Successful people

From time to time, I'm deep into poetry and can't get out until I create something. Now, at 2:43 AM, I decided to share one of my poems with my small audience :) Hope it will be useful and inspiring.

Successful people

Climbing the mountain’s top
The man decided to start.
From now on his actions and dreams
Are not separated, apart.

He approached the mountain’s foot,
Where he saw the sentence on stone:
“I’m starting to climb the mountain.”
Now man knows, he is not alone.

After hours and hours of climbing,
When the man’s weakened belief,
He notices another writing:
“I was here.”- on stone under leaf.

Now he knows, someone went even further,
And again his power is high,
Just because of simple idea:
“Someone did, so can do I!”.

But no matter how hard he tries,
And comes over the struggles and pain,
There are written just simple 3 words,
“I was here.” - irrefutable claim...

“How hardy indeed is this person?!
Would be great, if he helps me to climb.
How he does that? I can’t imagine!”
- were thoughts in exhausted man’s mind...

Almost dead and very tired,
He slowly reaches the top of the stone
To see the shocking and striking scene,
“I was” - written there alone.

And he sees someone laying in front,
With small piece of the chalk in his hand.
Person’s legs were faded to blood,
So were knees, tied up with the band...

Only now man understood,
He was blind and wrong in his thoughts!
Only now he sees all the struggle,
That resulted in simple 3 words.

And indeed when we see someone high,
We are somehow blind at all.
We don’t think of all the struggles,
We don’t look behind the wall...

It's all about teamwork.

What do you do, when you are too exhausted, because of all responsibilities you have? When you are down and have no more force to get up and continue living? When the whole world turns against you, but you have to keep going? Will it be difficult for you? The answer is of course yes, but only if you are alone. Everything completely changes its colors, when you are not. In this post, I would like to write about the importance of having fellow travelers in your life.

Today is the November 1st, which means I didn't write a single post for the month of October. There are many reasons for that, mainly because I had no inspiration to do so, but also because I had a busy month. What happened in October? Midterms, hackathon, quizzes, Charity Week and again midterms. For those of you who don't know what is hackathon, it is an event, usually lasting several days, in which large number of people meet to engage in collaborative computer programming. For me, it is the only chance to forget about all the deadlines and exams for couple of days, just to enjoy the atmosphere of coding and finally try things I wanted to try since long time ago. Of course this doesn't free me of my responsibilities, but inside, I don't feel obligated during the hackathon. This hackathon was held in our university and took place during the weekends. It was full of great impressions and emotions. I spent the whole 24 hours learning and trying out mobile application development using Python-Kivy. Generally, I enjoyed it a lot, but nothing comes for free. It costed me my weekend and on Sunday night I faced the following to do list...

This to do list is not even full!! Obviously, the probability of my survival was low. But I don't believe in complete darkness. There always will be a ray of hope and this ray was my friend, who decided to not go to the hackathon. I want to tell a bit about this person. He is also a second year computer science student at my university. I don't remember how we became friends, however I remember it was in the middle of my very first semester in this university. Since then, we studied together and helped each other in different situations. We survived the large waves of exams and deadlines. I'm sure, that each of us could handle that alone, but that would be far more difficult. We are all human and we have different phases and moods in our lives. Sometimes you are just full of energy and ready to overcome any obstacles you face and sometimes you are just powerless. Life may bring to you not the happiest news or you may just be tired and exhausted. At such moments, you are just not ready to fight for your life. Those are the days, when you need the person who grabs you and carries you through the fire. And you, in its turn, must be such a person for him. You probably have seen the picture below. It perfectly describes, what I'm trying to explain. 

As you might have already guessed, after this hackathon, my friend carried me once again. That is the point, when I understood the real importance of a team. Working together when everything is okay is one thing. However when facing problems, you carry your team and team carries you. And if there is no one to carry and the whole team falls, it will hurt much less than if you were alone and getting up will be much faster than you expected. The only important thing, is to have good teammates.

I explained everything in terms of studies, just because that are the only obstacles I'm going through at the moment. But this rule applies everywhere. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, going together is funnier and easier.

Find your team and conquer the highest peaks,

My love story (Coding)

Guten Tag everybody!!!

As I wrote before, I have started studying and already "survived" the first month of those all-nighters and deadlines. This post will tell you about my first impression about the second year at Jacobs.

