Another day of classes -- where I learned that when you say, "I finally met my dance teacher!" your teachers will ask you, "Is he handsome?" as soon as they find out he's a boy. =o///o=

Apparently, there's no such thing as a student/teacher barrier here.

Lilia Leonidovna told me, "I wish you success in *all* your pursuits [with Vitalii]," and Andrei Dimitrievich spent the whole of class teasing me, "I know he [Vitalii] is the most important thing in your life right now," etc. etc. etc.

I'm thinking I should learn to either not say I've met another Russian guys, or at least to say that they are not handsome, if I do? Ha ha ha.

After school, while waiting for Russian-American club, we watched a few more cartoons with Vika (our assistant RD) -- this time, it was "Malish' and Karlson" [Малишь и Карллсон]. I'm really excited, because next week, we'll be watching one of their old animated movies from the 50s, titled something to the effect of, "Snow Queen." ( -- That's the animation that I saw parts of when I went to Purga with Pete, that I wanted to see!)

After Russian-American club, Brittany showed me one of the Bread Stands in the neighborhood where I could get the bubliki [бублики] that she'd had a few weeks ago at R-A Club, and then we hung out for a little bit, while she grabbed something to eat before heading over to the restaurant where everyone else was eating. It was a really good time, getting to chat, and we're even going to try to get a group of people to come out to the hustle club two Tuesdays from now! It should be fun!

I headed out to the John Donne myself (Sorry about not putting up any new posts!!), had a nice visit with Pete, and a nice chat online with Cory, and then headed home.

Tomorrow, we have our excursion to Soyuzmul'tfil'm -- the cartoon museum, which should be fun. (That excursion is also the reason that Vika has been showing us cartoons for the last two weeks.)
