This is a video that's actually part of a series that my cousin, Katie, and I have done (although to be honest, far more Katie than me). We based it off of another YouTubers' idea, the Vlogbrothers. The idea is just that we tried to send little videos back and forth, just about whatever we want to talk about. This is my most recent and like my first, just about a lot of the things going on here in Russia.

Because I haven't written in so long...
So I, when I decided to write this blog, had no idea just how hard it would be to keep up with it. As with every other school year, this one has definitely picked up pace with the beginning of the end of the year. We're coming into Spring quickly and, though Winter is making a determined attempt at sticking around (as the freezing wind and snow today can account to), the seasons are not slowing down for anyone. Even those of us who really want time to take a break and slow down for a little while!
My whole point being that I've been super busy. Bad excuse, I know, but I'm using it anyways.
What have I been busy with you may ask? Well, that would be with... not terribly interesting things, I'm afraid. I've gone full fledged into studying for the SATs, as well as reading more in Russian (found a couple of my favorite books in Russian!) and trying to pull myself back into shape in time to wear skirts. I will say that the cold weather and the walking a lot makes Russian diets consisting of a rediculous amount of starch and sugar not so bad, but the cold's warming up.
But I digress. I am trying to think of some other things that have happened to write here, but I can't think of a whole lot. I went to a Russian folk dance and music concert, which was amazing! (I put up pictures on my facebook) I am also determined to get my hands on a traditional Russian outfit--we'll see how that works out.
I think that's about it. I have put up pictures on facebook, but for anyone that doesn't have a facebook, I'll be sure to put pictures up here soon!
From Russia with Love,
Bettina