First of all, let me tell you about the curriculum in this university. Differing from other universities, here you get your bachelor's degree in 3 years. Thus, you don't have that first year, when you study "everything" and decide the field you want to study in. You should tighten your interests and decide on what you may want to study before coming to this university. In your first year, you choose 3 core modules and study them through your first year (in my case, they were: CS (Computer Science), ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering,) and IMS (Intelligent Mobile Systems) ). The next 2 years you continue with only one of them and get your bachelor's degree in that major.

My first year : From the first days, my plan was to study Electrical Engineering and nothing else (which is understandable, assuming my only-physics background). Since you need to choose 2 more modules, I had to take something else as well. After talking to my academic advisor (who is a computer science professor) I took CS and IMS. I was quite afraid of taking CS (which is again understandable, assuming my zero background in this field). I guess this was one of the most important decisions in my life so far. After one month of studying, I had new hobby, new goals and new plans. I became a Computer Science guy. During that year, I was slowly falling in love with this world of codes, which was completely undiscovered by me before. 

Although I completely lost my passion to study EE anymore, I had to study it until the end of the year according to the university policies. It wasn't that big of a problem in the beginning, but the workload was becoming bigger and the study material harder from week to week. But let me skip all those details and just say that I survived that year. And here comes my second year, which I was a bit scared of after the horror stories told by former second year students. After getting familiar with courses and teachers, I could again see a lot of hard work coming. Now, after one month I can say that the workload is even bigger than in the first year. So, what is the difference between the first and the second years, that I can feel so far?

The major difference is that all the courses I'm taking in the second year are from CS module, which means: no more undesirable work. Even if I have to stay awake until the early morning to finish the assignment, I enjoy it (of course this may not be true later, when harder stuff will come :P ). But for now, I even don't have any stress for studying through the nights and not understanding the lectures (well, I don't enjoy not understanding lectures, but the self-study I do afterwards). I enjoy my second year studies even more than writing blog posts :D. So now, I need to go take something to eat, to get some energy to finish this post and let you to read it. (Okay, now I feel much better).

Let me tell you about my situation around 2 years ago. I was just about to apply to universities and the question: "What do I want to do in the future?" wasn't leaving me alone even for a second. I was good at Physics and that is what everyone else was expecting me to choose. But I knew it wasn't mine. I didn't have any dream job and the quotes like "Do the work that you enjoy and you'll never have to work again" were just some unreal quotes from the motivating movies. I just didn't know anything, that I would do with the great enthusiasm (I wanted to become an actor, but I thought I won't succeed in that field a lot). Then I decided to do just what I can and applied for the Electrical Engineering at Jacobs University. And you already know what happened next. 

Comparing the two conditions (now and then), I feel just thankful, that I discovered my own world of joy. I found the way to work hard and play hard at the same time.

With best regards,

Tima

Application to the Universities. My Experience.

Hello everyone!

Disclaimer: This post will be in Russian Language. But if you don't know Russian and speak only in English, believe me, you don't need the information that I'll write below. This post will mostly contain the information, which may be needed for pupils, who are looking ahead to apply to the colleges and universities soon.

И так, начнём.
Уже сентябрь, уже осень. И мне, как к человеку который поступил учиться в университет, начали приходить волны вопросов про поступление и обучение в Германии. Раньше я отвечал на все вопросы индивидуально и если честно, иногда они заставали меня не в то время и отвечал я коротко и не очень подробно. Сейчас я решил влить в этот пост всё что я знаю и поделиться всем моим опытом поступления в университеты и в колледжи в Европе и в Америке. Сразу предупреждаю, что это было 2 года тому назад и я могу помнить мало, и могу даже дать вам устаревшую информацию. Поэтому примите этот пост просто как советы и не полностью им доверяйте :D

Если вы до сих пор это читаете, то вы скорее всего намерены серьёзно и хотите узнать как поступить именно в универы на западе. Раз так, вы наверняка знаете, что всё начинается с подговкой к SAT и TOEFL. Это два единственные теста, которые я сдавал и которых как мне кажется достаточно. Начнём с SAT.

SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) демонстрирует собой унифицированный тест, итоги которого нужны абитуриентам для зачисления в элитные американские колледжи. Недавно, формат SAT поменялся и я не владею большой информацией на счёт его нынешнего состояния, но думаю сильно он не изменился. Идеально, подготовка к SAT должна начаться как минимум за 1 год до сдачи экзамена. В нём проверяются ваши навыки английского и математики. Поэтому если вы ещё "молоды", и у вас ещё есть пару лет до этой головной боли, начинайте уже читать много книг на английском и практикуйте свои знания написанием небольших историй (конечно же на английском). Но если у вас очень мало времени, то есть сейчас уже Июнь-Июль, то могу сказать что сильно вы подготовиться к эказмену уже не сможете. Вы уже должны зарегистрироваться на сдачу SAT на его оффициальном сайте (https://www.collegeboard.org/), так как период регистрации заканчивается задолго до экзамена. Так как вам осталось совсем немного до экзаменя, чтение книг и написание рассказов сильно не помогут. Берите книгу SAT, и готовтесь по нему. Устраивайте для себя очень много тестов. Готовтесь день и ночь, возможно у вас не всё ещё потеряно. Чтобы вас промотивировать, скажу, что я тоже начал готовиться примерно в конце Июля (сдал конечно не супер, но не очень то уж и плохо). Кстати книгу не обязательно покупать. Поищите, возможно вы его найдёте, но я бы не пожадничал иные деньги на эту книгу.

SAT Subject Test - тест на подобие предыдущего, но уже проверяющий знания в других областях (в таких как математика, физика, история, испанский и т.п.). Вопросы будут немного углубленнее, но если вы хороши в каких то областях, то обязательно сдайте SAT Subject Test. Он будет дополнять другие ваши результаты и будет большим плюсом (конечно если результат хороший). За раз можно сдавать сразу по трём предметам, так что можете попытаться. И не бойтесь того что вы не добьётесь результата и это пойдёт вам на минус, единственное что вы потеряете это деньги и время, а плохой результат можно и не отправлять (никто об этом так и не узнает :D).

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language, Тест на знание английского языка как иностранного) — cдача которого обязательна для неанглоязычных иностранцев для поступления в вузы с английским языком обучения. На него тоже нужно регистрироваться заблаговременно (https://www.ets.org/toefl). Есть два вида TOEFL: iBT & PBT. Желательно нужно сдавать iBT, так как PBT уже во многих университетах не принимается. Здесь работает тот же принцип что и для SAT. Купите или найдите книгу, учитесь, практикуйтесь и ещё раз практикуйтесь (на компьютере конечно). Здесь я могу посоветовать хороший сайт. Здесь вы можете найти очень полезные советы по подготовке к этому тесту. И помните, результат этого теста очень важен. Он должен быть желательно выше 100 (в худшем 90) что является порогом во многих универах США. Если вы набрали меньше, вашу подачу просто напросто могут не рассмотреть.

Допустим, с тестами вопрос решён. Что теперь? Где найти университеты и колледджи для поступления? И главное как и откуда подавать заявления? Информацию по многим университетам вы можете найти на самом сайте https://www.collegeboard.org/. А подавал я во многие университеты через Common App. Подавать во многие американские колледжи и университеты можно от туда, но конечно всегда есть исключения. Есть такие университеты, например MIT, подача на которые осуществляется через их собственный сайт. Найти их легко. Google вам в помошь. Главное, подавайте в разные университеты. Не цельтесь только высоко и не цельтесь только низко. Цельтесь во все стороны! Да, стоит попробовать пару наилучших, пару средних и пару более достигаемых университетов. Вы никогда не знаете что может случиться.

Ну а что касается на счёт самого процесса подачи: я почти уже ничего не помню. Но дам вам совет, начинайте всё заблаговременно и не повторяйте моих ошибок. Я провёл время перед компьютером заканчивая и отправляя свои эссе и документы, вместо того чтобы встретить новый год. Поверьте, ощущения не из самых лучших. Вам придётся писать очень много эссе, переводить очень много документов, искать учителей которые бы могли написать вам рекомендательные письма и т.д. и т.п. Важно отметить что это не из тех дел что можно закончить за 1-2 недели. То есть закончить то можно, но вас там уже вряд ли примут. После написания эссе, вы его измените раз 100 и возможно под конец даже решите что хотите написать что-то совсем другое. В общем времени у вас не так много как кажется и вы не должны откладывать всё на потом.

Ну а под конец, хочу дать немного информации про самого себя. Учусь я в Германии, но почти ничего не знаю про обучение в Германии (как бы ни странно это может звучать). Дело в том что учусь я в частном университете, где всё обучение на английском. Этот университет более американский, чем немецкий. Так что если возникнут вопросы про немецкие вузы и про поступление в университеты в Германии, вы знаете к кому НЕ обращаться :D

Вроде всё что помню написал, возможно время от вермени буду пост подправлять, если вспомню что-то важное. Написал я этот пост в большой спешке, так как моя учёба в разгаре и времени у меня не так уж и много.

