I have come to the disconcerting conclusion that in all likelihood not only am I not going to become Russian by the end of the summer--I am never going to become Russian. Why did I even think it was possible? I guess because, at least to someone who was born American, it seems relatively easy to become American. Or at least quite possible. Maybe

You would probably be able to really become Russian if you lived a large portion of your life in Russia. Like 20 years. I'm sorry you'll be apparently stuck with your old ethnicity forever :( although at least you can become fluent in Russian, and that will speed up the Russifying (totally not a word but I'll use it anyway) process.

Two questions for you to answer if you read these comments:
1. How exactly do you pronounce (at least in Samara) either word for "you"?
2. When are you coming home?

> I would need to be apathetic about politics

Unless you are male I must say.

My (our?) country is living in darkest time in its history and political apathy is the consequence of the fact that you cannot change anything thru politics.
