le week-end

ah ha yes...well i did end up going to a russian class finally for FOUR and a HALF HOURS...it was rather interesting but over my head. first they corrected a translation (russian to french) for two hours with a seriously cute and nice guy teacher. This was reallllly funny cuz alllll the kids in the class were girls except one. They were all giving him a hard time and he kept complaining he had no authority. They said it's cuz he smiles too much hahaha

then for the rest of the time there was some reading and grammar. it was LONG but we got two or three breaks

today my job is to try to find other departments so i can find history/lit/translation classes

tomorrow i can go to the other russian class and hopefully that will work out better cuz i HAVE to take SOMETHING

oh i should check for babysitter ads tooooo...

cuz i need a job

friday night i went to a club...or was that thursday...did i talk about the club already? no so it must've been friday. la loco...it was big and crazy but there were too many people so we ended up leaving early of course we didn't GET there until almost 1 am so you can decide what early was lol

it was FREE except coat check...so that's what counts i guess

most of the weekend i spent studying/reading. still chipping away at the history of the color blue and my japanese textbook AND my russian textbook AND soon enough more books lol...i made decidedly more headway in the history of the dominican republic (cuz it's in english hehehe) emanuel let me borrow that...i think i'm going to start learning spanish again since he said he would help. this is probably not the greatest plan lol but i REALLY miss spanish...dan was joking that maybe i will get to russia not knowing french but knowing spanish but i told him if that were true i dunno if i would really mind lol as long as i learn SOMETHING...i am learning some french things tho...from reading this history book it's very good...learn some nice segway things and such.

Another thing I did was go to a language expo with lots of books. There I found a French vocab book with lots of very specific words. I almost typed spécifique...maybe that's a good sign.

I had one dinner night with emanuel and emily and one with chris and dan. i think we all eat too much here cuz sometimes we are just very good cooks LOL

altho i need a real couscous recipe

the couscous i have tho is really nice cuz it comes in little sacks that you boil for a minute and a half and then drain...super super easy and fast

i bought curry paste BWAH HAHAHAHA

hehe

oh my new address is A1012 (instead of B407; for those of you who have the old one everything else is the same...anyone looking to send me things who doesn't have the other half can e-mail)

mmmm news...i should be going i think...

happy valentine's day XD
