Today was my first day of school and my first Russian party so this will be a long post.

Russian school is very chaotic. Kids ages 8-18 study in the same building.  Everybody is screaming and yelling and trying to get to their class.  The students all stand up when a teacher or adult enters the room. They are respuectful of their teachers but halfway into the class they are just like any other group of people doing something thay don't really want to do.  Russian schools must be doing something right  because the 16 year olds are doing advanced algebra and trigonometry. English class s very advanced. The students are not billingual but they are nearly proficient in english.

Russians punch each other a lot. Nobody seems to mind getting punched in the face...hard.

Whenever a teacher enters the room all of the students stand up abruptly.

The Russian party was very fun. It was an extended family party as most Russian parties are.  They accepted me right away as a part of their family. I have heard that Russians can be very loving people and I didn't belive it, but after attending a Russian party I am sure it is true. 

Sorry if my english sounds wierd, I am doing my best to forget it.
