OH MY GOD. It has been so long since I've posted, but I've been so busy! I have no idea how people write on thier blogs every day.
My feelings about being here have not changed much, which is good. I absolutely love Moscow and living in a city. I have exactly three months left today, and I finally feel like I am starting to get the hang of things. The Metro, my classes, and my sense of where things are have improved so much since the first couple of weeks I was here (Thank god, I would have died otherwise.)
In the past couple of weeks I have....
1. Gone to a German ballet called "Giselle," which was okay, but the second Act was so amazing. All of the ballerinas were dressed like ghosts in dim lighting and the set was beautiful. I, of course, had/have no idea what was going on, but it was sick and I'm really happy I went.
2. Finally gotten used to Russian food. I eat potatoes and bread to the degree that would make Atkins actually stab himself in the face... AND I LOVE IT.
3. Gone to a few VERY fun clubs. Last Saturday, we went to this club Propaganda with two of our new (very cool) British friends and we all had a blast. I might or might not have gotten back at 7AM....
4. Gone to Katherine the Great's summer house which was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful. She had a pretty much full house sized building just to watch fireworks from. Not a big deal.
5. Gotten a gym membership and went to the gym for the first time today. I could write essays about how funny the experience was. I also felt really cool because the treadmills measure the distance in Kilometers and I felt like I was going soo fast.
6. Met a lot of new people!!
Anyway, I am going to try and start posting more because I know everything is more fun/entertaning to read about with more detail. The weekend should bring great fun and I will post as soon as I can!!
