So I haven't updated in a while... that's because of the Evils of Finals.
But as of now, I have more interesting things to say, like the fact that I have started my Trans-Siberian Journey.
First Leg of the trip- Yaroslavl to Ekaterineburg.
The train ride was not fun. My friend Rachel and I were in the wagon that conveniently did not have heat, and in -27 degree weather, heat is very important. Then there was the fact that they play bad bad Russian pop songs on the train until 10 at night, and starting from 9 in the morning. Russian pop singers sing about such deep things as "I'm falling in love, you're falling in love" and "I kiss you kiss you kiss you" (I am Jack's gag reflex) with choruses that involve lots of lalalas, nananas, or dadadas, and the ever popular oh yeah. I am Jack's homicidal tendencies. And I bought a copy of Fight Club to read at the airport, but won't say much more, since the first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club.
It's really cold in Russia, lowest temperatures in a century, if I understood people correctly. Really need help from that Power Animal.
