Moskaaaaaaaaaaau!!!

[linndechir]

I need to share my excitement with the world! I'm going to Moscow for four weeks in March! I'll have several hours of Russian classes four days a week, and I get to hop around in Moscow for the rest of the time. I'm sure it's going to be quite adventurous, and exciting, and interesting, and plainly awesome! Squee! God, I love Russian so much, and I really hope that my Russian will get beyond its basic crappiness after four weeks of more intense classes. I'll have classes in the Pushkin institute in Moscow from March 1st to 26th, and then I'm going to spend a few days in Petersburg. Back home to Berlin on the 31rd. May I squee again? SQUEE!!!
I already talked to one of you, but if there are any other Russians hiding on my f-list who will be in Moscow or Petersburg at that time and would feel like meeting silly me irl, I'd love to meet you guys. I promise I'm not an evil rapist. The only thing that will rape you is my constant fangirling (and my crappy Russian, if you refuse to speak English with me ;)).
Ah, and of course I'd love to send everyone postcards, if you want some. ^^ I'll make another post asking for your addresses a week or so before I leave, because if I do that now I'll forget about again it until March. Just wanted to tell you. I love sending postcards.

Also, I decided to be a good girl and not a lazy bitch and write all my exams before I leave for Russia, instead of pushing them off until April. The first three weeks of February are going to be quite stressful, then I'll have one calm week to relax and prepare for the journey. Knowing me, I'll probably be attacked by raging plot bunnies in February, demanding that I write fic instead of preparing for my exams. ;)

Okay, no more babbling, I've got real life stuff to do. (I just wrote "bubbling" instead of "babbling" ... I suppose I am bubbling with excitement. ;))

Why the icon? Because Dieterchen approves of going to Moscow! (For some reason, in my personal fanon, Dieter learnt Russian while he was in university because he was bored. Yeah, it's shameless self-insert to motivate myself. ;)) LOL, that reminds me of that silly joke ... Why can't a German sleep calmly in Moscow? Because whenever he wakes up he thinks, "oh fuck, the Russians are here!" :)

One month without reading any story from you? I can't possibly survive this.
Nah, just kidding, it sounds quite exciting and I'm very happy for you.

Dude, that is so awesome. I hope you have a brilliant time, even though I am slightly jealous. *has a major thing for Communist history, would therefore love to go to Russia*

Hey, let me know when you're going to visit us. I think both me and mezzafreda will gladly show you around:)

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).

Wow, a whole 4 weeks in Moscow- I'm not surprised you're squeeing about it!^^
If you don't find the time to post anything during this time, then I will certainly miss it!
Hope you have a great time :D

Wow, Moscou. La classe. Bon et là, c'est officiel, je suis jalouse. Combien de langues parlées ? Allemand, Anglais, Français, Russe... et je suis sûre que tu en caches d'autres. Et quatre semaines là-bas, pff, va-t-en te noyer dans des bulles de bonheur, vile étudiante.

... Et tu apprends le russe parce que tu t'ennuyais ? Damned.

A postcard from Russia would be friggin sweet!

I hope you'll like this country and see Russia as it is, void of stereotypes=) Next time go to St. Petersburg, though. It's more beautiful, friendlier and mysterious.
