I like Russian cuisine, especially porridge

I am a first year student of School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science with a major in "Software Engineering." The most interesting disciplines for me in this semester were mathematical analysis and software engineering. But in the previous semester it was history. I had to learn a lot of definitions, dates, memorize historical periods. It is challenging. Applied subjects are more interesting.

I plan on becoming a software engineer, that's the profession of the future. I also plan on entering master programme at SUSU School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. During free time me other foreign students play guitar and national instruments. The band doesn't have a name, it's just a collaboration of musically talented guys. We also organize broadcastings, make videos and on-line performances in the instagram. I have lots of friends at SUSU both Russian and foreign. Mainly i meet new people at the events, organized by the Association of International Students and Center for Sociocultural Adaptation. I think, I already have at least one friend in each department.

I really like Russian cuisine, especially porridge. We cook buckwheat with mushrooms and meat. It is somewhat similar to our national cuisine. Chelyabinsk is a positive city. People here are active and caring. A lot of different interesting events take place there. And of course, nature! It is magnificent both winter and summer.
