__{1}__ I’ve been registered on this site since the 23d of August, but I haven’t written an entry so far. My mind tells me that it’s caused by my laziness, but I’m inclined to think that the reason is a lack of inspiration. I’m writing this post because I have free time. Actually, I have a lot of homework to do, but it’s late, and I shift this duty on tomorrow. My friends are busy, and even my parents are not at home, therefore there is no one to speak with me. Well, it’s the very time to determine a theme of this entry. I’m not a master in essay writing, and I think the text will be rather boring, but I have to practise. It would be wise to write the first post of mine about me. My real name is equal to my nickname, and I’m nineteen. I live in a very beautiful city called Saint-Petersburg (Russia), which is located on the Baltic Sea. My flat is far away of the centre of the city, and it takes half an hour to get to my university by a subway. Hm… of course, I didn’t mention that I’m studying at SPbSU of Information technologies, mechanics and optics, and my major is applied informatics in economics. I’m a second-year student now. I hope my future work will be related with information functions of economics, for instance, with a networked economics (I’m not sure this name is right, never seen this before) or data bases in banking. I have no special hobbies. But I like to spent my leisure with books. It usually doesn’t matter what to read. However, my schedule is very inconvenient this term, so I haven’t got enough time to meet my friends, not to mention reading. My favourite books are “The Lord of the Ring”, Neil Gaiman’s creations, and, of course, Harry Potter series (I have a lot of arguments for someone who thinks it’s just a fairy tale for children). I don’t like Russian classic literature, and the reason is the way it was showed at school: from the theory of literature point of view. But, I think, “The Master and Margarita” and “Quietly flows the Don” are worth the time you spend on reading. If I have enough spare time I watch the TV. I prefer fun TV shows, for example, “The Simpsons” or “Futurama”. I seldom watch films, but horrors and fantasy are very attractive for me. “Saw”, “The Prestige”, “Stardust” and “Pan’s labyrinth” are the movies I like to advise for people who search for an interesting and unusual films. OK, I have to get a grip on me! I hope I express my thoughts properly.

Yeah... But I don't want to live anywhere but in SPb :) And my parents don't know any language instead of Russian.

My great granny is a Finn! :)) So funny! If your great granddad is a Finn you may live in Finland. :) But... yep, it's quite difficult to get such long visa. I think that there are a lot of people from St-Petersburg who have Finnish blood. :)

Thank you, Anny! You’re absolutely right, the university is not far from the Gorkovskaya station. It’s not so famous as St. Petersburg State University, but it has just received a status of national researching university, and I hope its administration will spend new state subsidies wisely. I have some Finnish blood in my veins – my great grandfather was from Finland :)

Alexey, it's great! Your city is St-Petersburg!? That's cool! It's my city. I was born there. I wait when I'll can visit it. But... I don't know such uni - SPbSU of Information technologies, mechanics and optics. I beg your pardon. But I guess it's quite good uni. Oh... may be I know it. It's not far from the Gorkovskaia station, yep? I was there 10 or 12 years ago... So, I don't like russian classic literature too. :) It's a good that my mum doesn't hear me. :) 'cause she is a teacher of russian literature in Finland. I like "Harry Potter" stories... haha. Yep, I agree with you that these books are not only for children. To sum up I wanna say that your English is perfect!
