Back from the Motherland!!!!!

Hey ya'll!!!! so yeah... I am back from the motherland...and HAVE been back for some time now. I have been back in the states since like the 17th of December, but I have been a bad blogger.. I know, I know. Bad Bree! lol! but anyways....my time in Russia was an absolute blast!!!!! At first, I must admit, was kinda hectic adjusting. I seriously had a lot of crap to go through when I first arrived which included 1) the airlines losing my luggage, 2) the craziness involved with drinking vodka every day, 3) boys, 4) almost getting arrested, 5) getting in lots of trouble with the dean of the university, 6) long soviet-style lines at grocery stores, 7) lack of privacy, 8) not being able to smile without people thinking I had a mental disability- the list goes on and on. seriously...the stories i could tell ya about what happened to me while I was in Russia were some pretty crazy ones. But i shall leave those for another time. I woulda written about em at the moment but that brings up another issue- the shitty internet connection I had in my super old, Soviet dorm room. I couldn't even upload pictures because it would take like 30 minutes for each to even load to my Facebook. But ANYways....yes, Russia was awesome and i loved it. I feel bad because I didn't blog at ALL while i was there. but honestly, i was too busy with school, being drunk, constantly getting lost, meeting crazy Russians, meeting awesome Russians, and of course...just LIVING. so i will just load some pics instead :)

While I was in Russia, I somehow had time- scratch that....i DIDNT have time, but i still managed to somehow meet a really cool guy by the name of Slava. That story of how i met him is another story in itself. But anyways...glad I met him because now we are in a relationship and have been in a long distance relationship since I have arrived back to the States in December.
     Anyways, I am excited because he is coming to L.A. to visit me in less than a month. After that visit, I will be returning to Russia for more of a long term stay. But I will talk about that later because right now it is too late and I am too tired to write anymore. But yes...I am one happy girl <3 :) <3
