st. petersburg

so! (sorry i'm a little behind, lots has been going on)

i went to st. petersburg in march on the premise of attending a model un conference (none of us took it seriously, this was just an opportunity for us to go to russia, drink vodka and buy a furry hat.) and it was a grand old time. we got there and the first night (of course) we drank some vodka, had a good time. then the next day we toured russia, saw the sights. hermitage. it was really snowy and still winter which was weird because winter was coming to a close in neuchatel. the model un portion of the trip was kind of fun too, all of the other schools that were there were taking it really seriously, and we were just there to explore russia. we only had one day where it was really serious and it was really intimidating when they called me (iraq) up to the front of the classroom and demanded that i speak on something i hadn't been listening too, but it's all in good fun, right??
