Emre: How’s it going? What did you do today? Or do you have a plan?
Me: Haha. I’m relaxing now. Today, we have Christmas in Russia.
Emre: And what are you doing now?
Me: Eating. Haha.
Emre: Well, as for me, I must study, but I don’t want to. I’ve got 2 exams day after day, without any break.
Me: Oh, really? Is there much to learn?
Emre: I attended the classes, so I know the material. But I need to revise it anyway.
Me: That’s right!
Emre: When will you keep your promise, by the way? You said, «I’ll take a photo!» And still, you haven’t!
Me: Haha. I actually can take a selfie now.
Emre: So, Aziza…
Me: Yes?
Emre: Could you take a selfie now, please? If you don’t mind…
To take a selfie or not to take a selfie? In fact, I don’t do it just for everyone. I don’t know why, but Emre seemed quite decent to me. So, I did.
Me: Here it is!
Emre: Wow! You’re beautiful! Why haven’t you sent it before?
Me: Because I’m shy. That’s it.
Emre: So am I. I’m shy too.
Me: Wow! We’re in the same boat!
Emre: Or in the same sketch.
Me: Yup. Or a chart. Haha.
Emre: Anyway, what’s the meaning of your life? You study, for example. But for what?
Me: For languages.
Emre: And? What’ll you do with them?
Me: I’ll become a translator. Or an interpreter.
Emre: And?
Me: That’s it.
Emre: And? Come on! You’re too young! And you just wanna be an interpreter! Omg. You’re amazing!
Me: And I want to find a good husband. Not an idiot, but a Normal, Good one.
Emre: I want to found a good company. Do you wanna be my partner? I’m thinking about setting up an international company.
Me: Why not? Maybe.
Emre: But I’m talking about 5 or 6 years later. Perhaps, 7.
Me: Oke. What’s the point of hurrying up?
Emre: We should talk about money. Anyway I’m talking a lot. Haha.
Me: Lol. The only thing I don’t know is that I don’t know everything.
Emre: What’s this?
Me: Just a poem.
Emre: I know this poem. I wonder why you used it.
Me: I like referring to poems and all that jazz. Because it makes our conversation more interesting.
Emre: Okay. I have an exam tomorrow. Slatkikh snov!
Me: Good night!
Emre: Can you teach me some basic Russian?
Me: Sure!
8 January 2018
Emre: First good morning message.
Me: Oh, hi! How was your exam?
Emre: It was good.
Me: Wow! That’s great! And what’re you doing after a hard, difficult exam?
Emre: Getting ready for another one! I’ve got two exams tomorrow.
Me: Omg! What exams?
Emre: Hmm… One of them is about the engine, and the other one is about thermodynamics.
Me: Maxwell? Something like this?
Emre: The engine one’s about the engine – for example, differential, flywheel, and so on.
Me: I see. Complicated.
Emre: Lol. It’s not that complicated, I’m just too lazy to study!
Me: I remember something from high school.
Emre: I see. As for me, it’s for entire life that I’ve been studying it! By the way, do you know any traditional story?
Me: About what?
Emre: About love, perhaps. Haha.
Me: Any traditional story?
Emre: Or something supernatural.
Me: Oke, any story. There’s a rhyme:
There was little girl,
And she had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was cute.
But when she was bad,
She was horrid.
It’s an old English rhyme.
Emre: Hmmm… I didn’t expect it.
Me: I like this rhyme. So, what about you? Do you like the rhyme?
Emre: Just a few. But I don’t have enough information about them.
Me: Old English rhymes were traditionally born in the old 14
century. So, it’s a tradition to sing them on holidays. Like Soul Cakes Day, All Saints’ Day. Or Guy Fawkes Day.
Emre: But those aren’t your culture’s. Right?
Me: Right. I also know many Russian rhymes.
Emre: Haha. Well…
Me: Oh, maybe, tongue-twisters. Haha.
Emre: What’s the meaning of these days? Why do you like them?
Me: They commemorate the dead. I just like them. Because the people chant such amazing rhymes and songs!
Emre: Wow! Do you wanna marry a foreigner?
I wonder how he guessed it…
Me: Yes, and a lot!
Emre: Why do you want it? Tbh, I also want to marry a foreigner!
Me: Because I need some change in my life. That’s it.
Emre: But I have a specific choice. So, when will you marry?
Me: When God gives me such a chance.
I’m not a Muslim, although I’ve got a name close to the religion. My mum’s an Orthodox, so am I.
Emre: This is a good answer. First of all, you must love someone. Right. But, as I told you before, I don’t think I’ll be able to love again.
