Right, having never written publicly in any sense before, this could either be really good, or really shit, I don't really care if I'm honest. I'm kind of writing this for my own self-satisfaction, and partially for the people genuinely interested in how I'm getting on, and what I get up to.
If you're reading this at all, you are presumably aware that come September, I'll be off to Russia, or more precisely Petrozavodsk, that place no-one's ever heard of, in one of the really cold parts near Finland at the top of the country. Once my presumably epic Christmas break is over with, I'll be off to live in a hotel in the middle of St Petersburg to start my new life as the Russian Alan Partridge. Can't wait.
I'm not going to waste time introducing myself, as I personally very strongly doubt that anybody's going to read this who actually needs it, enough people are aware that I'm a complete liability for me not to need to carefully detail it.
The reason I am starting this now, is that I am currently in Switzerland, which is abroad. This leads me to believe that I am currently (sort of, I'll freely admit) on my year abroad already. The fact that it is very heavily raining AGAIN, means that there just isn't anything to do, which provided me with the motive to start this.
In fact, I sometimes see being here at all as an irritating obstacle to sorting out the ENDLESS piles of paperwork that I have to do at some point before I leave to the motherland, but just wasn't really arsed to at any point before I left for here, then I look across the valley and think "nah, this is class" instead, and cast all bureaucracy to the back of my mind.
I imagine that this was a relatively short post compared to the monsters I'll end up unleashing as a product of my boredom at some points, but if you actually read it all, thank you very much :D
До свидания!
