Aright, so we've been here for more than a week now and I still haven't written anything. I guess I just have to find the time and energy, Kenzie and I still have really strange sleeping schedules; we tend to go to bed between 5:30 and 7 pm and the latest we've gotten up is 4:30 am. So obviously something has to change :) We started teaching on Tuesday, and I have to say, it's pretty hard. We teach from 9-1 and have 4 classes split up into two groups. The kids from one of the classes pretty much speak no English. Kenzie and I are having trouble getting them to follow our teaching method. Two of them just give us blank stares all the time.
As far as host families go, Kenzie and I are staying in the same one. Half of the family we never really see and the other half only every now and then, but it's ok, because they only speak Russian, so we can't say much anyways. :P They're nice though, and they have a cat that all of a sudden decided to be our best friend.
I'm not gonna write very much right now because we're leaving soon to shop and then we're going downtown to see a ballet! :)
So I'll just say one last thing, yesterday Kenzie and I bought Lay's thinking they were red currant flavored (but then again who's ever heard of berry flavored chips...?) Turns out though it was red caviar. We haven't tried them yet, they might be good...might be. Note to self: "ikra" means caviar....
