Moscow at Marymount


           One of the perks of living in this city is meeting people from all different backgrounds and walks of life. Today, I met my newest friend, Eugene (I told him to pose but that the best I got; please ignore Ambrina’s face).  Eugene and I go to school together; since my school is pretty small and personal, I saw him around a lot. He seemed interesting enough: really tall, 6’2 to be exact and always had his earphones in. Well interesting to be me t least, I wanted to know why he could not take his earphones out while he was in school.
             Nevertheless, let’s get back to my day at school: I was walking through the school’s commons’ and I saw my friends Annie and Tommy sitting and talking, so I decided to sit and converse with them. Like usual we are talking about anything and everything, then all of a sudden this extremely tall kid I see around school all the time, comes and sits with us. Obviously I was excited to talk to him because as said before, he was interesting to me. Luckily I am not a shy person so I had no issue starting the conversation and lucky for me he had no problem answering me. Eugene let me know that he was a transfer student and that he does find it hard to make friends because of that fact. Moreover, he is 20 years old and his birthday is on June 20th. Additionally, he is originally from Russia and that is what he considers his home. Although, Eugene did not explain to me where he has actually lived throughout his life, I saw his identification and it was a Pennsylvania. So, either Eugene is an international student just traveling everywhere or he is a fugitive on the run, either way I would still like to consider him my friend but I would not testify in court against him.
           The moral of my story after meeting my new, tall, and Russian friend; instead of wondering what “this guy” is listening too, I can now wave and say “hey Eugene.”
