Extreme Continentual Climate Hi, I live in Siberia. Two days ago it was +25 and everything around was dry, sun was shining and it was like a real summer day. Yesterday it was +3 and cold wind was blowing. Today I woke up and looked out of the window. IT IS SNOW! SNOW EVERYWHERE! My thermometer says that the temperature is -2. Today is the 22nd of April, by the way.

Blood donating Today I tried to be a donor. For the first time I donated blood in autumn, so it was not so fearful for me this time. I thought that the level of hemoglobin would be low and nothing more, thus I am quite a healthy person. But I can`t donate my "golden" blood because of my weight! :( When I returned home, I searched an information and making different countings found out that it doesn`t matter to weight 52 or 55 kg, because the per cent of the hemorrhage is also the same - less than 10%. This number is very little so the way one feels depends only on his/her qualities. That is why I was so sad, because I really want to be a donor, to help people who need my O(+) blood.

Habits I went to bed at 23:00 or so these days, that`s why I think that I had formed a habit. Right now it is close to 0:00 and I`m deadly sleepy. Yes, it must be good for my health and psyche, but I haven`t understood it yet. Wish you a peaceful evening and a long night! :)

我很想我的汉语水平提高 我学习汉语已经3个年，但是我只第一个年学习了比较努力。现在我是不好的学生：不做作业，不可以说得很快，有时候听不懂，不写汉字，不去我们中国的朋友这儿套链。 我非常惭愧不知道应该做什么。怎么复习怎么把汉语水平提高。
