My Week

Well, Moscow routine is right here. It is a little weird to be back into this after balanced rhythm of life that I had in America. And my life is getting really busy again. Classes in university, looking for a new job, and meeting with friends – all this requires some good time. I don't even have enough time now for checking Internet and updating blog, facebook and other things that I do on the Internet. I am not doing as many pictures now as I used to and probably won't post as often as I used to. But I will post. I like it, it feels like doing a personal diary even though I know some people except me can also read this.

This week was very long and really full of events.


Yesterday and Friday I was guiding some American guys around Moscow, showing them the Kremlin, Red Square and helping with buying souvenirs. This is type of job I do from time to time to get some cash, but it is unfortunately not on a permanent basis. Because it is something I really enjoy doing.


Thursday I was visiting my friends Jesse and Bobbie (and little Stephen as well). It is interesting that after I arrived back to Moscow I had this feeling that nothing really changed here while I was traveling. And really nothing changed except for some things about people around. For example, Jesse has made a really huge progress in his Russian language studies. I was amazed to listen to his good and fast speaking in Russian.


Wednesday I was doing some paper-work for tax-return (taxes that I was paying in the States)-hopefully I am going to get 80% of it back this coming April - and getting details about entering next summer program. Yes, yes, I am coming again! I hope to visit California finally...But it depends on where I will get a job-offer from. Then in the evening we had our small home-group with friends. It was good relaxation time.


Tuesday, I went to IKEA to buy some stuff for home. But unfortunately the wardrobe I was hunting for was not available so I only bought some small things.


Monday I had good time with friends. We had some good dinner and spent time playing my favorite card-game – NERTS! It is great and I usually play well, but not this time. It was hard for me to be concentrated.





So that's how it was this week. I feel tired, probably the first time after a while. Now I fully realize how balanced and well-constructed my life regime was back in USA.

Ok... now I think I will go write some e-mails to friends and also update my facebook!
