Europe is open for Business

So, once again it's been forever since I've posted a blog entry.  I apologize for that, not really.  Anyway, the other week I found out that I can leave and reenter Ukraine as I wish.  It's a long story filled with anger and betrayal.  As soon as I found out, I made plans to leave as soon as possible.  I'll be going to England over Easter, which I'm pretty excited about.  I''m going to tour London and visit family that I haven't seen in like 10 years!  I also want to go to Poland and Romania since they are they are right by Ukraine.  I'll be sure to post lots of pictures when I do. 
My time in Ukraine has flown by.  I'm leaving in a little over a month, which is crazy.  My classes are going well and I finally feel like I have grasp on Russian.  Obviously I still have a lot to learn, but right now I fell like it's just a matter of memorization.  My class on the history of Russian is getting more and more epic every week.  We're quickly approaching the 20th century, which is what I'm most interested in learning about. 
I have also finalized my plans for the summer.  When I leave Ukraine I'm going to travel Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris for a week with my cousin.  After that I'll finally be going home, but there will be no rest for me there.  I'll only be home for about a week before I move to Pittsburgh where I'll be taking a Summer Russian course at the University of Pittsburgh.  That will run until the middle of August and then I'll be going back to Lock Haven to start the fall semester. 
The budget cuts to PA universities has also had a major impact on me.  Lock Haven is loosing faculty, staff and students, which is really making me question whether or not I should finish my education there.  I mean, who want to have a degree from a University that may not even exist in a few years?  Oh America, how I've enjoyed my time away from your crazy politics and problems...
