learn Russian
Begginings 1 month ago

I’ve been learning for over two weeks now (five days a week, three hours per day) and I’ve just received the results from the first test – my score was 91%, so I guess I’m on a good way to complete this goal… in next five years or so ;P.



Be a better friend
Well, I think I've finally made some progress 3 months ago

Some may say that friendship is all about caring for another person – and they are right but they miss one important thing: no good comes from caring about them is you can’t find any way to help them or at least show them that you care. For quite a long time that had been my problem. I usally got scared of others problems because I thought that I don’t have much experience with family matters, love problems and so on, so the only way in which I could help my friend was helping them with their homework etc. Recently, I learnt not to panic and to calmly think of some solution – if I don’t know it, maybe I know someone who can help or I remember how someone has coped with a similar problem or at least I can point out some things that my friend has missed, so making the decision will be easier for them.
At the same time I still have a lot to learn, especially how to be patient and not to expect instant gratitude, since people tend to be more self-absorbed when they have problems. I also need to learn how to express my own problems and expectations more clearly.



enjoy my last year of high school (read all 2 entries…)
Tomorrow 6 months ago

That’s it I’m graduating tomorrow. I feel really ambivalent about it – excited and sad at the same time. I guess it’s normal. This school has really been a great place for me – I had some really wonderful teachers (it’s rare to hear one saying this about their teachers, isn’t it?), meet some true friends and had a lot of great times (some hard times, too). I know that I’ve learnt and experienced a lot.
