Reading Tom Hanks I recently started to read a book written by Tom Hanks and so far I amazed by his talent. Even though I probably don't get about 70% of a hidden meaning it still very enjoyable to read. It even sometimes makes my day by giving the opportunity to see everything in perspective. I think it is very important to see things in perspective because in all this everyday hustle you forget about what is really important and will be important in days.

Discussion club I saw that people've done it here two years ago and I think it's great idea - to gather people who want to improve fluency in English by discussing some topics (whatever they like) through Skype. We can set the day and time the most convinient for everyone who'll join us. What do you think?

A bit about everything Today is Friday. Great. It means the end of work week. It actually will come to end within an hour and a half. I can't say that I wait for it passionatly but I like to feel that I don't HAVE to do something but do it on my own. Now I use small break for writing this entry and practice my writing skills. I haven't done it for a long time now and have to train my writing muscles (metaphorically of course). Today is a quite a gray day. It's cloudy and comparetivly warm (just about 1C above zero) but I look forward to real spring - dry ground, shiny days, blossoming trees. It's very beautiful here in Russia when apple and cherry trees start to blossom. Today I work on an Easter souvenir packajing project so it kind of keep me in this spring mood. Ok, time to go. Good day to everyone who had enough patience to read it to the end.

First day on italki Hi! It's my first day on italki. I'm trying to figure out what can I do here (except, obviously, lessons). I have recently stopped taking English lessons for some reasons (hope just temporarly), but I try to keep it by watching TV shows with English subtitles. But I have luck of speaking and writing practice and I miss it so much. So that's why I'm here. Hope, it'd be helpful.
