Two weeks down.  

I am feeling settled and adjusted (as much as two weeks will allow).
I love it here.  I love the cold, brisk air.  

Life is crazy isn't it.  If you would have asked me six months ago where I would 
be in only a few short months from then, I wouldn't have dreamed 
of this. ever.  

I thought it would be so intimidating... being a new place, knowing no one, knowing very
little about the place, the people, the culture.  and it was at first.  it took getting
my eating and sleeping patterns to a somewhat normal schedule 
before I really saw the crazy exciting opportunity that lays before me. 

This isn't just an adventure in Russia.  This is feeling a whole lot like 
a new chapter.  I am so excited to learn.  

wish me luck...
