Don't get use to this...

I will not be posting everyday, but since I had my first class today and I met with the man who will be my supervisor at the Tretyakov I figured I should post about it.
My First class was very interesting. It was four hours long with a 20 minute break from 12:20 to 12:40. My teacher's name is Anna Leopoldovna. She is very nice and although it's a little frustrating that she doesn't speak english at all (she knows a few words here and there) I kind of like the fact that I'm completely submersed in the language and forced to use all of my knowledge to answer a question only half right. I don't think I did badly. She excellent after a few of my answers which made me feel good. I guess we'll as time progresses. I have classes everyday for 4 hours. One would think my Russian would be much better by the time I leave. Time will only tell.
My meeting at the Tretyakov went well. Everyone I met was very nice, especially the man who met me at the enterence. He spoke very little english but I knew enough Russian to understand most of what he was saying. He took me through a couple of the galleries and even though we barely understood each other you could tell that we both were completely happy walking around the museum silent, staring at these priceless works of Russian art. He's going to have me translate Russian to English for their website and most of it I can do from my dorm room which is nice. I think I might actually go to the museum once a week as my classes make it difficult to be there very often since they are in the middle of the day really. I'll get a museum pass with my picture on it and everything. The cool thing about that is that the pass allows me to get into every museum in Moscow for FREE! Museums of Moscow here I come!
