Idle days

I haven' posted for quite a while and it's not that I've been terribly busy. It's just that I couldn't collect my flow of thoughts into a consistent text. I moved back to Bucharest, and as I was trying to get back into the rhythm of college life, I lost track of the days which have past since my last post. I lost track of some of some of my older preoccupations too. Things that one day seemed clear, got blurry the next day. The lifecarouselle didn't stop spinning, but it seemed that nothing could get trapped in it. Instead, everything flew by and now a new clear horizon seems to appear in front of my eyes.
One thing that didn't flew by was my decision to get involved into a ONG, a students' organization more precisely. So following my desire of getting involved into a project outside faculty and hopefully gain some more practical experience, I went to some interviews and I am now waiting for the answer. I did get involved in some extracurricular activities last year, like conferences and workshops and they proved to be very useful for my personal and professional development. Which is why I decided that this year I should get involved more. Another important thing was my old wish to learn French from zero, since the two foreign languages I know are English and German. I guess my admiration for French music, movies and figure skaters, plus my Romanian - Canadian little cousin enhanced this ambition of mine and I am now happily attending French courses at the French Institute in Bucharest.
Apart from those things, my other activities were not as coherent. There are moments when you feel tired after past struggles and when you just want to rest, repair old defections and and enjoy the idle days of a clear horizon, before new dreams rise in front of you and claim for fulfillment.
