gRRRRRRrrr
theres always something that will ruin a good day!
oh well its a hairflip- i dont even wanna talk about it
so i went to the ballet on ice with kiwi on saturday and it was so nice! they had ice on the stage it didnt look big but it had alot of room.. very nice im glad i went.
sunday i woke up, forced myself to do jillian because of the crap i've been eating.. then i did an hour and 10 mins worth of laundry.. cant wait for a washer and dryer! i can totally understand the person who invented those things! then i met up with alex we went to lenta and got stuff to make smores cause he's never tried them.. so we went back to his apartment and made them and watched eurotrip it was pretty funny. i think his roommate really enjoyed the smores too..after that i went to the internet cafe to do my homework and then took a trip to nevsky prospect and walked around for a little while..
now monday is almost over .. recap of my day : well i had class til 3, came home, ran for 45 mins (such a great run today), made dinner (chicken with hummus on top, broccoli, and carrots) and now im here writing some emails and this thing
overall it was a fine day. tomorrow should be pretty busy so i probably wont post..
peace out.

choot - choot kanyeshnah (a little bit, of course)
we played a game in class on thursday and this crazy finnsih guy in our class picked choot choot kanyeshnah as the team name haha which it doesnt even really make sense
well this is my first post since wednesday so lets see..
thursday i had school until 3 and then i rushed home, did jillian, got a shower, and went to the opera.. the opera was pretty cool i guess.. it was a little long- we were there from 7-10:30 which i dont know what an opera in the US is like so i dont really have anything to compare it too.. I'd like to see what one is like i know that Tomasello's has them but actually i liked the ballets alot better than the opera.. i just didnt feel as connected with the opera but the language barrier and not knowing the story may have had something to do with it..
friday me and maria went to a cafe to get apricot pirogy (pie) but they didnt have any sweet ones sadly :( so i got a meat one with a cappachino yummm! then i went to this market behind a church on nevsky prospect and worked my bargaining skills.. cant let these vendors take advantage of little miss america :)
then friday night we went to a georgian rest. and it was delicious! we had something called hotchaporie (totally spelled wrong, even google couldnt find it)but it was almost like a quesadilla - bread with cheese inside.. and drumbroll- i TRIED LAMB! aren't you so proud of me for trying it? lol it was very good though...
after that we wanted ice cream but it was after 11 so alot of places were closed so we went to mcdonalds to get mcflurries and they have diff. flavors here.. i got chocolate and strawberry w. vanilla ice cream it was soo good! jess you prob. would love their flavors!
we got back on the metro and got off a stop early so we could walk (half way across the island) but we were bored and didnt feel like going back yet and i love walking so i dont care.. then i went home and went to sleep!
i got up this morning and i did jillian and got a shower. emily and i went to this place called cafe zoom for lunch and i got a chef's salad and the dressing was like a creamy french garlicy flavor it was so good.. and i got a non-alcoholic mohito and pina collata they were both so good!! and the prices there were pretty reasonable too
now im just killing some time before i leave for the ballet on ice.. so glad i have something to do tonight - i hate weekends here they drag! too much free time is dangerous
anyway its a beautiful day here i might just sit outside and tan in the meantime
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIANNA LOVE YOUUUU <3333

hey everyone
sorry no post the past few days- i've been having a hell of a time..
i dont know why i just get random depressed moments here but they pass i guess.
sunday i worked out and then just decided to ride the metro until i found something to do.. i went to cennaya ploshat they have like a mall there and then i just decided ill buy a ticket to see ice age 3 (in russian) i was by myself- you should have seen me trying to buy my ticket haha i think its strange here that they give you assigned seats and you pay according to where you sit.. just an interesting fact..
monday i just had classes worked out came to the internet cafe and didnt do anything special..
today was crazy tuesday.. we have 3 hard classes with Anna 3 (our hard teacher) and then our lit. class oy! then rachel and i did JILLIAN!! thats a tough one it makes me sweat puddles!!
now im just waiting to make dinner we only have 1 pot to cook with now :(
