So tomorrow is our last day in St. Petersburg and I am a bit bummed. I absolutely love it here and hope I have the opportunity to study here senoir year. It's sucha beautiful city, the architecture is just amazing. The museums are some of the best in the world. The food is delicious and fairly cheap and the weather is just my style, grey and rainy. I could however do without the mud. Our last play is tonight which I am not to bummed about. I loved seeing the plays it was a great experience. But I am all played out. I usually see maybe three or four a year and this was like 22 in a month.
Last nights play was one of my favorites that we've seen, the set was bad, the script was bad. It was an accident that we even saw it at all (the actor in the play we bought tickets for broke his leg so it was cancelled). But there was just something about it that really impressed me. It was pretty easy to follow some of the dialogue just from the movement of the actors and this is the first play we've seen that we havent had a summary of that I have felt that way. Then end was absolutely killer for me. I was on the verge of tears and this wave of laughter sweeps through the row I'm sitting it. The ending was cheesy over done, and probably comprobable to the ending of the Seagull. But I liked it and it reminded me of a fairy tale.
I am excited to see Gogol tonight. Should be interesting and we have the whole script for it so I will be able to follow what is happening. Then tomorrow is packing, and spending the last of my roubles. Then back to the states for a break before the start of normal classes.
