I am currently listening to t.A.T.u. and dancing around my room in naught but my underwear. LEOPARD PRINT UNDERWEAR. Don't tell me you aren't jealous of my life.

I also spent the evening drinking wine and watching Black Books. It was fantastic. God, I wish I could say that in Bernard Black's voice.

I love Harry Potter midnight events! I was originally fairly upset that I couldn't see it with my original midnight HP crew and then super upset that I was so hopped up on vicodin* that I actually slept through most of it, but it's amazing how much better you can feel after complaining about everything to your boyfriend. Hope he can handle it and isn't secretly dying inside. On the plus side, when I go to see the movie again there will be NEW stuff, so my excitement to see it does not yet have to wither and die. Also, I was awake when Seamus exploded himself in potions, which is the sort of thing I live for.


*I had my wisdom teeth extracted this afternoon. I know; it was far from perfect timing. The oral surgeon seemed like kind of a dick, but the procedure went well and they sent me home with drugs-so who's to complain? I'm also strangely excited to subsist on mashed potatoes and simple soups for a couple days. I'm sure that enthusiasm will change as soon as I see a roommate eating real food or catch a glimpse of the leftover pumpkin pasties in the fridge, but alas! So it goes.

Also, I'm making my glorious return to the 'dale on Monday, so there should be much rejoicing.

Tangelos are DELICIOUS.

A few things.

1. I got an acceptance email so I AM GOING TO RUSSIA NEXT SEMESTER WHOOOO!

2. I don't really know how to go about this, so I'm just going to come out and say it.

I like World of Warcraft.

Are you happy, world? I know I've made fun of it before. Relentlessly. I know I thought it was stupid and that everyone playing it had to be crazy to at least some degree. But it's fun. So okay. I'm embarrassed now.

3. I don't want to wake up at 9 am on SATURDAY to go get brunch with my grandparents rarrrrrr

我想回家。

I miss blogging.

No time like during my political science lecture to start up again, eh? Our topic today is “Judicial Reform in the Soviet Union,” so to say that it’s uninteresting would be quite the understatement. I’m struggling more and more to learn in this class; the first half of the semester took on a more direct historical basis that I actually cared about, but now we’re getting really deep into the heavy political stuff that is very difficult for me to follow. It’s also hard to bring myself to devote any real time to studying the material after I sacrificed god knows how much time to write that sixteen page research paper (Russian language resources are not exactly user friendly as far as an American student is concerned).

About a month ago (after hours of toiling to complete the nearly-endless list of application requirements), I finally submitted my application to study abroad in Saint Petersburg. I still haven’t heard back about acceptance, and it’s starting to really bother me. I got an email today that told me not to worry; they’re working hard to get through all the applications and I should hear back by May 5th. But I want to know nowwwww. *whines* I have to hang around for a few hours after class today to take a qualifying exam for it, also. I’m getting so impatient! I want them to accept me so I can stop worrying! I can’t imagine what I would do if I don’t get to go-there’s only so much sitting around my computer, Flickr world-exploring, and wishing to go somewhere that I can handle. I want to go on a grand adventure abroad! Rarrr!

I should probably pay some real attention to lecture now.

We still have 20 minutes left.

Balls.

你好！

I finally figured out how to type in Chinese! Yayy! I feel so fancy.

我是美国学生！ 我家有四个人；我妈妈， 我爸爸， 一个第第 和我！

I AM DONE WITH SCHOOL! WHOOOOOOOO BREAK.

WOOOOOOOO

I LOVE BARACK OBAMA.

That is all. I should probably go to sleep, but I am a bit excited.

I am currently taking a course that centers around Russian life and culture through 1917. In addition to the normal requirements for said class, since I am a Russian major, I have to write a 10-15 page research paper about some aspect of Russian culture during the time period in question.

I am writing it about music during the Romantic period.

Because I really *needed* an excuse to sit around and listen to Tchaikovsky all day...

I am a genius.

So happy.
