Assignment 1 Letter of introduction I don’t know you, you are new in my world. So how about we get to know one and other? So first thing you need to know about me is my name and it’s Nikola Donov. I am smart so yes, I might be smarter than you. What else…oh yes how could be that stupid, I am 10 years old (for now), my birthday is on the 11 of August in 2001. And I am very good with computers (if you don’t believe me then call me the next time you have a virus on your computer).I like games like Minecraft, warcraft (even though I can’t play it on my pc), Wizard101 etc. I like adventure movies. Also my favorite day of the week is Friday, because it’s the last day of school in the week. So that’s all the basic things about me. Apparently I’m good at English too because of writing this. Well you got to know me, now I want to get to know you so why not send me a letter? Don’t worry it doesn’t hurt to write, just don’t forget your birthday. Oh yes and one more thing, here is a little advice: Don’t take life too seriously you will never be able to enjoy it! Try and translate this!

Assignment 5 Room Sweet Room Note: If you are reading this then you shouldn’t tell the classmate I will speak of!
A room is like a museum, it has all the things from your past. Sometimes I look at anything in my room and say: -Ah, this is from when I …! My room is my own reminder of the past and now I will tell you what I mean. In the room I have a antique candle. When I look at it it reminds me of when we had a lottery in 4th grade. I got my lottery prize from Konstantina(Girl who I feel sorry for doing such bad things to her in the past) and every time I look at the candle I say to myself: -Ahhhh, Nikola why did you torment this girl so much?! I have a poster of Captain Jack Sparrow hanged up on the wall and it reminds me of how happy I was when I watched the movies. I was in the cinema to watch the 4th movie and it was very interesting and fun to watch it on a big screen. When I look at my clothes I remember how I got many awards and diplomas wearing them. When I look at my laptop I feel sadness because it reminds me of the time I should have been picked to go on TV , but I wasn’t due to a mistake of my teacher. When I look at my TV I also feel sad because I will never forget the sadness I saw on Koni’s face when she found out I was going to be on TV, but not her. Like I said our room is like a museum it reminds us of things we did, we should have done or didn’t do. A room is like a burial ground where we berry our thoughts, feelings and memories. In this assignment I showed you how I feel when I look at my room, but I, like many other people will try to make the best of my life so those memories locked inside my room remind me of good things in my life. ~6~
Assignment 6 Personal Metaphors
1.If I would be and animal then I would be a squirrel, because even though I am funny and friendly I can sometimes be really annoying! 2.If I would be a car I would be a Pero Duva because it is small like me. 3.If I would be an article of clothing I would be a shirt because I’m simple. 4.If I would be a day of the week I would be Monday because I always start everything. 5.If I would be a food I would be a potato because the potato is smart because it can make energy and I am smart too so we are of the same sort. 6.If I would be a color I would be blue because often I feel sorry for people or get sad because of something I did wrong. 7.If I would be a movie I would be “A Man with one red shoe because it is strange. 8. If I would be a fragrance I would be salt because it is strange. 9.If I would be a Type of building I would be a store because I give a lot. 10.If I would be a plant I would be basil because it hates mosquitoes. 11.If I would be an instrument I would be a violin because I’m sad or happy. 12.If I would be a geometric shape I would be a star because it complicated. 13.If I would be a piece of furniture I would be a sofa because its good. 14.If I would be a song I would be Flight of the Bumblebee because its nonstop. 15.If I would be a season I would be Summer because it’s a little annoying. 16.

Assignment 7 Symbolic Recipe
So in this assignment I will show you how to make something fun, smart , something that is a good detective (I am not a detective I just watch a lot of shows so I have learned how to be a good detective) and something that is ALIVE. Frankenstein? Nope it is…………… ME! Note: This recipe MIGHT not work! (There is only ONE me! Alright first you need some DVDs of detective shows. Next you need a pinch of nice and a spoon of compassion. Next you need to bake this in an oven to make it angry. Next you need to slice some carrots to fix my vision. Finally u have to throw this out and forget you ever realized what I am made of!

