8.Free choice.

Now I'm siting in the nearest sushi bar for my home and just using it's wi-fi. Unfortunately, my internet connection has collapsed and I have to sit here, because I am obliged to complete a CDS project in Economics. 

It's not typical for me to complete a task  three days before deadline, but I'd better to it now, because I just can imagine when I can connect to the Internet next time for my laptop.

I decided to write about importance of doing nothing. First it sounds ridiclous, but just remember your last time dreaming of doing nothing.

This theme came to me after  watching some videos about doing nothing, they are cool, and if I manage to upload them here, I will definetely do it

Indeed, I bet doing nothing is extremely important in our fast-moving fussy life. Even now it's a kind of week holidays, I don't feel myself relaxed. I try to spend my free time actively and in different ways, however, I don't have enough time for leusure. But maybe I got used to going somewhere out, that it became like a habit for me, so I can say I need a new source of rest. Maybe, even doing nothing.

You will understand what I mean after wathcing these videos. I will give eigher vides or YouTube links.

7. English 201

This course is a kind of new experience for me. Now, I will tell what I really think about course and my progress.
 First of all, I noticed that this course is very useful for me. Now I am better in structure of the essay, much better than in school. It's extremely important not in English, but also in essays in Russian. For instance, in our economics essay. Before the course, I supposed I was quite ok in writing, as I have rather high grades and my FCE writing  was ok. Indeed, everything appeared not so glowing. Now, according to my grades I understand that I fall behind a bit. The main reason of it I bet that I spend not enough time on my assignments and frequently I don't understand what I have to do.
What did I enjoy? One of the most memorable was writing with music(Pink Floyd). I do dare say that I like our English, despite of the fact that it's the first class on Tuesday, which stats in 9 a.m. I can't help fall asleep due to lack of sleep.
My goals for the second part of semester are to  make my essays better than now, to gain some new experience and the last but not least to improve situation with my grades as much as possible.
All in all, I like this course.

Valery's birthday

I found nothing more interesting than to write about my she-friends. Yeah, it's banal, but i dedicate my blog to them, because they nevertheless important for  me.
In my life I actually have a lot acquaintances but only few friends. I bet it's ok when you can really trust only a few amount of people. But that quite strange that everyone i will mention above is one of my closiest friends for about 2-3 life, someone even less. But I feel that it's not so essential for me. Most important, that I really appreciate our relationships

Agata

Last school year
With Adelya next to our home

I am talking about Valery, Adelya and Agata. They always suppost me despite of the fact that we are different, sometimes contradictory. But main point in my relatoins with my friends is a the comfort and and security that I feel when this one of them.
I feel sorry that it's too late now, and I am falling asleep, so I won't talk about each of them. Just know that I do value my friendship with this three people.

5. Unusual story

Having read this post's theme I was eager to tell a story that really scarified me in the moment, when it happen.
I was about 6 years old, and my mom asked to go to the market with her to help a bit.
So that market was quite far from our home, as a result we went there by car. We arrived, but unfortunately there were no free parking places, in weekend all parkings are usually occupated. Mum decided to start parking  in second line, that cars from the first one couldn't move away if the "second" is staying.
So we created the second line, but mom give her mobile number on windscreen, so that the "first" car could connect with us.
We were doing our shopping about two hours, we also have forgotten about our way of parking, but nobody has called yet. Eventually we did everything and came back to the parking. Already everything has been ok. Mum throught away the note with her number, and started the engine. But then she remembered that she has forgotten to buy something else. Having told me that it will take her about two minutes, she leaved me in empty car, and I was watching her approaching to market entry. And even in that moment the owner of the "first" car came back.  It was man, in his middle 50th, with rough exterior and abrasive manner of speech. He asked me to open the car, but in fact it wasn't closed. I refused, and told him that Mum will be there in a minute. Despite of this fact, he stated abusing her, and tryed to open our car on his own. I immediately jumped to the leader's seat and try to do my best in closing the door inside. I was really afraid and scared hence I didn't notice how everything has happened. All in all, mom returned and we wentt home.

It's extremelly hard to impart all my fear in that moment, because now i understand this case what quite ok, and this story appeals to me ridiculous. But when i was 6, it really turned upside down everything in my head. It's one of the most remarkable scaring stories in my life.

4. Free choice.Do you believe in fate?

Do you believe in fate?

