Interesting things for me

I have always been interested in stuffs like déjá vu feeling, amnesia, insomnia or simply human sleeping. One thing that made me surprised was in listening and speaking seminar. I found out that another girl showed interest in déjá vu feeling and study of sleeping too. I was taken aback because I had also been planning to perform these themes but finally I chose Madame Tussaud’s life.

Anyway, déjá vu feeling can be described as an already seen or already experienced situation. Everybody can meet this kind of feeling that can last from 10 to 30 seconds. As I read déjá vu happens mainly to people between 15 and 25 years old. Other age group also realize it but as a person is getting older the frequency of this phenomenon is decreasing. The other strange thing I read and did not understand why it was important factor that people with higher income experience déjá vu more frequently. Besides, the more you travel the more probable you’ll feel it.
One of my personal experiences took place in a seminar, listening and speaking, when I felt for a long time that once I had been there, I had been sitting there sometime in the past. It was so weird feeling.

By the way, the girl I wrote about had said, in relation to sleeping, that 20% of the people dream in black and white. I have never seen a black and white picture in my dreams so far. But the other mentioned vision in dreams, that a person who is dreaming is falling, was dreamt by a lot of people around me as well as by me. A stressful kind of life, anxiety and sometimes circulatory disorder can cause this dream.

The relation between déjá vu and dreams maybe that some scientists say people feel déjá vu because they have already dreamt about that certain situation.
If so, can we predict our events of our life?

An Inconvenient Truth

Not long ago, the last Tuesday as usually I went to American Corner to watch a movie with my friends. Till we got there I believed that another movie would be presented but we were shown the An Inconvenient Truth. Before the start of the film a native English speaker teacher of University of Pécs performed the real problem of the world that was summarized in the movie: global warming.
The film by Al Gore represents the way our climate changes and has changed so far. Al Gore says the global warming and the things relates to it are not a political but a moral issue. He says that people should hold together and do something to prevent that can be prevented yet. So this film calls our attention to the approaching dangers.
For instance it made perceptible what would happen if the idea of sinking headlands referred to Florida and Shanghai or India. During the presentation pointed out that they would sink under water and lot of people would die I was shivering.
Another effect of the global warming on the world that shocked me was polar bears have not enough ice swimming on the water to climb on and rest after swimming a lot, so some of them drown.
Besides, there was an explanation what causes the global warming. The rays of the Sun are not allowed to leave after entering and warming up the Earth because of the harmful gases that we, human beings produce every day.
So I think the most desperate thing of all that the global warming exists due to US.

A little report about our ball :)

The ball for the first year students was on 21. November 2007. I assumed that everybody among my classmates had known this date but unfortunately not everyone was present. The students, who came, were expected to have that kind of clothes on that suit to the party (be properly dressed as the advertising poster said). The ball was held in the lecture room of the building of ÁOK.

When I arrived and stepped inside the hall I could admire the varieties of ball-gowns. Some girls were wearing princess-like evening dress but you could see that a few girls just put on a corset with formal trousers.
As for me I had a black dress on with silver patterns that almost reached my knees, so it was not too short and not too long. I think it was suitable to move, dance and be worn without any awkwardness and discomfort. There was only one thing that disturbed me: my high-heeled shoes. It was so demanding to dance overnight in them.

Anyway, a big beamer showed every sms that you could send to a telephone number was written on it. So this way anybody had the chance to send messages to anybody. I liked it when I saw a couple of words on the beamer: “Tika, tika, anglisztika”. I thought it was nice. But the loveliest thing of the night was that a compliment for me appeared on the beamer from my boyfriend. :)

The hand-made duck

It was a great pleasure when I got it. I know it is just a figure made from plush material, and cotton. But for me receiving it was a kind of showing her love. I am about my cousin who has always had a handicraft. The object she made was a duck. A yellow, medium size, plush duck. It is not just another thing I can put on my shelves or on top of my chest but a present that I was waiting for for a long time.
It was a nice expectation, I mean I was really curious how a hand-made duck looks like. She created it to be a lifelike one and you can mistake it for one that was produced in a toy factory, due to its well-designed feature.
While she was bringing it into existence she was thinking of me. And this is what I appreciate very much and the other important thing is that she made my duck by her hands.
Till I got the duck, it was always a theme to discuss during our msn conversation. We use the internet to talk to each other because she lives far from my town, Keszthely therefore we could not express our love for each other. We meet rarely and there was no real relationship between us.
But this little object made us to think about each other more often.
