Hello! It's spring here, finally... or SO THEY SAY. Personally, I don't believe it. I've stopped believing in good weather in Russia. It's just a trick, like has happened so many times before. A warm streak to get everyone to dress lightly - then it snows. It's been 80 here the past couple of days - but tomorrow it will snow. Mark my words.
At work, carrying on! Only 7 weeks to go. I've had an amazing 2-week vacation. First week, Dad was here. It was the trip of a lifetime for him, and I feel it was a big success. We were in Moscow 4 days, then in the countryside, because he wanted to see the "real Russia." That's kind of ironic for me - I don't know how to explain it. "The real Russia" is a bit old hat for me now, and the delight and fascination he felt with it all just makes me open eyes wide, eyebrows up, and smile for him. Good for you, dad. He took notes on everything we did, and a lot of pictures, so at some point there may be a post on here about that, or his own blog.
The second week off I got to rest and relax, praise the Lord. I went to the gym every day and sometimes, yes, it's possible: even did nothing. Veeeeeeery reluctant to go back to work next week - but what can you do? The final sprint.
Looking to the future and having trouble living in the present. But good things about my life right now include a bible study group I've been going to, friends, resting when I can and going out when I can. I've managed to save up a little bit of money and am thinking about how best to transition back to my home country! Keep in touch y'all.
