A Typical Russian Afternoon

Okay... this is becoming pretty routine. Class was the same, meals were the same, blah, blah, blah...

Oh, actually, we had that political science class again today. After class I went t0 check email and wrote back to everyone. Then I came back upstairs to take a tap (so did Katherine) because we were both exhausted. I couldn't really fall asleep though, so I started to read Crime and Punishment.

A few hours later, I woke Katherine up and we went down for dinner.

After dinner, the whole group headed to the trolley bus to see "Petersburg Mosaic." It was at some old palace on Nevsky, right off Ploschad Vostania. I'm not really that into dance, so I didn't love it, but it was fun. They changed costumes every two minutes and had these huge smiles and there was a disco ball going that was kind of funny. They even did one dance to Hava Negilah. There was some weird Russian traditional singer too.

After the show, everyone (except Blakeslee) decided to go to "Molly's Irish Pub" which was nearby. On the way, Katherine wanted to stop to get cigarettes, so I went with her and then we had trouble finding the bar. We eventually got there, though.

The bartenders all spoke English and were very cute. We stayed there for hours and hours debating the death penalty and our criminal reform system. It was fun.

Finally, to make the bridge closing at 2:00 Am, we all took a taxi back at around 1:00 AM.
