Good: Sometimes boys get on the metro with GIANT purple balloons and let you take pictures of them, as they do goofey smiles. :)
Good: My branch president is a hilarious german guy :)
Good: This past weekend we went to an irresistable little cafe, that turned all our hearts over to Russia ;). IT WAS SOO GOOD! I got a mixed drink with kiwi, white chololate, sorbet, and cream. A terriyaki chicken wrap, and then we all shared two slices of carrott cake, and a little piece of chocolate cake heaven. Needless to say, were saving our weekend food money with every chance we get, so we can gorge ourselves at this "heaven on earth" cafe. :)
Bad: I realize, after being away, how much I took my parents for granted..
Good: I learned that I love them, even more than I originally thought.
Good: I'm setting up some pretty awesome routines for myself! Including daily scripture study, crunches every night, CES study, and meditation. VERY NEEDED.
Bad: There are some points in my day, where I just stop whatever I'm doing, and think about how far away I am from everyone I love..and its hard.
Good:I then think of all the incredible people I have in my life, that I get to come home too. :)
Good: In my class today Sergey was the only one to show up, and I learned that he and I are the same person. For an hour and a half we cut M&M's in half, ate them by colour, hummed star wars, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, and Beethoven, and played UNO. We also both cheated. I love that kid. Mullet and all. :)
Bad: our head teacher locked us out of our apartment today when we got out of school..
Good: .. so we just had to guy buy more pistachio and almond ice cream and eat it out in the cold. We then went to the top floor of our apartment building, and while laughing and enjoying the view, we got yelled out at by a babushka! finally! :) hahaha
Good: the cutest little red headed boy, Sasha, winked at me today in Kindergarten.
