Ten Months as a Fulbright ETA in Ukhta, Komi Republic, Russia. May 29, 2012. The beginning of the end. Will we all stay in touch? That’s kind of how I feel now. Everything is going to change so quickly, and whether or not I want it to, I have to go with it. 8221; So I brought my street cred to the streets of Ukhta, and the crowd went wild. Once pictures (and videos) are up, I will most definitely post them. Http:/ www.ugtu.net/video/5552. Russian high school graduation. Next post →. Do Svidaniya, Mama!

For some reason, I have not been able to access my blog since I returned from Siberia — until now! That’s right, I was in Siberia! Many many posts are forthcoming about the train, the repeated shattering of my expectations in Kyzyl, the Access camp where I taught, and my reaction to the White Nights of Arkhangelsk upon my return (it wasn’t good)! Exhibit C: On Monday, I we...

Stories from the South Urals: May 2012

http://chelyabinskteaching.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Stories from the South Urals. It's not what you think.). Sunday, May 20, 2012. One of the reasons for this decoration was that Chelyabinsk just hosted the All-European Judo Championship, and of course, hosted a LOT of foreigners. Some of my students had the opportunity to volunteer at the hotels where the athletes were staying, and I heard many stories about how good looking they were. From what I hear, both Russia and Georgia performed well in the matches. Just another day in Chelyabinsk. Last Saturday,...

http://chelyabinskteaching.blogspot.com/2012/03/guilty.html

Stories from the South Urals. It's not what you think.). Sunday, March 11, 2012. The thing is, there just isn't any news. Well, not really. Since the last blog (about Kyrgyzstan), there haven't really been adventures. After returning from Kazan, I was so tired of traveling, that when I finally reached my apartment, I did not go out for three days. Running in the park, yes, but in no way did I want to ехать. Oh yes, here is news, SAD news. Volodya moved to St. Petersburg! With another friend named Olga an...
