The art I have selected is the The Blue Mosque.        I have always been in love with architecture. Fortunately, when I was young my mom and I got to travel to Turkey. We have spent 3 days in Istanbul and it was absolutely amazing. I have countless pictures of our trip, maybe 5 of them is of my family and the rest is landscapes and architecture.       Unfortunately, we could not go inside. Our travel guide, which happened to be our friend that lives in Turkey, explained to us that The Blue Mosque is used by male population, hence no women allowed, where Hagia Sophia (literally across from each other, separated by a park and some tourist shopping stops) is for female population.

 Hi!  My name is Sofiia Kopychenko, do not try to pronounce it, you won't get it right :) but you can call me Soph. I am originally from Russia. I moved to United States almost 5 years ago, originally moved to Phoenix, AZ where I graduated from high school, and then moved to Colorado for college.  I double major in math and computer science. I want to say it is my third year but with everything that is going on I do not remember. Due to pandemic I had to move from Pueblo because I was offered better job and internship, so online classes was all I can do. This academic year has me a little down since CSU-P does not offer 400 & 500 level math classes that I need for my major and hence it is going to put me behind for graduation.  Okay, I am attaching the most recent picture of me since I just got a haircut and I love it.  I am excited to meet you!
