Back in Serbia, when we talk about our plans, you can often hear this saying: ‘When we are making our plans, God is laughing’. But my plans for 2019 have borne fruit, and today, I’m in Moscow. My first goal in 2020 is to survive the horrible winter that everybody scares me with. It is not that cold yet, but we’ll see what the weather will be like in the coming months.
Next year, I’ll have exams, so my plan is to pass them successfully. I also hope to study in the master’s programme of my choice. When you live in Moscow, it does not mean that people back home will forget about you. Maybe, in May, my parents will come to visit me. They are so looking forward to it! I am eager to visit various Russian cities and discover the hidden beauties of this country. Besides the plans to read more, visit a lot of museums, go to the gym and eat healthy, I would follow Einstein’s advice: ‘Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow’.

In the year 2020, I hope to finish writing my movie script. I hope to one day create this idea into a full-length movie. I believe when pursuing a goal the main thing is not to give up no matter what difficulties you are presented with. Achieving a goal can be compared to running steam locomotive, which needs fuel to reach its giveback program 2021: year-end edition destination. Like the machinists who chop wood or shovel coal to ensure the train keeps running we must also put in hard work and persevere towards the end result. We mustn’t forget that we have a destination which must be reached and a goal which must be achieved. Support is also very important and I’m glad that I have a good circle of friends at HSE to give me ideas if needed and keep me motivated to continue pursuing my goals.
HSE has a vibrant environment which inspires creativity
and networking. Among its many campuses it is possible to meet a lot of interesting people who will help me on my journey to success. In 2020 I will continue being proactive within my university and will what is school mgmp? utilize every opportunity to meet new people from an array of different backgrounds. I hope my peers and students from other faculties feel this same energy of not only socializing, but also helping and supporting one another. More importantly we must realize we are part of a great community of intellectual individuals and should find it within our strength to give back to this amazing community.
This year I had a lot of positive vibes and, of course, ao lists fantastic adventures. I started to study in another country, to learn a new language, to live in beautiful places, to meet fantastic people, to work in places which I loved. It’s time to close this 2019, a year plenty of good moments, and going for a better time for me.
My first New Year’s wish is to get my Russian Language certificate. Naturally, I want to complete successfully the Preparatory Year. It’s not a simple task; I should work hard every lesson and improve myself. It’s really a great challenge for me. Related with my first wish, I really hope to be accepted to the master’s programme, which I’ll choose very soon. It’s a life decision, for sure, but… the sky’s the limit.
Finally, my third wish is to travel across Russia. It’s a fantastic place, with an awesome culture and interesting history.
