A masters degree? I could start mine in a year from now if I really wanted, but I don't know if I want to stay in school that long. I would really like to make a career flying, but right now I am looking for basic jobs working on repair and design of the electric systems.

Are you wanting to get a job and keep in Russia or do you want to practice what you learn in another part of the world?

I am suprised you know about us moving! My school and town is actually a few hours drive away from Houston. It's further out in the country but it's nice. I study electrical engineering but I really want to work on aircraft whenever I finish school in about a year. I am studying business too so I guess we are colleagues!

It's hard to imagine weather that cold. I think we got down to 30F here but that's as cold as it got. We have really hot summers though, around 105F in the day when it gets to the middle of the season.

So what do you do Alina? I assume you are a student since you are taking the course. Are you looking at working with aircraft as a career?

I do happen to work with a lot of foreign students. While I am in college I also work as an adviser for new students living at the school. We have a few classes here that teach basic Russian but I have not taken them and we do not have a lot of Russian students this far south. We host a lot of international study programs with students in the middle east so that is where most of our foreign students come from. I grew up in Houston in the southern part of the states.

Do you mean that Novosibirk is the third largest city in Russia? I know my father has had the chance to travel to your country so maybe he passed through sometime! Most people say that the winter there is very harsh, is that true?

Hi there Alina! It's my first day on here and you popped up as a random penpal so I figured I'd stop by to say hello. Can't say I know much about Russia though I certainly would like to learn!

Living in America just isn't for me. My family never taught me of my heritage so I had to do research on my own. I'm mixed, but I'm mostly Irish, and I feel like once I get to Ireland I'll finally be home. I'll finally belong somewhere. I have a bunch of other friends who want to go back to the countries they came from too.

Everyone has they're own dreams and reasons for relocating. :)

Hi Alina,

I hope it's fine if I answer in english. :) Thanks for your correction. I changed it to "торговое право". How do you liked to study law?

Я не аспирант. I study in my spare time and on my own cost, but I hope to get promoted afterwards. :)

Greetings

P.S.: yoga is the right word for йога.

Привет Алина!

Нет. Я действительно думал бизнес закона. По-английски: business law. По-немецки: Wirtschaftsrecht. Ты знаешь что лучший вариант перевода на русский язык?

Что ты учиться в университете?

Пока,
Даниель
