It’s hard to realize that our first year in college is over.. Now we have only to pass the exams ( For me it’s only English exams because I’ve gotten automatic grades on Russian, Latin and Foreighn Literature) and that’s all.
And now I want to sum up my first year at LUNN. Honestly, when I entered this University, I didn’t have any expectations because I just didn’t know what to expect in general. If I choose a picture that I associate with September, I would choose this one:
Because I was confused. A lot of people, a big city, an awful traffic jam, living at the dorm. Everything I thought about was “ Oh, my God, all these gyus are much smarter than me; I know nothing; It’s all very confusing” and so on. But then I realized that it was just my worries and I just needed to work hard and learn all the maretial. As for living at the dorm, my lovely friends- groupmates Nastya and Rita and of course some other girls made my life here better, funnier and not so difficult. Just look at these two photos: the beginning of the year/ some time later:
And now a little bit about my worries. Over time, everything has become a little easier for me, I didn’t worry if I fall behind from my classmates in knowledge or not. I just worried about three things: how not to let my teachers down, if I work enough hard and of course about my grades. I know, that grades are poison, I really know, but I have always worried about it and I think I will worry about this thing for a long time. Because it’s my nature. I know that it’s a little bit stupid, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Also, I was very panicked, nervous, when I realized that I couldn’t pass any tasks on time. At that time, I was very ashamed, and I could even burst into tears because of it.
Anyway, even though all the difficulties and worries this year was very eventful. I’ve always loved studying but I had never thought that studying could be soo fascinating and exciting! I really like that our teachers don’t try to overhelm us with a huge amount of work and home assignments, they just try to make the learning process more interesting and productive. We watch different movies, learn and sing together various songs, make up funny dialogs and so. There were such many different events and occasions that I jusr can’t remember all of them right off the bat.
It’s so sad that our first year in college is over but I want to say that I’m really grateful. I’m grateful for this great ability to study American English. I’m very grateful to all our teachers! I’m grateful to all my classmates for all that time that we spent together , you’re the best, guys!❤
I do not know what else to say. I’m just grateful that I met such wonderful people. I think the pictures will tell everything instead of me. ❤❤❤❤❤
