    Night Night. I should go to bed, but I can't sleep. So many happens last days. Firstly I had psychodrama lessons. We stadyed on our own material and I worked with my troubles. It was high, shockingly and srong. I love this psychoterapist technic so much. We worked with our deeply buried emotions, meanings, metaphors. We had a trance experience. Well. If you girl and grew up in Russia - you know - you never can be angry. Girls must be nice, pretty, good and gentle. Fight? Nevermind. It's only for boys. Agressive? So the awful things! But our agressive basically is only a energy. Our inner force, our spring of resources. It was cut down. You should be girl. You should be gentle. And I worked. I worked with my body-blocks. When I became angry - firstly I froze. Secondly - I feel a spasm in my throat. After that I feel that I can't say anything. And, finally comes headache.It's not only psychosomatics symptoms - it's my cell. Cell for my agressive, cell for my energy, my force. I know, it's sounds very strange, but it's true. We worked with only one block. About 1.5 hours. And I remembered all my childhood, my first teacher, my grandmother and so many simple things... as - "Masha, you are not a boy, don't climb on tree", "Masha, you shouldn't elevate the voice", "Masha don't do this things, Masha don't do another things". Everytime, everywhere. I was very energy child, very clever and very straight. And if somebody did bad things for me - I prefered fight, neither words. But it was ban. Very simple story, right? But i have cried for all 1.5 hour. And I found a backdoor for my force. It's unexplainably breathtakingly. This words, because it was very hard and strong. Secondly I have started english book. Not adapted for my english level. And I can read there! I can't stop, i want read more and more. Sure, I can't translate every word, but i can catch a meaning. And finally... In Moscow have been awful things today. A schoolboy killed his teacher. It's only one crime in our great city, in our country, but I sense very intensively - how world became crazy. Crime, murders, homophobian laws - it's something in air. Dangerous, another and another. But I'm going to a training court with my dog tomorrow, and I'll wake up early. I need go to bed. But I can't sleep...

    Mad time I had absolutely breaked head after our friday lesson. Two days I coudn't think about English. But new week started, and I should. We studied Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous tenses - and it is an awful tenses. We haven't any analogy in Russian. And I can't undrstand where and in what cases I need use this tenses. Ok. I have expirience of horse-riding. Should I use the Present Perfect or Past Simple, when I tell about it? I'm not riding now, I finised my education, but I have this expirience. And what's correct - "I have ridden on horeses for three years" or "I rode on horses for three years"? Or there are another terrible tenses to say it? My cat is lying on my knees, another cat is eating, dog is sleeping in hall. I'm writing this text - it's hard for me, I'm thinking over every word, but it is the only way to remember new words and grammar rules - when I speak i never think about grammar. Or I speak, or I think about rules. And I must know this rules, know so good, that I can use it without thinking. Well. I should to use this terrible Perfect tenses. I have studied English on intensive programm since New Year. I have never been in another country (except Ukraine), but I want to change it. I want to see the world, other people. I want to study in Canada university. And I have to get this language. I have given the really mad time to myself. Yesterday I acquainted with one woman. She is English teacher in another language-school, she's from Britain. She said - "English is simple first and hard second, Russian is hard first and easy second". I didn't believe. For me all language hard on first steps. But our meeting was a sign for me. I was on photography, I made photos of children who had a kind of music lesson - my friends doing something about music-stories, mix music and musical history, entertainment, games. Every lesson have a topic. This topic called "Five o'clock tea with Benjamin Britten from Great Britain, or Big Music of small country". And they invited Sarah - the teacher - on this lesson. I never thought that I can met english-native-speaker that time, but I had about 30 minutes trening in lestening and speaking. And English have started appear around me - I want or I don't want. Interesting time, hard time, mad time. A dayly photo? This one made on this music-lessons.

    Swimming head I had second English lesson today. Subject was idiomes and Present Simple and Continues tenses. I marked that I can uderstand Mike better. But after 2 hours listening my head was swimming. Really, I like this idiom, it's very true for my feeling. May be it's boring, but I really need to have some practice with grammar. I try to use only this tenses in my text today. My dog, Zarema, lying near me and looking on my cat. Cat looking on dog so scornfully, that I laugh. I'm hearing music - Placebo, "Post blue" and writing this text. I like music very mach, unimportant style, pop or rock, Russian, or English or French, or Spanish... And I like to find new expressive, strong music and singers. I found some last year. It's Putty Smith, Wax Tailor, Jay Khan, Gene Pitney, Amy MacDonald, Pentatonix, Brainstorm. My favorite song by Brainstorm is "May be". Brainstorm is a Russian singer who sing on English. And I really like Mylene Farmer. She had a show in Moscow last year, and I was here. She really fantastic, does she? Sometimes I feel that I never can use English grammar correct. But I remembered Russian grammar yesterday... Really, I never think about our grammar - I speak and all, but is really hard and unuderstandable. Do I use last word correct? I'm cooking it this moment. I'm going to a walk with Zarema. It's so cold outdoor! And one daily photo. I made it in Moscow metro.

    Russian bureaucracy I hate this. Yeah, I execrate every time that I need to go any government department. One bureaucrat looked on my passport not long ago and said that it's spoiled. It's not true, I think he had nothing to do. It's jast scruffy may be, not spoiled. And I can't did my point that time and went to passport office to change passport. The head sent me to cabinet 2, after stayed 2 hours at queue another head sent me to cabinet 4, after stayed hours at queue another bureaucrat sent me to cabinet 7... I stayed in queue about 6 hour for two papers and two signatore. They needed a copy of my old passport twice - and I went to street and looking for Xerox twice, when Xerox stayed in their cabinet. Well. New passport well be ready in two month. I was cold, evil and had ill. The queue were on draft. I'm very evil now. But... one more photo. It were in Moscow metro

    С Днём рождения, мама! (Часто спорят, с большой или маленькой буквы писать День рождения, но так как это уникальный праздник, особенный день, - часто встречается написание с заглавной. Это не правило, но допустимая норма) 

    День рождения моей матери был в среду, но мы отметили его вчера. В нашей семье в (Д)день рождения, мы решиаем что есть на ужеин и на десерт, и моя мама захотела бутерброды с беконом, латуком и помидоромами (вряд ли на все бутерброды использовался один помидор, скорее несколько :)) на ужеин. На десерт, она захотела торт с клубникойиками и сливками. Мой отец приготовил ужеин , а я испекла и украшсила торт.

    Когда мы пели "сС (как правило текст в кавычках пишется с большой буквы) (Д)днём рождения", наш собака, Берлин, (мы давали ему этот имя перед в честь музыканта Джефа Берлина, а не перед в честь города в Германии., Только хотя мать моей бабушкейи немка.) тоже пел с нами. Берлин - нашеа третийья собака, но  и (нет противопоставления, не нужно "но") каждемуой нашемуй собакему понравилосья петь эту песню "с днём рождения".

    Моей маме - сорок шесть лет, но люди часто думают, что мы - сёстры! Думаю, что может быть потому, что у моей мамеы хорошие гениы, или потому, что я почти неикогда не ношу макияж :)

     

    Отличный текст, и передаю привет твоей собаке от моей собаки :) Удачи!
