Hey! Can you believe it? I'm in Charlottssville!!!
Yesterday I came here in the morning! We went to eat lunch in a very fancy bagel place where all college students have gatherings. It was very cozy and simple there.
Then we went to the UVA (University of Virginia). It is such a historical place. We took a tour there. It was all the idea of Thomas Jefferson. (I had my history test the other day and I passed advanced!! I was so glad, was afraif to fail be4)
We visited the room of Adgar Allan Poe (one of the dorm rooms) Some privilaged students live there. Can you imagine!? Live in college next door to where Poe used to live!!!
Then we went to Charlottesville's DownTown. Everything is pretty there, felt like Europe a lot. We didn't do any shopping, just walked.... We might go there later!)
Then I finally came to Cajsa's house. It's huge! Well, it's a lot bigger then the house of my host family. Her room is very nice and big too. Then 1 hour later her birthday party got started. There were about 9 of girls. All very nice.. We were eating and talking, watching movies. Then we stated up till 5 in the morning, but I had a nap during Transformers! Wow! We were talking till 5!
Breakfast was very facncy! Pancakes, becon, souseges, freanchtousts, fruit salad, orange juice.... Mmmm....
So.. here I am! I'm staying here till Monday evening! )))
Feels great! I'll keep you posted!

Today FINALLY I got some snow here!!!!
I feel happy!
It remains me of real winter.
Snow is something magical. It's been always like this for me.
When everything is white, shiny, glittering and sparkling everywhere you can feel like you live in the fantasy! In the fairytale!
Here at school everyone is excited about snow a lot. But not because it's beautiful - because you get out of school early or school can be cancelled.
Adults hate it coz there are many acsidents when there is snow on the roads. Today there was 50 acsidents in my area. So they actually have a reason, because they woory about their kids.
Here are some pictures of FTS (famous today's snow). =D

Yesterday he sent me some pictures: some of them were taken a while ago... and some a few months ago.
So I'm adding one to my photoalbum. Isn't he cute?
The beginning of the email with pictures was "Hey babe =D". I jumped when I saw it!))))))))) After was smiling for likehalf an hour. =)
I'm so happy wen we are together. If I worry about something - we talk and I feel better. He always tells me "Happy thoughts, happy thoughts!" and I say "that's why I like you". He helps me a lot, he is full of positivity, and when he's tired or upset I make him laugh! =) Today in the morning we talked about stuff..... and I really felt better.
He walked me to the activity I had after school (my FBLA club had a Bingo social) He said "Tell me if you'll need anything" I said "You" =)
He has track practice every day after school...... That's too bad.

PS: watched "save the last dance" the other day.

I was sitting and doing a practice toefl test for hours on saturday night... not ery impressing.
M called me and i took a break from studying.
It was nice to hear a few things he told me.
* I just whated to hear how are u doing
* whanted to make sure u r alright
* Just wanted to hear your voice (this is so sweet)
This is quite surprising because he is deffinetly a "romantic type". Not at all. What can love do with our hearts?! HAHA it was a joke =)
I was telling him how excited I an about going to Charlottsville and that I am talking a bus. I said NO! It is not save! I'll give you a ride and stuff like this.
Well, he is from Boston, and buses there are quite dangerous... But is's so sweet that he cares. He said I don't want u to be in the bus with crazy people... bla bla bla
he wants to give me a ride, but it's 2,5 hours of driving for me and 5 for him (coz he's driving back) He said at least i'm gonna spend 2,5 hours with u.
Well, he probably won't be allowed to drive that far away.
It's nice... *smiling while remember how he was trying to pretect me from rain with his sweter, coz "my hair was all pretty". It was so cute!*

PS There is always something nice out there in real life, so don't spend all af your time dreamild of a prince and the great love

PPS I'm not saying that my love is great. No! nobody's perfect.

Before he said goodbye he told be love ya in this funny different diffident tone. =)
And we do this super cute thing arguing who will hang up the phone first. We're not crazy in love so we don't spend hours arguing about who will say bye first.
Anyway I find it kind of cute.

well,

listening to the song by Kelly Clarcson.... The phrase

"So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been"

goes good with my situation.
So, today was M's and mine 3 months anniversary. I can't believe it's been that long. A lot of things had happened. Good and bad. I'm glad we're still together. He's my boyfriend... yes.. but he's been always my friend first. We can talk about everything. I don't know... everything... Like Ashlyn.
The whole new story about her - she liked him before I came, she asked him out, he didn't go, he liked other girl from our school... But this girl had a boyfriend, now this girl doesn't have a boyfriend anymore and flirts with him, cry, call him, follow us and etc, coz she broke up with her boyfriend and in love with M now! This sounds really like a TV show! So, M the other day came to my house and told me the whole story, because he've seen this crazy girl following us in the hallway and he got scared that she could've said somthing to me or do something to me. WOW! He was looking so cute while telling me the story.
Seems like a lot of people like him... he's attractive and doing a lot of sports!))))))
Well, maybe thats why Ashlyn is like this with me sometimes....

PS: the original lyrics of the song:
"You Found Me"

Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I've become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it's like
When everything's right
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

And I was hiding
'Til you came along
And showed me where I belong
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know?
How did you know?

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me

(You found me)
(When no one else was lookin')
You found me
(How did you know just where I would be?)
You broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad
And the things in between
You found me
You found me

Ok... He found me. This is my longest relationship... hm...
We called our day a Doughnut Day! Coz he gave me a box of doughnuts =) and I drew him a card with a doughnut on it... It's been nice.

Something new about me.
I get mad at him easely when he says that call be back in 10 minutes and calling in 15...and stuff like this. Why am i such a perfectionist? Can't I just be happy? I guess not. Well, maybe.
He's trying hard to do everything for me - giving me a ride, calling me, meeting me at school every morning early, meeting me after school, taking me out to get some fun.. I can go on and on!
He's been telling me what a great girlfriend I am.. And? What am I doing? Nothing! Nothing... just enjoying his attention.. What am I supposed to do?
He whats to do whatever I want to, we never argue about what to watch on tv, he makes me laught and makes me forget about sad things, just for couple seconds, but anyway it works!

С Новым Годом меня ХD

I got mice and watch! And a cute little thing from my best friends!!!!

Also she sent me a cd with a lot of Pictures of her, my other school friends, our city and different places in russia that she's been to. Some of them from my birthday in 9th grade, I remember I forgot my camera that day and she promised to give me these pictures later.
It's so nice.......... makes me smile.
I'll place some of the pictures in my photoalbom.

See!!!! Somebody loves me!!!
Smiling in this picture... but eyes seem sad. Wonder why)

Привет Папулик!
Простите что так долго не писала, я пыталась, правда=)
Вот сейчас уже и поздно, но спать что-то не хочетсяю Лежу думаю о вас. Я конечно скучаю, но не так невыносимо. Улыбаюсь, когда думаю о вас. Решила вот поделиться с тобой мыслью, которая ко мне сегодня пришла. Я и раньше так думала, просто сегодня я об этом Вспомнила!
Ходили в магазин, я купила себе книгу на английском, буду читать. Она из той серии, мама знает наверное, Волшебные штаны, про дружбу 4х девочек. Это 4я книга, три первые я прочла до этого, еще когда дома была. Использовала карточку, которую мне одруга на день рож. подарила - это как купон, который можно использовать вместо определенной суммы денег. И мне прешла в голову мысль, что я счастлива. Обслютно! На все 100%! И у меня все есть. Я конечно бы не отказалась увидеть вас прямо сейчас! Но это за пределами возможного, конечно.
Я знаю, что вы за меня переживаете, это хорошо, но только не надо за меня слишком переживать. Моих хостов я обожаю, думаю, что мне с ними очень повезло. Конечно постоянно себе говорю, что дело не во мне когда Эшлин не очень приветлива со мной, она просто такая сама по себе.
Сегодня Роберт сказал как они мной гордятся, и какая я молодец. Разговаривали о многом.Обсуждали мою анкету и вопросы на которые я отвечала. И тот самый главный вопрос о том как я реагирую и как веду себя при споре и конфликте. Он сказал, что самый большой конфликт который у нас был - тогда когда я начала заболевать, но еще и не заболела. Меня друзья пригласили пойти кудато вместе, по магазинам а потом в кино. Я спросила у него можно ли мне пойти, а он сказал что мне лучше дома остаться и выздоровить пока я окончательно не заболела. Он видел как сильно я была разочарована, я оченьхотела пойти... Но я сказала - ты прав. Вот и все. Сейчас вспоминаю и улыбаюсь, кажется я повзрослела очень.
Вобщем, они замечательные, Рождество было волшебное! Вся атмосфера! И носки на камине с подарками, и подарки под елкой и конфеты, и пироги, и печеньки. Вобщем как в фильмах у американцев роджество. Подарки мне подарили, все перечислять не буду, но главный подарок был теннисная ракетка и мячи, чтобы я могла тренироваться. Познакомилась с Бабушкой и дедушкой Барбары. Мои хост бабушка и дедушка тоже приходили. Все дарили мне подарки, ну и не только мне, конечно. Почувствовала себя частью семьи. Сначала, чувствовала себя неудобно из-за стольких подарков и внимания, но потом Мэган мне сказала, что они все это делаю,потому что хотят чтобы я себя чувствовала как в семье.
Так что когда мне грустно или я чем-то растроена я думаю о хорошем.. Думала о доме. Как-то я позабыла как там все внутри. Попроси чтобы Лизочек мне карту дома нарисовала, она это может, я знаю. Соскучилась по ней! Очень. Она у меня самая замечательная на всем белом свете! Самая незаменимая! Надеюсь что она по мне также скучает как и я по ней! Я вот думаю, что ей наверное тяжело. Весь этот год она уже стала достаточно взрослой, так что с ней можно было разговаривать о серьезных вещах, при этом обясняя все что ей не понятно. Мне очень нехватает этих разговоров. Разговоров обо всем на свете.
В апреле я думаю будет возможность поехать в НьюЙорк на один день, но весь день экскурсии и Бродвей, статуя свободы, таймсквер и все такое. Поездка вместе с Бизнесс кружком. Стоит $140, я подумала что это хорошая идея использовать деньги которые мне подарили на день рожденье. Надо такой шанс использовать. Робер планирует поездку в Вашинктон с экскурсиями и все такое. Барбара достала билеты в Вашингтон монумент, Роберт собирается достать пропуск в белый дом, в то крыло что не для туристов, но это не точно. Вот так вот.
Я вас очень очень люблю!
Не знаю что о чем еще написать. Пап, есл хочешь маме письмо показать, ты его можешь распечатать! *подмигиваю*
Поцелуй ее за меня! И Лизочку!

Так что вот думаю о вас и улыбаюсь)))))))))
Надеюсь что у вас все хоршо!

Today was quite a nice day. I had fun and spent the whole day with Meaghan and her 9years old brother Kody. We went to the movie theatre, but it was sold out, they didn't have anymore. So we went back to Meaghan's house to watch movies. Watched a really sad and cute movie A little princess, I liked it a lot, I even cryed a little. I don't let myself cry, but a movie is a different thing.

Wear my new scarf all day today! I got it for Christmas...)
