I AM GOING TO MOSCOW. i am spending next summer in a paid internship working in the US Embassy in Moscow, Russia, with free housing, and also IN RUSSIA.

I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS IS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN.

that is amazing!!!!

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE?! "college" is only a bad word when it isn't preceded by "new"

i think it's totally not true to assume that you wouldn't get in - and i think that regardless of the odds, you need to visit, at the very least.

how many languages does it offer? DO THEY HAVE PORTUGESE?!?!

[uponawhim]

russian, german, spanish, french, ancient greek, hebrew, latin... not more than that with any regularity? yeah. no portuguese, unfortunately, but i'm sure someone would sponsor it if you asked them to, but then you'd be a little bit on your own maybe. maybe not though, i'm sure there's someone who's fluent or at least knowledgable who could help you with it.

YAYYAYAYAY! I'm very much happy for you! (not at all jealous, i promise!)

[uponawhim]

you know you're jealous. you don't have to pretend.
we haven't spoken in an awfully long time...

[metal_kazoo]

Haha, that's fucking awesome.

[uponawhim]

THANKS!!! [imissyou]

[nonnahsonic]

woooah... that is mighty impressive there- can I expect a photo of you wearing a silly russian hat in some crazy scenery?

[uponawhim]

OF COURSE YOU CAN. you should certainly expect nothing less!

I have a friend who lived with a family in St. Petersburg this summer. If you want any advice or tips, I can give you her e-mail address.

Best thing about Russia, according to her: Gauloises are eighty cents a pack. Of course, this is negligible if you don't smoke, but it seemed interesting.

NEAT NEAT NEAT NEAT NEAT

i could like gauloises for 80 cents a pack.
