Cats
Every once in a while, I run into cats on my way to class. It makes my day as a cat person. I always stop in my tracks to take pictures of them and try to capture every angle. I usually offer my hand and let them sniff. If I'm lucky, this turns into a full-blown petting session that could last several minutes. They're such wonderful little creatures.

April
Als ich vorgestern zurück in Moskau angekommen bin, hat es stark geschneit und die Temperatur ist bis zu bloßen 0 Grad gesunken. Viele Bäume waren umgekippt und dadurch wurden auch etliche Autos beschädigt. Heute hat es lange geregnet und danach sogar gehagelt...
Das Gute ist, dass laut dem Wetterbericht soll sich die Situation hier bald grundlegend verändern, da bereits am Sonntag ganze 21 Grad erwartet werden. April, April, der weiß nicht, was er will!

Los acentos.
Español y inglés tienen un montón de acentos muy variados. Es muy fácil de decir, por ejemplo, si una persona hispanohablante viene de Mexico o Chile, juzgando por su acento y “slang”. Aunque esta diversidad puede ser engorrosa para los aprendices de estos idiomas, creo que es asombroso que hay tanta variedad. Personalmente, decidí tratar de imitar el acento rioplatense y algún acento estadounidense, en español y inglés respectivamente. En ruso, por otro lado, generalmente no hay acentos. De hecho, sí existen, pero son tan imperceptibles, que solo un par de palabras o un modo de pronunciar letras individuales especifico pueden revelar la origen de la persona. Esto se debe a la educación sovetica estandarizada, uno de cuyos propósitos era eradicar toda la variedad. Si no fuera por esto, creo que habríamos tenido los acentos y dialectos más desarollados y distintivos.

The Meaning of Success
Success is a tricky concept for me. It's not as easily defined as scientific facts and mathematical axioms. I didn't know it then but I used to think that success meant gathering accolades and becoming wealthy. Part of the reason why I thought that way was society. Society often tells us that the road to success is a linear path: study well, land a high-paying job, own a nice house, and build a great family.
It all changed once I had my first taste of failure. I didn't get the accolades I desperately sought. I ran myself to the ground all for nothing. Then, I started to question what it was all for. It turned out I was merely chasing the wisps of success totally at odds with who I really am. I mistook validation for happiness.
At this point in my life, I think success is about being present in the moment. It's appreciating the little things in life while seeking to grow, one step at a time. This definition of success may not apply to everyone but it's what suits me best.

時間の価値
時間の価値を味わったらいいだけど、最近時間をのたのた過ごしている感じがある。一方、二年前の私より今は趣味を深く楽しんでいる。以前、仕事が終わる後家に帰ってビデオゲームをやって、携帯でスクロールしていた習慣があった。現在ビデオゲームの上に編み物、販売、読書するのを大好きだ。そして私には暇な時間は大切だと思う。
さらに、将来での残り時間に関してよく考えている。それは悲しそうだけど、死ぬことではなく、それより「三十歳になるまで何をしたらいい？」のような質問だ。子供の頃から何とかスポーツをやったり仲間のグループにいたりことがしたいだ。しかし実際に、時々ヨガをするしかスポーツをやらなく、友達のメッセージに返信するのをよく忘れてしまう。フルタイムに働いている人は、「趣味をするし友達と喋るより、暇な時間で体や心を癒す方がいい」と思われるかもしれない。但し、幸いなことに残り時間がまだたくさんある。様々な活動が試したいだと思う。人生が一つしかないだから。

British understatement
During the Korean War, a tragic misinterpretation of the word "sticky" led to a significant loss of life among British troops. In 1951, the 650 men of the British Gloucestershire Regiment found themselves heavily outnumbered, fighting against 10,000 Chinese soldiers at the Imjin River.
Despite facing overwhelming odds, when an allied American general asked, "How are the Gloucesters doing?", the British commanding officer simply replied, "A bit sticky, things are pretty sticky down there."
To the British, this was a classic understatement meaning, "We are in a completely dire situation." However, the American general took it to mean, "Things are a little tough, but it's not that bad." As a result, the Americans didn't send any reinforcements.
Although the Gloucesters fought valiantly, around 500 British soldiers were ultimately killed or taken prisoner. This tragedy occurred all because the British general used an understated expression—"sticky"—that the Americans completely misunderstood.

Although it was a day nothing happened, dishes were yummy! w
Today, it was a day nothing special. Only I did were watching YouTube and doing weight training. It was a very boring day, but diets were yummy! I ate a steamed bread for breakfast, a chicken set meal for lunch, and cheese rice gratin. I cooked all of them! I don't know why meals made by myself are delicious like that. Although today dairy entry is as short as yesterday one, I'll finish writing it because I am very sleepy...

Hello
Hi, I haven't had the time to write these past weeks, and honestly my mind forgot to begin. I think it's complicated to study the language as well as the law degree, to be a mom and work. Well, I might be wrong. My routine usually starts at 5:00 AM and ends 9:00 PM or 10: 00 PM. I usually rest on Sundays; the rest of the days I try to get everything done. Maybe it is not as complicated as I see it. Even so, thank you for your corrections, have a good day everyone.

Gestern
Gestern bin ich zum Theater gegangen. Es war nicht real Theater, es war eine Schauspiel von alte Frauen die in diese Stadt seit viele Jahre wohne.
Sie schilderten seine Erinnerungen, als unseren Stadt viele anderse war. Leute waren viel armer, aber es war eine großer Gemeinschaftsgefühl. Ich mag meine Zeit lieber.

On Reevaluating Worldviews
When I was younger, I used to be an ardent believer in capitalism. I believed that it was the system that brought the most prosperity to humanity. I was convinced that the invisible hand of the market fairly distributed wealth among all sectors of society. I thought that poverty was born out of generations of poor decisions and laziness. But then, cracks began to appear in my former mindset after I discovered that corporations account for most of the pollution on the planet. I was shocked that the prevailing supply chains and the life cycle of commodities led to so much waste and inhumane working conditions. This started a rabbit hole of research into the systemic inequalities inherent in the current system. I found out that the average employee's wages and labor aren't commensurate with the amount of profit they bring to their companies. My laissez-faire assumption that corporate profits will trickle down to the masses was shattered by the realities on the ground. It turned out that corporations are primarily profit-driven and will do whatever it takes to maximize said profit, even if it means exploiting their employees and consumers. For capitalism to work, it requires an underclass who have no choice but to be paid peanuts. Thus, it is in their best interests to pursue policies that ensure a steady supply of cheap and compliant workforce.
It was an eye-opening experience to say the least. I felt uncomfortable and disturbed throughout the whole process since it led to painful realizations. I had to confront the fact that I was sorely mistaken and naive in my earlier convictions. However, it was necessary. It made me realize that we have to confront and interrogate the contradictions that exist in our society. We have to be critical of not only the status quo, but also ourselves in order to grow. I do not regret this experience one bit and would gladly relive it.

Correction : Notre séjour à Munich.
Ma femme et moi, nous avons visité Munich récemment.
Notre hôtel était très près d'une station de métro
L'hôtel était près de la place centrale du vieux Munich.
Nous nous avons flâné dans la vieille ville.
Nous nous sommes promenés le long des boulevards de Munich.
Nous nous sommes tellement amusés que nous ne voulions pas rentrer.
