First three month in University Well, I don't know what to begin with... Actually, the student life is not at all what I expected. Not worse or better, just different. And it's good! I like it very much! I didn't think I'd find many friend so easily but I've done! :) There are so many interesting people, almost everyone in my course are from different republics. We even have one girl from Yemen and other from South Korea. All of them have their own temper and their characters differ from each other very much. And I met a guy, a weird one, but he is so broad-minded that everytime we meet I know something new. He's cool but for someone who doesn't know him he's strange. Ok, maybe. But I've never met such a self-confident and clever person comparing to my ex-classmates. Actually, he was the first one with who I was discussing the Big Bang Theory. And not just sitcom on TV but the real theory.^^ As Kazan is not my native town and I'm here just for studying in university, I live in the dorm with two other girls. It's pretty cool that we're not quarreling. My groupmates live in the same appartment block so we often gather together in evenings playing guitar and singing or whatever. Almost every week we have different events in the university and in the dorm as well. That's great because no one of my friends studying in other cities or universities has something like that. Since I study International Relations I have to learn history and theory of diplomacy. Awful subject, as for me. But at least I'm studing German now, as I wished:) And if I'm lucky, I'll go to the Japanese courses. Looking back, I can say I reassured that everything is not like what it seems at the beginning. The best examples are teachers. One who at first seemed to be an unpleasant person then appeared to be the loyal one. And the other who always smiled and was nice to us now is ... khm...*censored* Anyway, I'm glad I'm studying here now and that I've found so many interesting people^_^

My short trip to Kazan Federal University Today I visited Kazan. It's not so far from my native town, about 3 hours by bus, so it didn't take much time to get there. The weather was cloudy and rainy and everything around me weren't as bright and colorful as I used to see it. Nevertheless, I think Kazan isn't a bad city to live in. And I have to live in it soon. This summer I've left school and needed to choose my way of continuing further education. I chose Kazan Federal University and today I applied to the university. Since I've always been keen on foreign languages, I will be studying international relationships. Now it seems to me interesting and attractive so I hope I won't regret it in the future. And the most pleasurable thing for me is that in Kazan there is The Center of learning Japanese language! (or I just don't know how it's called right:)) Anyway, learning Japanese is my dream and finally I've got such an opportunity! I'm so happy! Of course, I've tried to study this language by myself but it differs from learning with a qualified teacher. I'm looking forward to begin learning new things and meet new people, although it scares me a little. I wish I could find new friends as soon as possible. :)
