FISHING

The biggest perch of the day.
At the reading week a friend of mine took me to the fishing. It was unbeliveble fishing. The name of the lake I dont remember, it is located in one more hour after the McGreager Lake. We'd got there at 8 am and started to unload a truck: ice shack, fishing roads, heater, buckets, etc. Amazing that at the first two minutes, while I was hook a maggot, he cought 5 perches in a row! One right after another.
This Big one (very good size for perch) bit a minow at my second fishing road, out side of an ice shack. I clipped a bell to the second road, and when the bell rang I did not hear it, Jay said that my bell is ringing, I was having a sandwich that time. It was no place around to put it. I lefth it in my mouth and than unzipped the ice shack, I was in rush, I threw my first fishing road in my friend Jay an jumped out of ice shack. Probably it would fun to wach me that time. Right after I jumped out, I slipped and slided down to the second fishing road. I was no time to get up of the ice so I pulled this fish while I was lying down on the ice. I almost lost this fish, by the time I got him my friend call me and said that my road has bitting, and his road too, I threw away the fish and ran back, still with a sandwich in my mouth. It was fun after everything became normal, then I took all this pictures.
The ice shack is big enough for two people and it is very warm whem a heater running inside.
It still the same fish in my hands, you can see a minow's tale that commin off the perche's mouth. Minow it is a baby fish.
We got about 180-170 perches that day but kept only 30 of them, as it permited. All the rules about fishing are posting in a fishing guide and for each lake or river they are different. There is my leg on the picture above, it might show you how the perches are big. It was not a secret spot but very close to it. My of my friends who like fishing asked me where is that place and how to get there. So if I would not tell them it could be my secret spot. Perch is very delishes, I've never seen it in the store. We been there untill 5 p.m. Then ve got to a Traves Reservoir. My friend is a fishing guide, he knows all the lakes in alberta and near by, so he picked a spot on the lake to try our luck. He said that it will be fun, the first of us who cath a fish will be happy. After one hour of sitting there I got a bite....
It was a white fish! It was good size. I put my hand right next to it to make this picture. The fishing was so fun, I had a good time.

EASY EXAMS!

The last week we had a mid term exams. This situation remind me about exams that I had in Russia. Every exam in my group is historical. The Russian examination system is different from Canadian: in Russia students at first have to do two asigments and 1-3 questions, then an interview with an instructor. The last my exam in Russia was been for 8 hours.
Now, the stories of my group in Russian university. During the exam of phisics - termodynamics, one guy did not answered his papere test and the proff said him to get out. But that guy started to cry and asked for another one. Everybody were shocked, especialy the proff. That cruing guy, after that our group sentensed him to be a girl for the rest of his studies, he cried for 40 minutes, then the proff gave him another one. Right after that the another guy whose nickname is the Deer (because of his intelegence) walked to the proff's desk. He gave him a clean papers with the test and asked him: "Give me a C, please!" Every body started to laugh, the proff said that he never seen anything like that during his 20 years pracrice. The proff said: "Why I should give you a C for nothing." The Deer said if he won't give him a C he will go to the army. Everyone laughed. Finely the proff said to him that he will give him a C for 2 reasons: first he was only the one for 20 years, and second he should not see that guy for the rest of his life. The Deer got a C and still hiding in the holeways. Another story about afriend of mine. We had an line algebra exam, and my friend asked me for answers, the girl in front of me had the same test like he had. I took me 15 minutes to sent her a notice, after a while she gave me a pice of paper with the answers, my friend was right behind me. But the proff wached for that girl and wanted to catch us. I had to do only the small thing pass the answers to my friend, suddenly I saw that the proff is walking towards me. I did not know what to do: to said that the answer not for me but for me and set up my friend or hit my friend that he made me do that, in the both scenarios I would be kicked out from the exam. Then I ate this paper, the proff did not find anything, my class mates who have seen it were dying because of laughing, I passed the exam, but my friend did not. There are a lot of fun stories about me and classmates on the exams, but it could take alot of time to write everthing. However, some proffs said that the our group is outstanding, some others mean proffs said the we shoul not studie at university at all, but live in the zoo in the cages insted of monkeys. I realy miss my classmetes, we had a lot of fun tougether.
