soooo last night we went out to achtung baby after the beginning of the semester dinner(which was awesome by the way). and i learned from seth that german people say that(achtung +something i dont remember) during sex for some reason that is lost in my memories clouded with vodka shots and morcberry. it was a fun night. although looking back i can't help but feel a little hollow about the ways of socializing. im not really a going out person id much rather go to a coffee shop than a club. all in all though it was a good time.

ive also decided that im giving up alcohol for lent. and i bet my lil brother on it so its going to be lasting thing. i hate to lose.

ive been thinking about a bunch of random shit lately. like for example my scar---not the one on my toe or the one under my chin but THE scar. Its really funny actually. because i never really think about it usually. although now that i am meeting so many new people i wonder if my scar is part of the first impression i make on them. Are they like "whoa look at that" and all awkward about it. do they notice it at first? does it stand out or blend in. Its funny because its not something i am self conscious about at all and its not a sore subject. but people never really ask me about it so i think it must produce some effect on people. if not they would just ask right? well people. just ask.

so dont get offended if you are reading this newbies--im going to have a gossip girl moment. last night at the club there were some interesting pairs. like for instance one male member of the program being very close to a certain female on the program when i thought he had something else going on with an oldie. осторожно. thats all i have to say. this semesters group is very interesting. and also very different from last semester's group. i definitely am nostalgic for last semesters group. oh well.

oh i also fell for the first time the other day and almost took out a babushka with my foot. its very icy now that everythings melting and then freezing all over again. its getting to be that time of the year thats very dangerous for me. its almost march. for some reason every march i have a streak of bad luck and the universe is out to get me. i think a sign was when i fell the other day. its starting. i hope i dont get maimed by a falling icicle or something.

tomorrow is maslenitsa and i am very excited. we are planning on going to yelagin island for some festivities. i will bring my camera and hopefully post up some pictures. then we are making blini in our dorm and some friends might come over. all in all should be a good day.


til next time

Love,
