Why Tomsk?
In 1875, the Emperor Alexander 2 ordered to establish the first University in the Siberia. It was necessary to choose a city for the founding of the University. Tobolsk that mentioned in decrees of the Emperor by the end of the 19th century ceased to be the main city in the Eastern part of the Empire. It’s administrative functions moved to Omsk. Tobolsk was not touched by industrial growth of the second half of the century. Gradually railroads was developing, the role of the Siberian tract, crossed the city, was decreasing. The list of cities applying for the University accommodation included Krasnoyarsk, Ircutsk, Tomsk and Omsk. It soon became clear that the fight will be between the last two. Omsk was administrative center of the West Siberia. Moreover, it had a significant resource in the person of the Governor-General N.G. Kaznakov. Was put forward the argument that there were a lot of exiles in Tomsk and there was a danger that the University will be felt under their influence. However, Professor V. Florincky intervened in the situation. He gathered arguments in favor of Tomsk and released an article with arguments against the building of the University in Omsk. He wrote that Omsk is the military city and it is indifferent to science, there was not industry in the city and it lives only on funds of the state Treasury. Moreover, the Omsk Duma had allocated for the construction of the University the place that was not the most suitable. Tomsk in those years already was the center of Russia's largest province, which included the Krasnoyarsk, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, and part of Kazakhstan. It was the largest transportation hub of all the Siberian land and river ways. Trade developed here, was opened secondary educational institutions, educational and charitable societies. In the end, the commission that was created for the solution of the problem chose Tomsk. Governor-General of the Omsk had to content with opening of the West-Siberian Department of Russian Imperial geographical society. It is considered that the Commission’s decision was influenced by the active position of the public and monetary advantage of Tomsk. For example Z.N Tsibulsky, the city’s richest businessman, donated 140.000 rubles. Local writer Nicolai Yadrintsev wrote that in Omsk people would tolerate the science, but in Tomsk people would cherish the science.

Working day
Nowadays all life depends on the daily routine. It depends on character of the person and his or her job. However, majority of people usually have the same schedule of working day. We wake up around the same time; we go to bed around the same time. It makes our life similar. We get up, clean our teeth, wash face, go to the job, university or school. Later we come back at home, have a dinner and wind an alarm clock in order not to oversleep the usual start of the next day. However, some of us are early birds, and the others we can called as night person. Most often this separation apply our leisure time. Everybody has his own favorite occupation. Somebody likes an active rest. They prefer to practice yoga or to do a sport. Others like relaxing stay. For example, reading books or watching TV. Students are not exception. However, studying takes all our time. Often we have not leisure time. All time we read up for our seminars, attend our classes and optional courses and prepare for our exams. However, some of students miss their classes or chat with friends during the time, when a teacher explain a new topic. So, every student choose own day routine.

I think, that it is necessary to see world with your own eyes. During the trip, you can see real people, real places and they often don’t correspond with thoughts about them. During the trip you can pay attention to so small things, like special smells or lights that nobody noticed and it will the greatest, the most important thing that you learned about the place that you visited.

Meetings with various people make our life brighter, allow to see the world from different points of view. There are no ideal people in the world. However, some people have such traits that, undoubtedly, attract. We strive to communicate with lavish, friendly, honesty people. We strive to avoid cruel, stupid, irritable, rude people. There are a lot of stereotypes in our society, which make us to judge people by appearances. We often think that people with irregular features, for example protrude chin, hooked nose, ugly face may be angry, hypocritical or vain. People with beautiful features and constitution usual attract us and make us think that they are intelligent, polite and clever. However, appearance often deceptive. But one thing we know for sure: some of traits can help to achieve some aims. For example, if person diligent, stubborn, determined, he will be well in business.

It means that we ourselves can change our live if we change ourselves. However, it is difficult way and it is necessary to work much over itself. But it's worth it.

Some houses may be set on the tree or stand on the top of mountain. These dwellings for those who likes to stand out from the crowd. However, the majority of people accustomed to live in the ordinary block of flats or in cottage. They accustomed to live in ordinary residential area. They are satisfied with usual dwellings with usual lounge, sitting room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom… They think that everybody needs just modern conveniences for happy life. For example, electricity, water supply, central heating… Moreover, some people really like to live in cramped hut in countryside or even in the forest. They live without double-glazing, air conditioning, leisure facilities, garage or patio. They think that it is not important to live close to the shops or public transport. Everyone chooses his own house. Different houses are comfortable for different people. I think that it is necessary for everybody to find the house that will be ideal for yourself.

Every family has a skeleton in the cupboard
Every family has a skeleton in the cupboard
This proverb means that every family has a guilty secret that it does its utmost to conceal from the world. I think, that it is true and most likely, the person dissembles, when says that he or she has nothing to hide, because everyone certainly has at least one «skeleton in the cupboard». «Skeleton in the cupboard» is not just secret it is usually unpleasant memory. It is a memory, which we want to forget and do not want to remember. I think that our memory is the cupboard full of old things. Sometimes we want to remember some pleasant minutes spend with close people. It is difficult to forget some things, which remind about some problems and troubles. Usually we shared these memories with our relatives. It becomes our common «skeleton in the cupboard». After some time it becomes our family skeleton. Seeing on the some families you can think, that they have not such dark secrets, but usually you are wrong.
