I scream

You scream. Today I made brownies for our teachers meeting and they were a big success (Dad, thanks for the mix). After the meeting, I met with 3 of my students (girls) for a trip to Baskin Robbins, where I had one scoop of mango and one of some other kind of fruit. In Russia, you can order a pot of tea at Baskin Robbins and purchase small tea cakes to go with it. The tea and the ice cream were delicious. The girls wanted to know what was different about Baskin Robbins in Russia and America. I told them their Baskin Robbins was nicer. We looked at photos of each other, watched people walking outside, and talked about what movies and books we like. I was so excited to have my very own social event outside of work. It made my life in Vladimir more real but I'm still partly in transition limbo. I'm beginning to understand more of what I hear, but I can't say much yet.
