grade). Although all the other students have access, only freshman can participate in the Miss&Mister contest that is organised. This year, both winners (miss and mister) were from my class, and also girls’ 2nd place and boys’ 3rd place were my classmates We really have a beautiful class, don’t we? 
There’s been a lot of rumour around the winner of the Miss title, which I found soooo unfair. But you know, when people lose, they tend to find reasons why they didn’t win, and how unfortunate the circumstances were for them 
I think that everyone should accept defeat, and shouldn’t say that the opponent won by unfair ways. But anyway, this is not the point. Overall, the party was pretty interesting, except for the super crowded space. We left before the prom had finished, and went somewhere else, where we really had a…hectic time 
Although I had had a few shots before, I wasn’t the one who completely caught the spotlight. Someone became very ‘kissable’ that night Uh…whatever. It doesn’t matter anymore. Fortunately our high school’s Prom hasn’t been postponed because of the swine flu, like others have. Here are some photos:

Halloween Party-28 October
This was really great! A lot greater than the Freshman Prom, where, honestly, I kinda got bored. I was great not only because of the costumes, but the atmosphere itself. There was a costume contest, but unfortunately I didn’t take part in. And also the people that were there were more of my style: in the end of the party a boy played the guitar, and played ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Good Riddance’ which really made me feel in love with him…haah..but only for that night 
I forgot to tell you about what I dressed in, didn’t I? Well, I dressed like Lady Gaga, and in my opinion, the costume turned out really nice I guess I kinda resembled her And no, I didn’t dress like her because I like her, but to emphasize the fact that she’s always dressed as if she celebrated Halloween >:) I’m really mean, aren’t I? 
Actually most of the costumes were quite original and imaginative. In order to name some, I should specify: Cruella de Vil, Marilyn Manson, The Joker, Mr. and Ms. Smith, The Phantom of the Opera, Hamlet, Captain Jack Sparrow, The Mad Escaped, Michael Jackson (RIP! 
), and many many others. The winner was nothing really extraordinary, though: The Death Bride. Such a damn common idea…duh! But anyway, the 2nd place was well deserved: Michael Jackson. What a pity nobody recorded that boy while dancing, cause Dorian really dances like Michael!

Trip to Sibiu-31st Oct to 1st Nov
It’s been surprising how rapidly we managed to organise this trip. Sibiu is a city in the heart of the Carpatian Mountains, which has been the European Capital of Culture for a year, during 2007, and is a fairly nice city, my favourite Romanian city I can say, because you don’t even feel like in Romania there But the main reason we organised this trip wasn’t visiting, but having fun. Actually fun transformed into drinks&drugs, which would have spelled ‘d i s a s t e r’ if our teacher hadn’t been so…so…absent o.0 At 2 o’clock in the night she finally opened her room door to tell us in a sleepy voice to make a bit less noise. Imagine how ‘effective’ that was, when everybody on that floor was drunk, and all those on the upper floor was high on drugs 0.o But it doesn’t matter, as long as she told another class that we were so obedient Loool! If that means obedient, I don’t want to know what disobedient means No really, I don’t. Except for having to take care of all my drunk and high friends, we also did a lot of shopping Visiting/sight seeing was on the third place

Bonus!Adventurous Truancy-20 Nov
Yes, this is a so-called bonus story, as it doesn’t fit in the period listed in the title, but it’s an interesting and breath-taking story 
So let me start with the beginning. On 20 November we were supposed to have your English term paper (whose results will be hopefully brought back to us after Christmas, in order to keep the consistency of the X-mas present at a high level ). We though that after the term paper would have finished, we might sneak out from the school in a subtle way. But, as always, our plan was baffled by some persons who would rather betray than skip classes. While we were trying to sneak out, some refused to leave the classroom, and while another group was desperately trying to persuade them to get their bags and leave, the Logic teacher (which is quite a paranoid when it comes to skipping her classes) arrived. Meanwhile, the other half of the class (including me), was in the school yard trying to figure out a method to sneak out, as the porter wouldn’t let 15 students leave the high school by the main entrance. The fence used to have a hole last year, but now it was covered back. So the only way out was OVER the high fence. At first I was a bit concerned about the height of the jump, but then I decided to commit. While I was standing in line and waiting for my time to jump over, a man passed by on the street. Laura was on the top of the fence when that man asked what we were doing there. He turned out to be from the police department We (those still in the school yard) ran as fast as possible and hide among some 10th grade students who where having the P.E. class. While we were staying there, we saw that man leading the girl he caught along the street, either to the police station or back into the school. At that moment, we frightened, literally The next hour, we returned into the school, and found out that the police men had taken our mate to the principal’s office, had made her to write the names of all those who were trying to sneak out with her. Luckily enough, the girl had forgotten that I was there too, so my name wasn’t on the list. The next class, the policeman came to our classroom together with our form teacher, and lectured us about how we should not skip classes again.
Another headline would be the swine flu, due to which some high schools have been closed. Unfortunately, mine hasn’t I say ‘unfortunately’ because a week off school would have been really welcomed
Ramona’s birthday party was just great! We had so much fun…in such weird ways It’ll start with the beginning. In my last blog I was telling you that we didn’t have any idea of a present for her. Eventually we bought her an audio system with 5 speakers and a subwoofer and a book, after we had a lot of other, rather stupid, ideas It’s like a tradition of us, that everyone must go through a series of challenges until he/she gets his/her birthday present. As we knew Ramona wanted so much an iPod (actually she’s going to buy it today ) we made a fake cardboard iPod, put it a box, surrounded by shreds of paper, and attended by some pieces of paper with messages on them. The last piece of paper, which was glued to the bottom of the box, said that she has to tell a little poem to receive the real present. After a long struggle, while Ramona’s little sister showed everyone that she knows way more poems than all of us, Ramona received her real present (well making it work proved to be a tough job for the boys, but finally they made it! ). A bit of dance, then we spent most of the time playing Truth or Dare. Actually it should be called just Dare And no, not that classic style with “I dare you to drink 129746 glasses of water” or “I dare you to do some push-ups”, we played the.. naughty style *insert ‘I kissed a girl’ tune here* Oh no! I didn’t! I mean…it wasn’t a girl But it happened, in both versions 0.o
