So I'm totally going for the 'everything happens for a reason' approach to life. I did my laundry yesterday and of course the dryer did not dry my clothes so I had to hang a laundry line across my room. One side was connected to my curtain rod and the other was wrapped around a cabinet in the upper corner of my room. As I started angrily hanging the clothes, the line kept sinking farther and farther down until the cabinet burst open and inside.....a mattress pad. To those back at home sleeping on memory foam, I don't think you understand the excitement I felt when I looked up and saw this. I have been sleeping on a rock hard mattress from the 1950's (no exaggeration) for over two months now and this extremely old, chicken feather mattress pad is a game changer for the duration of my sleep here in Moscow. I am so happy that my clothes did not dry in the dryer because I never would have made this discovery without that not so great experience.
Enough about the mattress pad.
My friend Doria and I went to a really great restaurant yesterday called 'Meat and Fish' and yes it is in English. It was a little bit pricey but sometimes you just need a good lunch.
I've come to the conclusion that I will never fully understand the Russian grammar but I'm hoping it can achieve 3/4 of the way understanding. When I come home I will have enough credits to be in advanced intermediate Russian language and that is a serious problem because I know I am not advanced intermediate. I'm probably just beginning intermediate. I schedule my classes for next semester at UK in 2 hours. I'll be taking political classes and Russian classes.
Nothing extraordinary has happened lately because I'm adjusted to life here and I have developed my own little routine. I'm looking forward to the coca cola factory visit on Tuesday.
