So if anyone has a cure for apathy, I would really love to hear it!

And the days go on
I'm having a great time in Russia. I really am. The city has so much to offer, the students are smart and eager to learn (for the most part) and my fellow teachers have been amazing to work with. But I seem to have a smidge of a problem. I feel like everything is going so fast that I don't have any real feelings about anything. Yeah, I see the irony in this statement. Move past that for a minute. Example. We went to the Hermitage on Saturday. It's one of the biggest and grandest buildings/museums in the world. And I just couldn't appreciate it. I love art, I love emotion, I love things that make me think. But I felt none of that while I was there. Example 2. I have a couple of students (see previous post) that are not good students. I don't mean they're dumb, they just like to make the teacher's lives miserable. But I don't care. I say whatever, make my life miserable punk. And this is a frustrating school of thought.

I know you Nic, you're just sick. When you feel better then everything else will be better. Hang in there. Love ya.
This must be your own type of "horror" phase. Don't worry. Humor is coming next. :) Things will get better. You're still adjusting.
when you hear of a cure, please let me know as well. haha.
it'll be okay. you have a lot more time to settle in and think.
