Hey friends!! So sorry it’s been so long since I last gave you an update! Life’s been pretty busy, and also, I must admit… a friend of mine recently introduced me to Alias for the first time ever, and I’ve been tied to it like an addict. It might be my new favorite show. So,… Read More I’m sorry it’s been so long!!!
So, currently I am at the Finland airport! Beautiful that I finally made it here! I was beginning to think I never would… so here’s the story…. As i think i said before, as of Wednesday i still didnt have my multiple entry visa, aka i cant leave russia without it… everyone else got theres… Read More oh Russia, what can i even say?
Hello friends! So, last Sunday was Woman’s Day – a very important holiday here. The men shower the women with flowers and little gifts – which is always a good thing. Now, I’m not much for cheesy lovey holidays (which, side note, the level of PDA in the metro is ridiculous some days including Sunday),… Read More again, i hate titles… we’ll call this… another long post
Well, Sunday was the end of Maslenitsa, the Russian holiday that lasts a week before Post or Lent. I don’t completely understand all of it, but you celebrate with friends, eat a lot of Russian foods (blini specifically) and you’re saying goodbye to the winter and welcoming in the spring. Anyway, our Russian friend Natasha… Read More Масленица (Maslenitsa)

Well, it’s true… I love Russia. Everyday a little bit more I think. But to be honest, I think I could live almost anywhere outside the U.S. and feel the same way. Today, my Russian art class was held at the Russian Museum! It’s a crazy huge place. But, I’m not gonna lie, it was… Read More i love Russia! (how many of my posts can i name that?)
the sunset one night here! Hey friends… well, heres an update. The bad news first – I’ve been a little sick this past weekend. I slept pretty much all day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday and made it through all 3 Lord of the Rings movies – a guy down the hall brought them here. Just… Read More ?
I love Russia! I really do love it here… of course there’s a lot of things that are different, some good, some bad, some just different. Some things take time getting used to and some are sort of inconvenient especially coming from a country where we have pretty much everything at our fingertips almost the… Read More I love it here!
So, as it says in the title, I absolutely LOVE the city of Pskov! I got to travel there this past weekend with 3 friends. I’ll tell you about it, probably with more detail than you want, but that’s ok because this is pretty much my only communication to the outside world for now. P.S.… Read More I LOVE Pskov!
Don’t have long, so I’ll make another post later, but for now… A. I LOVE the city of Pskov! (more on this later) B. It IS acceptable and normalish for dogs to get on buses and cats to hang out in grocery stores. C. I love to learn, but I think it’s time to graduate.… Read More Thoughts of the Day…
