The marshrutka to TSU

My road to the university is two marshrutkas and one walk. The first one I take at the corner (number 14, very old Russian minibus, the door is tied with a belt). One ride is 1 som, and the driver counts coins with his eyes closed.

the 14 at 7:40 in the morning. Yes, it is full. Yes, I am standing on one leg.

The best thing is the radio in the marshrutka: it only has two stations and the driver changes them at every red light. The worst is exam week, when 30 students are in a bus for 18.

First week at TSU

So the first week at the university is over. The main building is very big, I got lost twice. Our group is 24 people, 6 girls.

The computer lab has 15 computers, Pentium II, and two of them don't turn on. We will learn Pascal first, then C. The teacher says "in my time we wrote programs on punched cards and you complain". OK, teacher.

Best thing: the library has internet! But there is a queue and you can only stay 30 minutes.
