Hey everyone! Sorry that I have been away so long. I had a lot of fun in Russia and Yale’s second semester has been going great, it’s just been really, really, really busy and as important as all my readers and this blog are to me, I don’t want to flunk out of school! Then I’d have a lot less to write about. Things have calmed down a little bit and I estimate that I am now down to maybe only 4 days “behind the work curve” i.e., it would only require me 4 days of completely free time to totally catch up on everything I have to do. If anyone has a time-stasis machine or a secret ultra-life-hacker website they’d care to share, let me know. Otherwise I will just try to plow on through. New posts

resume now! And by now I mean soon… right after this sociology paper.

Russia is really a very interesting and fun place to visit, I highly recommend going if you find someone russian-speaking to take you! Also, it’s still fun to go in the winter as I did, and airfare is cheaper… things are very pretty in winter! I wouldn’t mind going back in summer when fountains would be operating everywhere and I could enjoy more sunlight, of course.
