1. Self intro

            Hi, everyone! Thank you, David, for such extraordinary idea to write blog posts. I’m sure that it will be really a pleasure for me to share my thoughts with my class and You.

          This was a small introduction and now I want to write some words about myself. As a formality, I would say that my name is Olga.  But to be honest, I prefer when someone calls me just Ol’ya. I’ve been living in Moscow since my birth. I love this city just because it’s my birthplace. It goes without saying that plenty of possibilities are given to us there. However, I constantly become very tired of this city and dream to live in a calm and comfortable place. But this will be in about twenty years. Now I’m young and want to take from this wonderful years as much as possible in order not to regret that time has passed so rapidly.

         I can say that I’m a rather active person. If I stay home someday, I feel lonely. It’s necessary for me to meet my friends, to attend some occasions or just go somewhere or do something exciting. Of course, sometimes I have to relax , but, anyway, I try not to waste time. As for free time, I’m fond of reading, playing volleyball, roller skating and handmade. I have made a lot of interesting things by myself and presented them to my parents or friends. Apart from this, I keen on dancing. Unfortunately, while I was preparing for different competitions in economics and exams I had to stop attending my dancing classes. Now I want to keep fit and return my shape. That’s why today was  my first lesson in HSE dancing club. I has enjoyed it very much though I’ve got very tired. I also like playing billiards, poker and horse-riding.

   I hope to improve my speaking English because it’s a bit embarrassing for me. I want to feel free and confident in discussions. Additionally, I hope that these lessons will be interesting and maybe warm. I realize that I study in wonderful place. I can already say that I’m proud of being HSE and NES student.
