What a surprise ...

I really didn´t know who I live with till today:) My flatmate is in Paris "being involved in the conference on human rights and democratic values." That seems to be very professional and academic! But it´s great. When I was reading it I thought that the last sentence will sound like: So, I am sorry but I have to go now. I forgot to buy that wonderful jacket at Vuitton and I am really worried that it will be sold out. And that would be A DISASTER! I would not have matching item to my new Vivienne Westwood´s shoes! That would be funny though. But some day it might be true. Anyway, I hope Suzanne is (and will be) ok in Paris - people there came out on strike.

Well, I have just seen my photos from my matriculation. It´s weird cause I am at most of them. I stand in the first row so everybody can admire "wonderful" Kate:) But on the other hand, I will have a lot of photos to show my grankids - one meaning of life at least.

I go now because I am hungry. I´m at home at my mama. Therefore there must be something to eat .. there is ALWAYS something to eat!

First Impressions

Hey people!

I am sitting in the Paris hotel Renaissance being involved in the conference on human rights and democratic values between the EU and Russia. It is pretty hot right now. There's a discussion about a relationship between Russia and the EU and it has been started by an innocent question asked by a girl who wanted to know what is a definition of "values" from the russian view and it, of course, made angry a main russian leader. The argue has become really hot.

Does the EU have a common opinion on Kosovo issue?

To say a few words about the hotel I am just amazed. The hotel has four stars so the rooms are truly beautiful, with amazing view from the window and with five pillows on each bed! We are all impressed.

The truth is that some kind of barrier has been built between Russians and other Europeans. To be honest I didn't expect this. I thought that if we launch this kind of discussion including more foreign students, the atmosphere will be open for all opinions and views, not only for expressing strong statements on particular topics. Russians are quite sensitive while talking about Kosovo or Chechenia.

I will write more when I get more impressions.

What a prospect!

It's November and that can only mean that Christmas and finals are drawing closer and closer. We are going to take the first exams very soon. I am sure we are both stressed and scared. Hard to believe the time passes so quickly.

I have great news. I am going to Paris next week! I am so happy that my school offers these opportunities. I've met princess Ann, I am going to Paris and in MarchI will go to Brussels. This trip to Paris is completely for free. Everything is paid by the organization. That's even better! And what's more I won't miss any class because my flight is on Thursday evening and return is on Sunday. And what's the best - we have holidays on Monday!

I am sad because Kate goes home every weekend and leaves me here. I understand that it's better to be at home, there are better conditions for studying and sleeping. Private happiness.

I am not really sure if someone reads our lines. There are no comments. Maybe someone could be so nice and make us happy by leaving some warm words for us ;-)
