Good morning! The sun is shining, and it’s one of those days that just feels perfect for some fun. Unfortunately, I’m not feeling great. For breakfast, I had some tasty dumplings, and I could hear icicles crashing down outside.

The weather was bright and sunny, just right for heading to school. I had five classes today: German, where we talked about the beauty of the language; Literature, which took us on some wild adventures through stories; Maths, where my brain got a good workout; PE, where we ran around and had a blast; and Natural Science, where we explored all the cool stuff in the world.

After school, I decided to take a stroll and play in the snow. It felt great to crunch through the fresh powder! But when I got back home, I started feeling pretty lousy. I skipped lunch and crashed for a nap instead. My sleep was all over the place; my head was spinning, and I struggled to get up or focus on anything. Eventually, I dozed off again. Out of nowhere, a voice in my head woke me up, saying, "Ruslan, sit down at the desk; the class is about to start." It was so clear that I had to listen. When I looked at the clock, I was shocked to see it was already eight in the evening. Time to kick back and relax!

I watched a few funny videos on YouTube to lighten the mood before settling down with my headphones to listen to an audiobook by Turgenev called "First Love." I just wanted something simple and chill to escape into.

If you’re on the hunt for a captivating read, you absolutely have to dive into 'First Love' by Ivan Turgenev. Seriously, it’s like the ultimate tale of young love, and it’s perfect if you’re brushing up on your Russian skills!

Here’s the scoop: the story revolves around this guy, Vladimir, who’s totally head over heels for this enchanting girl, Zinaida. She’s got that irresistible charm and a sprinkle of mystery that keeps him on his toes. Set in the romantic backdrop of 19th-century Russia, Turgenev captures all those wild emotions—think excitement, jealousy, and that oh-so bittersweet sting when things don’t go as planned.

You’ll feel every heartbeat and flutter as Turgenev’s writing pulls you right into the characters’ world. It’s a beautiful reminder of how those first crushes can shape our lives in ways we don’t even realise.

Meanwhile, I was playing agar.io, but it turned out to be quite a dull match. One cell was dominating the game, using minions to thwart the smaller cells and preventing them from growing. As a result, I found myself paying more attention to the audiobook in my ears than to the lopsided battle unfolding on the screen.

After that, I read a few pages of an Italian book about the growth of churches before heading to bed.
