Happy Holiday

Wednesday, November 4 2009
Today is a holiday in Russia that is why I am very happy today. According to my friends today’s holiday is in accordance to the day when Russia changed its name from Soviet Union to Russia Federation although I am not very sure about this.
I had a wonderful night the day before. As it was a holiday today, my group mates and I decided to have dinner together and on the menu was fried chicken, homemade shandy and salad. The dinner was awesome!
During our chat we spoke about the past, about the time when we just reached Russia for the first time. It was fun looking back and realize how much we have all changed and to think about all the stupid things we have done. It is really a wonder how much things have changed only in a short amount of time, as short as only 2 years. After dinner we chatted for quite a bit before lazily standing up to clear the plates and stuff.
About today, because it was a holiday I let myself sleep in without setting my alarm clock. But my biological didn’t allow me to sleep in and I ended up waking up around 6a.m. I had to watch movies to make myself fall asleep again.
But when I woke up, I had a serious headache. Despite having a headache I still whipped myself a breakfast that is good enough for a holiday morning. After that, my friend asked me if I still wanted her help to cut my hair as I asked her yesterday and am usually reluctant to cut my hair.
I did cut my hair and am proud to say that it does look good. I can’t express how much I really want to thank my friend for doing me a favor by giving my hair a trim.
Later in the evening I had volleyball training. During today’s training, I finally realized what was actually the correct way of setting the ball. It was a lot more easier than usual to set the ball this way. Also, during the training the captain said that there will be MY GAMES after 2 weeks. The news of the games was so sudden that it gave all the players a shock though I was also excited to hear about the games.
