I had my cas interview this month. During the interview I was asked about what, in my opinion, was hard or easy, good or bad about my cas experience. This question made me look back at my year in retrospective and actually think about the meaning of what I was doing and how it impacts … Continue reading Second CAS interview
Diabetes awareness
The beloved CAS project. We were told what the cas project is by our cas coordinator and almost immediately after that, I teamed up to do it with my good friend Deividas. We both brainstormed a few ideas for cas projects and after discussing them we decided to associate our project with a very important … Continue reading Diabetes awareness
Participating in preparation and performance of “Paskutinis skambutis”
The time of "The last bell" for twelfth graders has come. I think that it's one of the most meaningful celebrations that a person can ever have in school. It's the culmination of twelve years of your life. The ending of one part of your life and the beginning of another. And it was up … Continue reading Participating in preparation and performance of “Paskutinis skambutis”
Guitar playing and singing
Yes, I still play guitar. I'm still deeply in love with music. This month I combined the guitar and singing parts of a song by Phum Viphurit called Lover Boy and another song by Boy Pablo called Feeling Lonely. During singing lessons my teacher told me what to improve - things like preparing my voice … Continue reading Guitar playing and singing
Going to the gym
I bought a gym membership for two months at "Vs fitness" in Ozas. I wanted to do everything correctly, so I hired a trainer, who examined my physical abilities and built a three days per week training schedule for me. I was told that I am in overall great physical shape, but my back is … Continue reading Going to the gym

I was really curious to see how the singers warm up and fascinated by … Continue reading Volunteering at the “Samsonas ir Dalila” opera
Participating in the fashion show of licėjus
Throughout my life I've never really followed fashion until this year. This year I kind of rediscovered it as a way of expressing myself rather than just putting on whatever that looks alright. I heard about the fashion show of licėjus right before spring break. Our class was assigned the "Van Gogh and flowers" theme. … Continue reading Participating in the fashion show of licėjus
Helping out at a veterinary clinic
Following my path of gaining more veterinary and animal care practice, I went down to "Jakovo veterinary clinic" a few times this month. Since I am showing up more often, I get to feel what the veterinary doctor's profession is like in more perspective. And what I like about it so far is that it … Continue reading Helping out at a veterinary clinic
Volunteering at an animal shelter
Caring for animals has always been one of my favorite things to do, so as Britney Spears once said "oops, I did it again". I feel like animals are always at the mercy of us humans, so it's heartbreaking when people leave their pets without care or abandon them. And if there is anything I … Continue reading Volunteering at an animal shelter
Singing
This month I had some more singing lessons. The previous months I didn't get very in depth with techniques, but now I've had a conversation with my teacher about each technique so I could better understand the purpose of it. So in more detail I learned that when you sing: 1. The jaw must be … Continue reading Singing
