Been a long time since I urged these lazy fingers to tap on the keyboard. But today was so
fun-filled and amazing - my first participation in the капустник (kapustnik), also known as the annual
Talent Show organized by the Slavic Department!
Languages have always been my thing - and it was such a great experience listening to the different
branches of Slavic languages in prose, songs and poetry.
So, for my part, our class did a short skit called "Репка" (repka), which just means 'turnip'. I was the рассказчик (raskazchik), a.k.a the Narrator. Turnips are a common imagery used throughout Slavic fairy tales - basically Repka is about an old couple who could not pull out a giant turnip from the ground, and so they enlisted help from their granddaughter and other animals. Took them several tries and different arrangements on who pulls who until they finally got the ginormous turnip out.

Till next time,
До свидания
