Surviving the Surviveable

The volcano is still doing bad things in Iceland. Invisible smoke has engulfed Moscow and most of Europe. Some say it's the beginning of the end of days -- I think it's just been a rough couple of months.

The beginning of my classmates' and my sojourn here in Russia was marked by terrorist attacks in the metro system (and smaller attacks in the provinces). That was March. April brought us a volcano that holds many tourists hostage here in Europe. Who knows what May will bring -- hopefully just some sun and fun.

We venture to St. Pete this coming weekend -- I'm very curious about that excursion! St. Pete is supposed to be beautiful and perfectly manicured, and Tolya would like us to just enjoy ourselves -- though, my curiostiry may have provoked Tolya into getting me and my fellow 'turgs tickets to Hamlet at the Alexandrinsky Theatre. That would be pretty damn amazing -- but we'll see.

Until then, like with volcanos and everything else going on in the world, we wait.
