Hello all! I want you all to know I am posting this at the request of Nanners who said Danny does too much of the posting. This is true but it is also my fault, mainly because I hate typing on this computer (I think that my fingers are too fat). This is the one time I wish I had Danny's pointy princess fingers. Case in point, I'm already super frustrated at this thing, and I'm sure it will erase my writing in a moment. Anyways, we had our site placement interviews yesterday and, no worries, Danny and I will be placed together in our own apartment most likely. Hooray! I believe that we were offered a site in Crimea (a.k.a. paradise) but it was a site in a huge city. I think Danny and I would prefer a medium-sized town where we can form community bonds a little easier. Plus our interviewer said that she has a place in mind that will be a great fit which is great.
Many of our fellow trainees have expressed extreme disbelief that we wouldn't jump at the chance to be in Crimea but oh well. It's hard to believe that we're only a couple weeks away from our placement. I'm extremely excited but I hope that I can improve my Russian a great deal more soon. On that note, the Russian word for brother is brat (braht); chew on that Jon. Ooh burned from Ukraine! Let's see, I've learned how to knit, though, I usually don't have time to. Mama Maria has knitted the bulk of my scarf so far. Also, Danny created a shoe-valanche today at the bazaar which was super funny. Danny apologizing in English to a very annoyed prodavierts while he picked up random shoes.
Anyway, if anyone wants to Skype send me an e-mail at shannon.anderson0@gmail.com and I'll try to set it up (at the very least at site). And one final point, if anyone corrects my grammar or spelling on this stupid thing, I'll laser beam you from Ukraine.
