Russky Yezzik and stuff

"I'd better tap out an email to my collegues," as the Brit standing next to me just said. I am in Linden and Denz, the center where I'm studying Russian. I keep getting the shuttle/metro thing wrong and getting here a lot sooner than I ever expect. But better early that late I think... it's about 9:40am and I have lessons from 10:00am to 1:50pm. To fill the extra time, I take walks around the Belaruskaya area, or do email on one of the four computers free to use. Lessons are fantastic. I'm in a class with 8 other people, who are all stories in themselves.

Last night I went to a very nice place for dinner with my mom, dad, and his boss from France. After not having a drop since January (maybe December), dinner with a Frenchman who loves wine kind of put the world in a spin for me.

I'm going to start tutoring a kid from Turkey today. I'm pretty excited about that.

My favorite part is when he starts walking with the guy with the briefcase.
