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.
