Nothing happened on day 12... I finally showered after 3 days haha... I borrowed the hot water from my friend Samantha, she has hot water in her dorm while we do not in our homestay... we had a wopping 4 1/2 hours of language classes again today... they are so freakin exhausting... we went to a nice restaurant near the metro and I got beef stroganoff... but other than that we just studied and went to sleep
I'm really started to get comforatable with Russian though, when we walk around, sometimes I forget we're even in Russia... the signs are so easy for me to read, and I understand almost all of them... it's not until I get around a group of Russians talking that it'll even hit me that I'm not back in the states. Classes are all going really well though, minus the crap-ton of new vocabulary words, they're almost easy...
Today we went to the Political History Museum, it was really interesting... just about the end of the monarchy (the czars), the beginning of communism, and the end of communism, stuff of that sort, so very interesting... then Austin and I went with some friends of ours from the group (Matt and Will) to a pub, it was a lot of fun, and after we drank for a little there, we went to the pizza bar near the metro. After which we returned to our homestay and I have been surfing the Russian tv channels, which not suprisingly, just like in the states, MTV does NOT play music... the one thing that I wanted to find... but I did find a channel that plays Family Guy and Futurama and stuff like that in Russian... so I'm content for the moment being haha
Now I'm off to study, and since I don't have internet near my homestay and I have to go to a MakDonalds or one of my friend's dorms... I don't get to update this as often as I'd like, but I will keep on top of it when I can!
