| Bio: | Who are you? Превет, internet. I'm Stef. I'm 19, and I was born in Fort Lauderdale, FL but currently live in NYC. This journal is my means of keeping up with my friends and family 5,000 miles away. My other LJ is friends-locked, so this one is my public journal. What's this all about? This is my travelogue of my semester in Moscow, Russia. Yeah, not Moscow, Idaho or Moscow, Kansas -- the real one. I'll be there from September 1st through December 16th at Moscow University for the Humanities in their GRINT program through the School of Russian and Asian Studies. I'm hoping to graduate from CUNY Hunter in Spring 2009 with a double B.A. in both Geography and Russian and Slavic Studies. After that? Definitely grad school for an M.A. in Geography. After that?! Oh gosh, I don't know. But I might help to answer that in the next question! Why Russian? Why NOT Russian? No seriously, you're crazy. Yeah, I guess so, for going to Moscow in December. But, hey, the US State Department considers Russian a "critical need" language, meaning the government is begging for Americans to learn it. I've also been fascinated for quite a while with everything about Eastern Europe and Central Asia - such mysterious lands with so many languages and peoples! What's the username mean? wanderlust - WordNet (r) 2.1 (2005): wanderlust n 1: very strong or irresistible impulse to travel [syn: wanderlust, itchy feet] "Wonderlust King" is a fantastic song by raucous gypsy-punk band Gogol Bordello. "I travel the world, looking for understanding of the times that we live in. Hunting and gathering first hand information, challenging definitions of sin." If my must-see-the-world self keeps this journal going, I think it's a very appropriate homage!  | |||||