Желаю всем вам успехов в поступлении и добра,

Темирлан (Тима)

Back to university life.

Hello peeeepz!

Hope you are all "enjoying" the start of the school. Yep, no more Netflix&Chill through the days and no more enough sleep. All studying (and not doing internships during the summer) people around the world have similar thoughts in their heads and I'm not the exception. Even though I never Netflix & Chill through the days, I'm still not happy that the summer has ended so freaking quick. Recently, I've arrived to my university and already had my first classes for this semester. Only now I understand how much time I had during the summer days (that is the reason why I've started a blog).

Until now, I thought that this summer was completely useless. Seeing that a lot of people from my university were doing internships or some research works, I felt bad for myself. I was just back home, chilling and enjoying the time. After coming here, I felt even worse, when my friends kept asking "How was your summer? What did you do?". EVERYONE asked me that question, because that's what people usually ask after a long summer break, isn't it?

I woke up today somewhat late, comparing to my last days and went to have a breakfast. (I'm so happy that at least on Wednesdays I don't have a class in the morning) There I met couple of my friends, whom I saw for the first time in this semester. And guess what were the questions we asked each others? Yes, that question written above with bold. Actually, I was the one who started asking, because I saw that conversation coming anyways :D. So, I answered something like: "It was great and interesting, however it was useless". Then, my companion replied: "Useless? Why? Just because you didn't do an internship or a project. Actually this was probably the last chance to spend the whole summer with your family and friends. I don't think you wasted your summer. From this point on, you won't have any 'free' summers like that."

However, at that moment, I saw his words just as a try to cheer me up, now I understand how right he was. Coming summer, I have to do an internship. The next one after that I'll probably be graduated and busy trying to find a job or applying to the graduate schools. And no completely free summers after that. Now, I understand how precious were the days I spent with my family and how wonderful were the days spent in my HOMELAND.

But since I am here now and don't feel bad about my summer anymore :D, I'll try to enjoy my days at the university. Older people miss these days, so there should be something :D For all of you guys, who have started their studies, I wish the best of luck and wonderful days. And for those who are still chilling at their home and waiting for their school to start: "Make your family HAPPY, make your friends HAPPY, be HAPPY yourself!".

Still 18 y.o.

Hey guys!
Good morning! Good afternoon! Good evening! Good night! (I'm so happy that people all over the world read my blog :D)

At the moment it is 9:30 PM (3rd of August) in my country. And tomorrow, i.e. after couple of hours, is my Birthday! (Actually I'm not that excited, so the exclamation mark here was unnecessary -_-). But now, I'm still 18 years old.

18 is some special age. Older people usually mention exactly this age, when they remember their youth. Underage people often wait for this age. 18 is the culmination of your childhood. This age has a lot of different meanings and that may be the reason of why am I excited about my birthday. Unlike other people, I'm not concerned about getting old, no. Possibly, because I look young, younger than my friends. This feature was passed to me from my father. My father also looks young. Some people even think that he is my brother. Since I can't explain my feelings (it happens, believe me), I'll tell you how did I spend my sweet 18.

The last year was the time full of new things: new home, new people, new environment, new world (i.e. software), new language and finally new me. Yes, I think I changed a lot this year, because everything around me changed as well. I became taller! Just kidding (but I actually became taller :D ). I found a lot of new friends and couple of FRIENDS this year. They taught me a lot. I learned to stay calm, when you have tons of deadlines. I learned to stay away from some things, even if you want them so bad. I learned to appreciate my country and my family. And the main thing, I became more confident. I learned a lot of stuff in my first year in the university, but I can't say all at once. Instead, I can give you a short list of things I did during the last year. Here it is:

• Started learning new language (German)
• Got my driver's license
• Successfully finished my first year in the university
• Learned a lot of swear words in many different languages :D
• Recommenced my training ( martial arts)
• Watched Star Wars :)
• Quit Physics
• Started wearing contact lenses
• Learned skateboarding
• Went hunting
• Started playing video games (I rarely did before)
• Started drinking coffee
• Learned to stay awake for a long time
• Learned to sleep for a long time
• Ate a lot of new food
• Learned some German songs

And many many other things, but that's what I could come up with at the moment (still I'm only 18 and I'm not that smart yet). Now, I guess I'll switch off my phone & laptop and go sleep with some interesting book :). Otherwise, I'll stay awake until 2-3 AM chatting with a lot of people. And that's not what I want, cause I have a lot of good things planned for tomorrow.

