Dirt contest in Petrozavodsk
I have never thought before that bikes can create such breathtaking art of extremality. Or maybe I thought but I never got a chance to be convinced! Risking own life gets reward of amazed viewers. Time flies when you get absorbed to all these risky rotations and back flips and all other forms of bike art, that have their own names among amateurs and professionals.
Finally - champagne!

Open-air debates
There are so many amazing things about debates. You can talk endlessly about how public speaking skills can be effectively acquired through debates, not to mention better command of English (or any other official debate language) and analytical skills.
However, there is one undeniable advantage of debates - just hanging out around and sharing your thoughts and aspirations with other! Summer may be quite a relaxed season, not ideally suited for intellectual events but still, we managed to meet each other and have a nice open-air debate!
You will not see me on the picture - I was a debate paparazzi this time (as well as the prime minister on the motion about making internet memes cultural heritage!)

Admissions
Working in admissions campaign of my university, I sometimes feel as working in a shop. Prospective students come and ask me where to go. Having never experienced all stress of university admissions before, I have always thought that the main feeling there is anxiety. However, some sort of confusion is more frequent there. Of course, I am not critisizing anyone - I just believe that when feeling confused it is better to turn to your own intuition rather than admissions secretary`s :) In a shop one can change the wrong item, but there it may be a bit late!
