Other Signs of Summer. Sochi 2011 →. May 28, 2011. Thursday was my last official day of teaching. I am no longer an official native-speaker/English-teaching-assistant! Some of the other teachers and acquaintances have been asking me what I’m planning to do next. Well, I’m starting my Master’s in Russian Studies in August (at my alma mater’s rival university! 8221; To which I kind of laugh and say, “no…”. I’ve also grown to appreciate the American style class discussion, and realize to what extent i...

Monthly Archives: April 2011. Let’s Get Rambling. April 25, 2011. Yesterday was Easter. All of you at home are thinking “Duh Molly! 8221; But this year Orthodox and (what is the correct adjective here – “normal” / “regular”) Catholic/Protestant Easter were on the same day! It’s crazy. In honor of Easter I did some Easter egg dying on Friday night with my friends. I hope not. Clearly I am only built for temperate climates. April 22, 2011. It was rad. We had a really nice time, both doing fun things in...

The Beginning | the temporary sky
https://molllyperkins.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/the-beginning
The Science of Departure. September 7, 2011. It’s been more than two months since I’ve been back in the U.S., and already some of my other Russia ETAs have returned for round two. I’ve moved from California to Cambridge, and am in my second week at my master’s program. I meant to write this post a long time ago, but time slips by, so better now than never. One last thing, before I end this (my 100th post! The Unbearable Lightness of Being. 8220;Being in a foreign country means walking a tightrope high ab...

Monthly Archives: November 2010. Whether the weather be cold. November 30, 2010. So, I think that winter has finally arrived (about a month late according to most people). After Saturday’s snow, it kept on getting colder, and then today it started snowing in the afternoon and it’s still snowing now. And don’t I feel proud of myself that I found some boots just this afternoon! November 28, 2010. This is what I woke up to on Saturday – it had snowed and it was snowing! When shall we three meet again. I did...

Superfluous | the temporary sky

And now the time has grown so short. →. June 11, 2011. Now, 10 months later, I am up to my ears in things that the manual told me I would really need! But that I haven’t used. In case anyone was wondering, Russia is just a normal place where you can purchase really ordinary everyday things instead of schlepping them from the States and not using them for 10 months. In retrospect some of these things are really funny. Here are some highlights:. 8211; Stickers. That was actually a good idea, my student...

Pictures from Sochi | the temporary sky
https://molllyperkins.wordpress.com/2011/06/09/pictures-from-sochi
June 9, 2011. This is the official countdown to the Olympic Games 2014. It’s hard to see but I think it’s at 983 days here. My friend said they had a huge party when it was 1000 days. It’s right by the Maritime Terminal, which is basically the sea port that has boats going to exciting places like Turkey. Notice the fountain and my clown feet. Stunning view from the top – can’t you see the Black Sea? This entry was posted in Uncategorized. 2 responses to “ Pictures from Sochi. June 9, 2011 at 4:19 pm.
