What is your wish for the next Christmas?

After our English course I went to the "Libelle" party, which had started at 18:00 but I only appeared at 20:30 and actually there were not as many people as there were at the beginning... But I met one boy who is a columnist in the "Libelle" and his column is "Alltag"(everyday life). This person deeply impressed me. He is more clever and intelligent than the most guys of the Facebook generation. He knows everything about everything. He really keeps up the conversation about any topic: from phonetical features in Russian, which is spoken in the city Lugansk, to the migration problems. But this young man is blind. As I understood from his article, he only can distinguish dark and light. AND this person can answer every question... 
The thought of the day is, the majority of us really has abilities to see, hear and move and we do not use them as much as we could. We could read lots of books but we would rather chat with our "friends"on Facebook...     

In my childhood I really loved one cartoon film called "Rainbow flower" (here is the script of the cartoon in English). The heroine is a little girl at a age of 5 or 6 and she got a magic rainbow flower, which can fulfill wishes, any wish that only crosses your mind, but only 7 pieces. I was 4 or 5 when I first saw it and my favorite part was when the girl gets all the toys in the city (I was young and stupid). 
So the girl in the cartoon spent 6 magic petals for some kind of shit trifle (toys, "trip" to North Pole, a broken vase) and then for the last one she wished her new friend (who actually could not walk) could walk again. Her wish came true! As the last wish was sensible, the last petal turned back, and she got a new rainbow flower. This cartoon is very touching such as my evening today. I really want to have this flower, or only 4 petals of it! I really want blind people to see, deaf people to hear, people who cannot walk to walk and that people who are sick to be health! These are my wishes for this Christmas (or as soon as I find necessary petals).

Fly, petal, oh- 
East to West you go. 
Then North to South 
And turn about. 
Touch the ground, do, 
Make my wish come true. 
      MAKE ALL THE PEOPLE BE HEALTH AND HAPPY!  


Here is the cartoon in Russian. You have the script and can watch the video with.

This is the life

Six years ago one friend of mine read in a newspaper an advertisement about a journalism school which was organized by the faculty of philology and arts of the St Petersburg State University. She really wanted to be a journalist and she really wanted to take part in this school. But as she was afraid to go on her own to the other side of the city, she asked me if I could go with her. I agreed. So we went to the first class together. There was only general information about the school and we also received some tasks which we had to do at home and bring next time. And the next time, after the analysis of our homework, they said who "passed" and could study in this school. I was surprised to hear my name because I only went to this school with my friend for company... So I began to study in this journalism school. It was really enjoyable.
I did very interesting interviews and they were also published, for example, an interview with a very famous russian cook Ilja Laserson
I also worked some years as a club photographer and did many photoshoots for russian stars, on the right on the photo is Timati (maybe you've heard something about him), a very famous rapper with Masha Shoki (she is also famous, she owns an internet video channel). 


It sounds quite good, isn't it? BUT I decided to study linguistics and languages and then economics... 

5 years passed after my decision and last week was published my first article in German, in the magazine for students "Libelle" (on pages 20-21).

I never know why it is so but I know that everybody has some tasks in his life which will be done independent if he wants to do them or not.

PS my friend didn't pass...
