So this is a dual-day coverage.
Yesterday was Wednesday. I had my Primary and my Level 2 class that day. Primary ended up being great, because it was only girls, so we definitely had fun.
Then in my Level 2, the challenging child (Yegor) was a complete angel. Seriously, it was an insane transformation. He went from kicking other students papers off the desk to quietly asking if he had spelt his words correctly on his work. Go parental confrontation!
He even decided to draw me a Labyrinth, which he explained to me in great detail.
Yegor is crazy smart, which is probably why he is a little obnxious.
I am also glad to say I dominated that Labyrinth.
I left Level 2 early so I could get home. It was Anyas birthday, and her friends, parents, and brother and sister were coming over for a huge family dinner.
I arrived a tidge late, and realized everyone was really dressed up. So I quickly slid into a skirt and called it good!
The food was absolutely incredible, of course. Anya made bacon wrapped mushroom stuffed chicken breast, along with 2 salads, one tuna and the other baked spinach, and there was also sesame topped german cheese filled crossants.
I was also offered wine. Which I declined, and I got to rock apple and peach juice in my wine glass for all the toasts that were given. I definitely love my host family.
Today was a lazy day. I really did nothing until about 4 when I got ready and headed to my Level 4 class. I do believe Level 4 is my best behaved class, there are quiet, attentive, and quite hilarious if I say so myself.
They have been so good, I decided to teach them how to stand on eggs.
It ended up being hilarious, of course. We all loved it.
The lesson was about pressure, but mostly we just squished eggs.
I came home today to find we had company. I walked towards my room to hang up my jacket, when who do I see?
Good 'ol Yegor.
His mother chatted with me, she is really fluent in English. She told me how she threatened Yegor that if he misebehaved in class, he wouldn't be allowed to go with them to Finland.
Well, it worked.
After dinner, I decided to go hang out with the kids, since the adults were all speaking Russian anyway and the children I could at least communicate a little with.
I found out Alena loves the Little Mermaid.
Boo ya.
I showed her my Little Mermaid shirt and she got so excited, she took out all her mermaid dolls.
Yegor was helping Tima build tracks for their cars. They were absolutely hilarious together.
Alena then showed me some pictures, and asked me how to say things in English and I in turn asked how to say things in Russian.
Basically, I love being in St. Petersburg.
