who said 'i dont like mondays'

I am getting worse and worse in terms of keeping you up to date with the latest news from st petersburg but today as an excuse i am using a fact that the city, the course and the people are so engaging that its actually  better to put the writing off for a while in order to take as much as possible from what this place really has to offer...

according to the song noone likes mondays so ill try to make it as brief as possible even though a lot happened...
monday was a 'D-day' ( a day of the first classes) Im in a group with Aafke, a lovely Dutch girl who also happened to be my roommate ( the merrier the better) at first we both were pretty stressed because noone knew what to expect, but only after a few minutes all the worries disappeared alongside the stereotype of nonsmiling russians,which i mentioned before
 all the teachers seem to be as cheerful, energetic and enthusiastic as one can only imagine, as well as really professional and whats most important very very patient!!! its a valuable virtue because if you have to deal with such a moron as i am you need to be preapred for every eventuality, After 4 hours of classes that not to exagerate were extremely intensive (plus loads of homework for a next day) and gave me more than half  a year of my  russian classes in england , we all went to the city to register....
yes yes yes, if you are not a big fun of russian police and extradition you'd better register..the registration was a good excuse once again to see the life of the city... which is thriving till the late hours...
finally, we came back home quite late and tired but it didnt prevent us from sitting the homework till 1 am ( even though the first impression is the most important i hope i will be that hard-working till the end of the course)... finito for monday and 1 am already starts my tuesday post

ps. this time no photos, don't blame me blame the battery
