Growing up

My first B2.1 week is over. Today I’m starting the second one.

Looking back at the previous blue experience and comparing it to the new orange one, I can say this second class is like a step forward to maturity. If in B1.2 I felt like a child during the hours, playing games and talking about stories, now, at B2.1, things are a little big changed.

People take themselves a little more seriously, even if the favourite movie of one of my colleagues is Titanic:) We are no longer kids, we are doctors, financial experts or piano students, we like to talk seriously about how much we read and about our favourite author, we like to look responsible and hard working. The subjects we talk about are more serious, the way we approach these subjects is more serious too.

But, I have to admit, I kind of miss the games, the innocence and the ironies from B1.2. Some other colleagues, still young at heart, miss it too. Even though I felt like a baby sometimes, drawing, playing different roles, creating stories, just like a baby, I also made new friends and easily memorized new things. It was fun.

It’s true, we’ve watched a movie last Friday, we’ve tried to be a bit more relaxed and to enjoy ourselves. But, don’t know why, there’s something missing. The childhood, I guess.
