Happy New Year 2026!

  Ok, when I'm writing this is literally 3:14 AM, 31st of December 2025. So, it's not really the new year hype right now... But I decided to write this post in time, just in case I will forget to do so.

Now 2026 will be an important year for me, I will have my 8th grade test in June which will decide at what school I will be going to, and also, it will decide if I get a Framework 16 or not. I swear I will be studying this year like never before with the help of our friend ChatGPT. Now you might be questioning yourself about my decision of studying with an AI, but this might be my only solution considering that Romania has worst education than Czechia. Which let's be real, it is embarrassing for a country like Romania having this establishment.

But maybe that won't be for long. I have a history of sending emails to the government of Romania regarding my concerns for the education they give. And you know what they did? Tried to eliminate me by redirecting my email to the local institute of monitoring schools, and they called my school saying that I should be expelled. I did not say anything bad in the email back at the sart of 2025, so I don't know why they did this, only to "eliminate" the voice?

Anyways! Now that 2026 came, I will study hard. And after I entered 9th grade, I will try joining programs like ERASMUS+ and FLEX so I can escape this broken mess of a school system!

By the way, if you have similar dreams or plans, I think this is the best time to start accomplishing some of them!

Merry Christmas!

 As I promised in the last post, here's my wishes for y'all a good Christmas and beautiful memories that will last forever!

Now this post won't be long, but it will contain a topic that became one of the saddest I've ever seen. I'm referring to the most recent one of kids no longer believing in Santa. It might have been a case in older years, but this year was the only one that I saw it with my own eyes.

I was scrolling trough YouTube Shorts to pass my time, when randomly I stumbled across a video with Santa in a mall just sitting by his own thoughts. It was a sad thing to see anyway! I was expecting that this would never happen, but I guess the iPads and the iPhones really kept the kids inside.

Now as I was writing this post something really unexpected happened. There were about 15 - 20 cars that stopped on the road in-front of my block, people from all kinds of age groups exited the cars and started singing Christmas song. Not with lyrics, but with instruments. As I learned from my mom, this is happening every year on our street. Which I have to say, it's a pleasant surprise to know! I don't think that this is a norm outside of Europe, or maybe just Eastern Europe, but this in my opinion adds some happiness to the beautiful holiday of Christmas.

Operation "Nordic Lock-in"

 You might be wondering about the title of this post, but it's real, I'm actually doing this!

Now, I might it called it an "operation", but it's more like a personal project were I'm trying to teach myself the nordic way with the help of ChatGPT (and maybe even Gemeni). And ditching the Romanian education way! It might have been improved along the years, but I'm not waiting until I'm like 50 to start understanding what is taught in school.

This thought started a few days ago, when I just found out that the Bosnian Mark is better than the Romanian Leu (RON). I took my question to ChatGPT, and instead of asking the question I had in mind, I started a whole therapy season with ChatGPT on the idea that Romania is a well-done (in the bad way) country when it comes to the management of it and other similar aspects. One of them being the education, which is already well behind most of the European systems. I mean come on! Even Bulgaria has better education (statistic wise) compared to Romania.

My conversation with ChatGPT carried on for the next hours. Until I realized that even if I sent an email to the ministry of education, the change would not happen for the next 20 ‐ 30 years. So, I took the responsibility into my own hands and started this personal project.

I will make sure to keep you guys updated regarding this project on the wiki and also on here. So, stay tuned and fallow the tag "Nordic Lock-in" for new posts about this subject! Also, I forgot to mention that I also started this project because I got a below passing note on the national evaluation simulation test. The real test is in the last week of June, so I think it's the best time to start this!

Also, there are only 4 days until Christmas (I will 100% make a post!), and just 11 days until 2026... Damn, that's sad.
