    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Дэвон. Я учусь в университете Техаса. Я на первом курсе. Я на факультете компьютера (компьютерных наук) и на факультете исследований женщин и родов (странно звучит... это случайно не Gender studies?). Мне нравится читать, писать, и программировать. Я хочу стать программистом. Я хочу говорить по-русски плавно (бегло)  и познакомить ("узнать много людей" или лучше "познакомиться со многими людьми")  


    До Свидания! (Мы обычно в конце пишем не до свидания, а пожелания, например: "Счастливо", "Всего хорошего", "Всего доброго", "Удачи") 


    А вообще хорошо написано :-) Well done)

    I want to be there... If you would like to meet good friends in Russia now - go to Moscow, find a huge crowd of people and walk with them around squares, sing their songs near monuments and afrer sit in a bullpen for few hours or days... and I swear there is no any another place in Russia when you will find so many adequate and nice people. I really want to be there now... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SA7GnXsbqg&feature=relmfu http://drugoi.livejournal.com/3727709.html

    Hello, mr. McDhaibhidh. I think no doubts in some sense you are right. But, in my opinion, no one society can exist without something that makes it common. There are some notions that are really significant for the Americans, for example such as the Frontier. America was born as the society of people dissatisfied with the order of the Old World, running from a religious persecution. Then when the dissatisfied people appeared in the new-created US they also went to unsettled territories to build their own order and so on. The hardest guys went to the West (another notion of American character) There they built their houses and the image of true Americans - hard, self-reliable people that can provide and protect themselves. The West is significant in a culture of the Americans. I even don't speak about westerns. Do you remember Howard's Conan? Was he accidentally a man from the West?

    Useful phrases to begin the sentence Hello my friends could you advise me some useful phrases to begin the sentence when you write something? (I'm also not sure that this phrase is grammatically correct) For example: It is... There is... There are... It is noticeable... Also, In Russian we have the expressions such as: "I would pay may attention to..., or I want to mark that...etc" But as I know it's incorrect to use these constructions when you write something.

    Expediency’s Substantiation of the participation in educational program of the studies abroad. (I know, that the title is horrible, but I don't know another way to translate this clerical lexicon:-) Norwegian University of Science and Technology is one of the best European universities; it is in the triple of the most prestigious universities of Norway. The scientific school of Political Science in NTNU is developing by the Faculty of Social Science and Technology management that is biggest in the university. The political scientists of NTNU give the priority to the International Politics, Public Policy and Administration, English and American political system in the context of the relationships with the European Union. The experience of Norway in this area is interesting to me because of the several aspects. First of all, I would pay my attention to the International Politics. Norway is one of the most peacekeeping nations in the whole world. It has a significant experience of the balance between Anglo-American interests, continental Europe and Russia (Norwegian scientists call it the balance between the three poles of influence). In the second, the experience of Norway in the social-democracy is unique. Moreover, in my opinion it’s really important for the domestic Political Science because Russia has been a capitalistic state almost never. In the third, the courses about the national political systems in NTNU are conducting by the teachers-native inhabitants of those countries (for example the USA, the UK, Norway, Japan etc). For me it’s an unique opportunity to learn specific features of those societies using the most reliable sources of the information. The last in the list, but not in the significance is improving of English language’s skills. The conversation in English is a basis of the studies and everyday life. English language in Norway is ubiquitous. It’s using in all spheres from scientific to cultural. Even movies and media information in English is not translated. The results that I will acquire after the probation I plan to use in my future professional activities. Now, my priority is the question of developing of domestic Public Policy and Administration. For writing my specialist’s thesis and future researches I have to take into consideration the experience of Russia’s west political partners. So, I’m studying it now.
