I have just two days left in The Emerald City before I leave for Russia. And honestly, this post is just so that I can get an idea of what my blog will look like.
I am excited, nervous, and scared. But more than anything I am stressed. I'm having a really hard time wrapping up my life in Seattle, packing the last three years into boxes and fitting it, somehow or not, into my little car. Which, as it happens, needs to have the stereo replaced sometime in the next 48 hours so that I and my wonderful driving companion, Keali, don't finally go mad once and for all and kill one another.
My sister Becca and I are staging a brief invasion of New York City next weekend. As of right now we are planning on sleeping on the couches of strangers (don't tell our mom), and we've got one night taken care of. The other three, well, I guess we'll see.
Oh, and in regards to being prepared for Russia- I'm so not. I do not know the Cyrillic alphabet, despite making flash cards months ago (which I just discovered in my car- I put them there so I could practice at every traffic light, but clearly my brilliant plan failed due to my ever-increasing lack of memory). I don't remember the stuff I learned over spring break. I didn't finish reading War and Peace (which is incredibly overdue at the Seattle Public Library, along with a Will and Grace DVD and I don't know where that is). I haven't read 'From Nyet to Da'. And if there's anything else that I'm supposed to do pre-Russia for my program, it's safe to say it's probably not done (since I can't even think of what might need to be done).
California, here we come, right back where...
