So, Yana suggested this restaurant and we went there. I really liked the atmosohere - dark colors, black leather sofas, wooden brown walls, old books on the shelves, mirror ceiling. Every thing reminded about old times.(I`don`t know why but for it is true). We ordered a big pepperoni pizza and as a gift we got a jug of mors. While we were waiting for our pizza, we took some photos, discussed our presentation.

The pizza was SO tasty and spicy that I forgot about my diet and trainings for 20 minutes.

I think I`ll go there one more time)

After all these test we wrote, we had a special surprise from our teacher Ms.Bradshow.She gave us a book she has translated. Also we draw our palms and each of us wrote someting nice and pleasant for a person. after that we made a collage from words which are describing out first year in the LUNN.

Only after the end of the classes on my way home i realized it was the end. I probably won`t see my groupmates for two months, nobode would ask me some water or to eat. I really love you, guys even if had some quarrels. I`m gonna miss you!)

Also i`ve started procrastinating less and spend more time on studying. Sometimes I send my home assignment earlier, sometimes after. I need to work more, I know that.

April is doing to be a real test for all of us. First of all, Mid-Terms and 8 dialogs. I can`t imagine how I will be learning so many dialogs (but in summer finals we will be asked to write and learn 20 dialogs). Moreover Pleasure Reading. Ohohoh I`m gonna die on this week.

But there is one highlight of April. I`ve started watching “Doctor House” IN ENGLISH!!!! Every evening, if I have enough time, I watch one series, Hugh Lauri` accent is amazing, the way he is playing awesome. The one problem that I have is difficulty of understanding medical terms. As for the rest, it`s easy enough for me to understand actors` speech.

New goals for the last two months of the semester? I think I don`t have new. Work harder. Don`t procrastinate, and continuing watching “Doctor House” (and may be “Lie to me&rdquo ;)

Before watching it we had to translate the subtitles for the trailer. It was interesting to find the meaning for words and phrases that every American uses in his everyday life. Then in class we did simultaneous translation.it was really fun to hear others subtitles. My weren`t very good, but some phrases I`ve translated in good way.

Back to the serial. I enjoyed Hugh Lauri`s play. His accent, voice, emotions, jokes. He hates people, but at the same time he wanted to help them. He doesn`t like his boss, they don`t see eye to eye on some moments that are connected with threating. She, his boss, can`t fire him because he is the best doctor in her clinic.

Some new words:

• Brain tumor –опухоль мозга
• To bubble – лепетать
• Tapeworm – ленточный червь
• Larva – личинка
• Cripple – калека
• Bloodsream – кровоток

Interesting phrases

• Truth begins in lie
• Everybody lies
• You can`t always get what you want
• If you try sometimes you get what you need.

The first thing I noticed was that the main actor, Tim Roth, had a strange accent. It was a mixture of British and American accent. But it was easy enough for me to understand what actors were speaking about.

The main idea of this show is that every person tells lie and if you want to tell something truthless, you can learn how. As Cal Lightman said “The average person tells three lies per 10 minutes of conversation”.

I really like this show, and think that I will continue watching it.

New information from the show

- When you`re lying it`s hard to tell the story backwards.

- Body language tells the truth.

- We are in the world, bit not of the world.

- The average person tells three lies per 10 minutes of conversation.

Firtst of all, I almost passed my finals. Next week I`m going to retake my British and American Studies. I hate it. I think these two weeks will be the worst in my life.

Fortunately, I passed my exam in English, not really good I think. I wish I could work better. The results are not very good.

I watched somemovies in English - "The groundhod Day", "Angels in the Outfield" and 'Awake". It was a surprise for me that I understood almost everything what actors were telling in "Angels in the Outfield" and there weren`t subtitles for this movie. In "Awake" actors` speech was clear for understanding.

Speaking about my blog, I can say that I`m writting here more often then in the first semester. But I didn`t wrote here for a week because I was snowed under with my studies and trainings.

The goals are still the same:

• work harder
• don`t procrastinate
• pass my last exam (did i say that I hate it?)
• watch more movies in English

Swimming Lyrics:

Swimming swimming, in the swimming pool.
When days are hot, when days are cool,
In the swimming pool.
Breaststroke, sidestroke,
Fancy diving too.
Oh don’t you wish you never had anything else to do but

Swimming swimming, in the swimming pool.
When days are hot, when days are cool,
In the swimming pool.
Breaststroke, sidestroke,
Fancy diving too.
Oh don’t you wish you never had anything else to do?

Oh floating on the blue
With no schoolwork to do.
I’ll do a lazy crawl
Or a splashy cannonball.

