Yesterday I'd finally got rid of my yearly project. Got an excellent mark - not much of a reward for numerous restless nights, but still a bit satisfying. The subject of the project was "culture-specific vocabulary and its translation".
During my research I ran across a quote by Terry Pratchett that made me giggle.
"Mind you, the Elizabethans had so many words for the female genitals that it is quite hard to speak a sentence of modern English without inadvertently mentioning at least three of them." (c)Pratchett.
I love linguistics. But oh, I feel like I know so little about it. =/ The more I learn the less I feel I know, you see...

BTW, for the first time in my life visited the State Duma. My boss hosted debates on the tax system. And I helped him to organize it all. I was nervous and edgy as hell, because it was all too much for me, too serious, I've never been much into politics, for god's sake, and was all like "hey, what's going on?". And of course I was feeling like a blasted zombie because I was writing the blasted project at nights. And I nearly fucked everything up, but thanks to all known gods it was settled somehow and went not very bad, after all.



I'm sorry I haven't been writing for so long, really-really, but you see, I had no time. How are you, people? Is everything okay? =)

P.S. Ah, and I got bangs. =) Very brave of me indeed.
