Classes as usual, then language coaches. Everyone seems in decent health with the exception of the expected traveller's illnesses.

Today I sat in on the fourth-year Russian class. As always, I can't sit in on a Russian class without learning something new, and today I was reminded of two words I hadn't seen in several decades: зиждиться ‘to be based on’ and зыбиться ‘to surge, be tossed, be ruffled, wave.’ They are both very bookish and conjugate not quite as you would predict from their infinitive endings.

I want to make a laminated handout. Why can't I find a proper copy shop?
