Things I miss

Crepes
Borsch
Those strange orange fruit
Tea with every meal
Riding the metro
Having the metro for transportation
People watching on the metro
Mashrutkas when the metro was too far
Alyona
Yelena
My two little brothers
My two Russian friends
My Russian friends trying to speak English
Christie the kitty
Trying to speak Russian
Having people try to understand my Russian
Trying to interpret Russian
Reading Russian but not understanding it
Finding people who spoke English
Visiting amazing museums
Visiting churches
Lighting candles for my people
Church singing
Random mixes of architecture
Walking the city at night
Nevsky Prospekt
Bridges
Russian fashion
Russian coats
Russian boots
Feeling like somehow I belonged

Updates, since Russia

(Me at the Artillery Museum)
I apologize for not updating this at all for so long, things have been rather chaotic. I'm still in Omaha, with my family. I've missed most of the new year due to a migraine that has yet to be fixed after a CT scan, MRI, and many different drugs. Trying to get into life again slowly, my body is exhausted and the level of fitness I had when I got back from Russia is long gone after a month of being in bed. My current school interests lie in nursing and International Relations...pretty much the same as before. And someday I will live and work in India. In the meantime, I'll settle for being able to think clearly for an entire day.
