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...

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).

When shall we three meet again. I did...

http://crmcgregor.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Saturday, March 17, 2012. Thoughts on the DR). So it's literally been months since I've sat down and done some blogging. I've been living in the DR now for almost 9 months (crazy right? And there some crazy observations that need to be made, at least in comparison to Russia. As you'll see, this post lends itself to a StuffDominicansLike type of post I did with Russia and I'll most likely be starting that here in the next few weeks, but for the moment, here goes!

Siberia’s Seven-Hour Balzac Book Club | They sent me to Siberia!
https://senttosiberia.wordpress.com/2011/04/13/balzac-book-club
They sent me to Siberia! My blog does not reflect the opinions of the Fulbright program or the U.S. Department of State. Just in case you were wondering. The Big Thaw →. Siberia’s Seven-Hour Balzac Book Club. Which she moderates with another TSU English teacher, Sasha.) To clarify, it wasn’t the book club invitation itself that surprised me; it was the fact that the topic up for discussion was the complete works of Honoré de Balzac! However, I rather like the fact that Russian hosts and hostesses donR...

http://crmcgregor.blogspot.com/2012/11/dominican-republic-bad-metro.html
The Tales of a Scotsman True.in the DR! Sunday, November 11, 2012. Dominican Republic - The Bad: The Metro. A couple weeks ago, I posted the 'bad' of the Dominican Republic, but I forgot one item that makes me extremely angry and needs to be addressed - the metro here in Santo Domingo. The metro here in the city is nice. It's clean, well policed and safe and despite there being only one line only going over a small portion of the city, there are problems with it. I can't handle it. These two things can s...
