So I have yet to do work today. Except that I actually have excuses today... Except that I suppose they don't really count seeing as I'm on the blog instead of now doing my work. And yes, this does have to do with the title of this post. Ok, let's go through my day today. No, really, it'll be fun...

- Class in the morning and afternoon...that's not exciting and definitely not an excuse as to why I have yet to do any work.

- After my afternoon classes I had theater rehearsal until dinner. We've got just over a week until the show, which is exciting. :)

- After rehearsal I had like 20 minutes until dinner and I just lied down and listened to music, which was actually really nice because I needed to rest and relax for a few minutes (p.s. rest and relax are the same word in Russian, which would have been convenient here, but English decided to be complex and confusing...complex and confusing are also the same word. actually, this is cool. it means i'm slightly thinking in Russian. anyway, to continue...)

- Dinner was...not exciting. But then I got back from dinner to a message on my phone from a few family friends from Delmar who were in Middlebury! Apparently, they were on vacation, eventually to Southern Maine, but were in between Lake George and Maine and had a night to do whatever, and decided to come to Midd. hah. It was actually nice to see them. We walked around campus; we turned the other way when my Russian teacher walked toward us; and all in all, it was a nice 30-minute tour of Midd. Needless to say, I didn't get any work done then.

- Found an Alaska car, ran up to my room to get my camera, ran back to the car, and then back to my room. Yes, I do already have Alaska, but it's not the best picture in the world, and I figured, how often do you see Alaska? So I might as well take another picture. I've been taking doubles of a bunch that I had bad pictures of because on the new facebook photo printing thing, you can make a poster of lots of little pictures, which means I actually have something to do with my license plate pictures! Oo-rah! :)

- Then I had to go down to the Gamut room to watch the last 20 minutes of the movie we didn't get to finish today in class. And holy crap did it have a Russian ending. It's called "Cruel Romance" and to make a long story short, she dies in the end. Hope none of you wanted to see it. It was actually good, except for that part. Well, except that was really the only way it could end, so I think I'm ok with it, but still. Oh, Russia.

- Then I came back to my room, went on facebook, checked the weather - 95 degrees tomorrow!! 95!! That's unacceptable. I don't think I can handle that.

So, basically, as most of you know, it was a normal day for me. No work done, but busy enough, and plenty of procrastinating as well. The funny thing is that after about each of those things that I mentioned, I ended up in YeMin and Marina's room to talk or tell them what happened. And about 10 minutes ago, when I went in to announce that it was going to be 95 tomorrow, they both laughed at me. It was then that I realized that I haven't been doing the whole procrastinate and run to other people's rooms to talk this summer. As you all know, I'm very good at it... how often was I in Suite I last year? hah. Anyway, I explained this habit to them, they laughed harder, and then I walked away, head bowed. ;) But yeah, I guess it's a good sign...? Because it means I'm comfortable with them or something...? Right. I'll just go with that.

I should go read now. This was a long post...I'm not sure why. I'm also not sure why I seem to have a lot of energy. Interesting. Anyway, miss you all, so happy to hear from Laura and Cata, and I shall talk to you all soon! - just over 2 weeks until I can speak English again! (shut up. I mean speak English on a regular basis. I DO obey the language pledge.....more or less.) Спокойной ночи!
