this week was the last week of conversational russian class (before the final which i am dreading) and the women have been scheming for weeks to collect money from everyone in the class to get our teacher a nice card and a gift card from VS. i'm pretty sure i haven't bought a gift for a teacher since elementary school. besides our few most outstanding professors and TAs, do american college students feel much more than apathy or disdain for their teachers? i like this tradition of expressing gratitude. we do it when we're little, but i'd all but forgotten about it until these middle-aged eastern european women were coming around during break and whispering to everyone about our need for a class gift for irina.
