One of the highlights for me when I was on vacation in Spain was when we stumbled upon a classic car show. I'm pretty sure the girls didn't enjoy it, but I certainly did. I don't know what it is about classic cars, but I love looking at them. I think there's something about the curves ...
This morning I chose to wake up at 3:00 to stand outside for a little over an hour so a priest could dump some water on me. Why? Because it's Orthodox Easter today and we had to get our food blessed. So we went here: I did this last year and it makes me wonder why ...
I've decided there's something wrong with American vision correction. I discovered this today while I had the easiest eye exam of my life and bought the cheapest glasses of my life, in Ukraine. While I was vacationing in Spain, I mysteriously broke my glasses while I was sleeping. I took them off when I returned from ...
I was gone for two weeks because it's Spring Break. Get off my back already. I took a trip with a couple friends to Spain. Eight days split between Barcelona, Seville, and Granada. Eight days a week is expensive. But I enjoyed it, for the most part. Instead of rewriting what I already wrote in one ...
I've been MIA for the past few weeks, but I'll get to that later today or later this week. Right now, I want to tell you how much I hate sifting through government documents. Okay, hate might be too strong of a word but finding the exact information I need and then interpreting the wording is ...
I forgot to take a picture, but today I was walking around with 9,300 UAH (~$1,162.50). I emptied out the ATM to get this much. I needed to give Yulia the money so she could pay for our first shipment of books while she's in Kiev this week. I had ~15 200UAH bills, ~25 100UAH bills, ...
Maybe I'm off my rocker, but students in Ukraine today tend to have a different mindset about school than I did when I was their age (cue fade into flashback). I had a thought-provoking chat with one of the teachers at school today after our class decided they could collectively show up ten minutes late to ...
So I'm sure I've made it clear, but to reiterate, I'm a big Song of Ice and Fire series fan. So naturally, when I heard two girls in the 8th form saying things like "Winter is coming" and "Family, Duty, Honor", I perked up. Turns out, the two girls are in the middle of reading the ...
Here's a great picture of me with some of the 11th Form girls in the foreign languages department. They're wearing the traditional school uniform (though most are missing the very poofy white hair ties, even the ones in the photo aren't poofy enough) because they were getting their picture taken for official class photos. I ...
I do this thing where I only update my profile pictures on social networking sites once a year, if at all. I find it helps people associate my face with, well, me. It also makes my life easier because I'm not constantly thinking that I have a better picture that I could post of myself. ...
