International Day

On the last day of school, 19th October we hosted the International day. Each country was allocated a room and activities were run. However someboody had to organise the GYM for the concert and prepare the dining hall and obviously it was the job for the year 13 students. We organized the stage and some musical equipment as well as the tables and cloth and serving the food to teachers and students. After everybody ate we cleaned the dining hall and enjoyed the concert. Unfortunately this was my last international day at BISM but I hope that we can be more organised and waste less time, while organising the upcoming events.

Gear Changing

Our family has several cars. The oldest one is a Mercedes C200 Kompressor, which was bought in the year 2001 and unfortunately the selector of the automatic gear broke down. When the gear was placed in Reverse the car did not move and when it was placed in Drive the car randomly turned gears on, which in many case resulted in dangerous rev's. So the problem was in the Automatic gear selector, which was to be changed. Me and my driver have bought the selector and changed it. It was very difficult to do this, as the entire front interior had to be removed. We used the C-class construction book to find the places where the panel was fixed in position. This was possible because my driver is a auto-mechanic. This procedure took us about three hours. Now the car works well and we hpe that no more parts will have to be changed in the future 5-6 months at least. The picture o the right shows the old selector.

RC- modelling

Recently I have dried my car, taped some parts in order to isolate the wires from the water and I have tried another launch. The weather was wet, which gave me an opportunity to test my new construction out and it worked to a certain exten, however I have noticed that the ariel is not working well. Perhaps there is a probem with the receiver component. Now the car is a bt more water resistant than before and my aim is to get it ready for the winter season, film a short video and fix the signal problem.
Perhaps it is not clear on the photograph but an isolation layer of tape is presnt on the wires near the engine and the purple receiver.

GYM

I have continued going to the school GYM 2-3 times every week. As I have previously mentioned, my aim was to increase the weight I can lift, while bench pressing, but at the moment I only managed to increase the number of repetitions I can do with the 70 kg mass. In order to increase my muscular mass I have decided that I need a more protein-rich diet in order to encourage muscular growth. I will be continuing to attend the GYM 2-3 times a week and I will also do 3*30 push-ups everyday before dinner ( wide hand positioning), as I believe that this will help me achieve my goals quicker and the reason why I want to do this exercise before dinner is to ensure that the protein in my food will be used up for muscle growth and not some other purpose. My aim is 90 kg for the end of year.

Helping at Parent's Evening

On the 9th october I stayed back after school to help parents, who do not understand English with translating from Russian to English so that they would be able to understand what the teachers have got to say about their son/daughter. I also served tea and coffee. Thsese were simple but important tasks. Perhaps it would more intersting if I would have to translate German or Hindi, which do not know as well as English and Russian. I will be trying to help out at the other parent-teacher meeting that will take place later this year to provide a service to the school.
