I'm here!

Well, I've been in Moscow since 10:30 this morning (Moscow time) and so far it's been quite an adventure. Absolutely NO one understands what I'm trying to say and my Russian isn't quite good enough to communicate everything needs. My bedroom isn't all that bad but the matress isn't all that comfortable and my sink spits water at me everytime I turn it on. The shower looks like there's mold growing on it (I checked and there isn't but it still LOOKS like it) and the girls here dress so nicely they'd put my cousin Stephanie to shame. I'm not quite sure what I got myself into but I'm hoping this turns out to be everything I dreamed it would. I've waited my whole life to be out on my own in a foriegn country; let's hope I don't screw it up.
