That's what the name Anastasia means. And I'm using it to talk about my re-entrance to the online world. I have internet again!
Things in Russia have started to become very white- the snow has been falling for maybe a week now, and I think it snowed all night last night because when I woke up, the world was a winter wonderland outside my window. I go tromping through deep snow- halfway up to my knees! It makes everything prettier because it covers all the garbage and dead things that no one bothers to put somewhere else.
I'm getting much better at riding these crazy buses. I'm used to people being pressed against me, and being told to give up my seat to a babushka or dyedushka, and I know that sometimes people address me as debushka.
Sometimes I know that I'm the worst forgein exchange student ever. One morning my mom made me a soft-boiled egg, and when she saw that I wasn't wolfing it down, she decided to spoon feed it to me. It was at that point that I said in my broken Russia: "My mom in America said no" because I really didn't want to eat raw egg. I found out later that it would have been okay, but...
So right now I'm going to go for a run in the snow. It's my second time, and I only fell once on my first try! I just registered for classes for my last quarter at SPU. So weird.
