so thursday was international women's day, which in russia means a day off from school and work! that was quite nice. we chilled out all day and did nothing, it was beautiful.
the weather here has been really nice...getting warmer so we don't need hats/gloves/scarves. it's very nice, though the metro is very warm.
yesterday we went to two art museums, the pushkin and then the gallery of european and american art of the 19th-20th centuries. we saw some pretty famous works so that was nice. van gogh, rembrant, renoir, matisse. good times. on the way we were on the metro and my arm got slammed in the metro door (the doors here, by the way, do NOT automatically open upon hitting something). that hurt a lot actually, and i was kind of happy that nobody around me spoke english because i probably said some things that would offend the casual english-speaking listener. haha. jordana and stuart laughed at me afterward.
today seems like it'll be a pretty chill day as well. i didn't do anything last night because i think i'm getting sick, but we'll see what happens. i probably should do some homework, but we'll see how much actually gets done! :)

I remember when I was in Japan me and two of my friends were in an elevator, and when one of my friends tried to get off the doors slammed and caught his backpack, and he was hurdled backwards, since he was moving away from it. It was pretty freaking hilarious.
