Downshifting. We studied this new word at my English classes this Saturday.
Later on Saturday evening I received the December'06 issue of Bead&Button. I can't find right words to express my astonishment when I saw 'From the Editor' column. And that article about Larry Scott in the middle of the issue, it amazed me a lot. I'm very imaginative person. I see signs everywhere, you know (%
These signs scream something like 'Don't be afraid! You can change your life! Stop killing yourself. Everything is possible.'
It's no wonder I started to think about downshifting - I've fallen into a swoon last Friday and since then I feel sick and tired. I'm going to a doctor tomorrow, 'cause I don't like the way I feel. Stress or overfatigue or whatever. The only thing I want is to lie on a bed. Today is only Tuesday, but I feel totally exhausted.
Guess what I'm going to do on my December, 4 - December, 12 annual leave? I'll spend these days working on my graduation work which must be finished by December, 13. Then I'm coming back to office work.

Well, better stop whining (%
Great. Everything will be great after a while.

I've made this piece a year ago. It is called Summer Bracelet. It was the worst summer in my life because of the endless reflection and that gnawing lonely feeling.
I'm glad it's all over now, and my autumn depression has gone as well, because of a new brilliant idea.
After graduating from Russian Academy of Economics I plan to go to British Higher School of Arts and Design. I don't want to be an economist and I'm tired of risk analysis.
Design is my real passion. I like making things, I like reading beadwork books, I like browsing designer's websites.
In January, 2007 - May, 2007 I'm taking an access course at British Higher School of Arts & Design. During that period we'll make my own portfolio under the direction of their teachers. I hope I'll pass the entrance examinations after that.
You know what? I don't want to be a passenger in my own life. It's never late to change everything. Especially when you're 22 (=
I can live again.
