Yes folks, it is true I am a nerd.
I just realized how sad it was last night when Goalie gal was at my house.
We were playing Trivial Pursuit.
I know what you are thinking. "What kind of 17 year old girls play Trivial Pursuit?"
answer: the home school kind.
Anyways I was crushing her in the history category, because for some reason all the questions that she was pulling were either Russian history or WW2 history, both of which I'm good at.
Anyways she pulled a card out that asked, "Who is interred next to Lenin in the Red Square Mausoleum in Moscow."
I honestly had no idea who it was. So, I guessed. "Stalin?" and I was correct.
Another question I got had to do with a tsarina, I forget what the question was but Goalie gal liked the fact that I answered "Catherine the Great, because I think she is shady."
I was right again.
So thus I discovered that I am a nerd.......and that Russian and Eurasian Studies is the right major for me.
Do any of you readers know what you want to major in?

Russia and Hockey
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was on vacation and I have a strict no computer rule while on vacation.
I hope you all had a blessed and merry Christmas.
My Christmas was amazing. My parents got me something very special for Christmas that combines my 2 favorite things; Russia and Hockey.
They got me a matryoshka(FYI, that is English script,not Russian), which, for those of you who don't speak Russian is a nesting doll.
You know, the little doll that you open up and there is another inside and then one inside that one etc.
I know you are probably wondering what that has to do with hockey so I will show you.
It is a Washington Capitals matryoshka! Isn't it cute?
It is now proudly displayed next to my other matryoshka that I got last year for Christmas
They are more traditional than the Caps one.
On a totally different subject, Did anyone watch the World Junior Championships for hockey?
I did. (bet that shocks you)
Russia made it to the gold medal game and played against Sweden last night.
Oh boy was it a nail-biter! Those goalies put on a clinic -note: for the hockey impaired this means that they played amazing- It was 0-0 at the end of the third so they went to OT.......and unfortunately Sweden won gold. I was sad. I wanted Russia to win. I also think that Andrei Makarov( the Russian goalie) deserved to win. He stopped 57 of 58 shots. The Swedish goalie only stopped 17 shots.
Now I'm sad.
