On 10.03 we went to the local theatre, where
actors from Sofia were visiting with a performance of “The three musketeers”.
One of the actors was Kalin Vrachanski, who is currently very popular in
Bulgaria, because he participates in very modern TV show called “Glass house”.
The performance itself was great – very amusing and entertaining since the
actors played their roles wonderfully and they managed to stay in character
even in the funniest scenes, when everyone in the theatre was laughing. I was
glad to visit a theatre play because I really needed something to take my mind
off some personal problems I have. I felt refreshed and relaxed after the play
and I can’t wait fgor the next time I will visit the theatre.

Training at the municipality – 09.03
On 09.03 we gathered in the municipality with
representatives of other school in VelikoTarnovo in order to be instructed for
our engagement with the organization of Veliko Tarnovo’s holiday. We had two
tasks for the holiday – the first one was to give away stickers with positive
wishes to random people on the street in order to cheer them up and help them
feel more optimistic about life. Our second task was to help in the lighting of
more than 200 paper lanterns which are a traditionally set off from our city
greatest landmark – the castle of Tsarevets. The training of the municipality
was long and throughout and I felt a little sleepy in the end of it but I
managed to gain vital information which I needed in order to communicate
effectively with people. The person who trained us was the head of the PR
department of the municipality and he was very kind with us and gave us a very
detailed demonstration of everything we had to do. I felt fully prepared and
ready for the event and again I had the opportunity to meet new and interesting
young people from other schools that shared the same understanding of the
world. I was truly amazing!

Bulgaria’s national holiday – 03.03
Today was Bulgaria’s national holiday and it was honour for me to participate in the official honouring of the victims that have lost their lives in the liberating wars against the Ottoman Empire. Our whole school gathered and bought flowers for the occasion and in 9 o’clock we were in front of a memorial of the victims where we laid our flowers. After doing this there was a special service in the near church. The mayor of the city and the Bulgarian prime minister were present at the event and showed their respect for the victims too. I felt very patriotic, which is rare for me, but actually this time I was really excited and I actually cried when we all listened to the national anthem and watched the Bulgarian flag being raised on the pole.

1st of March (Giving Martenitsi) – 01.03
On this holiday we spent our whole morning before classes on the front door of the school, waiting for every single student and teacher to give them a mertenistsa for health, luck and personal prosperity. Everyone loved the surprise and I saw that we actually cheered up a couple of grumpy students. I was glad that everyone was happy and well-disposed on the holiday and thought to myself that I couldn’t wait until I will get home and give my own family martenisti.
