As 2016 is over and it's a new year, I decided to make some conclusions of the last year and just recall some wonderful memories. I am very blessed of the previous year, I'm happy to had all the opportunities in 2016. I'm pretty sure I can call that year as a year of adventures, 'cause I traveled quite a lot. I suppose I have never traveled so much as last year. And I'm very happy about that.

I can't wait for the all beautiful and wonderful moments which are going to happen this year. I'm sure, it will as marvelous as the last year. This year started really awesome for me. I'm so blessed! If you follow my IG profile, you definitely know what I'm talking about. So let's just get down to business :)

Вот и подошел к концу 2016 и начался новый год. Я решила подвести итоги прошлого года и вспомнить чудесные моменты прошлого года. Я безумно благодарна за все то, что случилось со мной в прошлом году, за все возможности, которые у меня были. Думаю, прошлый год для меня можно назвать годом путешествий - так много в одном году я еще никогда не путешествовала. Я очень рада прошлому году. 

1. Visiting Istanbul for the International Women's Day. It was a wonderful trip there. We were there for the first time and it was magical. I believe, I would like to return there (I still want to have a cup of tea at the night on the terrace of Seven Hills hotel). 
2. Going to Zakarpattia. So, as we have never been there, we decided to spend spring holidays there. We visited so many beautiful places. I couldn't believe that I was still in Ukraine while I was visiting some cities, walking across some streets. It looked like I was somewhere in Austria or Hungary. 
3. Visiting Kyiv on our way to Zakarpattia and back. And it happened that we spent Easter in Kyiv. We visited beautiful botanical gardens, Easter exhibition and fairs.
4. Okean Elzy concert. OMG! It was a wonderful night and I enjoyed it so much. And I'm pretty sure I will visit again their concerts. 
5. Assisting educational marketing program. I got so much information! There were lots of different speakers from different brends and companies and all of them were talking on different subjects, but the main theme was - marketing. That was a really engrossing event.
6. Internship in Germany. So last year I finally went on internship, it was in one of German universities. It was a wonderful experience. What's more, we visited lots of different countries and cities. That was so freaking cool.
7. Meeting with two girls from AWO (Anime-world.org, so here is a fact - earlier I watched anime a lot and sometimes I still watch it and there was one website where was an RPG. There were not too many people(some oldies and newies) firstly and we had a skype conversation, we were chatting a lot with each other. Mainly oldies took part in skyping, so it was kind of a squad of about 20 people. But then I stopped watching anime and quit, and then also the website stopped working. So last spring I was invited to the skype conversation, they decided to reunite and get back together. Not everyone was found and not everyone agreed. However it happened and we started chatting again. So, the main idea of this point - I finally had an opportunity to meet two girls, with one we met in Kyiv when I was on my way to Zakarpattia, and with another one - in Prague as she is studying not far away from the city. I want to meet more people from AWO. It's like a goal ;D
8. Summer language school in Bydgoszcz, Poland. It was also the first time I went to language school. I had zero knowledge of Polish when I went there. I learnt a lot during two weeks we were there. I met so many wonderful people, with some of them I still am in contact. We had so much fun. 
9. Exploring my country more - I had two trips to Poltava, we visited Gogolevo, Dykanka, Sorochyntsi Fair. We also visited some places not far away from my city - Petrykivka and Galushkivka. And don't forget about Kyiv and Zakarpattia. I also was in Lviv this year when I went on internship. And I also had 2 one-day trips to Zaporizhia.
10. And as I ended the last point with Zaporizhia I just need to mention some of my new friends from language school. And it's kind of like a similar goal to the goal mentioned in 6. I met with 3 girls from language school as they lived not far away from my city(even one of them lives in my city and she studies in my uni! OMG. And I only got to know that info at the end of the trip maybe it's beacause i didn't speak to her to much. So, I was really happy to meet 2 girls of 3 with whom I hang out a lot in Poland. Hope, one day I see them again:)
11. Celebrating my birthday in Cyprus! I'm so blessed for such a wonderful trip! It was amazing. We traveled around the island and even went to Israel! 
12. Meeting with our friend from Argentina (she's Ukrainian, we met her in Argentina when we were visiting our family friend. Now she lives in Canada, but she went to Ukraine for a while). 
13. My first job. Last fall I started working as English teacher for children. I was a little bit scared, but it turned out really well. I like working with them. I have just only one froup of 3 children. They're so adorable. It's a pleasure to work with them. 
14. Assisting oratory course. It was kind of challenge for me as I'm sometime too shy and it's a problem sometimes. For me it can be pretty hard to walk to somebody and start talking, and especially when I need to perform before the audience. I feel anxious. I learned a lot and I really liked that there were different tasks as homework which I needed to practice at home and sometimes on people. So, I need to overcome my anxiety. And I had an opportunity to see if I changed or not. I decided to be a host of the annual marketing conference in my uni. And I think the conference 2016 was much better than conference 2015(that year I was invited to be the host in last minutes). 
15. We won advertising contest in our Uni! Yeah! That's wonderful. There were two topics for the contest: stop sexism and gadget addiction. My 2 friends and I did 2 works for gadget addiction and it's a sursprise for us when they said that they were mistaken when they said our work won the second place, and then they said that actually we won the first place! Wow!
16. Uni group meeting. At the end of the year we met with our group from uni. My friend wanted to celebrate the middle of our whole education. And as I always say - pur group just can't meet. When we wanted to meet, there were just 5-7 people. It's kind of impossible. But my friend wanted it so so much, she encouraged us. I agreed from the beggining. So, there were just 4 people ;D Yeah. But it was a nice evening, we chatted and played playstation (one more wonderful thing that happend this year). Before that evening I hadn't played playstation for the longest time. It was so fun! And we played Mortal Kombat and I even won a few times ;D So now I want to play Mortal Kombat again and again, and I also want playstation
17. Last year I started learning new languages. Yay! So, I started learning Japanese in spring, Polish in summer and even German in winter! Can't wait to improve my skills.
