Cooking for International Day

This year I have decided to cook Gulash again for International Day. Last year it was quite good and almost all of it was gone by the end of the day. It is always challenging to cook Hungarian dishes since they need to be spiced well so that the spices are even and etc... So this year I undertook this challenge again and I have to say that it was much better than last time. My mother helped me out if there was something but, there is always less and less help I need from her. I am quite certain that this year's Gulash tasted almost like my mother's perfect Gulash. Since it was, quite good, for me, I took it to International Day and let it be served for the parents and students. I was surprised to find only some left on the end of the day.

Learning Grooves and songs

I have started to practice playing the drums about 6 months ago. Since then I have made a lot of progress. I really like playing the drums as it is relaxing and takes my mind off the work which is really good. I have decided to document my progress and my plans each week so that I can keep track but also to show what I can do already.

This week I have learned some 16th notes fills which are quite basic and simple but really useful when it comes to amusing people with simple fills. I have also practices some of my songs which I have played such as You Give Love A Bad Name and It's My Life from Bon Jovi.

Next week I am planning to learn some new grooves to further my improvisation skills. I will post later to fill (haha) you in on what I did. There is an awesome site which teaches this stuff online :

freedrumlessons.com

Awesome try it if you play drums.

Astronomical research

I have been doing my Galaxy Zoo scientific research every weekend. It is a program online which allows you to identify and classify stars and galaxies. I will document my finding and my progress each week.

This week I have found some unusual merging galaxies and even had some which caused interference in the camera. Very interesting. Possibly gamma rays from distant stars colliding and collapsing due to very high mass and gravity.

Being a goalie

This Thursday (and every other) I still play for my team in the school football championship where I practice being a goalkeeper. It is quite hard work. I train my reflexes, my hand-eye coordination. However I also try to get as many clean sheets as possible. But my ultimate goal is to get as least goals (haha) as possible. That's what I am trying to achieve. I will record my improvements and the efforts I made every week.

This week I managed to get 1 clean sheet, which is not my best result, but my team is not in the best form right now and we are missing some players so it is making the defense a lot harder. However I will still try to concentrate and get more saves the next time.
