Economics student
When I say “I’m majoring economics”, many people around me, like my mother, grandparents and friends, ask me “which stocks should we buy now? ”, “Do you understand what effects the government’s recent economic policies will have?”. However, I I can’t answer questions like that at all. So far, most of what I studied in the economics department was mathematics, so I don’t really understand how economy works in the real world now.
Also, from next year, we will begin conducting research in small groups, but my theme will be something related statistical modeling.
Of course, I am aware that my understanding of the real economic world is insufficient. But what I have to study most now is programming.

About well-being in economics
I am reading a book about economics, and in the second part of it, the author makes an interesting analysis about how neoclassical economics defines well-being. According to this theory, well-being is equivalent to economic growth. People are happier when they can satisfy their needs and wants. Although I believe in economics, everything is about wants. That means that we are happier when we buy more. However, there are studies that have found that this is not necessarily true. One example of this is that even though the real per capita income in the US has doubled since World War II, people perceive the same happiness today (the date of the study) as it was in the late 1940s. I honestly think that this is quite obvious; everyone has heard that “money doesn't buy happiness,” but in economics they still ignore that reality.
Another important idea presented in the book was the methodology approaches. In the neoclassical theory, they use the methodological individualism approach. They say that the individual comes before society and that the sum of the actions of every individual gives the society as a result. People try to maximize their self-interest, and markets help to that purpose; as a result, society benefits from this maximization. On the other hand, there is the holistic structuralism approach, which says that unlike the first one, society comes first, and we can't understand it as the aggregate of every individual action. We need to see this bigger picture of society to understand the individual behavior. This idea is more aligned with the notion of marketing and similar things.

Несчастливый случай
Вдруг воцарилась тишина, никто не осмеливался прорицать ни слова перед великолепным и грозным зрелищем, развернувшимся перед их глазами. На заднем плане слышался глухой гул - словно насекомые, шевелились и перестраивались ряды воинов. Все спешили неведомо куда, но молча, хорошо зная, что никакое слово не спасёт их в сей день.
Долго готоволись обе стороны к этому часу, и лишь теперь, впервые увидели друг друга лицом к лицу, перед самым сражением. Много рассказывал народ о врагах и их варварских обычаях, но, разглядев в них лица обыкновенных людей, рыцари поняли, что перед смертью каждвый ровен другому.
Особенно взволнован был Богдан. Неделями не находил себе покоя, не желая пока отдать Богу душу - не из боязни смерти, как это бывало по понятным причинам у многих, а потому что надеялся ещё хоть раз увидеть свою возлюбленную. Давным-давно похитили её налётчики и, по сведениям, добытым лазутчиками, она ныне находилась во вражеским стане.
Когда Богда увидел впервые лица врагов, для него это мгновение растянулось в вечность. Наконец он мог связать с чем-то зримым и конкретным образы похитителей его любви. Попал в такую ярость, что, не дожидаясь других, он ринулся в отчаянный бег навстречу первым наступающим всадникам, оглашавшим поле дикими криками и размахивающим сверкающими саблями.
Расстояние между ними уж стремительно сокращалось. Вихрь эмоций овладел Богданом, он со всей силой схватился за ножны и... восклицнул: - Да я, блять, меч-то забыл!. Вот так и помер наш герой.

Le matin
Aujourd'hui, je me suis réveillée à 5 heures du matin. J'aime me réveiller tôt le matin donc je peux pratiquer le piano et faire de l'exercice.
Après cela, je m'habille et me prépare pour la journée. Je cuisine des œufs brouillés pour mon petit-déjeuner tous les matin et bien sûr prends un café. Très simple, mais exactement comme je l'aime.
Il y a beaucoup de chose à faire au travail en janvier, et alors je ne veux pas me dépêcher le début de ma journée. Je trouve que je suis de meilleurs humeur quand je prends mon temps.

La mia lezione di italiano - 3 aggettivi di me
Oggi, ho avuta una lezione di italiano. Abbiamo parlato di domande diverse, come "Cosa volevi diventare quando eri piccola?" o "Credi nell'amore di prima vista?". Una domanda era "Descriviti con 3 aggettivi". Ho risposto "ottimista, curiosa, leale". Dope l'insegnante ha chiesto "Come i tuoi amici ti descrivono con 3 aggetivi?". Questa domanda era molto interessante, perché mi ho chiesto se i miei amici mi descrivono con le stesse parole. Ho chiesto il mio fidanzato, e lui ha detto "testado, per la maggior parte di buon umore, premuroso". Domani, chiedo i miei amici per 3 aggettivi.

If I were a (carpenter) cockatoo.
I do not have in my nearest plans to be a cockatoo.
Really. I am honest here. Why do I have to ?
But if I had to, then I would try to make the best of it
If I were a cockatoo, I would dance on the branches to make everyone’s day brighter,
If I were a cockatoo, I’d mimic the sounds and make everyone smile.
If I were a cockatoo, I would fly wherever I want in the jungle.
If I were a cockatoo, I’d be the loudest singer my favorite songs.
If I were a cockatoo, I would share very interesting stories of different places and their habitants.
If I were a cockatoo, I’d be a friend with some humans .
If I were a cockatoo, I would have eaten the exotic fruits every day.
But I am just a regular employee working 9-18 in a big comany and from my 18 years in Google I know that if you 've been asked on an interview "Which animal would you like to be and why?" you should answer the followinng :
I would like to be a giraffe-they are strong and see far away
Or I would like to be a dolphin -they are good teamplayers and always active and help each other
Or I would like to be squirrel- they plan ahead to be ready to meet winter, also the are good communicators
Do not say that you would like to be a lion or a wolf - it is long out of date and you will look like an ancient generation Y

