3 sitting ducks

Before you read! Scroll down and click play on the video. This is the kind of post that needs background music. 

Is it playing? Ok, you are free to proceed. 

Today was the very last day of teaching, minus the spectacle tomorrow, but no teaching required there. It still has not hit me yet. Hmm. Oh well. 
Today I saw a shirtless man, that really should NOT have been shirtless..and wearing short shorts.. He couldn't really have been wearing less. EXCEPT he made sure to put on long black socks with his sandals. Way to go mister green shorts. 

I am going to dedicate the remainder of this post to an object that cost less than $1 but is filled with a lifetime of laughs. This is the best souvenir that anyone could have ever bought. Super Pooper. Two words, so much meaning, especially when you have little old Ukrainian men trying to sell you them. 

I am hoping to find one of my very own tomorrow. 

Two things that remind me of my best friend. Super Pooper and Noah & the Whale. 



Enjoy:]

Japan and their weird cultural habits are keeping me grounded.

t-5 a sweet disposition

There are so many Americans! I've never seen so many Americans in my life! Guard your bags..
St. Andrews has never been so crowded. But for one lass horray, it was worth it. I wanted a t shirt, but who wants to buy a t shirt in Ukraine that is in english. NOT ME! I got some super cool stuff though. 
Cherry vereniki is best in air conditioned pzahta hatas:]
"Lets be tourists".. says Kaitlin...Why not..
Somehow, our artist drawer man decided that I have bucked teeth. This is what I get for letting my american show.


Ice cream is way too good here. 
"Can we go run around the corner and cry??" Yes. 
What kind of drunk would YOU be??


Britney, what will make you feel better?- Natalie
Dumping this bottle of water on Derricks head.-Britney

Sometimes I lose my patience.
Sometimes I get ahead of myself. 
Sometimes I feel pretty dumb. 

Sometimes I eat manna for breakfast..ok like every day.
and sometimes Savage Garden can express my feelings better than I can. Hello 90's childhood.

I didn't make it to Andrivski this morning. Boo Kaitlin and your lack of inventory;]
I need to study for my test. 
I need to finish music and slideshow for spectacle.
Its 11am. 
I'm still laying in bed, yet have so much to do. 
I wonder if all of my stuff will fit in my suitcases.
I really hope that iceland does not blow up and I get stuck in Germany. 
Then again, Germany might be a party. 

My phone has still not showed up. hmm.

This is me trying not to think. My brain is temporarily out of service- too many emotions to file.. caution- meltdowns ahead. 

I have said too much, I am afraid. 


Kaitlin, can I quote you too? X10..minus the babushka.



Hold Your Own. Know Your Name. Go Your Own Way. 
Everything will be fine.

It's about 7.30pm. The next 4 hours are devoted to the Japanese and their mysterious ways of Pre- funeral planning. Why is everything assigned for this class have something to do with Japan?
