Could have, should have, would have done

Practically our life consists of things that we have done, but theoretically it is consist of things that we could have, should have, would have done or haven’t done.

In the last year I have used every minute of my time. But when I was young I spent a lot of time doing nothing. I could have used to study more, increase my English skills, and take additional classes. I would have organized my time and would have made my schedule more efficient. I shouldn’t have slept so much; I should have used that time to identify my future goals.

History doesn't let us commit the same mistake twice. So let use our time properly and never say that we should have done something in the past.

Guess who am I talking about?

He/she had graduated by 2018 with Bachelor degree in nurturing. No sooner had he/she graduated the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, than he/she found a work. This year, 2019, he/she has worked at the obstetric unit in Eau Claire hospital on Barstow Street, Wisconsin. I have herd from her/him recently that he/she want to apply for another job. He/she will have worked at the hospital by the end of the year. Also he/she has been a member of a Jogging & Biking society for eight years. Can you guess who is he/she?

The First Week Expectation


My expectation for the first week of school was completely different that I’ve experienced. I have read a lot about the U.S. system of higher education and I was prepared to meet a lot of differences.

I didn’t expect to have opportunity to choose classes and to compose my own class schedule. I expect to have classroom learning environment more similar with Russian – teacher-centered classroom culture. It means that in my country often instructors (teachers, professors) evaluate students, but here (in the U.S.) students evaluate instructors, instructors evaluate students, classmates reckon up each other. For example I remember the first class when students have to tell about teacher's and student's duties. Obviously it can’t happened in Russia and it surprised me very much.

Because I studied in the different classroom culture for a long time, here I felt that I don’t study and each class seems to me like a funny game for one or two ours. I expected to memorize a lot of materials. Obviously the first week was really unforgettable to me and I am always open for new impressions.
