Thema, having entered Sechenovka, fell into several stories at once, which barely caused the future of the glow of Russian medicine to go away prematurely. First, he found out that having an attractive appearance and an excellent school certificate is dangerous: these two facts draw in the professors' imagination a boyfriend with a nymph around his head, and try to prove that you are from birth a walking atomic bomb and a punk character.
In short, Tom, against his will, was appointed senior of the group. Beautiful eyes and a silver medal seemed to the dean quite strong arguments for this appointment. Thoma protested as he could and even compromise himself: he told how he once burned a class magazine with acid at a chemistry class. There is no effect! The Dean raised his finger and said something like this:
Do not argue, young man. I have a diamond eye, I am thirty.
Over the years, three divisions of students reviewed. If I say you are the best
The old man for this shit, so it is. Sha to! Question is closed.

and Tarantino.
He suffered because of the wonders of Russian science. In the entire civilized world it is considered normal if the universe is taught by scientists from one hundred and fifty countries: the Hindu reads a lecture about mice, the Chinese puts experiments on them, and the laboratory assistant with them is a papua. You are right, may Fred.
Because if you want to develop nanopapper technology, and in your country no professor has heard about nanopapper technology, there is one way out – to invite from abroad the chopper Englishmen, the quacking Americans and the hairy Italians, so that youth teach them. To be in

Until they are invited to Russia. But kindly exchanging students with Europeans and Americans is the first medical university of the country. One day, Thoma was summoned to the rectorate, placed in front of the clear eyes of the pro-rector and heard the following flaming speech:
“Hmm... Artyom, there’s an important thing for you. I prepared a list.

They speak very well, so without the need for English do not quack. well
Go with God. Be polite there!

Thema picked up a valuable package under the mouse and went to perform the assignment.
He thought all the way about how to start a conversation. Meeting important people is like a serious conversation with a father or a confession to a beloved girl: the main thing is to boldly say the first phrase, and then it will be easier.
However, Thomas did not feel a special burden of responsibility: his veins did not shake, and he felt as confident as Moses, carrying the tables to the people.

In the American Councils, however, confidence in him improved. The secretary, pleasant in all respects, said that Artyom would have to go to office number three and hand over the list personally to the vice president of the company, Michael R.
Thoma walked through a long corridor, feeling the curious gaze of the young people who were again on him, and timidly knocked on the door of the third office.
- Come in, come in, - jokingly proposed from inside someone's voice.
The theme entered. There was no Vice President Michael R. there. The office number three was a large room, where there were several tables with computers, but only one of them was now occupied - behind him was a guy of twenty-four, looking like a graduate student, in a characteristic relaxing posture - crossed legs he put on the table, and in his hands held a scientific journal.
Are you looking for someone? It’s lunch break, everyone is running away.
He spoke with a barely visible accent. Do you have a list of students in your hands?
Put it here and sit down. Until we talk.
Thoma sat on a chair, and then his gaze fell on a basketball poster behind the back of the guy – the center "Orlando Madgick" Dwight Howard in a jump pushed the ball into the basket. Their eyes burned:
Do you suffer from Orlando too?
I was born in Orlando! Are you really a fan? A guy together.
He dropped his legs from the table. Second year in Russia and for the first time I see a person.
We can talk about our team. Kindred Spirit, as

The conference. A real man! Congratulations to the new coach of the team.
A hurricane, not a coach. The guy agreed. Listen, you are not.
Are you in a hurry? Make tea with cake. Nancy made a great homework.
Cake with apples.

Thema sat down for the cake and so, word for word, they talked with the fun postgraduate student for forty minutes. Thome, in fact, did not want to leave - with his best friend Yarik about the NBA you will not talk, and sports bars, where basketball is watched by men with beer and stomachs, Thoma did not visit.
Conducting it, the postgraduate student looked at the list of students placed on the table by Thoma.
Are you from Seychelles?
and yes. The first honey.

We will see again.

The next day, Toma was called back to the rectorate. When he entered, he saw a white, like a canvas, pro-rector who told him three striking news: 1) of the twenty-four students on a trip to New York.
The states were approved all twenty-four; 2) Artem received by fax a personal thanks from Vice President of the American Councils, Michael R. ;
3) about Artem called from the FSB and wondered - how could a first-time student have received a personal thanks from the vice president of a large American company, if before this in Russia received such thanks only 2 people, and these people - the rector of the Moscow State University and the deputy minister of education?

What could Tom answer? Tell the pro-rector how cool Dwight Howard is doing slams for Orlando?

– Boy, I don’t know what you did there, but keep in mind.
In 1966, you would have been jailed for such connections, and in 1986, you would have been removed.
