Halloween Wandering

Today I took my weekly Friday test, which I felt went pretty well.

Then I started filming a movie with two other students--it is homework--we had to write it, plan it, and then act in it. Thanks to Jake for giving me some experience with this sort of thing. I made a lovely stickfigure storyboard, and bossed everybody around, and it was really fun. I think our teachers are going to put the movies on Youtube. If so, you will be able to see it but not understand it because it is all in Chinese.

After that, we had our Friday lunch, which is when students go out to lunch with teachers and our program pays for it. I really like this experience because there are usually eleven or so of us, so we order eleven dishes, and then we all share.

Then the weather was great again, so I went to my favorite park, and went back to explore Russiantown a little more. Russian town was cool because all the people trying to sell things spoke Russian to me, also every other store was a fur store, which was cool and scary. Also some people looked really tough. I would not want to cross them.

I bought a hat and scarf for the winter for about a dollar fifty US each. Tonight I am going to have dinner with my Chinese family, then go to our school's Halloween party. I plan to dress up in black and red with fake red eyelashes, I guess it will be a little devilish?

I don't think I am going to make it to nine posts because I really have nothing else to say today.

Seven is pretty close though.

yeah, i'm really terrible at bargaining too. however, I'm really good at being an asshole in russia, so maybe that would help. also, I saw swan lake at the mariinsky theater last week. it was pretty cooler, but I bet it would've been cooler if you were there to give me the insider scoop.
