Spring Break and NYC Preparation

Finally! Spring Break is here, and with it Snow...again.I think I jinxed myself with this whole spring thing, there's a good 4-6 of snow on the ground outside. I hope and pray it's the last of it! I'm kind of finished with winter, especially my experience with Russia's.

 I went again to the 3 book stores that I have knowledge of, and searched through the insurmountable amount of events, people and stories. Fed my mind and soul with its unending fantasies, books. I purchased with what little money I had, The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien. The English language is such a comfort to me, and seeing it anywhere excites me, a bit of familiarity. And of course, Middle Earth is such an in depth story, so I will be returning soon to purchase The Lord of the Rings.

 I'm hard at work preparing for NYC, checking my flight information, packing, scheduling, checking and stressing. Of course, a bit of stress is good before a competition! It will be a lot easier this year, as I have gone before and know how to do everything. I'm also much more comfortable with international traveling and public transportation, although, believe it or not I personally think that the Moscow Metro is more organized and clean then the NYC Metro. Just Putining it out there! (Pun intended.)

 I'm all alone in my dorm room for the next few days, Kaito has returned to Japan and Janos is out and about with his parents. At least I'm not in the snow! Ah, I love spring break.

Kaito's last day.

Kaito, my good friend and ex-roommate has just left for Japan. We have the high scores on all of our video games thanks to him. It was nice to meet him, and if I ever go to Japan he'll be the first person I contact. Bye Kaito! さようなら！
