Olympian Gods

Here it comes, the third academic term. But I didn't go to school, because I participated in the regional stage of English Olympiad. But today was the first part: Listening & Reading, Grammar & Use Of English and Writing. And frankly I know that I failed somewhere, but I hope that I'm not that bad aaand, at least, I'd never participated in the regional stage of English Olympiad. My school teachers are really proud of me. Later I'll also take part in the regional stage of history Olympiad, but I have NO IDEA how I've managed to get there. I seem to know history with the strategy 'memorize-answer-forget'. Actually, I had the whole vacations and still have about a week to get prepared, buuuuut I am who I am and it's so unlikely for me to read anything so damn boring. I'd rather learn some stuff with "Civilization" and CGP Grey, but unfortunately they have nothing about Russian history.
Today Russia, Belarus, uncertain Ukraine, even Macedonia and some other countries celebrate so-called Old New Year. You see, long long time ago the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic officially adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1918, the Russian Orthodox Church continued to use the Julian calendar. The New Year became a holiday which is celebrated by both calendars (thanks to Wikipedia). Even our main chiming clock striking the midnight is shown on TV, but without the President's speech. My mom has her special festive mood this day, dad and I notice "Oh, it's Old New Year!", and I guess we don't do anything extraordinary. And this year isn't an exclusion, right now we're watching a New Year episode of one singing TV programme.
Our class has got a couple of new pupils. One of them is a boy just from a parallel class, and I know him pretty well. And another student is a girl even from another city, so she's a new girl for everything in our 'big city life'. Unfortunately I haven't met her yet due to me Olympiad. But they say she's pretty nice and clever. So, that's awesome! But there must a serious reason to change cities and schools just several months before the exams.
Oh man, wish me luck - tomorrow I'll have to make a monologue-dialogue for the 2nd part of the English Olympiad. And now I say goodbye leaving you with the song of the day - "Leaving Tonight" by "The Neighbourhood".

You fooled me from the start,

When you let me start to love you,

It's like a bunch of broken picture frames,

But

The photo still remains, the same,

I thought it'd be easy to run,

But my legs are broken.

All alone,

All we know,

Is haunting me,

Making it harder to breathe.

I'm leaving tonight,

I'm leaving tonight,

I'm leaving tonight,

I'm leaving tonight,

I'm leaving tonight,

I'll be gone in the morning.

I saw it from a far,

But my eyes have always fooled me

It looked to me like all the sidewalks started walking.

I swear to God the voices wouldn't shut up,

I figured it all to be love,

But this isn't lovely.

Be brave, be lovely
