Two Weeks Down!
I have finshed my second week of teaching. I am getting the hang of things, but I am also realizing how much time I need to dedicate to things like preparing lessons and grading papers. I am becoming well adapted to life here in Russia, its a good thing I've always been a fan of the metric system. I still find it quite stressful when someone tries to speak Russian to me, as I struggle to bring myself to sheepishly confessing "Ya ni panamaiyu pa rooski."
I'm really suprised at how, given the Russian hospitality I've heard so much about, I have still yet to eat anything Russian that I didn't buy or cook myself. I guess I need to make more friends here, so that I'll be invited to a festive russian dinner.

Sounds like you are having fun. Your experience there is probably very different from mine, even though we are both teaching. Although I jumped into a nearly foreign environment, you did jump into a completely foreign environment.

I am having fun. I enjoy Moscow, and my job isn't too bad. It is a very foreign environment. What do you do when the landlord comes over, and he doesn't know a word of English except "Me Boss" and barges in your apartment. Fortunately he was just her to make some repairs.
But, anyway, I guess life is too short not to make an adventure out of it!
