Mock session rap song
I'm sitting in my desk, staring at the clock It's time for the mock exam, my stomach's in a knot I've been studying hard, trying to retain But my mind is racing, I'm feeling the strain
Mock exam session, high school's a stressin' Gotta ace these tests, no time for second guessing Gotta keep my cool, gotta stay on track Gotta ace these tests, no time to slack
I'm flipping through my notes, trying to remember Everything I've learned, from September to December I've got math and science, English and history Gotta ace them all, no room for mystery
Mock exam session, high school's a stressin' Gotta ace these tests, no time for second guessing Gotta keep my cool, gotta stay on track Gotta ace these tests, no time to slack
I'm feeling the pressure, it's weighing me down But I can't let it show, I've gotta wear a crown I've gotta be the best, I can't afford to lose Gotta ace these tests, it's time to choose
Mock exam session, high school's a stressin' Gotta ace these tests, no time for second guessing Gotta keep my cool, gotta stay on track Gotta ace these tests, no time to slack

I had the opportunity to play golf at Sobienie Krolewskie, a golf course in Poland, and I must say that it was a truly memorable experience. The course itself was in excellent condition, with well-manicured fairways and greens that rolled smoothly and true. The layout was challenging but fair, with a variety of holes that tested every aspect of my game.
One of the things that stood out to me about Sobienie Krolewskie was the stunning natural surroundings. The course was situated in a beautiful forested area, with towering trees and rolling hills providing a stunning backdrop. The peaceful setting made for a truly relaxing and enjoyable round of golf.

Painting can be a very relaxing and enjoyable activity, especially when done as a form of self-care before a stressful event like a mock exam. The act of creating something with your own hands can be very therapeutic, as it allows you to focus on the present moment and let go of any stress or worries you may have.
In addition to its calming effects, painting can also be a great way to express yourself and tap into your creativity. Whether you prefer to work with oils, watercolors, acrylics, or another medium, the act of putting paint to canvas can be a very satisfying and rewarding experience.
I managed to relax and calm myself before the spring mock session in my school exactly through painting

Activity april 22' 2/2
As I tried bouldering in Marbella on wild rocks, I was filled with a sense of excitement and adventure. The rugged, natural surroundings provided a thrilling backdrop for my first foray into this challenging sport.
The physical demands of bouldering were intense, requiring strength, agility, and problem-solving skills. I had to push myself to the limit and embrace the fear of falling as I navigated my way up the rocks. Despite the challenges, I found the experience to be incredibly rewarding and empowering.
One of the most memorable moments of my bouldering experience was reaching the top of a particularly difficult route and looking out at the stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. The sense of accomplishment and pride I felt in that moment was indescribable.

As I helped my former teacher in his garden, I was struck by the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that came with the work. It was rewarding to see the fruits of our labor as we tended to the plants and watched them grow and thrive.
Working alongside my former teacher also brought back fond memories of my time in his classroom. It was a chance to reconnect with him and to reflect on the lessons he taught me, both in and out of the classroom.
I appreciated the opportunity to give back to someone who had made such a positive impact on my life and to learn more about gardening in the process. It was a truly fulfilling experience that I will always treasure.

Drawing near the sea shore can be a truly exhilarating and peaceful experience. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the salty sea air, and the vast expanse of the ocean all combine to create a sense of awe and wonder.
As I sit on the sandy beach and look out at the water, I can't help but feel a sense of smallness in the face of such a vast and powerful force. The sea has a way of putting things into perspective and reminding me of the beauty and majesty of nature.
At the same time, there is something calming and soothing about being near the sea. The rhythmic sound of the waves and the constant movement of the water have a meditative quality that can help to clear the mind and bring a sense of peace and tranquility.
As I sketch or paint the scene before me, I find myself becoming more attuned to the nuances and details of the landscape. The way the sunlight dances on the water, the patterns formed by the waves, and the way the sand shifts under my feet all become subjects of fascination.
Also it's my 18th birthday today. Happy adulthood to me I guess.

One of the things that I enjoyed most about this experience of playing on a spanish course again, was the opportunity to spend time outdoors and to enjoy the beauty of the course. The weather in Marbella is usually warm and sunny, which made it a pleasure to be out on the course. I also appreciated the opportunity to spend time with friends and to enjoy the camaraderie of the game.
At the same time, I also found that coming back to Marbella and improving my golf skills required a lot of hard work and dedication. I had to put in the time to practice and to learn new techniques, and I had to be patient with myself as I worked to improve. I also had to be mindful of my own physical limitations and to listen to my body when it needed a break.
I'm glad that I came back here and am about to spend my 18th birthday in my favourite place in the world!

Reflecting on my experience of creative writing songs, I have found it to be a deeply rewarding and satisfying process. Songwriting allows me to express myself in a unique and powerful way, and to connect with others through my music. It has also helped me to develop my skills as a writer and to explore new ideas and perspectives. Writing songs has been a wonderful outlet for my creativity and a source of joy and inspiration for me.

Stagnation and aphantasia
I feel stuck and unable to move forward, and it seems like no matter what I do, I can't find the motivation or inspiration to get my creative work off the ground.
One of the things that I have learned from this experience is that it is important to take care of myself when I am feeling stuck and uninspired. This might mean taking some time off to rest and recharge, or finding ways to reduce stress and anxiety. It might also mean seeking out support and guidance from others, whether through therapy, coaching, or simply talking to friends and loved ones.
Another lesson that I have learned is that it is important to be patient with myself and to recognize that creative blocks are a normal part of the process. It is okay to take a break and to give myself permission to rest and recharge. I have also learned that it can be helpful to try new things and to experiment with different approaches, as this can help to shake up my routine and spark new ideas.

