Well, my dear friend... Good news: Petenka remembers me=)) He wrote to me: Maria, if you still want to work for me this summer, I'd be glad. I'm a bit busy right now and can't find a moment to talk to you... But I've already arranged with a friend, and he agrees to rent you a FLOOR in his house.

That's good news.

The bad news is that apparently Petenka isn't aware that I needed an offer by March 1st (I already submitted the offer for the honorary cleaner position that the International Exchange Center awarded me for review)... so my DS-2019 form will list: cleaner.

I'm a bit upset... but oh well! We're still young... everything will be fine... Right?
