So far...

So far everything is good. All the classes are fine. Last Thursdat, by the way, I had three classes in the Hermitage. It was amayzing. Maybe a little tireing - standing and writing for five hours straight.

 

(that is a part of Zimnij Dvorez of Hermitage)

 

(making my way home, walking near university)

The weather was amazing as well for a long time - not typical for St.Pete's. 

And then yeasterday I got cought by the tricky weather. Didn't have my umbrella with me, since the weather forecast said - there won't be any rain... Well let me tell you - they were right - it weren't no rain... It was a waterfall in the middle of the streets of St. Pete's. I stood for 20 minutes under a tent roof of ice-creame vendor because it was insane! I've never seen such rain - I am not joking. Besides, there's marble under your feet in St.P everywhere! The water just flows like a river everywhere - I mean there is puddle everywhere!

Anyway,  after 20 mins I was wet anyway - a lot of people tried to take refuge under the tent roof... I was tired, I knew that there was a 2-hour road to get home, so I put my scarf on my head and stepped out. Even my trench coat didn't save me, but even as I am writing it all up I don't feel any bitterness or regrett... It's just rain and no umbrella. And I will remember walking down Nevskij Prospect surrounded by water to get to the subway station to go to the dorms from The Saint-Petersburg State University!

P.S. - someone from the royalty came to the university with a visit recently...
