As I walked down the hall dragging a trash bag behind me, I heard a door open, and Amanda the RA peeked from her room and offered me a krispy kreme doughnut. Naturally, refusal is not an option when confronted with a krispy kreme doughnut. So, jittery with anticipation, I entered her room.
But nothing is free. Or, at least, krispy kreme doughnuts aren't. Or, at least they weren't in this particular case.
As payment I had to translate what it said on a shirt she bought from some russian lady who was selling USSR paraphernalia. The lady didn't speak any english, so Amanda bought a t-shirt at random.
The things we sometimes buy at random.
This was the awesomest t-shirt I have ever seen.
On it was a picture of Yuriy Gagarin. Above him was his signature. And at the very top it said, "Kosmos budyet sluzhit' lyudyam."
THE COSMOS WILL SERVE THE PEOPLE.
Spectacular.
In the true spirit of mother Russia.
