Lomonosov MSU

Well I applied to the Russian Language Program at Lomonosov Moscow State University. If everything goes through then I would be staying there for Spring Semester, which is still a pretty long time (from January-June). I am hoping to hear back from them soon. The program is actually cheap compared to classes at the university in my hometown. Fulltime student tuition at MSU or 30 academic hours (I think this is 15~20 quarter credits) + flight costs is about the same cost as non-matriculated tuition at UW Seattle for 15 credits (=1 year of College Russian). Pretty sad (that education in the US is so expensive). I started my new job, but I am still a little worried about costs to cover 6 months being abroad.

Today I studied a couple hours of Russian. I think I am much more comfortable with Prepositional cases, plurals, etc now. I was working on Chapter 4 workbook exercises but didn’t get to finish. Hoping I can get through the whole thing this weekend, so I can focus on Chapter 5 over the week, which is geography- eh I am not looking forward to it. I was looking ahead and Chapters 5,6, and 7 seem pretty difficult. If I can finish Chapter 6 though, then I have made it through 1 quarter of college Russian, studying out of a class! The more I think about it, finishing the entire book by the end of the year might even be an attainable goal- but very ambitious. Maybe I’m crazy then. This means 3 chapters a month:

September: 6, 7, 8
October: 9, 10, 11
November: 12, 13, 14
December: 15, 16, 17
