irene_ok: reveiw

Just like every year, you don't notice how the fast the seasons change. I remember chatting with my classmate in a coffee house about the summer just before picking our new school books up. We talked about our plans for autumn, expectations and hopes and now it's the last hour of autumn and it feels like I need a little summary of what happened lately.

September passed too quickly. Strange month, actually. A month of having your mind in summertime and your body in classes. Now that I don't attend my extra-English my life got simpler and more boring. I realized that I've got too much time and too little interests. Or am I just too lazy? That sounds like a fair reason. Moreover, my darling best friend Galina has moved to Germany to study (what I'm really proud of and happy about) and I feel myself lonelier than ever before. Now all my close friends live miles away and life here in Kiev feels too monotonous and routine. I don't mean to whine, it's just about how important people are in our lives... Anyway, I had a lot of necessary things to do and a lot of useful things to learn, which I did and received a fair reward for. I had a chance to prove that all the hard work is paid-off.

October wasn't much different. I cannot even get any particular memories out of my head. Except a nice lunch with my friend, which actually seems to have been in November already. November was a bit more alive, I'd say. I changed my views and attitudes a bit, I took some new things up and got some fresh ideas.

Furthermore, just a couple of days ago people went out on the streets to protest and strike for the association of Ukraine with the EU (which I'm also for) and now things are getting more and more serious. The revolution is in the air! We have kept calm for years of governmental frivolity but now it is unbearable - people are on the streets standing for themselves, for their children, their rights, their opinions and their future! Everybody is out! I hear cars horning on the streets right now! It's already the second revolution I'm witnessing and it feels exciting.

All in all, my life this autumn feels like a lazy plane slowly rolling out of the hangar towards the runway, gradually speeding up. I'm happy about everything that's happened even though really sorry for the wasted time and my laziness.
