... so, it's Klara, right?

Hello y’all!

Because I’ve never really read any blogs or actually “followed” someone on one, the answer is pretty clear why I never  thought  about starting a blog to let people know me better - but OK, let’s give it a try …

The name for my blog is Lara without K because most of the people who I introduced myself to didn’t quite get my name right. I could definitely count on the 3^rd try to clear things up – that I was Lara and not Klara, finally. I didn’t found out yet where the problem is; maybe I have a weird accent, perhaps I don’t sound that clear in my English, German or B/K/S language, should I speak louder or with my mouth wider open? Nah. I’ll just say: “Lara, you know, like in Tomb Raider”.  Things mustn’t get boring, right ;).

My mother and I in summer of 95'

I’m a Slovenian 22-year-old Aquarius with her mind maybe a little bit off but with her heart in the right place. I was born and still live in Maribor, the second biggest city in Slovenia. In my country, I was a part of the first generation (93’) of children, who went into 1^st class with 6 instead of 7 years of age. So, I went to primary school for straight 9 years, but I think I turned out just fine. I'm still very close to my family and doubt that that will ever change (even after they send me to a 9-year-lasting primary school ^^).

In high school things got a bit complicated. I failed my first year at “Prva Gimnazija Maribor” (First Gymnasium in Maribor) because of so many doctor/specialist appointments and not being able to attend my classes regularly. For months I was transferred from Maribor Hospital to Ljubljana Hospital and back. Only one doctor seem to know what has been going on with me … I got the diagnose Lupus or SLE. After almost 8 years of taking meds, countless doctor appointments my disease is in “remission” so I can study at UNI Graz in peace and hope for the best. They say: “The disease isn’t curable …”, I say: ”… for now!”

My passion was photography, drawing and writing poetry. I’ve inadvertently put these things aside (boyfriends and stuff) but I’m definitely going back on that train. I love group sports, not so much with kicking sth. (my legs get all bruisy so fast) than playing with hands (such as volleyball, tennis, basketball, badminton etc.). I feel very nature-near, so that I would rather spend the vacation outside in a tent than a fancy-trillion-star-hotel. I Like making handcrafted things, I think I may be a bit OCD-like :D, or I’m just a really neat girl who likes her things in their place and who gives you, a stranger on the bus, a tissue because your nose is running and it’s getting her nerves J.
