First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Okay. I'm learning English using this site because I have no time to go somewhere to learn it in a group or with an individual teacher. I combine work with another work, sometimes helping my older sister with her kids and I have no time for such a luxury like being student again. 

I need to practise my English in order to get a better job. In my town (лучше - city) (Saint-Petersburg, Russia) that's not easy. Hopefully, I will get lucky. One month of unsuccessful searching tells me that I'm in trouble. No one is offering a job with decent pay. That's a real pity. 

That's why I'm trying to learn something that will help me, including studing foreighn languagies, accounting and so on... Anything. 

Often I catch myself thinking about how I don't even want a new job. I don't want my former job either. All I want is to have enough money to live like I want - to look after my sweet home and of course after myself, make a trip anytime I want, record the songs, and publish some (fixing?) books. But all of these tasks might be done only according to plan: first I need to get a job with a good salary. I made a list and checked everything off: done, done, done. Let's go.

Be careful with idiotic idiomatic expressions, they often don't translate quite right.  :)
