Josh Bilides

Hello.  My name is Josh Bilides and this is my fourth year with the company.  I'm from Texas and went to Texas A&M University so, of course, my favourite sport is American football.  I was an intern in August 2008 and spent two years teaching in Zelenograd.  I moved to Central School in August 2010, mainly because I've always lived in the suburbs and never in the city.  I applied, and was accepted for, the ADOS position last spring and I'm incredibly excited about my first year in the position.  The best weekend activities here are taking walks through the city, frisbee on Sundays, and ice skating in the winter.  I look forward to meeting y'all soon.  By the way, I'll double check the official policy of using British and Texan spelling in the same paragraph. When I first got here, I used to dream that I was in Russia.  I would wake up thinking how strange it was that I had dreamt I was in Russia.  Then I would leave my room.  I thought it was a bit strange that my bathroom was two rooms, I'd be confused by the washer being in the kitchen and the realisation that I actually was in Russia would eventually come over me.  So don't worry if you feel a bit deer in headlights now.  I was late to internship training twice because I took the wrong bus in Zelenograd.  I got lost quite a few times in the first couple of months, but I survived.  Although it can be a bit crazy here, I've come to embrace it.       Also, why do people like things they are bad at like singing, dancing, and playing golf?  I like to listen to music and I tend to sing when I think nobody is listening.  If I do this, give me a little sign.  I once saw a program on MTV or VH1 called motormouth where hidden cameras caught people singing in their cars.  That made me really paranoid for a few months because I sing in the car, LOUDLY.  Overall I would say that our collection of teachers is eclectic, so be yourself and join the fun.
