a bit about everything

First 2008 post! I'd do this earlier had I not been so busy..

1. happy new year :D for 6 days I've been paying visits and drinking with everybody :D it was great :))
2. on Jan 12 it was Mary's birthday!
Have a look at her.
As it can be easily noticed from the photo she is not very sober. She drank one (1!!!) glass of tequila. I guess it was her first experience. Well me and Anya will have to pay more attention to her alcohol education! :D:D

3. we've taken 4 exams.. we were getting together at Mary-Alex's office to study the materials that others studied in 4+ months.. The worst exams ever. Especially the last one (taken yesterday). it was numeric methods. The study group was about 9 people - all depressed. We xeroxed lectures from one girl and everything.. but we lacked time and couldn't read it all. So we were trying to figure things out from examples solved. But every time there was smth unclear or smth incomplete or worse - incorrect. When yesterday we arrived at the exam I asked a guy from our group and he explained me some things right on spot 5 mins before the exam :D:D. However we consider that we didn't fail. I could do a long post about this but it's over and there's no need to worry about it.. at least before the results are known. Things done can't be undone anyway.

And here are some photos I took on one of the preparation days. When we started getting together but not everybody arrived Alex and Vova were playing... And we girls had some fun :D








4. No need to say that I'm so very impatient.. in 9 days Michael will be here (with his parents) and I'm kind of getting ready with it all :D but I want to make a separate post about this so I won't go into details :) (well probably after he's back to the states, so that I can post photos at once :D)

5. Anya has finally started a blog too! http://anaida-gasparyan.blogspot.com/ the only thing left for her is making the first post at least :D:D
