Challenges

Challenges, challenges, challenges.
This word like warning has been blinking ahead of me for about last 3 month. I'm a student again, I'm absolutely dependable again and there is no clearness about the future.
I need a job, my favourite job. But dreams about being an engineer instead of a waiter breaks with every application that was sent and responded that "application has not been successful on this occasion". No one needs a part-time engineer here. But why? No answer.
Today I went to campus in order to enroll at course. So did Yana. Afterwards it was funny to compare the artefacts of our tours. As the matter of fact, the information pack for Bachelor of Arts looks like this:
Whereas the pack for Master of Mechanical Engineer looks quite poor:
I suppose it was done for making that "CHALLENGES" (that ahead of me) even bigger and more significant.
On that pessimistic note I should stop sobbing and to dig in 400 pages of articles back. 8 fancy equations is waiting for me and they desire that I found them.

Advanced is finished

Today is the final day of study on E6 (Advanced) level. 10 weeks of study are behind. I'm happy with my result (89/100), considering that I jumped over E5 and began on E6. Speaking is still my weakest skill, but I guess it's getting better. On Wednesday I took some photos of classmates. Here are the best of them. 
Tao, Thailand
Esmy, China
Leo, China
Yukie, Japan
Kaito, Japan

English course at RMIT

Since 2nd of July I do English course at RMIT. There are two types of English courses at RMIT uni which are regulated by REW (RMIT English Worldwide) department. The first one it's REW main course which has the different levels that connect to IELTS-result. All this are described on this diagram. The second course is preparing for IELTS. I'm studying at the main course. At first I was directed on E5-level which conforms to Upper-Intermediate. But studying there for a week I thought that this level is too easy for me and asked to move up into level E6 (Advanced). The officer from student services decided (considering my good essay which everyone should write in the beginning of the course) that I can go to the higher level. There are some disadvantages of my moving up. Every level has 2 lessons everyday (2 hours each) with lunch break (2 hours as well). E6 has different from E5 timetable. At E5 lessons begin at 8.15AM which was better for me because I'm an early bird. In addition, with this timetable I was free at 2.25AM. Whereas on E6 level my lessons begin at 10.15AM and end at 4.35PM which is very inconvenient.
At REW-corses I found a lot of new friends from all over the world. It's really amazing because in Ukraine or in Russia where I used to live there are not so many internationals contacts. For instance, I never speak to Asian people before. Actually now I regret about it because they all kind and friendly people. I become more open-minded so to say. Also. besides Asian mates (from Thailand, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan) I found acquaintances from Venezuela, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Turkey, Indonesia, Columbia.
