Russian lesson...

-
Man, learning Russian is tough. I even dreamed in Russian last night, the 3 hours I slept that is. (I am not skipping my sleeping pill tonight!)

Learning the Cyrillic alphabet is soo hard and I just haven't made it the priority I should. I may not learn any spoken Russian at the end of the 8 week class but I will be able to read it and sound out words, that is for sure!!

I hope those little orphans appreciate it, 'cause I know they sure aren't learning English for me.

So I go to church for hours and then have just enough time to go home, eat, change clothes and then head to Russian each Sunday. Truly a brain frying time for me....I even fell asleep in class this weekend, and with only 3 of us in the class it was pretty obvious.

Normally I rock at foreign languages so it is funny to be the horrible one. Oh well, I still get to go to Russia no matter what my language ability is. I'll just have to get really good at pantomime! hahahahaha.

The housekeeper said today I look like a gangster or mafioso. Do you agree? So I posted on FB a picture of my agility ladder and talked about how I use it for training for shooting. Most people kind of questioned it or dismissed it outright. Then I see a famous person posts a video of him today on FB using one and everyone thinks it's a great new idea. This actually makes me kinda angry. I don't like being dismissed or marginalized because my thoughts and ideas come from me, and not from someone "famous". Cause you know what, he isn't any better or smarter than I am. In any way. And just like MM93 grew up to take down VR46 I'm gonna do the same to all those who are at the top right now. Everyone is gonna know it and see it. Then there will be no doubting.
