Until I land back in Texas!! I'm excited to see all my friends and family again , but I will definitely miss my Russian life I have developed over here.
So Wednesday night we went to the ballet Romeo and Juliet at Novaya Opera. Afterward we had discussions about whether we preferred it to Swan Lake or vice versa. While Swan Lake's traditional and classic aspects are beautiful, I think Romeo and Juliet won my heart with its more theatrical elements and of course ultimate love tragedy.
Yesterday we had class then went to the Mayakovsky Museum. He was a futurist modern artist during soviet times. Although the museum was unique and interesting I'm not sure I've developed much appreciation for modern art!! After that we headed to the Arbat where we ate sbarro's for dinner and got ice cream!
Today we don't have any excursions planned so I will probably take a nap then go out for dinner or something. My tests went well and tomorrow we get to go back to Izmailovsky and to Lenin's tomb.

ReplyDeletelook up the black square by Malevich, we spent a whole class discussing its significance, then if you still are into it look up white on white by malevich.
