My name is Marija, but you can call me Maja. I’ll try to tell you something about me, my school and country.

SCHOOLS

We go to school in two shifts. One week, we are the first shift and we go to school from 8.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. and the second week we’re the second shift and we go to school from 2.00.p.m to 7.30 p.m.
When I go to school in the morning shift (the first shift) I come home after 2.00 p.m. and I’m free after that. When I get home, after lunch, I usually watch TV for a while and then I start learning. After 6.00 p.m. I’m usually free, so I go out with my friends or stay at home, listen to some music or watch TV (but that’s when the weather’s badJ)
I’m 18 years old and I’m in the final year of the Secondary Economic School. There are about 1000-1100 students and about 40 teachers in my school. Some of the subjects we study include: economy, law, finances, Serbian, maths, English, P.E…Our grades are from 1 to 5 and 5 is the best. We learn between 13 and 15 subjects, depending on the year you’re in. There are 30 classrooms, seven computers rooms and a gym in my school. It isn’t a big school. Our classes are 45 minutes long. After the second class we have 20 minutes break and after the fourth – 10 minutes. We have 5, 6 or 7 classes a day. Since we’re usually home for lunch, we don’t have any meals provided in school. If we’re the second shift, we buy something to eat during the big break.

RESTAURANTS

There are Mc Donald’s restaurants in many towns in Serbia but not in Kragujevac. There was one, for some time, but it was closed. It was interesting for a year or two, but the meals are too small for us! And we usually prefer our, domestic food. There are some fast food restaurants here, but hamburgers are bigger and of different taste.

FASHION

Jeans is always popular. We wear sports clothes and the trendy brands are Nike, Roma or Adidas, but we also wear some fancy clothes, depending on the occasion. Now, everything is popular. Everything that you can see on FTV or in fashion magazines! Everyone’s got his or her own style. And popular designers are: Moschino, Lacosta, Gucci, Roberto Cavalli, Armani, H&M, Max Mara, Benetton, and Prada.
And as for make up: natural look is in.

Greetings from Serbia :)!
