Well, September's right here. 

We should work a lot, waste energy and exhaust our karma. But...stop. We've forgotten about one warm autumn's week, when we can enjoy last sunny lights and mild wind. Stop worrying about the summer's ending. Look through the window: autumn is a very beautiful season! All trees're yellow, orange, red. They look so bright under the grey sky. Cheer up, guys! 

lots of love, Eugenie

Hey, August, how is it going?

That's our last summer month and we have one more week to relax, so spend it like it's your last summer month in your life (just kidding, guys ;)

Be ready to work hard and enjoy your time in autumn, 

lots of love, Eugenie

Hello everyone!

Without asking us, July little by little is coming to end. And that's very disappointing, because I haven't relaxed yet (as usual). If I could, I would like to spend some more months doing nothing (except reading books, walking, visiting cinema and etc). But no, summer can't be endless. We should go to school, work and do a lot of exercises. Stop, we have one more month - August, so spend it like it's your last month, do what you want and relax!

lots of love, Eugenie

xoxo

Summer days are so relaxing, but I still have to worry. Next week I have the last exam. Can't wait to pass it :( 

I feel a lit bit disappointed, because I can't practice my English with native speakers this summer and I think I can forget it. But if I find some books in English I won't lose my knowledge.

I wish all of you this summer to be the best in your life. Spend it how you want and enjoy every day of sunny or rainy summer. 

lots of love, Eugenie

Hrayr,

I hope, MU will still be a good team with Moyes, but I'll miss Sir Alex. Next year will show how it's going. 

I tried to find site, where we can watch that match, but I have found only posts about last year's match. Mb we can watch it in the evening on records in vk groups. Even Eurosport app keeps silence about that match. Disappointing :(

Two Olegs will leave us next education year, so I and Polina and mb Julia will stay. How could they?

Hope to see your posts soon!

lots of love, Eugenie

Football)

I really respct Ferguson & his job, but MU will be a good team without him too. I will watch, but when it will be? There was one match beetwen Real & MU veterans. Real won 4:3 as I remember)). P.S.Zinedine will be Real sport director again from next season.
Here is the video Real Madrid C.F. - Manchester United F.C. 3:2 legends match

Hrayr Hovakimyan

The same: for Hrayr

Are you going to watch charity match between MU and Real? I think it'll be very interesting! Especially, to see Zinedin again. 

Write me soon!

lots of love, Eugenie

xoxo

For Hrayr

Gosh, I haven't and won't watch it:) 

I was interested only in EPL, now it has ended, so no interest. And MU are champions, I'm so proud, but I'll miss Sir Alex :( 

I read about some "fans" who said that without SAF and Scholes MU is nothing and they won't be for this team. "FANS" are sooo funny. 

Write me soon!

best wishes, Eugenie

About Football

No, I have not seen it, but I imagine. This was the first time in my life when Brcelona's & Real'S fans support each other. That was very strange & interesting. I think I won't watch the final.

Today I wondered: why I always write that the week was difficult. I live very intensive life? I exaggerate facts? Don't know. But that week was really hard. Everyday we had test or pre-exam. I went to bed deep in the night. But weekend's coming! The best news...

I'm looking for award our EF's outdoors lesson. It'll be great day.

lots of love, Eugenie 

xoxo

For Hrayr.

Thanks, Hrayr, I'm not bad, but coming exams make me feel sooo nervous. I know, these exams aren't so important but I really want to pass them well. 

I don't know about the last lesson, but Sarah said it'll be in June.

Have you seen a funny and tragic picture about fans of Barcelona and Real?

When Barcelona played with Bavaria, on her side were only Real's fans and on Bavaria's side were fans of other teams like Chelsea, MU and etc? And when there was a play between Real and Borussia on the side of Real there were fans of Barcelona and on the Borussia's there were fans from Chelsea and other's teams who were on the Bavaria's side.

Have you seen it?

I think I can't find it right now, I'm so sorry :(

So close.

Time's running and I shall prepare for my exams. Next week will be annoying and very-very difficult, 'cause every day I'll write tests. I think I'll die, really! I'm so exhausted and have headaches every day. But I did a big project for my German exam, so I feel proud ^^

Talking about our EF's classes, we have a great theme for project. I do love Japan and I was so happy to know that we've chosen this country. I understand that I can draw a lot of wonderful pictures for it. Also I have a plenty of ideas for this project. Only when I think about it I feel well.

