You lucky bitch! That sounds amazing, especially all the free time you have to fangirl over Russia. (And hey, who wouldn't? Even Goebbels had a thing for Russian authors.) Your Russian is certain to improve just by the immersion, so you will exponentially increase in skill with the language classes. The problem I have is always keeping up that level when I return home. I hope you don't get too many German-in-Russia jokes (although if any are as cringe-inducing as yours, please forward them).
