4 years and a wedding

This august me and Maxim have celebrated the 4th anniversary of our relationships. This is amazing! Ive never been dating for so long! To celebrate it we visited Petergof, to remember how it all began. 4 years ago we walked together there, and decided to begin dating:)
Also, I've bought a new camera, and it was a perfect chance to test it.
Here are the photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/Mrakoriska/ZGigaC
The second piece of news is my friend Marina's marriage. She invited me and two more girls to her native town Novosibkov. This is a very small town, near Belarus. The wedding was very jolly, the people were realy friendly and kind. We had a lot of fun there, and of course, I came back with many photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/Mrakoriska/wkfUu

If only..

I started to think about my future... What will happen to me in couple of years? And in 5, 10, 20? I don't know anything about my future profession.. Of course, you may think that if I study to be an English and German teacher, I will definitely become a teacher. But I guess I've made a wrong choise when I entered this department.. What to do.. I can't leave it, because I have to study for one more year only, but I don't want to be a simple teacher.. I think I'm not ready for this job and I'll never be ready.. It's too complicated, noisy because of children, and nervous.. I always wanted to travel a lot, but I have a problem with my back - two years ago my spine was broken in a car crash.. For now it is all right, but it still hurts sometimes, when I have to sit or stand still for a long time, or to work in the garden.. If only I had such a job, that fitted me perfectly, but the problem is that I'm not sure what do I want to do after all.. Of course, I want to have a lot of time for my hobby, and to have a family with a loving husband, a couple of children and a big parrot.. But to be a simple housewife is not my choise also... I can't sit at home all the time, I need to have fun, to travel.. And nobody can give me a good piece of advice..

I'm sick now, and have a couple of days to have a rest from my studies at the university, and of course, to bead something. As a result, I beaded a collar "Amethyst lotus" and started a new one, inspired by the "Avatar" movie. In these collars I used a new flower created all by myself, without any schemes, however I'm not sure whether someone has already made the similar before.. Anyway, here it is, "Amethyst lotus".

Sorrow

It is really sad when our relatives pass away... My grandmother died last Saturday. I can't believe it even now.. She will be buried this Wednesday.. She was very ill, and the doctors said in the hospital that it was a miracle that she was still alive. Now I have no grandparents at all. Firstly I coudn't feel anything and I didn't cry at all, and only today the tears came. I can't imagine that I won't see her again. I'm so afraid that I will burst into tears when I see her there in the coffin..
Maybe it will seem strange to someone, but I have beaded all this sad time. This collar is dedicated to my beloved grandmother.. I will always remember her. Here it is:
"My crystal dreams"

I've almost forgot that I have a diary here)) Now I have only one examination left - Theory and Practise of Translation on 28th January.. I've passed German and English already, and a lot of credits too. And then I'll have to work at school - as my 2-months practise begins on 1st February. In January and December I didn't bead at all - just hadn't any time for that. Now I'm making a new collar in strawberry colours.. God, I missed my beading so much!

It is amazing how fast the time flies! It is november already! The New Year's day is not so far away now... My boyfriend is sick, I haven't seen him for two weeks and I really miss him. My mother thinks he has swine flu, but maybe it is just a simple cold. My study is a real bore, I don't know if I'm strong enough to finish it someday. Today we baked cakes together with mom and granny)) And at this very moment I'm beading a new collar - in black&white, for one of my teachers in university. It is realy nice when you have such a wonderful hobby, that can even bring you some extra pocket money)

This week was realy tiresome for me. Every evening of these two weeks I came back home from the study, and all I could do was just lying in the bed and sleeping like a deadman. And when I woke up, I didn't have time for anythig - even for my beading, because on the next morning I had more lessons, and more homework to do. I've been studying only for two weeks, but I've tired so much, as if it was a whole semester.

Study and disappointment

Today is the 7th September, and the 7th day of my study. I have a lot of new teachers this year - actually, I knew only two of them. We have 3 German teachers, and three English teachers as well - each for Grammar, Speaking and Reading. And each of them demands to do a lot of homeworks(( Also, I'll have to write two course works in this year, to have a two-months practise in one of the schools in Gatchina, where I'll teach English and German to the young learners. In January, in the winter session, I'll have to pass 3 exams, and some credits - 7 or 8, I can't tell for sure. So this year will be quite difficult, and I won't have any chance to relax, and even for beading.
As for my life, I went to Lesha and Olgas' wedding, I gave them my beaded mice, they loved them very much)) Also I gave Olga a beautiful bracelet, but she even didn't try it on... That was a great disappointment, because I spent a lot of best Japanise beads on it, and I've been beading it for a whole night long before the wedding. I even didn't manage to photo it one the hand, because I had no time for that. Here it is... I will really miss him((( I think that I wasted it for nothing - Olga hardly thanked me for it...

Well, yesterday I was on Sergey's birthday. I've met a lot of interesting men there:) We gave Sergey 25 roses - he was so surprised)) I drank red wine. others - cognac. In the end of the party we were dancing and everything was very nice. If only I hadn't this auful hangover today ))))
Yesterday I've created a bracelet - and lost it on the birthday party... I even didn't manage to make photos of it. I hope Sergey will find it and give it back to me.

Just another ordinary day

Today I walked with my best friend Natasha. She doesn't have much time now, because she works in my mother's shop, so we had many-many things to discuss... This Saturday our friend Sergey invited us on his birthday party, and we decided to give him 25 roses as a present(he will be 25 years old), and also to bake him a cake:) Tomorrow my boyfriend will come to me after his work... I miss him so much...

As for my beading, now I'm creating another mouse, like the one in my album. I'm going to give these two mice as a present for my friends' wedding - they were born in the year of mouse))

My works

By the way, I'd like to show my works. These are web-sites, where I usually show my works - vkontakte.ru, biser.info . These are Russian sites, so I decided to make more albums in English, so that not only Russian-speaking people could read the information about my works)

• My beaded animals&toys
• Necklaces & other jewellery
• My Beaded Flowers
  

Here I am

So, today I've decided to create this blog just to practice my English) Here I'll post my beadworks, and tell what is happening in my everydaylife :)
Well, what can I tell about myself?.. First of all, I'm a student of the Pushkin University (that sounds "LGU imeni Puskina" in Russian). I study there English and German, but English is my main speciality) In 2 years I'll receive a diploma and become an English teacher(and German as
well)


As for my life, I live with my parents in a cottage, and we have a dog and a cat. Also, I have friends(not many, but they are the closest ones) and a boyfriend. His name is Maxim. We've been dating for 3 years already. Our friends say that we are a beautiful couple, and often ask us why we haven't got married yet) We don't think about getting married, because we're not ready for that, and, besides, I'm not sure that I realy want to be someone's wife:) Of course we love each other, but I think that we shouldn't hurry up with the marriage.

As for my hobbies, I create different beaded necklaces, bracelets, flowers and toys. I'm not a professional, but I've got some interesting works in my gallery, and recently I decided to sell some of my works. I've sold a few bracelets and toys, not much, but still something:)