On 9th of March I and my friends went to the roof of the shop and had a beautiful view of fireworks. Few days later may be I'll post some pictures of it. We had a wonderful time together. My friends are the best in the whole world, you know haha ;)

So, have fun and remember to read our blog ;) (I'm sure, somebody reads our posts)

lots of love, Eugenie

xoxo

OK ....

Thank you Jane, I am OK! Preparing fro my exams and "Last Ring" concert. What about you?
When is EF last lesson this year?
P.S. As you see,  I didn't wright about Real - Borussia match, I was in a very bad mood, because Real was very close to play in final and try to win there, but they didn't score just one goal. But Real was really great. I am proud of REAL. We played untill the end.

Hrayr Hovakimyan for EF 

Easter and etc.

Tomorrow will be Easter, so my mother decided to find her hand-made egg and to buy some flowers. The composition is so beautiful, pretty and "springly". You can see it after the whole post.
Good news ends, now bad news.
I'm ill and yesterday I had a high temperature :( I think it's all because of our walk to the Luzhniki, where I and my friends went on the 1st May. The weather wasn't warm, so I'm pretty sure that I caught the cold there. But now I'm taking medicine.

P.S. Hrayr, nice to see you here again! How are you?

with love, Eugenie

Busy

I was busy,  so I did not wright in a blog for a long time, and I just forgot about it. So, what news do you have?
Hrayr Hovakimyan

Enjoy!

You know, what I think? I'd like to travel to these countries (some of them will be 2d or 3d time :3)

lots of love, Eugenie

HELLO

Good evening, guys!
Today I'd like to share some videos I've founded half a year ago. 

It's the EF's work to present their offer of studying in different countries. I so much like them. 
Hope, you'll enjoy it!

Yesterday I visited the exhibition in Manezh called "XXI century Photo" (or smth else, I really don't remember). I went here to see Dior Patrick Demarschelie's works, but found many other cool works. One of my fav is photo of Zinedin Zidan by the photographer who didn't want to use photoshop or other programs in his serie of works. Here it is. Enjoy!

lots of love, Eugenie

DRAW.

I felt so happy when I saw that MU played in a draw with Real. It means they didn't lose and they're still on the first place in the Premier League. It makes me incredibly happy!

with lots of love, Eugenie

p.s. Hrayr, we're missing you! ;(

Urban legends

An urban legend or urban myth is any modern, fictional story told as truth, similar to a modern folklore consisting of stories thought to be factual by those retelling them that reach a vast number of people, spread from person to person. The Old Bridge Old Man McManor was the foulest-tempered fellow you ever did see; but he owned and operated the only sawmill over in Camden, so folks had to deal with him. Whenever anyone didn’t pay on time or crossed him, he’d take out his horsewhip and flail at them until they ran away cussing or broke down crying. Polina Zamolotskikh

Urban Legends

Black Aggie

When Felix Agnus put up the life-sized shrouded bronze statue of a grieving angel, seated on a pedestal, in the Agnus family plot in the Druid Ridge Cemetery, he had no idea what he had started. The statue was a rather eerie figure by day, frozen in a moment of grief and terrible pain. At night, the figure was almost unbelievably creepy; the shroud over its head obscuring the face until you were up close to it. There was a living air about the grieving angel, as if its arms could really reach out and grab you if you weren't careful.

Black Dog of Hanging Hills

He smiled as he sipped at his coffee. It had been an excellent hike. He was glad his friend had recommended coming to the Hanging Hills in Connecticut; not the first place that had come to his mind when considering a vacation. But it was beautiful here. When his friend arrived tomorrow they would tackle some of the more challenging terrain.

Bleeding Sink

I found it extremely annoying that one of the bathrooms on my dorm was permanently closed. Especially since the cause was an urban legend. An urban legend, I tell you!

Bloody Mary

She lived deep in the forest in a tiny cottage and sold herbal remedies for a living. Folks living in the town nearby called her Bloody Mary, and said she was a witch. None dared cross the old crone for fear that their cows would go dry, their food-stores rot away before winter, their children take sick of fever, or any number of terrible things that an angry witch could do to her neighbors.