Assignment 8 Synectics
1.A pen is wiser then a pencil because unlike the pencil it can write in colors. 2.A dream is much more difficult then a nightmare. A nightmare is a horror story that we dream eventually we wake up. The dream is a combination of our wishes, desires and hopes. When we wake up we realize that it was only a dream and those happy thoughts weren’t real. 3.A hour is braver then a year. You may be asking yourself: “What???? How can an hour be braver????? Well in a year you will do lots of cowardly things but u will do brave things too. Imagine that your house is on fire and no one notices you have 1 hour to save your family you would be brave and save your home. But in a year you would be thinking “There is enough time ill do something brave later!” 4.A friend is more usefully because its better to have someone helping you then having someone you always fight/quarrel with. 5.Seek is sadder because you are some times desperate to find what you are looking for. 6.Art is happier because it is like putting all your happy emotions on a piece of paper. 7.A home costs more because its harder to find a home then to just move in the first house you see. 8.A mirror is like a legend because it is more mysterious. 9.An entrance has more pride because you are proud when you enter somewhere but when you exit you sometimes feel bad. 10.Literature is more trustworthy because history can easily be faked, while literature cant be. ~9~
Assignment 9 Cheer Your Self Up!
In this assignment I will be showing you what cheers me up when I got the blues. Well first I would stay locked in my room for like 30 minutes. Then I would start thinking and thinking for about 15 minutes. Finally I would just get all my stuff that’s heavy enough to hold me and make a puzzle for myself. Later when I get bored of that I would take my little remote control robot and make a nice big maze for it. I would get stuck in the maze a million times but at last I will finish it. If I have had trouble with a teacher or friend I would first talk to my parents about it. Then I would go to my room and watch some TV, If I get bored I would just go and umm think of some interesting story in my fantasy. If I am sad that I cannot learn something I just watch Da Vinci learning and see a crazy idea for fun. Example: Mazes are easy, but how easy do you think they are when you are only allowed to look at the mirror not the maze?

Assignment 10 One Medium suitcase
You might be wondering why this is written in blue. It is because I am leaving home FOREVER. I will not tell you why, but I will tell you what I will bring. There are some hints on the page that show something important (Sometimes they will be backwards). First I will bring all of my photo albums (If they fit in my only medium sized suitcase). I will bring them because they will remind me of all the good times I have had. Next I will take at least one book because it will remind me of the nice people I knew in school. Third thing I will bring is a phone so I can stay in contact with everyone (If they have a phone). Fourth thing I will bring is my little laptop. It has a lot of notes where I have kept both my own and other people’s secrets. I will plan to use it all the time to photo edit drawings, applications, animations of people I will miss. What people? Some of the hints on this page will help reveal their names. Then the fifth and final thing is…………………a candle. What candle? If you have carefully read all the pages you will know if not here is a hint: Animal Super Strong Intermediate Good Neighbor Michel Emerson Nice Talker 5. Why that candle? I will explain in the final page of this autobiography assignment (It will be one of my bad/good traits)

Assignment 11 Extraordinary pets!
In the previous 10 assignments I have shown you some of my ideas, opinions, past and off course some of the things that make me be me. In this assignment I am supposed to write about pets, because I do not have a pet and I have never had one either I will be talking about an adventure with a “pet” that I had (It wasn’t a pet it was just a small cat that I took care of for a while). It was a quiet afternoon; I was coming back with my parents from the store. I saw my neighbor Iva (She was 6 back then and I was 9). She had a little kitty in her hand. My parents went home I stayed with Iva and the kitty. There was a strange thing about the kitty, Iva called her “Clea”. I had no idea what that meant then I asked and Iva told me she named the cat Cleopatra, so “Clea” is short for Cleopatra. Then cat liked to sit on me (A LOT) and it often hurt because of her nails. Then one day the little kitty left and I never saw her again. I will always remember the cat that loved to sit and scratch me.

Assignment 12 The Examined life
The final assignment is here! On the same day as the Macedonian premiere. Read the good things first and later you should take a small brake, maybe get a pizza and start reading the horrors of my life. You think you have had to known me from the previous assignments, THINK AGAIN! Good Things about me: I am usually very loyal. I will always be there for my friends. I am smart. I never leave something to be lost (game, tournament etc.). I will never give up. I know there is always a better way to do some things. I’d do anything for some people. I am rarely wrong. I help people. I will never forget the good people in my life. I have not told you of the bad things about me yet.
Horrors of my life: I sometimes cannot control my anger and hurt people. I often leave people when they need me. I often do not think before doing what I plan to do I let competitiveness get to my head. I forget things (not people). I do not use that better way to do things. By doing anything for them I lose. Others are rarely right. I do not help people (sometimes). I will never forget when I hit Koni’s head in the window. ď Œ I just told you all the bad things about me
