The first few steps...
Hello, everyone! This is my online journal about my year in Russia. Even though it hasn't started yet, there's still lots of fun stuff that I want to share. :-)
So, I've been invited to study in Moscow at Russian State University for the Humanities. See the link on the left for the (mostly) English version website (RSU for the Humanities). The program is through Middlebury College. I have to be in Moscow on August 30, and I won't be done with school until June 15. For a complete calendar (and more info in general) click on the link on the left (Middlebury School in Russia). It's not quite a year, but close. :-)
About a week ago I bought my plane ticket! Now it's like I'm actually going! Getting accepted into the program wasn't quite real (even paying the deposit didn't make it real), but getting a real plane ticket with times and gate numbers and YAY!
Now that this school year is over, I feel like it's almost time to leave! I can't believe it! I know that I actually have over 4 months, but I'm soooo impatient! :-D
I guess for now I have to be satisfied with moving into my "summer home" and taking my final classes here at U of M. If I haven't given you my new address yet, let me know. Although, before you know it you'll be getting my new address in Cyrillic! :-)
I don't know how much I'm going to be posting over the summer, but keep checking back because the closer it gets to August 30th, the more I'm going to have to talk about! :-D
