This has been quite a week for Tardifs, Taylors, Semedos, Varones alike. My best friend got promoted to sergeant, my sister moved into her first flat (apartment), my cousins Jess and Josh went to their Senior and Junior proms (Jessie is graduating from high school this weekend, congrats, cuz!!!! Can't wait to see you at your PARTAY!!! :D), I finished my first draft of my thesis after months of agonizing research, writing forever and hoping for more than a little divine inspiration. My cousin Kristina is getting married, my cousin Gillian is graduating from college, wow. YAY everyone! On top of that, my best friend Maureen was featured in a interview, woo hoo! My friends Alexa and Bob have set a date for their wedding, as I have alluded to in a previous post, my friends Michael and Irina are getting married, supposedly in Russia, which would give me a superlative reason to return to the Motherland. So many props and shout-outs to make! Will be spreading them out over the next couple of weeks so be prepared! :)
On a serious note, I'm asking in advance for help in moving out. I need to arrive by Domodedovo no later than 3 p.m. on June 20 (Sunday) for a 5:15 flight to London (B.A.) If anyone can and wants to help me move my luggage from my flat (Leninsky Prospekt, Dom 81, kvartira 122, pod'ezd 5) to Domodedovo. If nothing else, I'd be very grateful for the company on the way to the airport, as well as your steadfast generosity with your time. If not, I can totally manage on my own, but would love to see anyone who has the time and desire to wish me off as I leave Russia for the third (and maybe final) time. Do let me know if you can help or knows someone who can help. I've got two suitcases and two carry-ons. Thank you very much in advance! :)
Now that the thesis is (mercifully!!!!) finished, I can concentrate on studying for my truly dreadful linguistics exam. I'm sure I won't fail, but I'm still quite worried. Lots of questions to study, plus it's an oral final, as it customary in Russia. Eeek. I just want it to be done. It will be on Wednesday, all that remains after that is a short paper for my music history class. After that, some bowling to celebrate my academic and other successes, but mainly, time spent with the best friends a guy could ask for. Thanks for making the last year and a half incredible for me. I will never forget your kindness ,your crazy stories about me, all the good times. Forget the bad, remember the good, that's what I say. YYL. :))))
Gonna keep this blog short today, feeling a little tired, tomorrow Fr. Simon's gonna send me off proper, as he won't be in church the following Sunday, which will be my last Sunday at St. Andrew's...never gonna forget all the Sundays singing children's hymns multiple times, the time I was asked to play piano with less than 10 minutes to go before the start of the service, and of course all the Tuesday and Saturday MIC rehearsals and concerts. Better if I will be beautiful...and TELL THE STORY!!!! :D
Moscow, I will never forget you...and yes, as Fr. Simon rightfully will say, I will return one day...thank you all and God bless.
