#15. What are your plans on the summer holidays? Do you want to work during it or rest and travel? (Maria's topic)

In my opinion, the best way to relax during these hard weeks because of preparation to final exams is to tell about my summer holidays' plans. Actually, by telling about that plans I can forget about any problems for at least one minute.

First of all, I'd like to say that I began thinking about my summer holidays' pastime a long time ago. At the beginning, my plans for June were: go home after passing exams for about 3 weeks. Then, in July, I planned to return in Moscow so that to have a trip to Austin's summer school in the U.S. I had never gone abroad before. Therefore, in that time it was my daydream to visit foreign country. Moreover, it was the U.S. which I had been dreaming to visit for many years! However, because of my residence in Odintsovo, a passport which gave me opportunity to visit foreign countries, was said to registered for 4 months. That was a great pity because I gathered my documents and sent it ti the passport Office only in March that meant I would give my passport in July. It was late for me, because school would start at the beginning of July.

However, I decided to not waste my time for melancholy and began making my new summer holidays' plan. Therefore, I’d like to share it with you. 

After passing all final exams, I'm going to stay at Moscow till the beginning of July. You can ask me, "Why don't you go to home right away?". Really, I can do it. However, it is not very interesting for me because Moscow gives me great opportunities to spend my time more efficiently. At the beginning, I'm going to visit many museums there so that to know about Russian culture, literature, and history as much as I can. Moreover, during June a theater season is not closed. Therefore, I'm going to visit many fascinating performances. I'm sure that there will be much ones that are worth to watch! In addition, now I have a kind of daydream, which could be seemed very odd to you - In June, I am also going to visit libraries so that to read books that I've decided to read this summer. There are many ones, so I shouldn't waste my time. 

What about July? At the first half of July I'm going to spend my time at home for 2 weeks. I think it is enough.
In the second half of July I'm going to work as a tutor, a teacher of Economics and as an assistant of other subjects in Krasnoyarsk summer school. That's a great challenge for me because, as you possibly know, last year I worked in KSS as a tutor. However, now I have become older and have got some experience. Therefore, I feel myself empowered to get more responsibilities in KSS. I think it will be great experience not only in teaching, but also in communication with students and other teachers. 

To tell the truth, I haven't certainly decided what to do in August yet. However, I want to go abroad. I wish to relax by swimming in the Black Sea. Notwithstanding, now it is only one of my many ideas. It means that my desires can change at any moments. Nevertheless, I wish many of my plans will be accomplished.

P.S. That was a last blog post in this semester, so I'd want to wish you luck in final exams and spend your summertime as efficiently as you can. I'm sure, it will all be OK!

See you soon!
