Introduction

My intent for this blog is (to try) to give my close friends a glimpse of what I'm experiencing in St. Petersburg during my semester abroad. I can't pretend to know what life is like for the denizens of St. Petersburg, so my goal for each post is to describe one or two intimate facets of my own life here, and/or to relate small, interesting phenomena, coupled with my own observations. I don't take my camera with me wherever I go, but if a post is premeditated enough, there will be pictures of what I'm describing. I'll also post pictures of our weekly excursions to cultural and historical landmarks when I get around to importing them from my camera.

Blogs are a naturally self-absorbed endeavor, as is apologizing regularly or at great length, but I can't resist making a blanket apology this one time in advance for going into too much detail in some posts, not enough in others, irregularity or tedious regularity of posts, etc. Hopefully this will end up being more than the stereotypical blog, at least as long as I'm in St. Pete. I'll make my first post in a few hours, after I've finished my homework for tomorrow.
