Today I want to see Avatar with my sister Ksenia. It was such an inspiring and amazing film and I really enjoyed watching it in 3D. It opened my eyes to see how our forests were being destroyed and it also showed me how the living creatures must feel about their homes being destroyed. It made me very sad knowing that people don't realize the effect it makes, even one tree can effect a whole family of a certain specie... I'm going to try to do all i can to make a difference now.

 


Doctor Who

from Elizaveta Luba | Comment (2) | Jan 14, 2010 Elizaveta Luba

On Christmas day i watched my favourite programme called Doctor Who. The emotional part was when the grandad knocked 4 times because he wanted to get out of a trap and he was scared. It was sad because The Doctor was about to die. What inspired me was all the effects and the master and how all the time lords came back. My favourite character is the master now because he  faught the president time lord to save the doctor.


Natural History Museum

Recently i visited the history museum for the first time. I went to visit there because I needed to do research for college. When I got there I was very surprised about how beautiful the artifacts were in the museum and I learnt many interesting things about the history of other cultures. For example, In the asian section there was a big gold gong which was used in China also there was a statue of a gold buddah statue which was usually found in ancient temples. One thing which I remember is a crystal skull which was in a glass box, it made me think it was very precious and the fact that it was made by hand hundreds of years ago fascinated me!! This museum inspired me to study History in college!

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”