Deutsch Übung 4
Heute bin ich lang ausgeschlafen, was sehr schön war. Um 11 Uhr habe ich Krafttraining gemacht. Ich möchte meine Musklen verstärken, deshalb trainiere ich wenigstens zweimal pro Woche. Dann habe ich geduscht und meine Haare glatt gemacht. Nachdem habe ich Mittagessen gemacht. Zum Mittagessen gab es Nudeln mit Sojasoße, Gemüse, und eine Eier. Als ich Mittagessen gegessen habe, habe ich Fernseh geschaut. Jetzt muss ich mich fertig machen, weil ich mit einer Freudin zu Happy Hour gehe. Nach der Happy Hour gehe ich zu eine Pasta und Wein Party. Ich freue mich darauf, sozialisieren zu können. Morgen gebe ich freiwillig Nachhilfe zu Zwie Kinder aus Sambia und gehe zu eine Gebürtstagfeier. Vor der Gebürtstagfeier muss ich leider arbeiten.

都市の歴史
２０年前、グーグルマップがストリートビューの写真をとて始めました。ちょっと長い間になったから、１つ目の写真を見たら、都市の変更を見えます。消えた建物、更新の建物、どこに公園が使ったのなどが見えます。私は２０１２年に故郷から出ました。私の両親も故郷を出たから、故郷の都心はめったに行きません。そのため、２０２５年の写真を見たら「それは新しいですね？」とおもうことになりました。
子供の頃に、故郷の人口は５万の人でした。今の人口は６万の人でした。人口が上がっても、都心が小さくなりました。しかし、子供の頃より、残りの都心は美しくなりました。出たときも、都心は不健康でした。２００８年の不況が都市をすごく影響しました。その時に多くの人（若い人こそ）が故郷を出て、ダブリンやアメリカやオーストラリアに行きました。

Swimming!
I’ve started a new sport this year and I’m happier than I could expect!
I learnt to swim at school when I was about 10 years old, but my technique was pretty basic and I was not confident at all. For example, I didn’t put my head under the water, as I didn’t like it, but you can’t have an efficient swim by this way and you will be quickly exhausted.
However, I love swimming in pools or at the beach during holidays, or even just the pleasure of floating in the water. So I had that idea in my head for many years that one day I would take some lessons to improve my swimming skills.
On last September, I moved in a new house and by chance there is a public swimming pool at less than ten minutes by foot. So, no excuse anymore!
I subscribed the lessons for a year, one hour a week except during the school holidays when there are no lessons. However, I hadn’t imagined learning swimming would be so difficult at the very beginning!
I really struggled to manage my breathing. Nothing could be more logical than exhaling under the water and inhaling above it. Nevertheless, in practice my brain was overwhelmed by trying to do the right movement for every body part at the right time. As soon as I lost my concentration, the punishment was immediate : I swallowed water, I choked and I panicked!
Thanks to the coach’s exercices and support, I haven’t given up and I’ve even made such progress than I’m now able to do a swim lap — 25 metres — almost without a pause for 3 swimming styles — front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke.
I’m eager to improve myself even more until I can glide over the water!

A birthday, a "P" and the answer to everything (first part)
Yesterday I went to a friend of mine's birthday party. We met last year at a language exchange event at the university in my city. I might have mentioned it in one of my texts here on Langcorrect.
Even though the room where the language exchange takes place was closed, my friend also invited some people that work at the organisation that manages this event, so we could party there.
When my friend invited me, she specified that the event was themed: everyone had to get dressed as something that starts with the same first letter as their name. Since my name is Pietro, my letter was "P".
Initially I thought of some unoriginal costumes (like "the pirate"), but then I had an idea: I'm going to dress up as a "problem"! I wrote a funny and meaningless math formula and I generated with ChatGPT a math frame. Then I did the same thing with the back of the image, where I wrote the solution: 42, a reference to the book “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy”. I printed everything and hung these papers around my neck with some twine. I even bought some post-its where I wrote some funny sentences to "help" people solve the problem. I wrote sentences like "It seems easy, but it's not" or "We explained this in class".

On The Verge of Death
A few weeks ago, me and my family were having a splendid sunday evening: After attending an organ concert, we went to dine in an Italian restaurant I had found online several days before. It had thousands of excellent reviews and was located in the very heart of Moscow. At first, everything was just perfect: We had ordered our meals and were more than satisfied with both the prices and the food quality. It was rather cold outside, so we also got some fruit tea to warm us up. As I was finishing my third cup of this delicious beverage, I noticed some small glass fragments at the bottom of the cup. Yes, some glass fragments! In my third cup! I instantly felt my stomach growling and, becoming aghast, looked at the glass teapot and noticed that one part of it was missing. Now, I understand that the drink must have been so scalding that that part could just imperceptibly break and fall inside the teapot. The most terrifying fact was that I did not know the amount of glass I had consumed, if any. I can not describe that ineffable feeling of fear and apprehenshion one his covered with in such situations. Everything went well eventually, and I didn't have a single symptom of any intestinal problems. The whole story is so absurd and unprobable that I was not even sure about posting it here. I think I will never forget this evening.
