A Day in the Life of an English Teacher in Moscow

9 AM- Begin the wake-up process. Lunch isn't til 2 at the school, so you have to use your mornings wisely.
11 AM - Hop on the metro and explore Moscow, or take a day off and chill in the apartment.

1:50 PM- Walk through the woods on our way to school for 'Tatiana's Delight' (aka lunch)

1:55- Can't wait for Tatiana's delight!

1:55- Just remembered what we had yesterday for 'Tatiana's Delight' and begin having second thoughts
1:58- Apparently colorblindness is contagious (Jordan is colorblind) Kels realizes she left the apartment with brown pants, black shoes, and purple socks. . . . but we're in Moscow and no one cares
2:35- Gotta wash down Tatiana's Delight with an old fashioned chocolate-filled vanilla ice cream cone from the 5 Store (background.) Mmmmmm. Probably the second best thing about Moscow.

6:00- This is Gleb. If I were to hear the name Gleb for the first time this is exactly how I would have pictured the person with that name. We love Gleb.

7:15- Abandon all attempts at English teaching and resort to the game, "What Can We Balance on Gleb's Head."

9:00- Kels makes a delicious dinner and we crash for the night.

Well there you have it. The exciting day of an English Teacher in Moscow.

  4. I forgot Jord was color blind too! I remember Eckles pulled out a color blind test and asked who was color blind in the class and only Jordan and I raised our hands... Eckles whipped the color blind test on me... Joyous! Looks like you guys are having a blast over there though!
