July 14, 2008 || First Day Back in Peter

Absolute bullocks. I had a super long post for today and apparently the website decides to be ultra lame and not auto save AT ALL while I'm writing? Bah.
Here's the short:
Last day at camp, last night at Olya's... gonna miss her and owe her so much.
CCUSA was great at taking us around Moscow--we did so much and the weather was great, I really actually started to like the fickle beast.
--> Tretyakov, Izmailovskii Rynok, Georgian food, Chris's apartment/wanting to BE Chris when I graduate, banya-searching, almost calling every friend at home at 4 am EST from CCUSA's phones 'cause I COULD, playground playing, staying up way too late every night, dyrak with friends, morning tour of VDNX, taking pictures with Thai tourists...
CCUSA rocked at getting us to our airports--Max sat and had coffee with me while waiting for my checkin to open, then went to double-check on Kirby. CCUSA pretty much rocks. Especially Xenia and Valery. My plane got delayed 5 hours. Made friends with some Russians, a Swede, an Italian tour guide (might be tagging along with his group to go see the Hermitage, maybe Gatchina or Petergof or something, as well as finding non-Il Patio Italian food). Finally arrived, love my 'mini-hotel.'
Plans: Up in the air, whatever I want. On my schedule: BIG WANTS Valaam, Nevsky Lavra, jazz boat cruise MUST SEE Marina Nikolaevna, Marina from Moscow, Susan, Masha. Anything else that comes my way, I'm game. And I'll be taking serious notes so I can actually send some kick ass info to the Rough Guide guys this time.
Missing the CCUSA kids (probably still in the air right now) terribly. It's one thing to think you won't see your camp kids ever again, but some of these guys became like best friends.
Need: SLEEP. Running on an average of 1.5 hours a night for the past few days. Poshla!

WHy don't you type up your entries on Word before posting so that the internet can't screw you over? Plus that way you can post even when not online. Unless you aren't using your own laptop. Hmm that might pose a problem. Nevermind.

Lots of Love,