Remember, age is not just a number, age is a word :D

Have a good time there,
Tima

Enjoying super-fast internet. NOT.

Hello world!
(I just wanted to say this phrase, even though most of the "hackers" may have different memories regarding "Hello World!" :P )

It's been a while since I published here my last post. If you are wondering if was I doing anything useful these days, the answer is yes. I was working hard in order to get my driver's license (may be that is the reason why I was the only one in my group who passed the final exam). So, the last week I finally got the rights to drive the car in complete freedom (i.e. without hiding from police officers). 

 

Other than that, I play tennis every other day and hang out with my friends. I guess that is not that interesting way to spend the summer, yet for me, it is just the way to relax and prepare for my second year at Jacobs University.

Already 2/3 of this summer is behind and I think everyone could get enough impressions in those 2 months. But if to be optimistic, we still have the whole 30 days of warm weather (at least in Osh). Since I've got my driver's license, now I have much more of free time. I have made great plans for the last month of my summer, but there is a SMALL problem - BAD internet connection. And this SMALL problem ruins some parts of my plans. Such kind of connection should be usual for my city, but the last days the connection became much worse. For you to understand how bad it is, it took me 15 minutes to open the site with speed-test. Then it took me another 15 minutes to open the site where I could send a complaint to my internet provider with the screenshot of the speed-test results. But at the end my patience was exhausted and I gave up. The next day I asked my friend to do that instead of me (he probably has better internet connection). Internet connection is still bad, however you are reading this. Which means I succeeded to publish this post, so there is still hope.

Took me a moment :D

Hope you have better internet connection,
Tima

3000 years old city!!!

Hello people!

I guess many people in this world love their hometown and I'm among them. I do LOVE my city. Why? I don't have the precise answer for this. Partly for its beauty, partly for all memories I have in this city, partly for its kind nation and for many other reasons.

I'm from Osh, which is the second biggest city in Kyrgyzstan (after Bishkek - our capital city). Although this city doesn't have skyscrapers or huge malls, it is one of the most beautiful cities I know. Osh is more than 3000 years old and is located around the mountain Sulayman (go ahead, and click the link to read about the mountain, because it is not just a mountain. Also you can watch the video of Sulayman mountain below).

I don't want to write a lot, describing my city, because we have saying here in Kyrgyzstan - "Seeing once is better than hearing thousands times". I found these cool videos made by ProAir Studio in Osh. So, just enjoy :)

                                           Osh city

                                          Mountain Sulayman ( Sulaiman-too )


Hope you enjoyed watching :)

Sun is Fun!

Hello guys!

So much sun, so much energy, so much happiness!! I hope you all have the same feeling at the moment and for those who don't, I decided to share the joy I have these days :D

I guess you already read about the trip I  was planning to go with my friends, which eventually got cancelled "for some reasons". No one was really upset with that, yet there was one problem. We all were fully excited waiting for plenty of different emotions, which should've come from the 2 day adventure near the Lake on the height of about two thousand meters above the sea level. Since it didn't happen, we all wanted to make something instead of that, so we don't die of boredom -_-. 

Not thinking a lot, we all decided to go to the swimming pool near our city the next day (you know sun gives not only happiness). We set the meeting time at 10 AM in the morning (but we ended up gathering only at 12 am). Of course those teens took a lot of hamburgers/sandwiches and one big watermelon (in case if we get hungry or thirsty). You know what is interesting in all of that, we didn't plan anything properly, we just spontaneously did everything. Still, we had an amazing day!

What we did there except swimming? We just decided to remember the childhood :D. Yes, guys at 19 running all around the pool and playing the games of kids seems weird, but it was so much fun! Indeed, every one was staring at us, while we were playing and fighting in the water. But they weren't looking at us as at strange and crazy people, they were also laughing with us. I saw sparkle in everyone's eyes and a desire to just leave everything and start playing with us (even old people). There, I understood that independent of our age, there is a child inside of every one of us. And the thing all adults miss is little bit of craziness :)

                                         Me with my friends. Nice try, isn't it? :D

Of course we followed our tradition :D. Every time we all meet, we play CS1.6 (video game - Counter Strike 1.6). So, at the end of the day we went and spent another couple of hours in one of those computer clubs. Why not? :D
So, yesterday I made myself sure one more time that with my friends, doing everything spontaneously is much more interesting and better, rather than planning everything the days before.

