It's getting cold!

Hi....
So its getting cold here, but at the moment, its really nice and crisp and makes you feel refreshed! The weeks seem to fly by because we are pretty busy in the day with lessons and then in the evening we are either going to meet someone, doing something cultural or doing homework! Eva and I had our first theatre experience this week. We went with a friend who is an actor so were able to get in free. However, that is where the good news ends really. I got the general gist of the play but that was pretty much it! There were only three actors on stage doing monologues, so after a while of not understanding, I started to nod off a little! So in the end we left half way through because neither of us were understanding anything and our friend thought it was awful as well! We tried to watch Master and Margarita the other night, but all the tickets were sold out which was a shame. The new plan now is to watch it on the 27th.
The main news of this week is that Eva and I have been looking for flats to rents, or rooms in a flat. We want to move not only because of the crazy babushka, but also because it is so far away from everything and Eva won’t be able to afford to pay to stay here for the whole 4 months. Its really funny, every time we tell any Russians that we are living with a babushka they think were crazy! So our flat hunting hasn’t been a major success as of yet, though there is a great website for expats which has loads of rooms available. We went to see one the other day and it was lovely, though she wanted us to move in straight away which was no good because we have already paid until mid October. But I’m sure we will find somewhere!
We went out last night to a party of a friend of a friend of Eva and it was really good actually. A lot of the people there were really interesting, one of them was a Philippino diplomat, another was writing a book which he hoped to turn into a screenplay and loads of people from all over the world! So I had a great time networking and talking about films! After the party we went on to a club and they had brilliant music, lots of jewish and folk music and lots of foot stamping, clapping and spinning around!
I’m starting to get more confident with the language and have remembered a lot of things already. Though it is still really frustrating and a lot of time I find myself being really quiet and listen to other people talk! But with practice I will be fine!
Anyway... will keep you updated!
Lots of love to you all and missing you loads!
