CAS Plan year 13 - Vol 1.

Creativity

-As I mentioned before I like cooking... My dad is a great cook and the family cooks every weekend. My goal is to be the main chef from now on and learn to cook Hungarian Foods just like my dad does. I want it to be the same, and if it is not, we'll always do it next time :) I don't really have an exact plan which foods I'm going to make since it depends on our mood what we want to eat on weekends, but I will be updating my cooking every weekend! Of course we don't only eat Hungarian meals and it is not only my dad who cooks so if there's the case of cooking something else with my mom I will still do it. Cooking is important for several reasons. First off to pass on what my parents know, and secondly I might just be interested to be a cook in my future. If there are two things which interest me for sure is Sport and Eating. Well this bit contributes to eating because I love food and if I'm going to be on my own once, I rather eat the recipies I'm used to than those which I find on the internet :)


Action

-Even though I go to the gym every day and my goal is always : to lift heavier, I never had a certain goal I wanted to reach until a deadline. Since september Im doing Intermittent Fasting on schooldays, I eat regularly on Weekends, but I had to get used to it at first. I was weaker but I now that I'm into it I feel great, and so my goals are the following:
-My 1.rep max bench never reached 110kgs. My goal is to reach it by Winter. I dont know if December or February but for sure when the Winter ends I want it to be my max (or even more)
-My deadlift should go as high as 150kg/8reps, now im doing 140 with straight back, and even though I could do 150kgs, my form is not good enough.
-I front squat with 90kgs/c. 10-12 reps, but then by the last set its always about 6. My goal is to do 4x12reps by the same deadline - winter.
-Last time was the first case I could military press with 60kgs/4x6reps, however only with Shaun's help I could do the last 1-2 reps. my goal is to be able to do it alone by winter



Service

-Weather Club last year was less interesting than it is going to be this time. Our CAS coordinator offered the opportunity, however we had to realize theres not much point in doing it for ourselves. He is gone and there are difficulties reoraginizing the Weather Club, but I will do the schedule today so We can start ASAP. Our goal is that by the end of the year we will have 3 climate maps which show 2010/2011/2012's climate changes every from day to day. We compare them and conclude whether the global warming has an effect on Moscow according to the data and will represent it either in the school newspaper, either on youtube. It is still waiting to be sorted out, however after I talked to the school-news' editor I can say more exact aims.

Cooking with Peter

I've been cooking quite a lot lately and cooking things which I kind of already knew how to cook before. My CAS coordinator however made a pretty good point today. CAS should be interesting, challenging and something new every time, therefore from now on I decided I would cook things I've never even tried before. My dad is a great cook of Hungarian foods and I love what he does, yet I can't prepare half of the meals he usually cooks. My goal is to turn his cookingg experience into legacy and pass it on in the family by learning his techniques throughout the year. My parents left to hungary about a week ago, and the evening before my dad arrived pretty late so he couldnt cook for me for the whole week. Therefore i started to prepare the planned meal, pörkölt. He eats it with noodles, I eat it with rice, but the main point was the stew itself. I prepared it in about two hours and it truly needed more wine in it (he would have put twice as much :) )but it actually was similar to what he did.

• I increased my awareness of my own advantages in cooking
• Undertook a new challange in a sense
• And developed a new skill of cooking beef in stews.

Here is a picture of how it looks ( I just finished the last serving today and forgot to take a picture of my own, however managed to take a picture of the pencakes I made as well for dessert. The only problem is that I made those before and were delicious already)

Summer - all CAS outcomes have been met :)

During the summer I was active as well. Unfortunatelly I made a video only on my training courses, however there was more. Dodri and I (my girlfriend) lived together, just the two of us, for a months or so, which left me with quite a lot of domestic work :) He worked all day, I was the woman at the house which meant I learned how to handle the laundry and washing machine, cleaned the kitchen after preparing meals almost daily - pencakes, meats, rice, pasta, pizza, stews...- discovered the awesomeness of cleaning the toilet and making sure everything was on its place, such as water in the earth for our plants at home. Since I did make a video, I was quite proud of it, not just because it is a tranformation video, but because this is my first video I actually had to cut and insert to music to. Not the best so far I know, but it is just another thing I learned over the summer. Just like my other videos, it is on youtube, and here is the link to it:

I also did a little something something for one of my best friends, tought him english, spoke with him almost every day to help him out for his further studies which also made me feel good since I didn't want to get out of shape as far as my english goes :)

Usually my sister lives at home, she is not with my mom, dad and me in Moscow, and doesn't really care about selecting any of our trash. Dodri decided to start it and I agreed, so as far as enviroment is concerned we did quite a lot of selecting: plastic bottles, just glasses, papers especially. We usually took it out to the selective trash once a week when my other friend came over with a car and it was easier to solve.

• I increased my awareness of my own strengths and ares for growth by learning further the secrets of film editing.
• Undertaken new challanges every day when I was at war with the laundry and flowers :)
• I also managed to plan my activity and do it - which meant at least 4 days in the gym every week- and it doesnt mean I didn't let go of myself, but still worked out!
• I might as well say I have shown commitment to the gym: If I do it in the summer - when I could be elsewhere with friends -, doing it in schooltime (every day on schooldays and weekends) and probabaly will for the rest of my life as long as I'm able to and I'm healthy. I love it too much...
• I have engaged with issues of global importance by selectively collecting the trash and considered ethical implications of my actons as well we might say
• And finally developed new skills when my mom told me how to cook snitzel ( I hope I'm writing it right), cakes, taught me to seperate dark from light when it came to washing clothes and all domestic actions.
