My roommate thought that I was writing an essay. I thought so as well.
During the last two weeks, I have:
- Taken a look at the flashiest shopping centre in my life. Twice. "Vegas" is HUGE. And colourful. And it has everything you can imagine - even an ice ring and a Ferris wheel! During our second visit, the electricity went down a few times because of a band performance. So it was my first time walking in a shopping centre with no lights or music or working cashiers :d
- Been exercising. My aim is to go there three times a week, but somehow it seems to keep in only two times... Fortunately, walking in Moscow's streets can be counted as some kind of p.e. ;)
- Conducted career planning. This includes looking for a job (maybe I am too early, if I want to get a job starting from January 2014) and changing my future study plans every day. Maybe I just think too much.
- Seen a few peformances for the international light festival "Cicle of Light" with some international students. We saw Moscow Manege (funny that English page is actually Russian!) and Bolshoi Theatre worn in cool light shows.
- Done a Russian language level test. I have not heard of my results yet, but I wish to get in Intermediate group.
- Taken my first exam in RANEPA. Only one more essay and I have also completed my first course in this school.
- Got familiar with the Russian customer service culture. Finnish customer servants are actually really nice. :)
- Seen the sun. The weather has now been way better in Moscow than before. However, the temperatures vary a lot, somewhere between 0°C and 14°C.
The following weekend is my second last without Saturday classes. I decided to take a couple of Master level courses after all since EP convinced us that they would not be hard. Let's hope so...
But I have another reason to look forward this weekend. My friend from Finland is coming to see me! Welcome to Moscow PK! <3

Not all the corridors there look like this though!

Bolshoi Theatre shows some example! I was trying to upload a video from Moscow Manege but this plan fell down to technical issues :(
