mood: truly quite happy.
music: Pure Prairie League (um..yeah...obviously the russian group "Pure Prairie League")
random word: приключение

Things that make me absolutely, completely happy:

1. Killing my writing test today. And by that I mean doing awesome at it. Killing isn't the right idiom, but I couldn't think of a better one, so "killing" will have to do. Stupid Russian destroying my ability to think in English idioms...although I don't think "killing" is a Russian one either...

2. Exit exams being over! We had them all weekend, and it sucked, but...

3. No classes tomorrow and very little homework this weekend because of exit exams!!

4. The most exciting volleyball match of the summer. It was really, really close, and the end of the last game went to like 23-22, I think, and was really intense, but so so so good. And, I'm sorry to say (and by sorry I mean extremely ecstatic) that we totally beat the Arabic School in one of the best-played volleyball games I've ever seen!! Sorry, Kyle (...because I know you're reading this :-P)

5. Running across campus yelling "Приключение! Приключение!" "Adventure! Adventure!", eventhough the only adventure we were embarking on was driving to Hannaford's to buy flowers for Liza for the talent show.

6. Talent shows! And really talented people! And just general fun. :)

7. Impromtu discotecks (not really impromptu, but impromptu for us cause we weren't planning on staying) and dancing really goofily and completely letting go and being with people who were doing the same, which made it soo much fun!

8. Being able to just sit and talk in Russian about absolutely nothing, and then suddenly realize an hour had gone by.

9. Today in general! Just everything.

10. Just to make it an even 10...wonderfully sunny days that aren't too hot, and make everything that happens during the day that much better.


Needless to say, I'm in a wonderful mood, and it has been a wonderful day. It's weird that this past week of Russian School has been my favorite week of the summer, and now we're about to leave. Oh, well, I just won't think about it and enjoy myself. And don't worry, I'm still quite excited to go home.
