I arrived this morning at 8am Moscow time (midnight your time). I couldn't be happier to have arrived! I didn't sleep the entire time and still haven't. I can't wait until I meet my bed tonight! haha The flights went great, especially the Aeroflot one. I don't know why Uncle John and Aunt Nancy hinted that I wouldn't like it because I thought it was nice. The flight attendant on the flight thought that I was Russian and always communicated to me in Russian. She asked me thinks like if fish and vegetables were ok, what I wanted to drink, etc. I understood her until the very last question she asked me- whether I wanted an omelette with cheese or an omelette with sausage. I looked at her with a completely clueless look on my face, and she looked at me like what the heck is wrong with you? Why don't you understand? Finally, my friends and I told her we didn't understand, and she became embarressed at the realization that I wasn't Russian. lol After we arrived, we had to of course go through customs. There were gorgeous Russian males, but of course, they were not friendly by any means and kinda rude. They thought one of my friends and I were related and didn't believe us. Then, one of them kept holding up my passport to me, not believing it was me and insisted I even take my glasses off... After being shuffled through customs, we met our teacher and had coffee with her until the other group of students arrived. Then we finally started the long drive to Moscow State University. The drive was fantastic! Russia is so cool! It reminded me so much of Brazil, especially the horrible drivers. They scared us all to death. Apparently road rules aren't exactly enforced in Russia since people park wherever they want on the road and as such, people are going both ways on a now one way street because of cars scattered EVERYWHERE. We just got settled into our dorms. They are so tiny, but not as tiny as I thought it would be. We are about to go take a tour of our university and then go out to dinner to celebrate Brandon's birthday. I'm so happy and excited to be here! ta ta for now!