Swimming swimming, in the swimming pool.
When days are hot, when days are cool,
In the swimming pool.
Breaststroke, sidestroke,
Fancy diving too.
Oh don’t you wish you never had anything else to do but

Swimming swimming, in the swimming pool.
When days are hot, when days are cool,
In the swimming pool.
Breaststroke, sidestroke,
Fancy diving too.
Oh don’t you wish you never had anything else to do but swim?

And I found a video)

This movie is about a man, Phil Connor, a weatherman for a Pittsburg TV station. He arrives to Punxsutaway, Pittsburg to make a report about the annual Groundhog Day festivity. He doesn`t like this city, but he has to work. When he and his partners were making their trek to Pittsburg, but a blizzard started. So they decided to go back to Punxsutaway for a night. But when Phil woke next morning, it was again February 2nd. At first days he is confused, doesn`t know what to do. Then he understands, that February 2nd repeats again and again, he starts to seduce women, steal money, get drunk, drive recklessly, and get thrown in jail. He even tries to get closer to Rita, his charming producer. Eventually, Phil becomes depressed and tries to stop the time loop; he gives ridiculous and offensive reports on the festival and after that kidnaps Punxsutawney Phil and, after a police chase, drives off a high overlook into a quarry, killing both himself and the groundhog. However, Phil wakes up and finds that nothing has changed. His next attempts of committing a suicide also fail to break, and he continues to find himself waking up at six o'clock on February 2nd. Next day, when Phil explains the situation to Rita, she spends the day with him and into the early morning hours they fall asleep together. However, he awakens again, alone, still in the time loop. Eventually, Phil tries to improve himself. He begins to use his knowledge of the day's events to help as many people around town as he can, and uses the time to learn, for instance, how to play the piano, sculpt ice, and speak French. In the end, Phil becomes a friend almost for everyone he meets during the day, using his experiences to save lives, and to impress Rit. His report on the Groundhog Day celebration is so eloquent that all the other stations turn their microphones to him. After the town's evening dance, Rita "buys" Phil at the event's bachelor auction. Phil makes a snow sculpture of Rita's face and they kiss, then go back to his room. He wakes the next morning and finds the time loop is broken; it is now February 3rd and Rita is still with him. They walk outside and Phil proposes that they move to Punxsutawney together.

I really like this movie because it teches us that every day can be the last in your life and you should do as many good things for people and yourself as possible.

Everybody is talking about love on this day, but in different ways

1) who is in love with a boy(girl), and he thinks that should tell everyone about his relationship. I think, if you`re in love, my congratulations!But please, stop telling EVERY PERSON about it. It`s annoying

2) who is in live, but nobody now that this two are a couple. That`s their secret. They are in their own world full of love and trust. That`s amazing.

3) A person who is single and don`t care about this holiday. He(she) has a usuall day, things he(she) usually does.

4) A person who is single and think that EVERYBODY should know this fact. People from this category are the worst people in the world, I think. They are like energetic vampires, who drinks you energy using bad words about love and this holiday.

What`s your category?

At the beginning the rector of LUNN said a welcoming speech about the importance of Dobrolubov`s works. Also some guests from Moscow told us about their emotions about NN and LUNN.

Dobrolubov was 25 when he died, but he worked really very hard and became a famous journalist, poet and critic. In 1858 he wrote 75 articles! He always said he wasn`t a poet, but he wrote such a beautiful poems that you can find in his collection of nine books. Another fact about Dobrolubov is that when he was 18 his parents died and he had to bring up seven siblings. He did this job brilliant – all his sisters were married to aristocratic people and all of them were well-educated.

During the conference we heard four presentations. The first one was about Vasily Vinogradov, Dobrolubov`s relative. Honestly? I didn`t remember what was the second presentation about, because it was a little boring. The third one was about The Great Patriotic War. Tatyana Pavlovna Vinogradova showed us a film that was filmed by students about their family during the war. The fourth presentation was about Sergei Dovlatov.

I learned that in 1986 there was The All-Russian industrial and art exhibition in NN.

After the conference there was a concert. The first was a man with a guitar who song two his own songs. Both of them were about his native city – NN. The second one was a choir of eight women. Their voices were amazing. But unfortunately we had to go to the next lecture, so we heard only three songs.

I like this conference because we learned lots of new information about NN and Dobrolubov.

Almost the last day of my vacation I spent doing my home assigment.
Why I did it today, but not earlier? Don`t even ask, because I didn`t know the answer. It`s fun, don`t you think so?
All my life I did necessery the day before deadline. It`s more interesting because you know that the deadline is tomorrow (for instance), and you have no reason not to do the assigment today ar tonight.
