Spring arrives
Po dlhom čase sme konečne mali prázdniny. Moji hostrodičia mi pripravili celkom zaujímavý program. Najskôr sme išli do Ashlandu, mestečko známe divadlom a Shakespeare-ovským festivalom. Divadlo každoročne ponúka množstvo hier od Shakespeara. My sme videli predstavenie Shakespeare in Love, vtipnú komédiu o Shakespearovom živote. Nasledujúci deň sme sa zúčastnili na prehliadke zákulisia. Bolo to naozaj zaujímavé. Ako som sa dozvedela toto divadlo, respektíve divadelný komplex skladajúci sa z 3 divadiel, je najlepším divadlom v Oregone. Našou ďaľšou destináciou bol Bend. Cestou sme sa zastavili pri Crater lake. Je to jazero v kaldere sopky. Údajne jedno z najkrajších miest v Oregone. My sme však šťastie nemali, keďže celé jazero bolo zahalené v hmle. V Bend sme navštívili Smith Rock, oranžové skaly. Mne sa tam veľmi páčilo, možno aj preto, lebo sa konečne oteplilo a na oblohe nebolo ani obláčika. Prázdniny sme zakončili mojím frisbee turnajom, tiež v Bend. Celkom sa nám darilo. Umiestnili sme sa na druhom mieste, síce len zo štyroch...

After a long time,
we finally had a break at school. With my host parents, we made a small
tour around Oregon. First we went to Ashland to see a play Shakespeare in
Love. Ashland is a small town famous for its theatre. We also did a backstage
tour which was really interesting. The theatre consists actually of 3 theatres;
one of them is outside. Our next destination was Bend. On the way there, we
stopped at Crater Lake. It was supposed to be the highlight of our trip, one of
the prettiest places in Oregon. However when we got there, the whole lake was
covered with fog. In Bend we went to Smith Rock; this was my favorite part of
this trip. I also met my Exchange student friends, Alicia from Spain, and
Frong from Thailand. My spring break ended with my frisbee tournament also in
Bend. For the first time the weather during a tournament was very nice. I even
got a funny sun tan.
20-24.3.2017 Finals week
Celkom to teda beží. Skončil
sa druhý trimester, už mi len jeden ostáva. Ako je mojím zvykom, dostala som
samé Áčka, hurááá, a ani si to nevyžadovalo študovať na testy. Jediný
normálny test sme mali na španielčine. Na hodine literatúry a počítačov
sme mali záverečnú prezentáciu. Na literatúru si každý pripravil prezentáciu
o komikse. Najskôr sme sa učili teóriu a potom sme to mali aplikovať
na knihu podľa vlastného výberu a v podstate sme mohli rozprávať
o hocičom. Ja som vždy z prezentácii nervózna, a preto som so
sebou nebola spokojná, no pani učiteľka ma aj napriek tomu pochválila. Na
počítačoch som len odprezentovala svoju prácu za celý trimester. Konkrétnejšie,
ukázala som moje vlastné web-stránky, keďže som študovala web dizajn. Na hodine
Americkej histórie sme namiesto záverečného testu mali aktivitu o zhodení bômb
na Hirošimu a Nagasaki. Na poslednej hodine, International Foods, sme
museli čistiť a robiť inventúru kuchýň. Keďže ja neznášam upratovanie,
chopila som sa zoznamu kuchynského náradia a iba som zapisovala.
Time is running fast. The second trimester ended, only one to go. As usual I
got all A’s. It didn’t even require any effort to study for the finals. My
finals were very easy. I had basically the only test in Spanish. In Literature
and in Computers we just did presentations. In Literature we learned about
comics. The task was to talk about our comics, what we read and how the comics
compare to what we have learned. Even though I wasn’t satisfied with my presentation,
the teacher said I did a great job. The presentation in my Computer class was
very easy. I just showed the whole class what I did throughout the trimester.
To be more accurate, I showed websites that I created using various tools. In
US History, the final was a discussion about dropping the bomb on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. In International Foods, we had to clean and make an inventory. I
grabbed the list for inventory and was checking everything, since I hate
cleaning.
