Today was the last lesson in the skating course I took, so I was a little sad, because I won’t be able to take the follow-up course in which they’re going to do basic figure skating, so finally some more advanced stuff ( Read more... )

So, I'm back from my short trip home to the Czech Republic. I went to the Russian embassy in Prague on Wednesday to apply for my visa; I only had to wait about an hour. I originally thought I'd spend a bit more time in Prague on this occasion, maybe meet up with some friends, but, in the end, it was real quick and we went straight home. Maybe I'll ( Read more... )

I finally booked my flight today. I'm going on February 28th, Berlin - Moscow, leaving at 11:30, with Air Berlin.

I think poor Amélie - the only French girl in the trinational Master group - got genuinely scared today. I asked Lena and Tanya whether it's true that, every year in the spring, they switch off the hot water in Moscow for a month... and they said that yes, it is the truth, indeed, and that every district of Moscow gets that in a different month. I' ( Read more... )

Today I:
- got up way too early for my liking
- wrote fic instead of paying attention to my International Economics class
- spent several hours trying to make some decisions for the Business Simulation game
- was grateful that the ladies on my team actually know something about number-crunching (unlike me ( Read more... )

It's astonishing how much more confident wearing heels can make you. I've been wearing my new red mary-janes quite often lately and today I realized just how much presence that clack-clack adds to one's strut. Add jeans that make your ass look fabulous to it (that is what I wore today in the morning) or a short red skirt (that was my outfit in the ( Read more... )

OMG I'm sitting here in the living room and Anna1 is in her room, doing something. Suddenly I hear music... and it's the song from Cheburashka, the one that Gena the crocodile plays on his harmonica in the beginning, the sad-Russian-melancholy one. Now I want to watch Cheburashka!
