Saturday, 15.01.2011


On Saturday evening we had a Maturity ball, which marks 100 days to the maturity exams. It started at 7 o'clock but we had a whole day with our families before that.
Me and Siret lived in Natalia Szcymanska's place. The family was really nice. As we could see, the maturity ball is very important to the Polish students. At first we spent a good time with our host's father at a shopping centre and after that we went to the hairdresser's with our host's mother. Before we went to the hairdresser's, we took some pictures from the internet to show them to the hairdresser, because she couldn't speak English. When we got there, we showed our pictures and the hairdresser did a really beautiful hairdo. Body language helped us a lot. Then we headed back home. Then we had to get dressed and a photographer came to our place. We had so much fun during the photoshoot.
Then it was time to go to the party. The Maturity ball started with a Polonese. It was a beautiful dance where all the schoolleavers were dancing this dance, the same steps but different combinations. It lasted for about 45 minutes. After the performance food was brougt to the tables. Then, half an hour later everyone started dancing. The ball lasted till 5 o'clock and the dancefloor was always full of dancers. It was an unforgettable night for all of us!
