Mid-term Exam Approaching

I’m about a week away from the my mid-term exam.  I need to memorize 200 words for it and the studying continues to be long and intensive.  The weather is so hot and I’ve made the repeated mistake of buying food from street vendors… the resulting food poisoning has not been fun. But, aside from that I’ve been making big strides in my Russian Language acquisition and have had numerous interesting conversations with locals.
