Weekends

Another super fast weekend. Ended up just hanging out on Friday night. Had a bit of a sore throat this week so I was laying low. Yesterday Lena and I had a little beach trip with some of our friends. It was fun to be in the sun and see some of the beautiful countyside and a bit of the lake. Today Lena and I went to the beach again, the one close by on the river near the Kremlin. It was on and off rainy and sunny, but we really had a lot of fun. Colin, Alina, and Masha met up with us and we had some really fun frisbee going on. Then it started raining so we played in the rain and then Lena and I ended up going swimming. It was really fun. When we got home we ate pilmeni which are SO delicious and quickly becoming one of my favorite Russian foods. Then I watched a pirated copy of the newest Harry Potter movie in Russian...I understood a bit of it...lol. Now Lena is at it again the the kitchen making some delicious blini...another of my favorites. Tomorrow is our final exam in my Russian language class so it's blini and studying for the rest of the night.

Oh, here's an anecdote from the internship. On Friday one of the little boys, who I've never really even spoken to, was like attached to my waist and wouldn't stop hugging me the entire time was there. He actually tugged on my arm and I leaned down to hear what he wanted to tell me. It ended up being "Я вас люблю" which means "I love you". It was cute...in a wierd way. Lol.

More later.
