Yesterday was a Russian day...

Yesterday, was a Russian day for me. Not because of the weather, or because of any particular cultural experience. Simply that for some reason, yesterday I appearently blended into to life here very well.

I was spoken to on the bus, on the way to school. At school, one of my teacher's used my hair color as an example for the adjective "russie" which is the traditional color of hair in Russian folk-tales and folk-songs.

I was twice asked for directions to places yesterday. Asked if the marshutka went to a specific stop, and in the produkti I was asked a location of something as well!


I was also exhausted. Both Irina Genadievna, and Tanya said it was the weather. Every one was sleepy yesterday. I felt like a little kid wanting to go to bed at 7pm. (I made it to 9pm!)

Today however, the weather is beautiful. I got back my phonetics test, which I did better on than expected. I also took a grammar test to do, which I think I did horribly on. However, it may just have been the last section that I did horribly. I'll wait until next class to find out. :-P

That's all for my life right now.

I know that feeling of a very Russian day... I was in the federation a few years ago.
