The Pit of Despair

If you've seen or read The Princess Bride, then you know of 'The Pit of Despair'. It is a terrible, secret place that people go to get tortured. I have now dubbed the 'pave-over-ice' road, the Pit of Despair.

Things I found in The Pit of Despair today:Two shoes (not a pair) a bath for babies, and a bird.

What A Day

I went to school today to find out all my classes have been cancelled. At first I was ecstatic and then I realized... I have nothing else to do. At all. So how have I occupied my Thursday? I have dusted my entire flat, I've scrubbed my toilet, washed my duvet, shoveled my balcony, cleaned my refrigerator, learned some new Russian words and practiced some of my Ukrainian grammar. I have two more hours until German club... which lasts forty five minutes. So... I think I will teach myself French. I'll keep you posted on how that's going... but on the bright side, a surprise visit from my landlady today included many compliments of how Ukrainian I'm becoming, although I fear that might just mean I shower less and have gained weight...

Oh and, spring not coming fast enough for you? This should help:
