Two busy weeks - cemetery - part I July and August are students' most beloved months. It's time to relax after almost a whole year of studying very hard. For the last two weeks I was like a visitor in my own home. I used to eat breakfast, leave house, then come back very late, get to bed and again the same was being repeated. I do like when something happens and my schedule is full of a variety of activities, especially during summertime. That's why I became a volunteer and spent a whole week on a public cemetery. The workcamp was organized by a local Association of Friends of Our City in order to renovate old forgotten monuments and graves from 19th and 20th centuries. All the volunteers were given lectures on photography, stonecraft and were also taught how to search documents in archives. Our task was pretty uncomplicated. We had to make a list of graves, measure their length, height, width and write information down on special forms. Also, we were obligated to take photos of each monument and attach them to the filled in forms. In addition, volunteers should have found some information about people buried in selected graves but it was possible only if they had been dead for a century or more, because archives can usually store documents older than 100 years. It was quite a weird experience. As for me, a cemetery had been a quiet place where I had visited members of my family who had passed away. It had been kind of mysterious place, but then, I had to walk on graves' surfaces, eat there, talk to people loudly - just like the sacred sphere was removed. However, I got used to that atmosphere and finally everything was normal.
