Day 5:
Not a lot exciting to say about today, although when I went to the library with my host sister the librarian thought that I really was her sister. It was funny. I can now understand a few words here and there, but still not much. And I was very tired.
Day 6: Today:
Well, we had our first quiz today and I got 100 percent. It was over vocabulary and I worked very hard to learn the Russian cursive. Then the Director of the Institute came to talk to us and said she would try to get the luggage for the one guy (three people lost their luggage but two got it back before we left St. Petersburg and they want to charge the third guy 250 dollars to get his bags). After class some of the Americans went out together today. We went to the cafe in one of the malls and checked out some of the stores. I ended up buying another Russian-English dictionary because this one is small enough to fit in a pocket and was about two dollars. Then we played frisbee and I came back to my host family's place to do some homework. Tomorrow is a holiday, but we are meeting for a tour of the local church.