Burnt Church

She was sophisticated, poised, and cultured. In retrospect, this should have made them suspicious. A teacher like her should be presiding over a girl’s school in London or New York, not seeking a position in a small town in Georgia. But at the time, they were too delighted by her application to ask any questions.

Dancing with the Devil

The girl hurried through her schoolwork as fast as she could. It was the night of the high school dance, along about 70 years ago in the town of Kingsville, Texas. The girl was so excited about the dance. She had bought a brand new, sparkly red dress for the dance. She knew she looked smashing in it. It was going to be the best evening of her life. Then her mother came in the house, looking pale and determined.

Devil on Washington Rock

The dream was so vivid, she didn't realize at first that it was a dream. The party was crowded, the guests cheerful, the food delicious. Then a rumor began to circulate among the guests. The Devil was coming to the party. The Devil was on the way.

Don't Turn on the Light

She commandeered the room in the basement of her dorm as soon as she realized she would have to pull an all-nighter in order to prepare for tomorrow’s final exam. Her roommate, Jenna, liked to get to bed early, so she packed up everything she thought she would need and went downstairs to study . . . and study . . . and study some more.

Express Train to Hell

For days, a ragged old man had hung around the Newark Central Station. The stationmaster kept running him off, but night after night he would return. He kept accosting people, shouting: "It's coming for me! It's coming!"...

Ghost Handprints

My wife Jill and I were driving home from a friend's party late one evening in early May. It was a beautiful night with a full moon. We were laughing and discussing the party when the engine started to cough and the emergency light went on. We had just reached the railroad crossing where Villamain Road becomes Shane Road...

La Mala Hora

My friend Isabela called me one evening before dinner. She was sobbing as she told me that she and her husband Enrique were getting divorced. He had moved out of the house earlier that day and Isabela was distraught...

Llorona, Omen of Death

They say that the Llorona was once a poor young girl who loved a rich nobleman, and together they had three children. The girl wished to marry the nobleman, but he refused her. He told her that he might have considered marrying her if she had not born the three out-of-wedlock children, which he considered a disgrace...

Milk Bottles

She was just another poor, bedraggled woman, struggling to feed her family. He saw them all the time, their faces careworn, and blank. The Depression had created hundreds of them. He was one of the lucky ones who still had his grocery and money coming in to feed his family...

Sasquatch

I got up at the crack of dawn and drove to Larry's place to pick him up. We were going hiking along our favorite trail in the back of beyond. It was a sunny day, but not too hot; a perfect day for hiking. Larry and I walked along the rugged path leading into the woods, chatting off and on as the mood struck us...

Screaming Tunnel

There is a tunnel under the old railroad tracks just to the west of the Queen Elizabeth Way in Niagara Falls. It is known locally as the Screaming Tunnel. A path wanders through the tunnel and then up to an empty field on the hill. But the field was not always empty.

The Hook

Excerpted from Spooky Campfire Talesretold by S.E. SchlosserThe reports had been on the radio all day, though she hadn't paid much attention to them. Some crazy man had escaped from the state asylum. They were calling him the Hook Man...

As I promise

I promised to write in a blog) so I  do.

It was a very strange week. My mood was changing many times in a day from very bad to good and that is horrible. I must  prepare to my exams what I did last week. That was boring week except maybe Tuesday.

P.S. Than you Eugenie , I promise I will come on 6th of April.

Hrayr Hovakimyan

Usual post.

Thank you, Hrayr, for all the kind words you have said. We will miss you a lot. Don't forget to come in EF on 6th of April and bring tasty things ;)
So, this week was very very hard. I and my best friend spent two days montaging our video-present for our best friend. You know, it was my first experience of working in that program and it was successful!

with love, Eugenie

Last day in EF

That is my last lesson in English First. I was with EF about 6 years. I want say thanks to all my EF teachers, that studied me. I will always remember that experience in part of my life. Thanks to EF that gave me oportunity to know English, because it's very important now. English is now part o my life!
Thanks to all my classmates this years! That was very fun & interesting.
P.S. Goodbye. But hwo knows maybe we will see each other soon. Be happy.
Hrayr Hovakimyan

Football in my life.

