He’s Just Not That Into You

A quick movie review.

Awesome crew of all very famous actors made this great film possible for all of those who are single people out there and for those who are not. Some very creative ideas and relationship concepts developed throughout the movie that I personally found quite interesting. Rules of the genre however demanded for a cheesy happy ending, but I really liked the story overall.

Statement of Public Interest Group on Current Immigration Policies

The following is my first research paper for the Politics class.

Introduction.

As people of liberty from all across Utah, we believe that our principals are to welcome legal immigrants, offering them hospitality and justice. While we recognize that immigration policy is a complex and delicate issue that divides people of goodwill and the Immigration Laws are ever-changing and extremely complicated, our beliefs obligate us to stand with immigrants in their struggle for justice as long as no immigration law is violated. As soon as the Immigration laws are broken it becomes an issue for the country as a whole and for every single citizen individually.

The mission of this statement is to propose some major changes to the immigration law and to promote the immigration reform as a solution, we believe absolutely necessary to resolve current immigration problems. We confess that far too often we have remained silent.

Wisdom Teeth

There aren’t many things in this world I’m scared of. Doctors are one of them. Tooth doctors in particular.

So Natasha had her wisdom teeth removed today. The last two of them.  I don’t know the reason behind it, but they had to put her to sleep to do it. So now she’s all drugged up and nauseous and not feeling well.
I had been to a doctor when I was a kid, but my first real visit, with drilling etc., was when I was 24(!). I genetically have pretty good teeth, but that time I really had to go, because I could feel the hole in one of the teeth with my tongue – that’s how big it was.
So now I try to do checkups twice a year, have all of my holes fixed promptly. Every time I go in my dentist tells me that I have very good teeth, all 32 of them, including 4 wisdom teeth; but it seems like he tells every patient that they have very good teeth, so I kinda don’t trust him on this anymore. Returning to the wisdom teeth issue I was told that all of my teeth fit in my mouth just fine and there is no need to remove any of the wisdom ones, but I’ve got this weird feeling that the day will come and my dentist will tell me that it is time to remove them. And I’m afraid of that day and I don’t want it to happen soon.

On the good note: our insurance covers most of the dental expenses, so we are all set there for now. God bye to you all and keep your teeth healthy.

El verano casi esta.

SLCC

The summer is almost here and …  it is time to go to school!

Well I can not wait to go back to school again. It’s like when I was younger I did not want to study at all. And it’s explainable – teenagers want more freedom, they wanna go out. Now however I know exactly what I want to study and I know how important it is for me to get a degree. Also the other thing I’m very excited about is  the American education system, where you have certain flexibility with elective classes and can actually choose the subject you’re more interested in; versus Russian higher education, where you absolutely have to follow the academic program, that was designed for thousands of other students and doesn’t reflect your personal interests.

No matter how much I hate mathematics I’ve decided to go the difficult route and study Computer Science, which in the long run will provide me with more opportunities in the future. Since I have to work and study at the same time it is going to take me a little while to graduate, but the fact that I am willing to go to school in the summer will help me do it faster. I still need to talk to the academic adviser, but it looks like I will be able to get my Associate Degree in just over 2 years if I take 3 semesters per year and at least 3 classes per semester.
