Wow… so I have somehow managed to go a month without updating again. I really want to write a post talking about this month, for it really was interesting and worth talking about, but I have the feeling that writing such an entry would take another month and would be too long to wade through… Anyway, so I began an entry about Sochi and I’ll leave ( Read more... )

Happy Passover, everyone! I need to squeeze in this update before we go to Sochi but I have very little time now. I need to finish the paper I’m to present at Nick’s conference on Thursday - it’s now Monday afternoon - and I need to write a short paper for history. I’m trying to get the paper done for Nick by tonight then do history tomorrow. I’m ( Read more... )

I had a very nice weekend and I am feeling better. I didn’t actually do all that much - for most of the time I was at home, but perhaps I needed to relax there. As a result, I am now feeling much better. J

On Friday night I went to synagogue, which was okay, better than the last time. Sasha was there, the one at whose house we have English ( Read more... )

Everything is just a little out of sorts. Some of our teachers are still sick and others have gotten sick, so we never know what to expect when we go to class. Our geography teacher is ill and Galina Mikhailovna is still too ill to teach us phonetics - although she can teach the other class, because apparently they need it. All in all, though, it ( Read more... )

Yeah, so apparently my newfound good mood couldn’t last much more than a week. Fortunately I am feeling better now, but I’m a bit sick of myself and my inability to hold it together for any reasonable period of time. Right now I am feeling okay and hopefully that will last for a little while. Who knows about that, though? I keep returning to that ( Read more... )

I can’t believe it is already April. Was April 2007 really a whole year ago? Time passes so quickly these days!

So, I didn’t write yesterday because I was really tired once I’d finished with my homework, but both days were fine. Yesterday I had history class (we talked about the end of WWII) then grammar, where we had a pop quiz which was randomly ( Read more... )

I am still in quite a good mood. Maybe this week is going to be my week? I can only hope so. In any event, I had a nice day today. We changed to daylights’ savings’ time yesterday, so when I woke up it wasn’t exactly light, but it got light soon enough - while I was in the shower. It was warm today, too - up to about 10°C or about 50°F. I wore my ( Read more... )

 
All right, so about this blog - I haven’t updated in about a month and there is so much to say I couldn’t possibly say it all. I keep putting off updating this blog and it’s gotten to the point that I really don’t want to update it because I know that I’ll never finish my update. So, starting now, I am going to try making shorter updates every day ( Read more... )

Here I thought that I’d be able to write more frequently in this blog in Russia, but as it turns out this is my first entry since arriving in Moscow. I didn’t quite realize how fatigued I’d be just by being here, going about daily life. But I think that overall it’s good that I’m too busy to update. It means I’m doing things, going out and living, ( Read more... )

Yeah, so. I planned to write an entry in the first couple of days of January to write some kind of summary of the past year, but that didn’t happen. I don’t really have time to recap everything I’ve been doing lately, either. A lot of it isn’t really that much worth talking about, and some of it I’ve already put in my French blog. I will, though, ( Read more... )
