Updates on the life of Becky B.

mood: quite happy.
music: Hairspray
random word: curmudgeon

Update #1: I'M HOOOOOOOME!!! :D I got home Thursday afternoon and have been wonderfully relaxing since then. Speaking lots of English, of course, and becoming slightly worried that I won't be able to speak Russian again when I leave for Moscow. Doubting, however, that this is true because I dreamt in Russian last night (soo cool! :))

Update #2: I have 7 days until I leave for Moscow. 7!!! Actually, somewhere on the drive back from Language School, I became entirely okay with the fact that I leave for Moscow oh-so-soon. I'm actually really excited to go and despite packing issues would be ready to leave tomorrow. This is actually a really good development because I was very worried that 10 days at home wasn't going to be nearly enough.

Update #3: Much like my good friend Cata, I bought new, cosmopolitan shoes :) They're little booty things and make me feel very much like I should be walking about a city. They're also as close as I'm ever going to come to buying the high-high-heeled, super pointy-tipped shoes that all the Russians go about wearing.

Update #4: Spent the day today building an "Agility Course" for Lincoln. Oh, you guessed it - most definitely Abbey's idea. She put brooms and baseball bats across two chairs and made Lincoln jump over it. It was actually really funny, and cute. It's times like these when I remember how glad I am to be home.

Update #5: Hopefully seeing Dan and Becca Steinberg and possibly Kristen Ward at some point between Tuesday and Friday!! :D Very, very excited. Although also really worried that I'm not going to be able to say good-bye. I spent the last night of Language School in the Grille with Kevin, Kyle, Alex Hall, Katie and Molli and saying good-bye to all of them again was so ridiculously hard. It was like the last day of school all over again. So yeah, glad I get to see the CT folk again, but not very excited about having to say good-bye again.

Update #6: Actually, I think that's it.... I don't have any more updates. But as Dan very well knows, whenever you start numbering a list like this, you always feel like you have to add one more. Even if that one more is about the fact that you don't actually have one more. Right. Anyway, I'm going to go now. Hope all is well with everyone!

Love you like crazy, SO with you on the cosmopolitan shoes idea - I actually opted for the cosmopolitan coat but I'm still eyeing shoestores daily. You are going to be SO AWESOME in Moscow, and I can't wait to hear your stories. Best of luck, my love! (as if I'm not going to talk to you 10 times between now and then)

Mumkin I bought boots the other day but being retarded and not being able to figure out what size I am in non-U.S. shoes I bought a 38 when I probably should have bought a 39. So I had to go back and explain to the woman that I am dumb and she had to order me a 39 which will probably be there next week. So then I can go pick them up. It is quite a lot of work for a pair of boots. But they´re really hot boots. So I forgive myself. Yeah Russia!!! I watched a movie the other day and there was Russian in it and my host mother turned to me and asked ¨that´s not English, is it?¨ No, thank God that is not English, I told her. I am super excited for you. Can you email me your address and stuff so if I happen to be wondering through Moscow I can stalk you (or write you a letter perhaps....)
