Again, enjoy more beautiful photos of my trip courtesy of the iPhone X With a little over a week left of Project GO Narva 2019, some of us decided to go to Stockholm for our last free weekend here in Europe. We were actually able to see a lot of the Stockholm attractions on our … Continue reading Last Free Weekend 😦
Week 7 already! I just got back yesterday from a trip to Stockholm since it was our final free weekend. We flew there Friday night and ate dinner at a grocery store because it was all that was open. We had a bit of an adventure trying to figure out the public transportation that night … Continue reading Jacki Ulmer post #2
It’s hard to believe that we are already done with 4 weeks of our 8-week program! The time flew by, especially with the jam-packed schedule of weekend excursions, volunteering, and special events. Because midterms are on Monday, we had a rare weekend here in Narva to focus on studying. But I did manage to fit … Continue reading It’s the Halfway Point!
Tallinn Festival This weekend, we had the chance to attend a bi-annual festival in Tallinn, which apparently alternates between singing and dancing. This year was singing. I have to admit, I have never seen so many people in one place in my entire life. The scene reminded me of that one LIVE AID Queen concert … Continue reading Week 3: Return to Tallinn and Lahemaa
It’s week three now in Estonia and I can assure you, this trip is not feeling like it’s slowing down. Although most of my memories thus far appear to be only a second long jumbled up into one huge ball, this weekend definitely held it’s own and created an entire new section for itself in … Continue reading Tallinn Song Celebration: Feeling the Beat of a Country
Three weeks down and about a little over a month to go, ProjectGO Narva 2019 has been flying by. We took our first chapter test this week and we are now getting prepared for the midterm coming up next week. I personally can see big improvement on my Russian speaking abilities… for example, if I … Continue reading Lahemaa National Park and Tallinn Song Festival!
With only four days of class this week, my second week of Project GO has flown by! This week was just as great as the previous. Learning LOADS of Russian, eating AMAZING food, and going on so many different excursions throughout multiple cities. On Wednesday a few of us had an awesome time meeting our … Continue reading Narva, Tallinn, Helsinki, Oh my!
Two weeks already! The days are flying by as we are getting settled into our routine here in Narva. In those two weeks I can say with confidence that the amount of times I’ve eaten soup in my lifetime has more than doubled. We’ve also been on many a walking tour around Narva seeing everything … Continue reading Two weeks!
I cannot believe one week has already been completed in Project Go. Within one week (maybe a little over one week) I have studied countless hours of Russian, been all around Narva through different tours, and gone to another country (Latvia). Before I came to Estonia I did not know what to expect about the … Continue reading One Week in Narva
My first week in Narva was an exciting one. The first week of classes were interesting. Most of the week as been about figuring out where we are in our language learning journeys. My favorite part of Narva so far are the locals. The people that I have interacted with have been nice. Most let … Continue reading My First Week in Narva
