Fourth Week In the US Many days have passed since I wrote my last notebook entry. I've had a bunch of problems with my new housing and with my activity in the university. However, gradually things become better. I've been in the US for three weeks or so. I got the impression that my language became worse, because I used same words and just several constractions daily. Then I noticed that on the other hand it became much better, because I started speaking faster and confidently. There's just no time to study it in the way I did it being in Russia. However, I push myself to do it, especially these days, when hurricane Florence makes fun of us. Classes were cancelled, people were evacuated, although the hurricane went other way, probably South Carolina mostly. The sky is dark and it rains but it's far from the expectations that were a few days before. I heard that officials renamed the hurricane to the subtropical storm. I'm dissapointed a little bit, although it's better for everyone. Students are pretty weak. I was shocked first, but then realized a local structure of the educational process. Guys also got used a little to me. It seems that our work might be very interesting and challenging. A smooth sea never makes a skillful sailor.