This week our team of 8th class defeat 2 of 4 competators to the "South Stream". But in thursday we have  lost to 11th group 7-5. But actually our team will win this tournament.

And the news,that hit lots of people. David Beckham move on to Paris Saint Germain. I'm really happy that he returns in eurocups, and thinks that he will bring lots of good thinks to this club.

Awesome day.

Awww it was fantastic day!
Much time passed since I had last party like this!
I and my friends went to the shop RESPYBLIKA situated on the Mayakovskaya station. We spent here two hours, I guarantee my words! Then we went to the Starbucks and wasted our time laughing out loud, taking photos and joking. That was amazing time! I enjoyed every minute of it. So, I came back home at 8 o'clock and in the morning I went to school at 7.45. I haven't been at home more than 12 hours and I feel exhausted, but happy. I can't describe all my feelings.
Guys, I should say thank to you. You made me the happiest girl in the world. THANK U VERY MUCH

with love, Eugenie

Top 10 phobias

The top 10 weird phobias from around the world

A lot of us have similar hang-ups that give us the heebie-jeebies, whether we freely admit them or not. Fear of commitment. Fear of public speaking. Fear of getting caught with the boss’ daughter. All of them are so common, they’re more or less considered normal. Other phobias are really random, and however unlikely, people still freak out about them. There’s chorophobia, for example, which is the fear of dancing. It’s also unusual in that it’s quite possibly the only phobia curable by alcohol. Another one on the fringe is the fear of food, or cibophobia. Armed with that morsel, at least we know one more difference between Nicole Richie andBritney Spears. And some phobias haven't officially been medically-deemed so and yet  they still scare the bejesus out of us. Here come our top 10 weird phobias.

Number 10

Phobophobia

Fear of fear or fear of developing a phobia

How common is it? Don’t worry about it and you’ll be controlling the count…

Somehow, FDR’s first inaugural address wouldn’t have sounded as snappy if he assured us we have nothing to fear but phobophobia. The fear of fear, or the fear of developing a phobia, lands as our No. 10 phobia and one that strikes as either really avoidable or really tough to cure. It's not an "official" phobia, so when the notion first occurs, you’re best off being too lazy to spend the time and effort establishing it. That’s because once you’re in, you’re in.

Number 9

Nephophobia

Fear of clouds

How common is it?  Not very, but a strong concern among those on solar-powered life support…

At No. 9, we have what could alternately be an interruption to natural Vitamin D intake. OK, the dark and/or funnel variety can be cause for concern, but what’s wrong with the placidly floating puffy guys? Puzzling. Generally speaking, if you identify with this and you live in England, you’re jolly-well screwed. A bout of nephophobia could be all the more reason to relocate to the Caribbean. So, do you think an HMO would buy that excuse? We’re just saying…

Number 8

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Fear of long words

How common is it? Well, the White House is concerned, though we’re not sure whether that reflects a national crisis or a personal interest…

Consider the typical CEO’s penchant for $20-words to explain why he got a performance bonus for driving his company further down the tubes. Think back to lecturing college professors trying to justify their tenure with syllables gone wild. Or just turn on your local public access TV channel and watch wacko activists’ rants about government conspiracies involving sunflowers. Given all that, we can easily see why you’d want to steer clear of long words, but we didn’t always know our No. 8 existed as a phobia. Now that we do, we’re intrigued by its multidimensionality.

Number 7

Cacophobia

Fear of ugliness 

How common is it? Our informal research suggests it’s especially isolated around bars, sororities and the state of California…

We suppose the PC alternative to “ugly” would be something like “minimally screwable.” Screw that. Nobody seems to bother with putting an attractive face on ugly, and though it ain’t pretty, ugly is everywhere. A weird enough phobia to double-bag its way to No. 7, but it’s everywhere. It’s been lucrative in cinema (Coyote Ugly) and television (Ugly Betty). It’s been the cornerstone of “yo' momma” jokes and high school cheers for decades. It’s more or less unavoidable with puberty. So while it may be a foregone conclusion of life, plastic surgeons will always be thankful for cacophobia.

Six more weird phobias...