With all good wishes,
Tima

Trip got CANCELLED

Hi peeps!

Hope you are enjoying the summer with all its sweet fruits :) (I can't get enough of all of these). I'm currently at home in my country and I'm going to leave soon (at the end of the summer) to Germany. I know that I'll miss everything here: my family, friends, city, mountains and ALL the rest. I'm trying not to waste every single day (but aint successful all the time).

One of the things that kept me busy the last day is trying to get together with my friends (classmates in high school) and get out for 2 day trip to the Lake Sary-Chelek (you can see the picture below). We had to leave today in the morning according to our plan, but everything crashed yesterday. The reason is ridiculous: we just couldn't organize small bus and food for 2 days! That was the only thing we needed to do. In my opinion that's not the main reason. May be the main reason is that our class wasn't one of those united and organized ones? I think so.

    Lake Sary-Chelek (Credits: Azamat Imanaliev. More pictures of Sary-Chelek are here)

All of us are about 19 years old at the moment. People are trying to get into adults' world as fast as possible at this age (and yes, I'm not the exception). Let me tell you what are my friends doing. Most of my classmates (former classmates) are enrolled to the universities, but couple of them stopped their education and already working somewhere. However now, all the students in my country have a summer break and many of my friends are trying to earn some money in this period or helping their parents at their work. This is one of the main reasons why we can't just gather all together. We gather often and of course every time some people are missing. But there are those people, who are missing all the time. Some of them are abroad and I can understand the reason of their absence. Nevertheless some of them just found "better world". If you are reading this and you are still at high school, remember, there always be some people who will disappear after you graduate (if not all of you). If you already graduated, you can leave a comment bellow this post, it'd be interesting to know how often you meet with your classmates and do you also have those "disappeared" friends. In my opinion, those people didn't feel themselves at ease in high school and just won't return to that environment again.

If you are wondering why my classmates are so important for me, I just want to tell you about the school I graduated. It was Kyrgyz-Turkish lyceum, where pupils study and live 5 days a week. So we studied, lived, played, fought, starved, ate and slept together 5 days a week during the 5 years. So we are not just classmates, we are more than that. Most of these people became my brothers and I don't know if I'll find better friends than those.

Sorry guys for this disorganized post (as our trip plan -_-). The main thing I wanted to tell and wish you are good friends. If you already have them, just stay close and gather more often ;)

Cheeeeerz,

Tima

About Me

Okay, here we go!

In my first blog post I will tell a little about myself and the reason, why I decided to start blogging. 

My name is Temirlan and yes, it is long and difficult to pronounce, may be the reason why most of the people call me just Tima. I was born and raised in the country, which is mostly covered by mountains and has few more than 6 millions of people. It was part of the Soviet Union before 1991 and is among developing countries. Most probably you've never heard about my country or at least you didn't know a lot about it before. Kyrgyzstan. Yes, this is my Homeland! Even if it is not as rich and developed as other countries, there are many reasons to love this place. May be I can tell more about it in one of my later posts, but for now, just read Wikipedia page.

Even though I was on the path of Science since entering the high school, I always had a passion for writing, drawing, singing, taking photos and even casting in movies. But I never had time to do any of those seriously. After entering high school I started studying Physics and participating different kind of Olympiads. Even though I was successful at that, I could never see my future in Science. However I started studying Electrical Engineering at Jacobs University after graduating the high school. There I discovered the new world of art - CODING. I switched my major at the beginning of my academic year and now I'm a programmer, at least trying to become one :).

As I told, I'm the person of art and I love writing. This is one of the reasons why I decided to start blogging. Another reason is to look at my life from side and to be able to analyze it better. Nowadays, I do so many things, that I forget to stop and talk with myself (or may be I'm just too lazy to do this). I decided that writing blogs will help me to live better life (this is the reason why I'm not afraid of me being the only person reading my blog).

Today I decided to make a blog and write about interesting things in my life or just things that I want to talk about. I hope there will be people who will enjoy my posts (and of course I'm ready for those BAD comments as well).

I think this is enough for beginning. Thank you for reading and here is the kitten I met recently <3.
