Day Negative Two

Well, hello. Or shall I say, Здравствуйте. Things to know about me/this blog:

1. I am not Russian.
2. I am not a blogger.
3. You're still reading this? I'm already impressed by you.
4. I should really be studying for my Russian exam tomorrow.

On to more exciting things.

Today, as in July seventh (because I can't seem to get in bed before midnight) marks two days until I depart for Moscow. As a Russian major at UT, among many other odd things that I am, I will be studying my second year of Russian language at Moscow International University this summer. In Russian, that sentence would be.....much harder to pronounce. You're welcome.

As I write this, I'm sprawled out on the floor of my apartment, accompanied by the confetti stuck to my body from the recent Fourth of July festivities. Someone should really clean this up. Good thing my roommate likes to clean. Halley, you're a superstar.

As for matters of the Russian sort, I plan to keep a daily log of my encounters in Russia for the next five weeks. Kind of like when I planned to take my vitamins every day or clean my apartment on a regular basis...but I fear the confetti tells all. However, I will still attempt it. This is mainly for my own recollection due to my severely impaired memory. I would greatly like to remember my days in Russia. Oh, and from here on out I will be referring to Russia as the motherland. It just seems appropriate.

So where do we go from here?

Well, I will continue to stay in my room and study for my test in T-8 hours. You can do as you please. And I hope that you do. Leisure is God's gift to the overburdened. As is coffee. Try them both. I just did.

Until next time friends,

D'Laney, or in Russian, D'Laney.
