University

The summer went by very very quickly, my love for archery kept growing day by day, but October came by and fortunately I got accepted into University.

Getting a flat together with my best buddies wasn't that difficult, we had some relatives of ours looking for a rented flat for a few weeks before we went to the capital (in my country the biggest and the best University is in the public University of Prishtina). We got the flat, sorted our rooms and patiently waited for the lectures to begin.

The beginning of the lecures:
The lectures on my departments were given by some very good professors and I immediately started to enjoy some of them.
Old English Literature was becoming one of my favorites, the lessons were interesting and they were presented in a good way. The course was created in such a way that we would get the 'theory' first about when some of these amazing works were written, by whom, why it was written, etc. After that we would get a chance to read some works, novels, or whatever we had and then analyze them, we did some translations as well which was fun too.

Later we started with grammar which never was my best side, however, we had to do it and I tried to follow all my lectures, cannot say that I followed all of them (grammar ones) but tried to do my best. Literature, though, was where my heart and brain felt at it best. I still feel the same, I love literature a lot, so much that it pushed me to write this blog (not the only thing that pushed me to make this decision though).
Learning about the great masters of pen and paper feels amazing, the ideas, the messages and the beautiful narrations these books had in them were a new window to the world which I started seeing differently. That window remains open to my life and it keeps widening everyday, opening my eyes more and more everyday, showing me how little I know and how much there is to learn in the world.

I consider that starting English Language studies was the best thing I did in my life until that time, I can't say that I saw the value of it back then, however, now days I see the fruits of my choice. Being able to read English writers is an amazing feeling and I wish everybody does it.

World Archery Championship, Copenhagen 2015

I want to begin this blog, by apologizing to you guys, I haven't been able to write that much lately, I don't have a lot of time and I cannot seem to find motivation to write, however, whenever I find the time and I start writing, I love it. I am also training for an upcoming important competition, that is taking a lot of time out of my schedule and work hasn't been easy either. I promise one thing though, I won't stop writing, I may delay blogs but I will keep em coming. Today my story goes to the beautiful Viking land. I want to share the story of my time in Denmark, taking part in the World Archery Championship there. 2015 was a big year, I had a lot of training and multiple international competitions and I have to admit I got tired a little bit by the end of the season. This Championship was at the end of the season, I was tired but I had to compete here because this is where the best athletes come and compete, you cannot miss a chance like this and that was the r...

The birthplace of Philosophy

Studying, training and youth activities were enough activities to make my days full. I would always be busy, however I loved it. One thing that when I was younger I didn't really like was working a lot, I didn't mind to do one thing at a time but when it came to doing multiple things at the same time I didn't really enjoy it, growing up I started to enjoy it better and better everyday. And at 22 (this is happening in the year 2015) I learned how to live by doing multiple things daily. I felt I was growing as a man working on these things and I absolutely believe that everyone should do this at one point in their lives.  -Philosophy: Going back to high school, when I first started to learn Philosophy I felt how far the human mind has gone and how little to nothing we as individuals know. Learning about the worlds best philosophers, about philosophies. about world views developed from the greatest minds to ever live among us, make no mistake some of those minds have caused ...

My First Love

Everybody across Europe loves it, we in Kosova aren't different. As young kids we all fall in love with it and continue to love it for years and years after. Our first great love is Football ! After the war in my country ended, families started to settle on their homes and started doing many different things to help in their kids development. I was quite lucky to live in a city at that time, since the opportunities that it gave us were substantially higher that kids who lived in villages. Among the great things that we had was the football club. The club re-started its activity on the first summer after the war and started accepting young footballers on their football academies soon after. I started playing football for my local team "Drenica" when I was 7, and it definitely was my first great love. Training was a very fun activity and I can truly say that from training to be a football player I have learned a lot of things about human bodies, especially mine. (When...
