Genocide...

Why does genocide keeps happening? It is because there are mentally ill people that want to kill or limit rights of those who are different from them. It happened because there was nobody to stop those kind of sick people. I cannot think of something to stop it. Maybe if it did happened someone should stop the leader first, imprison him, then it will be easier to stop his followers. That's the only thing that I can think of.

Tickets

I'm very homesick now. Only in May I will be able to go home and will go. I have the last final May 9, and on May 10 I will fly, no - I hope to fly because I have no tickets yet.
I know for sure on what day I want to departure, but when to return? I want to stay at home as long as possible, but I can't. There is one problem, my mom wants that she and my sister will come here for a month (8/1-8/29). I don't want to return then, and my sister doesn't want because on 8/7 she will have anniversary with her boyfriend and she wants to celebrate it with him and not with us. I understand that, but my parents don't. I have to return to the U.S. with my mom and sister, together...
I don't know what to do. I miss my friends and family, and I know that they miss me too.

Night

Not frequently I read books with such interest as I have read this one. When I was reading I thought what will be next and continued to read. It went very easily. The most fascinating part was in the end, when everybody thought that boy's father have died but he didn't, and the last chapter where boy's father was sick and died. I never thought that the boy can be glad that his father died. Also couldn't imagine that those children weren't wondering where are their parent. It's maybe because I didn't go through what they did.

Who I am

HI! My name is Tetyana, but everybody calls me Tanya. I was born and grew up in Ukraine. I came to the U.S. in July 2006. I live with my dad. When I came here I saw a different world. I like university, but I don't like the place that I live at. However, I miss my home, family and friends.
The goal for this class is to learn English well. By reading a lot I know that I will improve my English. I'm very happy that this university offers such course. If there was no course like this I would have to study by myself, I would not like that.
