And today, I walked around our Perm State University's Faculty of Physics again. And now, I feel a heaviness in my soul and anxiety from the mere thought that I might not be enrolled in this wonderful faculty. However, my situation is still more favorable than that of the previous speakers: the failure hasn't happened yet.
It's strange to realize that in the coming days, I will experience either great happiness or deep disappointment. A two-color spectrum. Only two options. Oh well...
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
