    Chicago! Chicago is een geweldige stad! Het is de derde grootse stad in Amerika, hoeveel Houston snap snel op. Bijna drie miljoen mensen wonen in de stad, en zes miljoen meer in de buitenwijken. Dat is meer dan helft van Nederlands in één stad! Chicago is een mooie stad. Het heeft sierlijke wolkenkrabbers en schone straten, en ligt vlakbij het grote meer Lake Michigan. De “Bean” (“Boon” en Nederlands) is een beroemd herkenningspunt. Het is een grote boonvormige spiegel die veel bekende gebouwen weerspiegelt. U kunt ziet het in de afbeelding hieronder. (De echte namen is “Cloud Gate”, of “Wolk Poort” en Nederlands. Niemand noemt het dat.) We hebben lekker eten! Deep-dish pizza (diep-schotel pizza?) heeft een dikke kaaslaag en bijgevuld met veel ingrediënten zoals peperoni, worst, spinazie en meer. Je zal vol zijn na een stukje! We ook hebben lekker bier, hotdogs, Italian beef (Italiaans rundvlees?), en alles wat je kan voorstellen. Ik hoop dat je hier snel reist! (I relied too heavily on Google Translate for this one, but I learned a lot in the process so I figured I'd post it anyways. Bedankt voor het lezen!)

    Ik heb twee honden Ik heb twee honden. De eerste hond is heet Maddie. Ze is een zes jaar oude beagle-basset hound mix met zwarte en witte bont. Ze houdt van geuren.

Hij houd van rent en speelt. Hij houd van blaft op alles. Wij zeggen "Rustig!" en "Blaft niet!" maar hij luistert niet. I heb ga nodig. Ik zal later schrijven meer over mijn honden. Alstublieft van lezing! (this is me mostly taking random stabs at how I think the grammar should go, apologizes if it's super unreadable!)

    Internship conclusion

    Before my internship, my knowledge of the advertising industry was minimal. and When it came to conducting online advertising, I knew nothing at all. Now that my two months internship is over, I feel like I have really ["really" is grammatically correct but not good in writing -- it just doesn't add much to the sentence.  Consider "truly", or just omit it completely] learned a lot. During the first three weeks, I became familiar with the daily routine, so I can’t say that this internship was challenging or that I had to put a lot of hard work. After a few weeks, I began hoping for a wider variety of assignments to keep myself busy and motivated. What’s more, I felt like my work did not matter as much as I expected and I felt I could've put my potential capability to a better use, (but that’s just a matter of my ambitions [there's nothing grammatically wrong with this fragment but it sounds weird, maybe "but perhaps that's just my ambitions talking"]). However, my internship also enlightened me about finding a job in the future, and I discovered myself in a deep way while focusing more on my merits [this sentence is also a little confusing, might be better to rework]. I found myself interested in project planning as I am meticulous [This is a matter of choice.  "Scrupulous" works but it's kind of a rare word, so I thought "meticulous" was better.  Others may disagree with me.] enough to pay attention to details. Therefore, I would love to go in that direction.

    Hot water shut-off

    Summer is a good season. There are long sunny days and short warm nights. The air is filled with different floral smells. You can hear the different sounds of birds . You can wear lightweight clothing and outdoor shoes, such as dresses, shorts, T-shirts and shirts with short sleeves [editor's note: T-shirts are typically short-sleeved], sandals and flip-flops. You can eat ice-cream in the street without being afraid of freezing and getting sick. However, in my country there is one thing that brings gloom to some summer days; hot water shut-off. Perhaps it's strange (and I don't know if there is something similar in other countries) but in Belarus and Russia that is exactly what happens and it happens in the summer. It is somehow connected with the central heating system, which was built in Soviet times; as far as I know this system has very long pipes through which hot water is brought to our homes. And These pipes are repaired every year so that in the winter people aren't without heating and hot water. But, in summer, [we've already established that this happens in the summer] The period of life without hot water can last from two weeks to a month and a half. During this time, you have to stock up with a huge number of pots to heat the water in them. You'll also need a ladle to use as a shower. [I kind of reworked this entire sentence to make it read a little better but I may have changed it too much] Only so you can wash yourself.[Might consider "All this just to wash yourself", but I felt this sentence was unnecessary] Sometimes I think I don't live in the 21st century. There is so much technology around, but I have to heat the water in pots on the stove and shower with water from a ladle. [Might also consider "but here I am heating water in pots and showering with a ladle] )))[Not sure what ))) means, is that a smiley?]  Sometimes I think that this is less about preventive maintenance of pipes and more about testing the patience of the population. [again I may have changed too much here]

    This is my first day of daily notes. I promised myself I would write a minimum of five sentences here about everything: my job, my friends, good things, traveling, and even about my problems. The curious thing I've learned is that not only will it help me to improve my writing skills, it will also help me to improve my speaking skills, because both writing and speaking are used for spreading our thoughts. People speak in their heads when they write something. That is an interesting fact because I do it myself without noticing. There is a rule that people should follow to improve their English; one should think in English. That is not easy for me as Russian is my native language.

    My experience in the US

    So... the spring quarter ended a couple weeks ago, and it's been three years since I first came to the US.  While studying abroad there, I learned three invaluable things:

    1. There is no escape from the rain in Washington, except during the summer.
    2. Dunkin' Donuts doesn't exist on the West Coast, or so it seems.
    3. Taking an English poetry class is a nightmarish experience, though I magically got an A.

    Anyways, I still have more than a year to go until the study abroad program is officially done. I am looking forward to seeing the renewed version of this list at the end of next year.
