I had been preparing for my graduation exam in my field of study, "translator-assistant," since my third year by participating in academic conferences and winning awards.

На четвертом курсе я уже полноценно представила свой вариант перевода стихотворения, которое было в книге "Властелин колец" Дж. Толкиена. Второе место дало мне уверенность в себе и стало причиной в моей жизни встречи с Шекспиром. И так сама история: На последнем курсе университета надо было выбрать тему для дипломной. Ну, как человек творческий, в...

Even those of us with nothing to hide typically approach a border crossing with a sense of loathing: invasive 
security measures and tedious bureaucracy rarely make for a pleasant experience.
