Some news on what is going on with me here).

On Friday I will have a French exam T.E.F. - so wish me good luck! It is a bit equal to IELTS, except that they deduct scores for wrong answers. It’s a bit weird, but I’ll live with that.

Every second day I visit Respublika book store and work on the business section shelves. This is a very interesting experience. While I’m there, I talk with visitors, see what they are looking for, try to understand their needs and catch their reaction. This communication with client brings me to the side of customer and that’s fantastic! I really enjoy working in this way, as a consultant. More to come ;).

A few evenings a week I watch some tv series. My favorites, for the moment, are: Lost, Jericho and, of course, Heroes! The most fantastic is that you can download them from the web, with professional translation, before it appears on tv. Moreover, Jericho and Heroes are not shown in Russia at all! There are even several translation groups, who compete with each other. And again - you can download them absolutely for free. Internet is changing our interaction with media in a brutal way.

The last is the book I’m finishing right now. "The 7 habits of highly effective people" by Stephen Covey. This is a book number one for everybody. If you hadn’t a chance to read it - do it now. This will change a lot in your life.
