Ave my listeners.
This friday I had a terrible day in my life. First of all at 8-00 AM I went to Federal Building, where SSN are distributed between the individuals who wants to work in this perfect country. Though I don't have a camera due to spartans way of my life, let me explain, for those, who don't know what is SSN is. Social Security Number this is a code that is required for American or American resident who have a right for work, for a very big decision in his or her life: buying an car, house, other property, finding new job. The US is truly democratic country, and if one has no desire to have SSN it is his right not to take it. But absence of the SSN gives a person little inconveniences:
One can't buy a car.
One can't find a job, but the democracy principles are kept. Ave democracy.
To enter this building you have to be searched. And it's not true, that average American knows nothing about Ukraine. When the men in the US Marshal uniform saw my passport they asked me about the meaning of the word "tovarish". See this nation is very educated nation, Ave democrazy.
Then I went to the foreign students orientation. That is it. All over the world churka's meeting. A woman with hard russian accent played with people within the age interval from 20 to 30 in very interesting games (quizzes). Typical question. "What is I-94 form?"
Probable answers:
"1 Important US governmetn document used by immigration services"
"2 Document used by airlines to count their passengers"
"3 Useless piece of paper usually found in passport".
I can't sit there no longer than 10 minutes. The phrase: "Sorry, I have to meet with my scientific adviser. " is the magic word combination.
Then I went shopping. Average american has a car, but due to my way of life, I can't afford myself to have such a device. Then even black americans were feeling sorry for me and asked me whether I need pick up. But as it respect to a true Roman I proudly said "No, thanks" and continued my 45 minute way home.
That the life here, who earns less then $1000. But it's no time to sorry about it. I must advance forward to complete my primary objectives here.
Ave Imperator.
