Letting Go and Getting Together, at the Tea Spoon Cafe

    Well, as I have shared with you brilliant news about how I got in Saint-Petersburg State University I believe I should tell you, my dear friends, how I got out of it. I quit University about a month ago. As the first semester ended I realised that there was no point for me to suffer further on. I always loved art and still do, but studying History of Art is not the same as creating it. I am not an artist but I love to draw and paint and just admire art monuments. And picking at it, picking it apart somehow blinded me from the beauty of it all. Art can be beautiful and it can be ugly, in my opinion it always carries a message. Maybe art historians try to get all the "how's" and "why's" and "what's" but by doing so meticulously and determined they kill all the beauty and uglyness and what ever they find - they put it there themselves, in the eternal search for themselves as the persons.
     Undoubtedly, there are facts and logic and evolution of style and principal but to me it wasn't enough or maybe there was too much of it.
     So as of now, I am a free person and I am in the process of brewing my future plans as what to do with my life. I have a pretty good idea and a final goal, it's just how I get there that I need to work out.
I went to St.Pet. last fryday and collected documents from the University and I couldn't not meet with as of now my foremer groupmates and dear friends.

My beautiful friends Khristina and Anastasya, and me. I wish Olesya was there as well when we took pictures. And Khristina Grikkis and Nastya Pidenko. I miss you girls.

That's how I like my picture taken.

There they are, we tried that timer on the camera - it got skewed a bit but girls are so cute.

P.S. - I am so glad to be out of those hideous dorms! I can't find words to describe how happy I am to be out of it.
