BA Reunion

Yesterday evening it was time to praise modern technologies, more precisely the Internet. Thanks to the Friends part of the webpage www.one.lv we managed to organize a little reunion of our Bachelor course mates. Back in September 1998 there were 16 of us that started the English-Danish philology studies at the Faculty of Modern Languages of the University of Latvia. Last night there were 5 of us – Kristīna, Marija, Kristīne, Jolanta and myself. This was a special occasion as Kristīna had come from Israel to visit her family, so we just had to use the moment. As I said we studied languages so I guess it will come as no surprise if I’ll tell you the reason why there weren’t more present last night is that Arta, Evija and Agnese are in Denmark, Sandra is in Oslo, Aļona is in Paris, Olga is in Ireland, Jūlija and Valērija are in London. Alise and Ilva are still here in Rīga but I guess they didn’t have time to join our little reunion. Nevertheless it turned out to be a very pleasant evening where managed to cover many topics starting from studying all the way to giving birth. Judging from yesterday I can harbour a hope that perhaps more of us might like to meet in another 7 years. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for that. And for good luck for all of our girls wherever in the world they might be!

As you might have guessed last night I was accompanied by my new silvery friend and the result of this union you can find in the album Danes where you will find the sub-album BA Reunion. Still talking about pictures… If you happen to like flowers then I would suggest visiting the album previously known as Tulips. Now it bears the more general title of Nature etc. and there you can find pictures of flowers and other lovely things that have caught my eye. Very closely… ;-))) And the place to go for different kind of snapshots of people, things and events that I have come across is the sub-album This and that.
