Happy New Years everyone, I will soon be away on vacation… in Russia!
Hope Santa treated everyone well this year, and that new year's goes swimmingly too: I am off to New York for new year's Sunday and then January 1st I will be jumping on an Aeroflot flight to Moscow and will be gone for about two weeks in RUSSIA! Which I am very excited about. If you or someone you know is interested in traveling to Russia and getting a Russian visa, let me know, I might try to document the sufferings I went through sometime... but just be sure to plan ahead to avoid undue suffering.
I will be going to Moscow, Cherepovets, and St. Petersburg (maybe Novgorod or some other places if time permits). My travel log on Dopplr is not very exciting because I am not a "frequent business traveler" but it's still a really cool site which I use and will be using (thanks danah, for the invite!). Basically it's a traveling social-y network which is very useful for seeing when you overlap with people! If you know me and use the site, let's connect!
I may try to update as I go along and maybe get some photos up but chances are things will be quiet until I get back.
I'm currently a rising senior at Yale University and I've been blogging about college admissions and higher education marketing trends since I began my college application process in 2005. I now also write about my experience here at Yale.

Have a great time! May your learning experiences be not of the painful variety.

Moscow in winter?? What were you thinking? Its really nice during the summer. Nice long days. Don't forget to visit the Arbat St. Although its mainly a tourist sight.
