That's TOO MUCH STYLE!

>> Tuesday, August 21, 2007



So...my story...pretty complicated...I was thinking to myself the other day...Why? Why is it this way that I feel so uncomfortable here in America - the place that I desired to visit so much...I was thinking...a lot...
Well...now it sounds like I know the answer. The other day I heard the advice not to concentrate too much on problems and another stuff like that. Great advice!
The whole July I was kind of stressed out, and I was thinking too much about the past, about the people I said goodbye to, about life in general. And I was so full with those thoughts and bitterness that I didn't enjoy life.
I remember 7th of August. I called my friend David before he was leaving to Siberia. I was complaining so much about my life. But...2 weeks passed since then...I sometimes can't believe how much can change in 2 weeks or even less...Now I feel so different from how I was feeling the whole July and that 7th of August.
Now I am enjoying my life like for 100%. Why?...Because I made that...I stopped concentrating on difficulties of life...I stopped thinking too much about what has already passed away. I decided to become ready to meet some new awesome people.
So I just started it. And now...2 weeks since 7th of August I am absolutely different. I started socializing. I met new people. I met a great friend here. I like spending time with him so much. I changed my schedule dramatically...I no more work 65 hours a week. Money is important, but I don't want pay that price. I don't want to lose my health. I want to spend more time with people and meet new friends, and really enjoy everything around. I don't want to only work and miss the whole American fun.
Today I worked 3 hours. Yesterday - 7 hours. The day before - 5 hours. It's not much any more. Tomorrow I am supposed to work 9 hours and I can't think of how I will stand that without seeing my new friends. 9 hours is now so much for me. I will be waiting for the evening to spend more time with all those great people and personalities that live here...right next to me...sometimes the very next house.
I feel great now! I really enjoy America now and as I made some first efforts to make new friends, it is now all going so smoothly.
I am not counting down till my departure to Moscow any more. I already know that I will miss Glenwood and my new friends a lot.
So today I just had an awesome day. We went to mall, were taking a lot of pictures there, then made a new friend with a policeman, who actually caught us for hitchhiking, but then we started talking about Moscow and telling him all about it, and finally we said goodbyes as friends.
Then we went back to friends' apartment and just spend awesome time talking, eating yummy apple-cinnamon pie with chocolate ice-cream and taking more pictures.
I just love it. All this comfort of life and fun and all!!!!
And I really can't wait till tomorrow to enjoy the other day of my great life and the other day of God's creation.



I absolutely love those cowboy hats! They are hot!
These are my friends Lydia and Marina.



We noticed that in American malls they have some pretty big clothing sizes. Like, I mean...really big...those pants and sweatshirt are still not the biggest possible. I feel so small and really compact-sized in that huge XXXL clothing!







Ugh...big pants...



So as we were trying cool outfits and taking pictures, the shop assistants were looking at us as if we were complete idiots. But that was so much fun!

Did you meet your current new friends randomly or did you actually go introduce yourself?
