The Knowledge Day

Posted September 1st, 2006 in Education by Olexandr Melnyk

Today we had the Knowledge Day celebrations at the university. Actually, it was much like the ones at school, the main difference being the count of officials present there. The solemn part took around 2-3 hours, after what we went to our cathedra, where we’ve listened to some information regarding the educational process.

The lessons will start on Monday, and the first lesson I will attend at the university will be physics. The other subjects I will study during the first semester are: linear algebra and applied geometry, mathematical analysis, programming basics, informational technologies basics, Ukrainian, English, history of Ukraine and physical culture. Probably I’ve missed something, as I don’t have the classes schedule near me.

Talking of my group, I am aquainted only to several people from it, one of them being my former classmate and a good friend.

Joined the university

Posted July 24th, 2006 in Education, Life by Olexandr Melnyk

Although it is over two weeks since the event, I decided to post about it on this weblog. The uni I’ve joined is National University “Lviv Polytechnic”, a short Wikipedia article about it is located here. My major for the years of studying there will be computer science. Several of my friends and people I’m aquainted with are already studying in the computer science institute (the word “institute” in this case stands for the same thing, as “faculty” in some other unis) and saying good words about it. I hope it will be a pleasant experience for me, as it is for my friends.

Also, I’ve already finished the practice, which most of other people joining the uni have to undergo, as well. Along with several other guys, I was prepairing the cabinet walls for the network cables. Besides that we’ve also had to make a bit smaller deepenings for the electrical cables in the corridor, and accidentally cut off the signalisation and phone cables… The cathedra (the one I’ve choosed my specialisation from) director was little angry on us for this, but talked about this with humor.

The Leaver’s Day

Posted July 8th, 2006 in Education, Life by Olexandr Melnyk

The school is over. It was a place where I’ve met the most of my friends, spent around six hours each day and argued with the teachers. What I feel is partially grief, but also partially happiness.

The last official day at school was the 21st of June, which was the last exam day and The Leaver’s day at once. The party was held at the culinary specialised school. As usually, it started with the ceremony of harding over the certificates of high school education (I will try to find an opportunity to scan it and put online); then we we went to the dining room, after what the party itself started. Most of my former classmates were present there with some of their parents, or both of them. I was there with my mother. The party lasted till around 5 o’clock, when we went to meet the sunrise, which was a really great experience of sightseeing. Despite the music played there was mostly of pop style, most of which I don’t like, I liked the party and it will be a good memory of my class for me.

I hope, that all of my, now former, classmates will spend their future with love in their hearts, find a job that will give them a pleasure and having a good health. Good luck for all of them!
