Zzvanqness is a talent, a gift

What happens when Michael reads my blog?

Michael says (0:57):
irina...Dou der ches qnel? Che vor arden gisher e.

I assure you, he is the greatest zzvanq in the world. Much bigger than I am. (Proof: I'm 156 cm (or smth like that) and he is 183cm, so his volume is bigger)

After saying that he warned me not to fall from the chair because of laughing to hard, I guess his co-workers noticed his halo and angelic wings. MichaelAngelo really. He is a genius zzvanq.

Also, scientific research was held during his visits and the experiments have proved his 100% zzvanqness.

He is the best (and the most zzvanqest) zzvanq in the world :D

no comment

Really...
big day for the university! it was its birthday! things missing:
1. birthday cake with a candle in the shape of "5"
2. us in birthday caps singing "happy birthday"
3. organization

also the official ceremony of handing in the diplomas took place. it was the first graduation.

not related:
me, Mary, and Anya have decided to take tai-chi classes. yesterday was the first training.. Anya watched, me and Mary practiced... i can't move at the moment. i guess i've not worked on myself for too long and have completely turned into a chess horse.
Michael suggested going to tai-chi class together when i come over... if we do the next day people will be wondering what it was that we were busy with and got so tired and that every slight movement hurts. the answer will be: we were playing chess.

mood.. (some noncense)

At the office, about to work. But some thoughts keep coming over and over. The thing is i can't catch them like one can't catch soaring bird's reflection in the lake. They leave no trace.. but they are there on my mind. A little bit of everything. Maybe I'm just in a creative mood and when this reaches its point of extreme I will express this thoughts on paper (in a written or graphical form). Perhaps I'll make a collage.. Collage of photos or collage of phrases. Collage is a blend of small pieces of life. Some thoughts take me back to where I was in january and in july, some thoughts take me forward to the future. It's like a video-tape which moves back and forth but I can't pause it at any moment.

Eh I better get back to earth from the skies and get to work!

autumn - autumn...

OK the haste has started and I like it :D

The new uni schedule is smth unbelievable - we have classes 4 days a week, on friday we have english, physical education and german, so i can say that we study 3 days a week :D. And in general, there are only 4 subjects except languages. So the exams won't be heavy.

And we have to start working at the diploma already now! Which is just great. My project will be in C# and in english. And i have already chosen my theme :) Michael's suggestion :). It will be work with WAV files, applying different transformations like reducing noise, adding distortion etc. This is one of the things I'm extremely excited about because it's a serious and challenging work and it's c# programming.

Michael has been teaching me c# and explaining different things to me, also how to work with wav files :). C# is twice as fun when Michael explains things :D. I'd actually want him to be my scientific adviser but he'd have to come to uni on the day of diploma defense and i between too i guess. The one I chose has taught me logic design and c++ and she works in a telephony company. What I like about her is that she's very smart and she will never tell you what to do. If you have a question or are stuck she will just hint you in what direction to investigate. Alex and Anya have chosen her as their scientific adviser too :).

One more new thing. Official announcement: i lost my kitchen phobia :D

IRD day

IRD = International Relief and Development
(or = Irina RRRRRR Dokhikyan)
In several words: it's an NGO sponsored by the US. They send medical supplies, start renovation projects and other things like that and the IRD office here distributes the medicaments in the regions and monitors it all, and makes all this projects come true.
My aunt works there.

So they had this project of renovating the bathrooms, kitchen and the cafeteria of Yerevan's N16 special school for children who have congenital problems with eyes.

Today was the official opening. The American council mr. Rudolf Perina was among the invited guests. The rest i'll tell in pictures :)
