A few milestones reached

I finished reading my first book in Russian ever. And it was quite a long book I must say: 667 pages. I chose the strategy to read a book that I already know so that I don't get lost in what is going on there but still interesting enough to read it for the second time. It was a smart move :) I didn't get bored by the book itself, I didn't get frustrated by not understanding and it was easy reading to metro or bus, nothing intellectual.

From other news, I bought an appartment yesterday. I am a young independent woman with a mortgage now. Unfortunately the place will be rented for a while because I need to get some money for reconstruction before moving in.