It was a great feeling to be able to share my passion for rock climbing with someone else and to see them gain confidence and skills as we climbed together.
One of the things that I enjoyed most about this experience was the opportunity to be a mentor and to help my buddy learn the ropes (pun intended). It was rewarding to see him progress and to watch him gain confidence in his abilities. I also appreciated the opportunity to reconnect with my own love of rock climbing and to rediscover the joys of this sport.
At the same time, I also found that teaching someone else how to rock climb came with its own set of challenges. I had to be patient and to break things down into manageable steps, and I had to find ways to communicate complex concepts in a way that was easy for my buddy to understand. I also had to be mindful of his safety and to help him develop good habits and techniques.

I am filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride, when I look at our summer house in Zambski Kościelne. It was a challenging and sometimes frustrating process, the renovation, but it was also incredibly rewarding to see the transformation of the house and to be a part of bringing it back to life.
One of the things that I enjoyed most about this experience was the opportunity to work with my hands and to learn new skills. I was able to help with a variety of tasks, from painting and plastering to electrical work and plumbing. It was satisfying to see the progress we were making and to feel like I was contributing to the project in a meaningful way.
At the same time, I also found that renovating a house was a lot of hard work and required a lot of patience and perseverance. There were times when things didn't go as planned and we had to problem-solve and come up with creative solutions. It was also a physical and mental challenge to work for long hours and to push myself to keep going even when I was tired or frustrated.

Volunteering at a dog shelter was a rewarding and eye-opening experience for me. I had the opportunity to work with a variety of different dogs, each with their own unique personality and needs. I also had the chance to learn more about the challenges that these animals face and the ways in which the shelter is working to support them.
One of the most rewarding aspects of volunteering at the dog shelter was the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of the animals. Whether it was providing them with food and water, taking them for walks, or simply giving them some love and attention, I felt like I was making a difference in the lives of these animals. I also enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about their individual personalities and to form bonds with them.
At the same time, volunteering at the dog shelter also exposed me to some of the challenges and difficulties that these animals face. I learned about the reasons why some dogs end up in shelters, such as abuse, neglect, or abandonment, and it was heart-breaking to see the toll that these experiences had taken on some of the dogs. However, it was also inspiring to see the dedication and commitment of the shelter staff and volunteers to improving the lives of these animals and finding them loving homes.

Reflecting on my first trip to the golf course in the new year, now that the snow has melted, I am filled with a sense of excitement and gratitude. It feels wonderful to be able to get out on the course and enjoy the beauty of nature after being cooped up indoors during the winter months.
One of the things I appreciate most about golf is the opportunity it gives me to clear my mind and focus on the present moment. As I walked the course, I found myself lost in the simple pleasures of swinging my club and watching the ball soar through the air. I also enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment that comes with making a good shot and seeing the ball land where I intended it to.
At the same time, I also found myself feeling a bit rusty and out of practice after not playing for several months. I had to remind myself to be patient and to focus on the process rather than the outcome. This helped me to stay positive and to enjoy the game even when I wasn't playing as well as I wanted to.

Writing a full story based on my trip to Marbella and publishing it on a writers group was a rewarding experience for me. I had the opportunity to reflect on my trip and think about what made it special and memorable for me. I also had the chance to share my story with a community of writers, which allowed me to receive feedback and gain new perspectives on my writing.
One of the challenges I faced while writing this story was finding a way to structure the events of my trip in a way that was engaging and made sense to readers who may not have been there with me. I found it helpful to focus on specific details and moments that stood out to me, and to try to convey the feelings and emotions that I experienced during my trip.
Another challenge I faced was finding the right tone for my story. I wanted to convey the excitement and joy of my trip, but also the moments of relaxation and contemplation that I experienced. I found it helpful to read my writing out loud and see how it sounded, and to ask for feedback from others to get a sense of whether I was achieving the right balance.

Helping my younger cousin with her math homework has been a rewarding and challenging experience. It's been a great opportunity for me to not only share my knowledge and skills, but also to learn and grow alongside my cousin.
One of the things I've enjoyed most about helping my cousin with her math is seeing the progress she has made over time. It's been gratifying to see her confidence and understanding of the subject grow, and to be able to support her in her learning journey.
But helping my cousin with math has also been a challenge for me. It's required me to think about the concepts in a different way and to communicate them in a way that is clear and understandable. It's been a great opportunity for me to practice my problem-solving and communication skills, and I've learned a lot in the process.

Marbella incident
You probably noticed that his month I wrote a lot about Marbella. I spend awesome two weeks in there and I think that Spain became my favourite country.
After spending a school break in Marbella and Estepona, I have fallen in love with the region and would love to live there one day. The stunning landscapes, friendly locals, and vibrant culture have all combined to make Spain my favorite country.
One of the things I love most about Marbella and Estepona is the abundance of outdoor activities available. From golfing on beautiful courses to painting with the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop, there is always something to do and explore. The region is also home to a rich culinary scene, with delicious tapas and refreshing sangria being just a few of the local specialties.
But beyond the activities and amenities, what truly stands out to me about Marbella and Estepona is the welcoming and friendly culture of the people. Everyone I've met has been warm and welcoming, and I feel at home in the region.

recently had the opportunity to play golf in Marbella, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The views from the course were absolutely stunning, with the Mediterranean Sea stretching out in the distance. It was truly breathtaking.
But beyond the stunning views, I also enjoyed the challenge of playing golf on a new course. The greens were well-maintained and the layout of the course was both challenging and fun. I found myself really getting into the game, and by the end of the round, I was feeling more confident in my swing and my ability to navigate the course.
One of the things I loved most about playing golf in Marbella was the sense of relaxation and enjoyment it brought me. Being out on the course, surrounded by such natural beauty, was truly a special and memorable experience. I felt grateful to be able to spend the day playing golf in such a beautiful setting.
