Ah Friday… Friday was a good day. I had an early class with Elena. I debated about whether or not I wanted to go just because the woman gets a little crazy sometimes and I wasn’t really up for that today. I’m kind of weird too though, so in the end I did go to class. It was enjoyable! Go figure! We got our tests back as well, and I did well on that, despite believing I’d done the opposite. Stefanie, Diana, and I had nothing to do after class, so when it was done we hung around school for another hour or so. Stefanie had to pick up her certificate for taking classes, and that is what took so long. After her certificate was ready, they told her she needed to go down to the other university to get her certificate stamped with the school’s seal. They apparently don’t have multiple copies of that…so…we walked… in the rain. P.S. it’s been raining non-stop since Wednesday afternoon. The rest of the afternoon was filled with walking to and from school, to the metro, and to the student café by the main university. Diana, Stef and I got lunch and talked about boys and languages. Apparently Switzerland has great guys, Italians talk too much, the French are good, and the Germans are no no’s…
After Lunch, Stefanie and I went with Diana to pick up her Registration. AHHH NO NOT THAT BUILDING AGAIN!!! But, as I'm sure you've picked up on, I believe everything happens for a reason. The three of us stood in line, waiting to be called into the little room of shouting and miscommunication, when we starting chatting with one of the girls also standing with us. Her name is Philly. Well, that is her nickname, but I took it as a sign when she introduced herself as that. She's from England and was renewing her registration after a trip home. She's been in Siberia/ St. Pete since the beginning of January and is leaving August 5th. She's has the same phobia as I do...getting her haircut in Russia. We're both afraid of coming out of the salon bleach blond with blunt bangs. mmm that was fun to write. Anyways, her and I exchanged numbers and are planning on hanging out over the weekend. whoot!
Stef and I went to McDonalds and I let her use my computer. She hadn’t checked her mail or been on the internet for 2 weeks, so I was more than happy to let her do whatever she needed to on mine. She has 8 friends from Switzerland coming on Sunday, and invited me out with them during the week. They’re all going to Moscow on Thursday night, but are planning on doing some site seeing before hand. Maybe if this awful weather lifts, we can go to the "beach".
The beach...is not a beach. Swimming in the Neva would be like basking in the Schuylkill, and the beach is like a stone sidewalk. It's one of a kind :)
