Anvar at the bus stop with his mother's bag. Eleven of us came.Our best AWP player, Anvar, received his call-up paper. He goes to the army in October. 10 days to say goodbye. We played a last friendly on dust2, he got 31 kills and cried quietly at the end. Then he ate three samsas.
His team said: his slot stays free until he returns. We made a small plate and put it on the chair: "ANVAR". Dilshat-aka said it can stay as long as it needs.
Diploma. A "bachelor of computer science", from the Talas State University. My mother cried, my father took a photo with his phone and it is only the sky. I will work in a small company in the centre, in support. 1,800 som, with training.
Madina says now we need to talk about the future. I said let me finish the season first. She laughed and hit me. Gently.
Third year at TSU. I now write some programs for the university lab and I get 300 som a month for it. First money from programming. I bought a mouse, a good one, and gave the old one to Dilshat-aka for the club.
Her name is Madina and she said yes to a tea in a real cafe. I wore a clean shirt. We did not talk about computers for 40 minutes, which is a record for me. Then she asked me to explain what a "frag" is. I explained it for 20 minutes and she said "so it's like a goal?" I said yes. Sometimes love is lying.
End of the second year at the university. I am the only person in the group who prepares for the exam in a computer club. Because of the sound of the keys, it is easier to learn "algorithms". Don't ask.
The TSU lecture building, first day, 8 a.m. Everybody pretends to know where to go.I am in the university, computer science (on a grant place! 3 months ago I was scared). First week, the lecture rooms are huge, nobody knows anything, we all sit at the back. A guy told me that CS 1.6 is "a dead game, only old men play". I told him I run a league. He asked how old the oldest player is. I said 41, a taxi driver from Temir-Kapka. He went quiet.
Done. I don't want to talk about it. We wrote for 4 hours, I think I got math right. History: sort of. English: yes.
Going to the club tonight for 3 hours. My mother said "just 3". Mothers are great.
