this is how i am spending my last days in tashkent…

tog’lik kiyov size of everything!

It was a great pleasure to meet Alisher Sadullaev along with other brilliant minds from extremely selective universities worldwide, including Harvard, Cornell, MIT, UPenn, Columbia, and others.

I met Azizbek (Harvard '29), Bobirjon (Johns Hopkins '26), and Sherbek (Colby '28) an hour before the event, where we discussed college life at Johns Hopkins and Colby. Bobirjon shared practical tips on navigating academic and social challenges in college. Though it was only my third time meeting Azizbek in person, it felt like we had been friends for years. Together, we discussed the next steps in the enrollment process.

As other guests arrived, we entered the conference room for over an hour of networking. I was meeting half of these accomplished individuals for the first time. Timur (Cornell '29) shared his experience studying at UWC East Africa, while Guzalkhon (Harvard '27) invited us to next year's Harvard vs. Yale gathering of the Uzbek community. Abdullox (MIT '29 — yes, MIT!) spoke about his journey preparing for olympiads (IChO - Gold), while Diyorbek (UToronto '28) shared the challenges he faced in Canada before founding an Uzbek society there. Firdavs (Cornell '27) offered me valuable suggestions about managing college financial aid packages, and I also received tips on obtaining a US visa from others in the room.

After Alisher Sadullaev entered the room, we were invited to join a major project. His subsequent speech left me stunned by his eloquence and intellect. The remaining three hours were dedicated to sharing our backgrounds, projects, and problems we aim to address, while Alisher Sadullaev offered insightful anecdotes to illustrate his points and answer our questions. I had the opportunity to discuss my interest in neuroscience and my current projects, receiving his approval and an offer of further support.

The event concluded with group photos and videos. This 3-4 hour meeting was so dense that I cannot detail everything discussed.

these cheap headsets made me buy internet on board

Levsha, I just flew through War zone!

Let you know how flight went after touch down.

I fucking made it.

In the biggest airport of the world, with 3 kilograms of overweighted baggage, I begged to over 400 people in order to not the miss the flight. passportga qarab turib iplosla ishlariyam yordam bermadi aeraportni… but fuck it.

It was crazy. the lady on check-in desk told me my gate is going to close 40 minutes before the flight which is very illogical, but damn her. I made it. saved 400 bucks.

Imagine not getting in to the easiest writing course at university…
