A short break

Just a quick note to let those of you who still check my blog periodically (there are some left, I hope?) that despite my poor recent record, I will be posting more often, soon! But not yet. I'll have to take another week or so off the blogging as right now Ross is here and then I have to spend the next few days frantically dealing with grad school applications (so I can get back to school next September). Yes I'm finally biting the bullet and getting them done, with January deadlines fast approaching - not the easiest thing to deal with when you're in Russia! Wish me luck.. I'll need it.
