Mariya_B_Living+together

= Someone I used to live with =

=== When I finished school I went to try to enter one of Moscow's universities. And I lived in the dormetry of this university.It goes without saying that with me there lived 3 girls more. I'd say that relations with 2 of them suited me. But the third girl.......!!!! She was awfull!! First of all she was an absolutely negative person. She was always moaning, her life, her boyfriend, her exams everything made her irritable. She also tended to leave her stuff everywhere and not to listen our points of view. When we were trying to say it to her, to explane that she behaved wrong, she used to sulk and not talking to us at all! Very difficult person! It was hard to live together with her for each of us! ===

= Maddening behaviour =

=== I can't stand people who sulk instead of saying something straightly. I really hate it because you don't know what to think! Also I hate seeing a mum shouting at her child in the street or anywhere else. It makes me sad immediately! Because I love children very much! I hate hearing people discussing other people's income because nobody can judge the other person. Everyone lives according to their possibilities! I can't stand beeing critisized by my friends but not by mum or my university professors! And of course I do my best not to say bad things about people behind their backs and I think everyone should try not to do this ! ===

= BEING AWAY FROM HOME =

Frankly speaking, I was away from home many times.But no longer than for a month.
=== Once I was in the international camp "Artek". It was quite shock for us when we saw that everybody should wear some stupid uniform. Blue skirts and white blouses. Another thing that worried me was that local children, ukranians, called us chinese. They didnt have any idea where Kalmykia was situated. It was embarassing to explane them things about our republic. They couldn't believe that it was somewhere in Russia. === === I got on very well with 4 girls. We became close friends during the time of being there. And we still communicate. One of them sulked always but it was ok because she missed home much. And we tried to make her feel not so alone. === === But I liked the trip very much and even didn't want to leave. Because in spite of all the problems we had the atmosphere was so friendly that it was really difficult to say goodbye! And besides it made me more independent. ===

= CHANGING GENDER ROLES. =

=== Nowadays I can say that women play important role in the world in comparison with what was centures ago. They work like horses, run big componies, drive cars, work in police, do any men's job and even rule countries. Yes, they still cook, give birth to children, clean houses, but they are universal now. === === For example I know a family, they are very close friends of our family, where the wife is a breadwinner. She works, earn money and everything. As their child is small and doesn't go to a kindergrden, the husband takes care of him and sits at home while his wife is at work. Personally I don't understand such relations.This shouldn't be! That is not normal! But nevertheless in our today world we have nothing to do but accept this changing gender roles. ===