If you asked me 2 years ago or even a year ago if I believe in fate, I would, no doubt, say no! I truly believed that a human makes his own life and nothing aside can influence it. I really supposed that nothing happens just because it should happen. But I bet I became a fatalist, to some extend. This story that has changed my views began a year ago, when I, as on ordinary school-leaver, was worry about economic olympiads and entering the university. Time was passing, and I with my friendы participated in different economics competitions. One day we even flied in Siberia, this journey also is a piece of fate in my life. I took the lead in going there, but when it was time to go I badly didn’t want. Fortunately, my classmates persuaded me and I now am sincerely grateful for it, as I managed not only to be ok in economic tasks, to get a prize, but also made friends with some afterwards nes-classmates. But it’s an inessential piece of fate I bet.

After this “cold” adventure, it was time for vseross there I failed. At that moment I felt empty, but I never had a thought that I will give it up. But what is the most fatal in this story is that there still was one chance to enter nes, and I suppose it was impossible one. I passed my exams but still didn’t have enough points to enter nes with relief. I started to take into account other variants, but just a week before finishing the whole story I found out that the circumstances have changed. It was so quick, but as a result I entered a programm.

I still do think, it just should have happened, and it happened. After that I started to dedicate greater part of reasons of different events to the fate. For me, fate exists and the elder I become the more I believe in predestination.

3. Special place

I remember that in childhood the most remarkable place for me was one park, which was close to my previous home. I don’t remember it in details, but I will try to tell you about this place

I was near 5 years old, and just opposite to my windows was quite a big park. Park was situated in ravine, and there was a plenty of trees. It was my favorite place to spend time in, although it was rather ugly. There was a pond in the middle of the park, but the water in it smells so terrible that it was not wise to go down to the water. I always spend time before afternoon there, when this park was full of different sounds, birds’ singing, and children crying, so I can’t say that it was calm and quiet. It was a kind of sacrificed place for me and my peers, I bet just because it was spacious and we can play wherever we want. Moreover, my mum hated this place, and we had a walk there not as frequently as I want.

I have no idea why it is special for me, but it was my first thought, when I read a theme of a blog. Now I go to this park very seldom, but every time I go, pictures from my childhood strike me. 

2. Free choice. Nothing original

          I really still have no idea, what I gonna write about. I suppose my post about music or cinema could seem a bit ridiculous just because I have no particular favourite music style or film.

As David asked me why I think Moscow is too fussy sometimes, so i suppose my second blog will be dedicated to my city. Maybe, to some extend  it would be interesting for a vast majority of my potencial readers, because a lot of my classmates have been living in Msk just for several weeks.

Metro in rush-hour

So, firstly, I really sometimes become fed up of living in Moscow and wanna move to any European calm country. People here are extremely quckly and even impudent, and Msk’s slogan is “who isn’t in time, those is late”. For instance, in subway approximately in 8-9 a.m. you will  with 100 per centage of probability see such a picture.  There are same thing in outpatients’ clinics, clubs, traffic jams.  Queueing up is part and parcel of living in a huge city, especially in Msk.

Secondly, what I want to say in my post is to recommend some variants how to spend an evening and where to do, but my pieces of advice don’t pretend to be a guidebook.

To start with, not taking into account Red Square and Arbat, having a walk along boulevard ring is essential I suppose as far as visiting some small parks as Neskuchii garden, skver u Patriarshich. They are very cute and lovely. Also now in September, as the weather allows, you can have a walk on a water bus along Moscow-river, and describing outdoors activities it’s worth mentioning Moscow Zoo. Personally, I don’t keen on zoos, but a hike there can be really entertaining.

I’m a theatre-goer, I try to be in theatre as frequently as possible, but there so many theatres in Msk, so it seemed to me that I haven’t visited even a half. My favourite  ones are Sovremennik and Vakhtangov’s one. And, no doubt, Bolshoy and Maly Theatres are the most famous ones.

Parks. They are no so well-equipped as in London or NYC, but they are full of quite antique architecture and look like green oasises in a loaded city. Futhermore, at weekend a lot of different activities are held, sometimes in can be even concerts.

Park Tsaritsino

Gipsy

And last but not the least part of my narrative is clubs and night life. Youngters can really party hard in Msk, moreover, they often start in pre-party places, for instance, such as the famous ones - Dendi Café or any restaurants by A.Novikov, and after this go to a club. Clubs are various that I don’t see any point in listing them. I really like Gipsy.

To sum it up, you can your own favourite places in Msk, that will match your taste and means. I didn’t mentioned musems or sport matches and so on, just because I think I have to fihish it up. I believe my post was at least a bit informative, and I bet you will enjoy these or other places in Moscow, even despite having a huge homework to do after comeback.
