it's almost over

I can't believe it! I look at the calendar and wonder where did all those months go?! Then again I can recall dozens of things in each month from january till now. So many things happened, so many bright memories! But the time went by so fast.
On Thuesday was my final exam. A good end for my studies in Lyngby Business Academy. Although they'll tell us the result at the end of the month I'm pretty sure I passed it and I can go back to Bulgaria with clear consciousness :) And yet it is an end. I got used to the subjects, to the teachers, to the way ot teaching. Now I have to switch fast to the Bulgarian reality for september when I'll have my exams in the University of National and World Economy, all 5 of them.
Another end - I finish work tomorrow. After 3 months I somehow got used to this shitty job. Not that I'll miss it, but maybe I'll miss a little the funny guys I work with. I definitely won't miss the early getting up, but something tells me I won't be enjoying lazy sleeping till noon in the bed for long - I should start an internship soon. Bah, anyway, sleeping is overrated :D
And the last end - in only a week I'll have to say goodbye to Lygby, to Denmark, to my friends here. It's such an odd feeling to see off your colleagues, your friends, knowing that you're next and it will be someone else to see you off until the colegium is empty. You know that maybe you'll never see those people you spent 5 months with, but you still promise you'll go and visit them. Will somebody visit me? Maybe yes, maybe no, who knows? Will I visit some of them - hmm not soon I guess.
So one more quick glance back, a glance at the past. And the time is over. No more looking back. I still have 1 more week and I'm gonna make the best of it. So that after 1 week I'll pack up my thoughts, my memories, my impressions from Denmark and happily make the next step into my bright future in Bulgaria. Can't wait for it :)

What a match

Yesterday with some friends we went to see the Euro qualification between Denmark and Sweden. We didn't have tickets but luckily there was a big screen next to the stadium that attracted a lot of football fans :) The atmosphere was great - thousands of people (both Danish and Swedish) cheering for their team, lots of beer and everything nice football can offer :) It was a while since I last went to see a football match back home at Vasil Levski national stadium, so I was eager to go. And I really enjoyed it. The match was very good, with a lot of goals. What surprised me was the calm attitude of the fans - no vandalism or violence. Even though the referee ended the game in a terrible way - still no fights between the Danes and the Swedes. I think that's the way football should be.

Another new from the day - Bulgaria won 2-0 against Belarus! :)

Erasmus

Yesterday we watched an interesting movie with some of my friends. It was a French/Spanish movie called "l'Auberge Espagnole". I'm not sure what attracted me most to that movie - the fact that I watched it while I was still tipsy from a whole day drinking beer and cocktails (it was a great celebration of the last study day in the university :)), its relaxed and simple style that made it enjoyable to watch or the fact that it was about Erasmus students :)
I've been living the "Erasmus way of life" for the past 4 months and it's nice from time to time to stop and realize what's happening to you. To appreciate this unique experience and describe it in a blog post :P
For sure the most valuable aspect was the opportunity to live, work and study in a multicultural environment. In such a cultural melting pot you feel a part of an international community where everybody is away from home and family, away from the cosiness of the native language and habbits. But that's the best part - you are forced to adapt, to react to this change and somewhere in the process become a better man - more tolerant, more open to the diversity and with much wider world horizons! You stop being locked in your national dimensions and become a true European - young, mobile, always exploring and always learning - by yourself and from the people around you.
What's good about it is that you are young and energetic and have the chance to meet and live with such people from many different countries. Suddenly you realize that the others are not so different and it's so easy to get along and party together. The language is no longer a barrier, the status and connections back home are not important, you are no longer Bulgarian, French, Polish, Hungarian - you are Erasmus :)
I really like this Erasmus spirit and I'm more than happy I was and still am a part of it. So, what I gained from my Erasmus experience - well it's not over yet and I hope in my last 3 weeks I'll add many more unforgettable moments and interesting events. I'll write about that some day soon. But overall it was very good so far :)
Hail to an amazing and world changing programme! Hail to a lifetime experience! Hail to Socrates/Erasmus! :P :P :P
