When few months ago I thought about giving III High School in Gdansk a shot, it seemed too late to get my notes good enough. Still, I decided to try and spent last significant time in my present school on learning. Unfortunately, on Thursday my name didn’t show up at list of people admissed to pre-IB class. Only few points were missing, though. Now it’s probably first time in my life when I actually regret not spending enough time on learning.
Fortunately, at least my name’s printed on a list of people admissed to I High School in Starogard Gdanski. That’s something. And actually something I should be seriously happy about, since that’s the best school in this city and it’s somehow hard to get into. Aww, I love my insanely high expectations about everything.
For, as I hope, only next year I’m gonna be attending a class with extended history and knowledge of society – seemed like the best option.
So, why one year? In 2010, I’ll try to pass the exams to IB class itself (since pre-IB is a one-year class that prepares people for IB) – it’s gonna be hard, but right now I’m at the moment of willingness to learn English (and possibly gain FCE). Hopefully this urge won’t pass and I’m not gonna piss on it after holidays.
Anyway, now I have finally got holidays. Probably I’m not gonna do even one thing slightly relevant to anything (so far I am watching House and playing some games) important, but that’s what those 2 months are supposed to be about, right?
Only thing I’m waiting for right now is a camp I’m going to on next Sunday – Duszniki Zdroj, here I come!

Possibly right on the matter of days I’m about to find out a lot of things about my future – I just made first choice that actually matters and will have significant influence on my future. High School.
Place, where I’m about to spend next 3 years, meet new – hopefully great people, discover new experiences, learn something. Finally something I can call a final step before being an adult – because according to the law, after high school, I can do whatever I fuckin’ want without asking parents. YES.

2008 was a good year. Lot of web experience gained, not worse results at school, and private life also very well. But probably the best part of it was a competition called DialNet Masters. Organised by Polish communications company – Dialog. It was the best way to win worth pretty much hardware (in our case, iPod Nano and few gadgets, unluckily we didn’t manage to win notebooks) and visit USA (also, we didn’t make it). In this edition, the main prize is trip to China. WE NEED TO WIN THIS.
Competition is for 4 people groups, and it’s basically about knowledge of Internet. One of the coolest topic possible, and one of the best ways to monetize your skills. First 2 stages are written on-line, on well working browser-based platforms. First one went just perfect – 29 points for 30 possible (1st place in the country, yay!), awesome organisation of looking for informations, and, I have to admit – questions were easy. This morning came the time for the 2nd stage. And that’d be enough, if I just write, that it was freaking hardcore. Open questions, ’select few answers’ ones, and just a few usual, simple with 4 possible answers and just one correct. The level was also unbelievably high, no doubt that organisators did something wrong. Finally, the result – 17 points, for 30 possible. Crap.
Hopefully, we still can manage to get to 3rd stage, although only 8 teams from the district are allowed. So far, feedback in internet sounds good – everyone wrote so bad. Waiting ’til Friday!
