2nd September

Well, the time has arrived (not time to leave, but the time when I know when I'm leaving).

So, get ready to say goodbye to me on 2nd September 2010. I'll be leaving Birmingham at like 7 or 8 or somewhere around then (in the morning) on Thursday 2nd September.
Now you can all start getting sad that I'm leaving.

Videoblog

Hello all.

This is just a quick update on what's going on at the moment (not that anyone's actually reading this at the moment of course).

I've decided to create a video blog instead, as its easier and you can actually see some of the things that I'm talking about a little easier (I'm hoping). The videos will all be found on this site: http://www.youtube.com/theboagey so, when I'm in Moscow keep an eye on that.

So, by now here's what's been sorted out:
Course has been booked.
Accommodation form has been submitted. (will refer to this in a bit)
Deposits paid for course and FLIGHTS!!!

So, I'm expecting more information about official invitations and visa applications etc (although, it's all in the magical red book of RLUS of course).

The accommodation:
I've been asked so many times about where I'll be staying and when I find out exactly where I'll be staying. I'll tell you all definitively now that I don't know. All I know is that I'll be staying in Moscow, with a babushka/hozyaika. On the application form there was a question about whether I'd want to stay in accommodation with another student. Personally, I'd kind of prefer it, a little bit of pressure for me not to spend my whole time there stuck in my room on facebook to you guys (as good as that'd be). Fingers crossed it's not someone worth hating, if indeed I do end up staying with another student)

So yeah, keep an eye on the youtube page, as I'll hopefully be posting regular videos, boring you about the mundane things that I'll be doing whilst in Moscow. In fact, my aim is to take you all on a video tour of Moscow when I get there; that way you know what to expect when you come and visit me!