Number 6

Linonophobia

Fear of string

How common is it? Basically non-existent -- among cats, anyway…

Really, what could string ever do to someone to elicit such fear? Rope, that we can begin to understand. Rope can be used to tie somebody up. Rope can be used for hanging. Rope can get you dirty if you’re playing tug of war or cause a superficial burn on the skin. Come to think of it, rope doesn’t make for a very good phobia either. So what’s string? That’s mini rope. That’s rope lite. That’s diet rope. That’s rope’s bitch. And for that, our No. 6 phobia has people worried? Unless they know something about string that we don’t…

Number 5

Epistemophobia

Fear of knowledge

How common is it? We’re afraid we don’t know -- or is it that we’re happy we don’t know?

People suffering from our No. 5 phobia won’t want to investigate this or any of our top phobias very much. Learning can only make things worse. For these folks, ignorance really is bliss. We’re just a little perturbed we weren’t aware of our No. 5 phobia in high school, when it could’ve come in handy as an excuse to cut class.  

Number 4

Vestiophobia

Fear of clothing

How common is it? Ever been to a European beach?

As titillating as our No. 4 phobia may sound, it’s one that doesn’t appear to single out young, athletic women. Having traveled abroad, we’re sad to report our No. 4 phobia seems more likely to afflict the dumpy, potato-shaped, middle-aged men of Europe. Unless that happens to be yourfetish, this goes down as a phobia with wasted potential.

Number 3

Arachibutyrophobia

Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth

How common is it? Are you kidding? One case is too common…

OK, shouldn’t this be one of the easiest phobias to manage, unless you’re a dog? Our No. 3 weird phobia (which, again, hasn't been officially categorized as a medical disorder) gets a high rating based on premise alone. You might as well have a phobia about traveling to Connecticut on August 28th. Unless you’re physically indisposed and being force fed, you can avoid arachibutyrophobia completely. We suggest you start by not ingesting peanut butter. And if you are being force-fed peanut butter, it’s possible you have greater immediate concerns than the cream of legume coagulating on your palate.

Number 2

Papaphobia

Fear of the Pope

How common is it? Exceptionally prevalent in Guam -- don’t ask us why…

We’ll resist taking a hackneyed potshot atSinead O’Connor and celebrate our runner-up weird phobia at face value. Come on, fear of the Pope? Why does the papal reign scare the bejesus out of people? Could it be the Popemobile? That whole Latin Mass controversy? The hat? It’s the hat, isn’t it? OK, the pistachio hat is a little off-putting, we’ll grant you that. But what would you have him wear? A derby? A beret? A ski mask? A Stetson? You know, seeing His Holiness in a 10-gallon fedora would be creepy for obvious reasons and it wouldn’t accomplish anything except mass conversion to Protestant faiths.  

Number 1

Panophobia

Fear of everything

How common is it? Tough to tell. Panophobes fear the question, fear answering the question, fear being chased by strangers for an answer -- it’s a no-win situation…

And you think you have bad days? When you have panophobia, there’s absolutely nothing you can do, by definition, that won’t make you want to perpetually fill your drawers. This would even include a fear of managing the phobia. Or the thought of the fear of managing the phobia. Or the thought of the thought of the fear of managing the phobia... and so on.

OMG

I can't post kittens again!

I would like to say that me and some of my classmates want to do a big surprise for our best friend. So, I need to "work" as a videofilmer. That's my first experience and I want to do my best. And also this is very exciting.
God, please, help me!

with love, Eugenie

Nothing

So, kittens ^з^

I continue to search for interesting things and show them to you.

Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan complained to the journalists: people confuse him with actor Morgan Freeman

You know that the mos expensiv caviar is not black caviar aneven not grey caviar (that is very expensive too). The most expensive is "Almas", beluga-albinos caviar, sometime it is exports from Iran. 100 gramm of this caviar packed in gold jar will cost the  about 2 thousands dollars. Good food, no?))

Great!!!

Lionel Messi on 7 January 2013 won the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or, again beating Cristiano Ronaldo in second place with team-mate Iniesta third. In doing this, Messi became the only player in history to win the Ballon d'Or four times. Messi described receiving the accolade as "really quite unbelievable" and "too great for words". That is very good!!!

Happy New Year & Merry Christmas
