School Life...What's new at school?

Hey, buddies, how is life going at school? Any interesting developments....?

Well, it's the end of the first term ... which is actually the beginning of the second ...

How do you feel about the forthcoming Olympiads on the various subjects you study? Do you plan to participate?
Friends from the Italian team, do you have school Olympiads? In Bulgaria they have been a long-term tradition. They are actually three-level competitions /Municipal, Regional and National level/ on the subjects that are studied at school. I'd like to take the chance to congratulate Mariana from the LAC team, who performed brilliantly at the Regional Pluralinguistic Competition scoring 93 from 100 points! Wish you luck at the National level contest!

Hmm.... I wanted to take part in the English Olympiad, but unfortunately I got ill so I had to miss the school for 3 days. And now after my absence I have to study hard for some tests in Maths, Chemistry and etc.

But I really want to go to the Biology Olympiad

Mariana has always been the best! Congratulations on her success.

Nasko, don't worry! You will certainly manage well at the Biology Contest. Do you know what's funny about it this year? It is scheduled for the 27th February and that is the Fasching day! ;0) So from the contest, straight to the party! ;0)
Everybody, probably it will be nice and useful for our Italian partners if you could write a short description of this School traditional celebration... so, what is Fasching? How do you feel about it?
