PDO 23-26 June. great time ever (english version)

Перевела для нашего flex'20 блога, думаю, тогда и сюда выложу. Наслаждайтесь ^^

Hello everyone, that’s again me, Alesya! As you can see, I’m turning better, I write here more often :D Today I’m going to tell you about our PDO – maybe the best time, spent with other FLEXers J

As many of you know, the PDO is Pre-Departure Orientation, that means something like little courses for future subjugators of America J Actually, all the FLEX finalists gather together and go for 4 days to Nabran (resort in Azerbaijan), where they are taught how to behave themselves in the States, what kind of difficulties might gonna appear and what to do in these cases. What was absolutely awesome – everything was in informal conditions, very, very funny, in the evening we had comical games and everyone had a friendly attitude towards everything and each other. In general, I’m delighted! :3

To say the truth, at the first day everyone was very distant, gathering in little groups of people, that they more or less knew. But then, after some time, we became real friends..)) We laughed, rejoiced, talked a lot, it was just great! All the girls and guys are very interesting; with any of them you can find the common language, something to talk about. After the PDO I understood, that FLEX chooses people very right – everyone is very active, cheerful, real LEADERS! J

And one more thing: before the PDO the FLEXers of previous years confidently told me that PDO is one of the most interesting parts of FLEX, that this is something incredible. And I thought – nothing special, just 4 days with other children which are also going to USA and that’s all, everyone will go theirs ways. But passed through this by myself, I got that I was very wrong.  We made veeeery good friends, we became very close to each other, we became a real family. FLEX family. And I’m proud to have such an astonishing family! J

Some photos you are below, in the previous russian version of post. 

The others you can see on my facebook page.

You know.. I’ll never forget these 4 days. And I already miss all of my friends, my family. I hope, we’ll gather all together not once in the future and remember these cool days. I love you, yeah :3

P.S. Quoting my facebook status from June, 26^th:

“Sooo guys, now the PDO is over, and you know - it was just great! I have spent my best time there, all the activities, hang outs, even sessions that are boring everywhere, they were awesome here! Our super teachers - Tyson, Caroline,Ozal, Ayan, Tamella - we fell in love with ya))) Ozal's crazy, very funny toilet game, Nadir's "scary" stories in the dark before curfew, Firuze&Fatya&Turan's night company and eating at night, Eltaj's craziness that I like so much, Shukur's "nikchemniy and kchemniy sifet", Nicat's yoga, "pechenki" from guys, Farhad's crying in role of Yusif's host mother, teaching Orkhan russian language, Kanan's "American smile", singing "FLEX, FLEX, FLEX on the beach" while walking there to make a great bonfire, alumni surprise "American dream", funny evening water games - EVERYTHING was excellent! I wish I would never come back from PDO and I gonna miss all of you. But it's not the end, it's just a begging of real FUN! :) I love you, flex'20 ♥ Thumbs up, cheeks out!!! “
