deviantID

A 20 something year old from Split, Croatia. Likes to read books (sometimes to much for her own good), manga and comics, loves to watch anime and good moves, listen to various music genres, has her own camera now and photographs different things that she finds interesting. She likes writing, but only in her native language. Sometimes she dares to venture in the dangerous waters of writing poetry in English. Speaks 3,5 languages (Croatian, English, Italian and a bit of Japanese), 2 active (Croatian, English), one passive (Italian) and is learning to speak Japanese. That one is going rather well. Is a happy camper if you don't bug her too much or annoy her in any way or form. Avoid when angry. Lazier than necesary, but trustworthy and responsible; also a great organiser of various events.

The title is stupid I know, but I'm just too tired to think of something intelligent for a title; and I do believe that all things must have a title. Because unnamed this and unmarked that is just confusing. Currently I am so swapped with work I have barely the time to look and comment the deviations of people I watch and that leaves me with no time to photograph or even edit some of the photos I took when I went to Marjan.

Yesterday, for 7 hours, I had a class about Greek and Roman history and their influence on Croatian lands and in those 7 hours of lecture I have learned absolutely nothing because our professor kept talking about statues and pillars, structures, grave stones and inscriptions on them and how to read them and decipher them and extract information from them; and of course about the CIL III or Corpvus Inscriptionvm Latinarvm and forgetting in the process that half of us don’t know any old Greek and little Latin. Oh joy…

And then she gave us an assignment to do: we have to write a seminar on a subject we get – and the subject is some inscription and we have to interpret it with the help of literature, which by the way we didn’t get because in their obliviousness they forgot it was Saturday and today is Sunday and the library’s don't work on those days. And we have to at least know something about the subject we are writing about until Monday when we have the next round of 7 hour lectures. I have absolutely no idea how to get some relevant information on the subject I’m working on, which is isle of Electra from The Argonautica by Apollonius Rhodius; and I don’t think they’ll accept the www as a valuable and credible source. So in essence I’m in trouble, or the whole class is in trouble because we have no idea what to do. And did I mention they didn’t explain what exactly we need to do? Of course not, we spent 7 hour discussing topics of minor relevancy…

Ugh and that’s just one class from my university. I have 2 mayors: English language and literature and History and about 5 various classes from each of those mayors. I have tons of homework, little free time and no social life whatsoever. I knew it was going to be hard when I got in to the university, but what I didn’t expect was: lack of literature, no proper explanation on what needs to be done, classes on Saturday (the whole day!), no information or syllabus on the net and no organization skills. OK I knew about the organization problem, because the Faculty of Philosophy in Split is located in 5 places around town and I have lectures in 4 of those places, but at least I’m at one place per day and I don’t have to run around town like a maniac or something…

Well that’s about enough rant about my university and problems. I hope you’re having a better time than I am with school/work/life/something and that you’re enjoying your Sunday off. The only good news I have is that I’ll be going to Salona in 2 weeks and that’s a great opportunity to get some wonderful photos. For those of you who don’t know where or what Salona is here’s a short explanation: Salona was an ancient capital city of the Roman province of Dalmatia. During the invasion of the Avars and Slavic people the city was destroyed and its population retreated behind the walls of Diocletian’s palace in Split; and thus was my home town formed. The ruins of ancient Salona are situated near today’s town of Solin (near to Split).

Until next time and hopefully in a better mood :-)

Iskreno mi je drago što te opet vidim. nadam se da ćeš se javiti ponekad.... pišem drugi roman. prvi je završen i lektoriran. Sad tražim izdavača. (još uvijek....) u drugom romanu ima više vilenjaka nego u prvom (što će se tebi posebno svidjeti!)

Wow pišeš drugi roman... Blago tebi, ja se još uvijek ne mogu prisilit da napišem poduže priče koje mi se vrte po glavi. Šta ćeš kad sam lina, a i lito je pa idem na more... Tisuću isprika da ne pišem :-) Držim ti fige i šaljem pozitivne vibracije da nađeš izdavača što prije. :hug:

Hvala! nekako ...kad kreneš pisati ide teško ali kad ti se priča počne odmotavati ruke ti postanu spore da je prate. :) nakon deset ili petnaest strana samo krene ...ko voda. Zadaj si zadatak da pišeš tri strane dnevno. I toga se pridržavaj ko svetog pisma. Pomaže! :)
