So here I am
So I'm with a russian family now. My host father says i don't talk much, probably because I don't. It's really hard to speak this language. I can get about half of what is simply spoken to me now, but still that doesn't quite seem enough alot of the time. I can say things in Russian now, and I can get my point across with only words if it's a simple question. That was interesting actually, A japaneese man asked me in russian why I chose to come to nizhney novgorod to study and not moscow and I was able to understand his russian and answer him. I was really proud of that. Good time. The food here is good, everything is natural. I think I'll end up eating rye bread, and drinking whole milk when i come back to the states. You never know. Everything is cool. There's also a niece that comes around frequently, the first three days she was here, and I think she spends the weekends here, it's a rather nice appartment. It's really cool being here, we go to Kazan this weekend. That'll be fun, I've been busy writing liturature papers and I need to start on my research project in earnest. Sorry i haven't updated consistantly.
talk to you all when i got more to say... laters
can't hold me back
crazyness

Valentines day
Back to the valentines day celebration.... It was very interesting. We entertained each other with skits. It was kinda hard to organize these skits because we were very disorganized after valdimir. Me and my roommate lipsank(?) to Mulan's a girl worth fighting for. It was fun. Me and my roommate also got all the girls chocolate and got each one a flower. It was fun. Also I cut my hand trying to make props for our skit, that was interesting, but there are nurses in the place where we stay. I dunno if I said this before but we are staying in a profolactory, where the sick recover, so there are doctors here. I also sprianed my ankle pretty bad getting off the bus. So Ima just recover for a while.
