It’s been a weird holiday season for me so far. Between learning the Russian definition of “party” first-hand and seeing American consumerism at its best, I think I’ll just be glad when the holidays are over.
After experiencing the worst week of Russian classes ever, I managed to end the week on a high note. This afternoon’s report subject was “Moy Brat” (for my non-Russian speaking readers, that translates to “My Brother”).
You may have noticed that I haven’t posted in a few weeks. That is because Russian has taken over my life. Quite literally. Not only do I spent 8 hours a day in class, attempting to speak only Russian, but since Shawn and I are both learning, we try to speak it as much as possible at home as well. And now we’ve found the one Russian television station that we get on digital cable. I’ve discovered that if you watch the 1984 Miss USSR pageant right before going to bed, you tend to dream in Russian. It’s unfortunate really.
This week marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life. After a day of testing yesterday, today was my first official day of Russian training. My brain feels full tonight, but please don’t ask me to say anything.
