bloom and grow forever

I'm sure the Baroness will be able to make things fine for you. If not, a year in Russia sure will.

In the Parlance of Our Times


So, this is where I live. Actually, this is the view from my balcony to the building next door - but they're all the same, so it doesn't really matter. Our apartment is cozy; I haven't met any of my neighbors yet, but the babushkas sit out in the courtyard in the evening while kids bike and play soccer and run around the playground. All in all, it seems like a nice place, but I would rate walking home at night through the overgrown bushes as moderately scary.




And this is the AH. So, yes, it hard not to refer to school as home. The first floor is just like an normal American house, with offices occupying the bedrooms. In the basement are four classrooms and a larger main room. Upstairs we have a big classroom and the teachers' office, where I can be found about ten hours a day.

Needless to say, this is the only building of its kind here, and gets many a second glance from passersby.

Hope you enjoyed the tour!
