Today was my first day back at work (for those who don't know, I'm an English teacher at school). It was great to see my kids, they grow fast. Masha looks so much taller with her newly grown teeth. Anton's first phrase when he saw me was "Thank God you're here! Darya Aleksandrovna, I could finally retell that text!' I only missed two weeks and they already learned the names of professions and grammatical structure 'Has he/she got...?' Feels like I missed a whole lot, but in fact it's them who grow and mature rapidly.

Being a teacher has its advantages and disadvantages. But the best part is just to watch them change, become beautiful people, gain knowlege day after day and be there for them, everyday in their ups and downs, supporting and understanding their beautiful children's minds.

To: those who are never tired to learn :)

Time of exams is so hard and stressful and boring and frustrating...
I have one tomorrow and dedicate this poetry to all the students,
who struggle just like me...

A Student Prayer

Now I lay me down to rest,
I pray I pass tomorrow’s test.
If I should die before I wake,
That’s one less test I’ll have to take!
(Anonymous)

Good luck to everyone who still has exams ahead!

Let me introduce myself...

While writing the 'Genesis' blog I had too many thoughts of my own that I wanted to share. They weren't quite suitable there. So I decided to store the ideas of my worldview, share my opinion on different things and post some fun pictures on a separate blog. I bet it will be hard
to keep both of my blogs updated... I'll give it a try though :)

Anyhow, welcome to everyone. Be my guest. And come back again.
