Day 20 - January 20

It was supposed to be a quiet, early night since my room was too warm and I hadn’t been sleeping well the last few nights. I was going over to the Polish guys’ place to learn to make pierogies and then it would be goodnight to Elizabeth. It did not quite turn out that way, but what did happen was much more fun, if it did not help with the lack of sleep.

We did go to the Polish guys’ place, and we actually got there on time this time. Turns out pierogies are the easiest thing in the world to make, but we were scolded about making absolutely sure the dough was fully closed. Once we figured that out, they were a cinch.

One of our master chefs.

Intently folding our pirogies.

Stegosaurus-shaped dinner!

Those of us who were going to stay home at night were convinced to come to the student house. A few people had to split, so we agreed to meet back up around 9:30, but since we finished the dinner around 7, we figured we should just hang around until the time. We began playing a card game called “Coach Ride to Devil’s Castle”. By the time we figured out the rules and got into it, Daria suggested, “How about we don’t go out tonight and just stay and play cards?” Perfect suggestion. We ended up staying much later than expected – almost 1:00 – playing that game and then logic games/story games (a man died in a forest with ___, ___, and ____...what happened? Etc.) until we suddenly realized we still had class the next day and the busses had stopped running. Claudia, Daria, Angela, and I ended up taking a cab to the main Metro station and taking the Metro from there.
