It`s fun to be at the lecture with at least 200 other people and watch them. Our teacher is talking about monetary politics and it`s actually interesting topic, but to be honest, almost no one is listening.

I am looking around and I see majority of laptops on Facebook, couple others are playing solitaire and one is playing a game I don't know. It`s funny cause this lecture is 3 hours long and thats quite a long time. The teacher is not tracking the attendance so what is the point of all the students here?

Why are all the students here and not at the pub with friends, or at home studying or working or on the bike? That is something that I really can't understand. The time is rare, time is the only thing that you cannot buy, for anything and is also limited. Why do we waste it on stupid stuff, why aren`t we able to enjoy every moment and make every moment count?

I am not trying to say that I am good at this. That I don't know stuff like procrastination, laziness and wasting my time, but I think that I realize that problem, trying to do something about it. So what is it that you are struggling with? Is it too much TV, or too much time on Facebook, playing too much computer games? Or shopping the whole time on your computer, or just spending all the free time in the bed?

I think that all of us, have something that we are wasting our time at and I also believe that we don`t like it. SO why don't we try to do something about it? Why don't we start a challenge about saving 30 minutes a day, that we think we don't know yet for stuff that really matters? It can be a prayer time, it can be time with Bible, time with your family, spouse or just thinking about life. I know we can do it, its not too much, only 30 minutes, can we win? Lets try and let me know how is it going.

School time

The time is here, the time of sleepless nights and even vorse days. The time when we are trying to get the whole semester into our heads in just a couple of days. The time when the stress is up and emotions too.

I realized two things about my exams time.
First, I am getting fat, I am starting to have a really amazingly discusting rubber around my waist and that I need to start work out more often to get it gone before the comming bikiny time.
Second, I am not so nice to people around me, when I am stressed I can say stupid stuff that I am not thinking about.

So I am asking myself if the exams are really that important that we need to put in danger our relationships for them? Is it really worth it?

I dont think so, I dont think that an exam from economy can supply my girlfriend and test from marketing my best friend. SO my little advice is, take it easy, slow down a bit, pray about that and just be nicer to people around you. Its them who help you to get this life done well.

Nerashte

Last couple of months were really interesting. Much changed again in my life. I found an amazing girl that I can share my life with, that I can love and take care of. I started to be somehow happy in Prague, even I still miss many people here, but I am seeing is at a place where I live now and many others.

But the thing I want to share with you is the trip to Macedonia we did with YL last week. It was somehow a normal mission trip to a Albanian part of Macedonia, fully muslim, into the village called Nerashte close to Tetovo almost on the border with Kosovo.

It was fourteen of us, traveling 26 or so hours in three trains to the place, then for 5 days build a playground, paint one big wall and a big fence. And then go another 30 or so hours back. But it wasnt just that. It wasnt just building and making one elementary school nicer and better equipped.

It was a life changing experience for many kids there. Kids that are hated in the country that hates muslims, that hates Albanians because of the war they had few years ago. It was a absolutely new for them, that someone actually cared, someone spend the time with them, played soccer and football and let them be part of something bigger then just them. I could see it in almost every face, the happiness, joy and hope. Hope that world is not such a bad place, and that it doesnt need to be just mafia wars, or wars with Macedonians and poverty and no future. And to be honest? It changed my life too.

My eyes got opened about some stuff. Maybe what would I want to do in the future, that some of the problems I am dealing with arent really that important and that my life is not as bad as I sometimes think and that world is a better place then I thought.

Also we grew soooo close with the team, group of people who maybe saw each other couple times started to share their lifes with one another and share snacks, drinks, money, clothes, jokes and everything. It was a wonderful reminder how can a kingdom of God looks. People loving each other and helping each other and just live in some kind of unity and community.

I am really thankful I could have experienced that, it was like charging my batteries for the future days. I showed me again why I believe what I do and why I do what I do. Why I am a YL volunteer, why I want to get to know young people and maybe give them a new possibilities.

Its a wonderful world out there, out here, around us. And I love that I was a part of something so great.
