The (tragically brief) layout

So... I lied. I am posting more before I leave and while I am still boring in the US. I am figuring stuff out and I decided to add an oh-so complex visual aid to show you all where I will be living and going to school in Moscow.




Below is a map of the Moscow Metro. The purple circle at the top is around where I will be going to school at the Moscow University for the Humanities. The other purple circle I added to this oh-so advanced visual aid is to the Southwest is where I will be living with a woman and her daughter for the semester.






If you are wondering.... yes, I am nervous because where I am living will be pretty far from school. Looking on the bright side, however, I will hopefully have to challenge my not so snazzy sense of direction and learn how to get around. It will just be a work in progress.

Less than a week!!

Hey everyone! It is my last Sunday in the States. I can't say I am preparing for Russia yet, but I am mentally getting there.... sort of? Anyway, no one really cares about me in the US, so I will post when the real Russia has begun on August 27th!
