I am so in love with this song right now <3 And the Red Army Choir. And Russia BUT WHAT IS NEW EH.

What an awesome day! Invaded IKEA with Jenn today and pigged out on meatballs and soft serve. Phat will come back to haunt me, yeah, BUT I REGRET NOTHING because we had an awesome time! THANK YOU FOR AN AWESOME DAY OF AWESOMENESS, I LOVE YOU JENNN!!! <3 I will cook wonderful Russian food for you and we will PARTY HARD LIKE SU-SAN >8D And you will let me see your sketchbooks and stop being so disparaging of your own art, self praise may be an international disgrace but self-flagellation does nothing to build character! :< What is this defeatism, IVAN AND I DO NOT APPROVE D8< We will both keep practising and one day we will draw like all those awesome artists out there! That being said, THANK YOU FOR THE HOT RUSSIA AND BELARUS DRAWING, I'M SORRY YOU ONLY GOT UNPRESENTABLE RUGGED GOOD MORNING ENGLAND IN EXCHANGE >_>

Exam results come out tomorrow! What a busy week ahead with GAPS and CORS, and it's Christmas week too D< NUS Y U DO DIS. All the best to everyone else on their results! I'm nervous but I think my excitement over Christmas and Ivan's birthday and Russian Christmas is kinda overwhelming me at the moment, which isn't necessarily a bad thing I suppose. Must go grocery shopping for ingredients soon... Катюша

Расцветали яблони и груши,

Apple and pear trees were a-blooming,

Поплыли туманы над рекой.

Mist (was) creeping on the river.

Выходила на берег Катюша,

Katyusha set out on the banks,

На высокий берег на крутой.

On the steep and lofty bank.

Выходила, песню заводила

She was walking, singing a song

Про степного, сизого орла,

About a grey steppe eagle,

Про того, которого любила,

About her true love,

Про того, чьи письма берегла.

Whose letters she was keeping.

Ой ты, песня, песенка девичья,

Oh you song! Little song of a maiden,

Ты лети за ясным солнцем вслед.

Head for the bright sun.

И бойцу на дальнем пограничье

And reach for the soldier on the far-away border

От Катюши передай привет.

Along with greetings from Katyusha.

Пусть он вспомнит девушку простую,

Let him remember an ordinary girl,

Пусть услышит, как она поет,

And hear how she sings,

Пусть он землю бережет родную,

Let him preserve the Motherland,

А любовь Катюша сбережет.

Same as Katyusha preserves their love.

WHAT A WONDERFUL SONG <3

And I found this extremely charming:
