Recap: d

Forgot to mention the other day, when my bio professor pretended to be a chiton for a few moments to demonstrate to us why the chiton's self-defense reaction isn't particularly effective and therefore why they should stay "stuck on rocks." It was entertaining.

Yesterday I was waylaid during lunch and asked to help out with the lunch shift, despite my complete lack of uniform and all, because a lot of people didn't show up for that shift for some reason. I felt bad and so worked for about an hour doing the tables, meaning it's back to the mysterious world of upside-down saltshakers again. There was, indeed, some people missing since I appeared to be the only person covering all the tables in the DC and I was under the general impression that we usually had two people for that, but I was lucky and it was near the end of the shift, so two of the areas are sectioned off already, therefore significantly reducing the amount of area I had to cover. I almost earned back my lunch money. Heh. And I was EXTREMELY lucky in the fact that there were no tour groups yesterday. Come to think of it, it's our DC that's lucky. Had there been tourgroups, I might've not even gone in for lunch.

The calendar is telling me to visit Bolshoi in Moscow. It calls it a 'cultural institution' and describes it like it's a theatre. Am I getting the right impression?

lol good job 'bolshoi' IS a theatre. the world literally means 'big', and the theatre's name is 'big theatre' (in russian) or just 'big' for short. i've been there twice, i think (once for sure). it's in the center of the city and it's big and nice and has a classical-looking. and huge inside.
