Well, there is still no suit case and yes my jeans are getting a little funky. The goodnews is they have located the suitcases but no one knows where..... Ahhh! the phone just rang! They found our suit cases and are going to deliver them in the morning. Hot Dawg that made my day!
We are all fighting jet lag and there is a Alaska effect here. What I mean is there is only 4 hours of darkness at night starting around 11:30 and ending around 3 am. Today was Russian Independence Day so many people were off work and it was an unusual day in the city they tell us. We are all forgetting our English and its only the 2nd day. We had our information meeting today at a really nice hotel in Moscow. It boasts guests like President Bush, Angelina Jolee, Hugo Chavez, The Clinton's (at different times). The purpose of this meeting was to "register" our students and match them up with one of us. We do not have as many students as we'd hoped due to the newspaper not running an add this weekend. But we will continue to advertise and fill our appointment books. I have 7 students so far. The one is the picture is an economist for the Russian goverment. My cough and cold are getting better with some really nasty medicene. God also sent me a doctor. No, seriously my last reader came to register and I thought she was asking me a lot of questions about my terrible cough and symptoms and all which I thought was funny until we got to the blank for profession and found out she is a pediatrician!
I am feeling so much better and meeting my students face to face helped me to remember why I am here.
