Februrary arrives

Well,
It's almost February and, as stated before, time has begun to FLY past.
Everything is becoming so real.
Right now, I've got to go back to the doctor to book the final appointment for injections (luckily I don't need many because of previous travels, although I can't remember which ones the lady told me I needed. Hopefully it won't be a problem.) and I've got to tell uni what my LEA need from them to confirm that I'll be going to Russia (which took me ages to find out, a good 15 minutes on the phone just to be told how student loans work... thanks) and also we have to decide what we want to write our year abroad project on by next week.
And its only going to get worse (or better, depending on how you see it of course).
Actually trying to think of a topic to write about whilst in Russia is actually a lot more difficult than I imagined it would be. Like, there are so many different aspects and problems to take into consideration, such as: what you write might become void if politics change, it may be difficult to research it when in Russia, getting responses to questionaires is never easy in a foreign country etc. Yet, 6000 words is still a really big essay, so it still has to be quite detailed and still specific. Not the easiest thing to decide on.
So, I've decided to steal Kate's idea, or at least something along those lines. The idea of creating the Russian nation after the fall of the Soviet Union looks like it could be promising.

So, here are the details so far:
I'm going to Moscow for the whole year (so if anyone is bored and wants a tour of Moscow, you know where I'll be).
And that's about it really, apart from the forementioned year abroad project of course.

But in general, 2nd year Russian and History ROCKS! Its so cool, I'm studying things that I'm actually interested and nothing else, there aren't too many essays to do, not too many hours in uni either. I'm certainly not complaining. I'd definately recommend it to any prospective Russian language students.

Struggling to think of what else I can fill this blog with, unfortunately nothing massively exciting is happening at the moment. However, I'll let you know if anything does.
