Its.. хорошо

хорошо?!  I have heard this word more times than I can even count.. and I haven't even been in Ukraine for 24 hours. It means good. I think, however that it can't exactly be explained perfectly in English.. because no one says "good" as much as our Ukrainians say "хорошо." 
Since I have arrived, the shock and adjusting needed decided to hit me in the face with a freaking brick wall going 100mph. Its not all хорошо for me yet. 
I live in a tiny apartment with a very nice lady named Lena (Lee-ena), and her son, Stas (St-ash) and a kitty cat named Romashka (Oh-Mawsh). <-- I haven't really figured that one out yet, but I think thats okay, he's just a cat. Kenna and I call him Daisy. Sad thing is I think Romashka is the only thing I really dislike a lot about Ukraine so far. I guess I feel like the apartment is small enough with possibly 5 of us plus a cat.. 
Tomorrow.. or later on today I guess we have our first big meeting here in Ukraine as ILP English teachers. Its currently almost 4am and I have Jet Lag really badly so I am wide awake, I hope it goes away soon. I hope things begin to look up soon, and I have no doubt that they will. :)

I haven't seen this yet, only the not-so-nice parts of Kiev.. all cities have ugly parts.
