Today, we started our first week of classes. Russian language and statistics. Our Russian language teacher, Vera, is a kick. She's an older little Russian lady who is very nice and works at a good pace. Statistics is nothing fun to speak of but it was a good chance to meet the Russian girls, who are also very friendly.
I've been feeling under the weather since Saturday. I don't know if it's just a cold or what but it's been slowing me down and I don't like it. Yesterday, Maksim and Lilia took us to this mega mall in downtown Moscow for the day. We rode the metro-I felt like such a city slicker! It was an odd blend of Western/American and Russian. But as the evening drew on, I was getting really tired and felt like I was dragging everyone down.
Today, I woke up feeling pretty bad, too (I'm pretty sure I might have dozed off in statistics). I was very tired and a little woozy, hopefully just a symptom of lack of sleep-although I got almost a full night's sleep last night. Right now I feel better (yay meds) but I hope this bug goes away-I don't want to miss any of the Russian experience!
Katie, our final fellow American student, arrived today so it looks like this evening we will be taking her around Moscow. And by "around Moscow" I mean we will take her to the grocery store right across the street and maybe the street shops just down the street-because those are the only places we know how to get to by ourselves...
пoка!
