Today, I only had to shadow an hour long class, which was nice because I was able to go home and take care of some business (like paying my bills and stuff). Ooooo and I also made pasta, I miss eating pasta every day.

I've been watching a lot of cliche american chick flicks that have been dubbed in Russian with no subtitles and I'm not going to lie- I've been loving it.

At around 6 or 7 our good friends, Ilya and Luda came by to take me to a show. Yes, a show. A hip, folk show at a DIY store called freakfabrique(clothes, books, and things), where everything is hand made and the books are used. Everyone sat on the ground and there where even cookies and orange juice to share.


I didn't really understand anything, but I could gather that the band, Morj, was really funny. The lead singer wore this burlap dress and the bass player wore a kilt, striped socks, deep v neck, and fitted suit jacket.

My host family bought me their cd and made me take a picture with them, which I tried to run away from. I'm trying so hard not to be a complete tourist, but it hasn't been working out.

But I just think it's funny how perfect my host family is. Like really? I'm with the hippest people in Voronezh. I don't care how lame that sounds. Like Ilya and Luda are one of the best graphic designers in the city and they do a lot of stop motion animation stuff, which melts my heart. And Lena is this adorable cute girl, that's super sweet, fun, and silly- I honestly can't imagine living with anyone but her.

But then we went back to mine and Lena's place and tried some moonshine that Ilya's father made. Hahhaha. It was kind of spicy. I preceded to teach them some words such as lightweight and chaser and they taught me how to take a shot without dying. Then I went to bed.
