In Russia for 3 weeks now!

..and this is the first chance I've really had to post here. If you've been checking this and come up empty- sorry!

Last week I switched to an easier class, went to an opera (followed by a bar), the Russian Museum, a pro soccer ("football") game, and went to the Hermitage yesterday.

Today I did laundry. And went shopping. I bought a hammer and nails and hammered the nails into my wall, after which I stuck my calendars (two) on the wall. I've been meaning to do that for about two weeks, but I finally got around to looking up the Russian word for 'hammer' and 'nail.' 'Hammer' is 'molotok' and I've already forgotten what 'nail' is.

I will start posting here more often now, since after all, what else is a blog for?
