In Which I am Dirigible

So, I think I might have a sinus infection. No good, no good at all. Last night, the massive pressure in my HEAD didn't allow me to sleep, but fortunately I have Excedrin sinus medicine, so that relieved me enough that I could survive the night and go through today. My sore throat is all but gone, but my nose is all snotty and congested, and I keep getting the beginnings of a sinus headache. I really hope it doesn't worsen...

I am supposed to decide tomorrow whether or not I go to a homestay. I'm thinking I might. I'm going to sleep on it. We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll have to go to the doctor and have my head drained instead. Fuck. If I do end up going into a homestay, chances are I won't have the internet, so I will be on here a lot less. Which is probably a good thing.

My Human Rights course today wasn't awful. The American girl dropped it, and a Russian showed up, today. So, right now, it's me, this Russian girl (Alla, or Anya? I don't remember), and the professor. I understood a lot more today -- But, I need to send the professor an e-mail with questions and whatnot.

Nothing else remarkable happened today -- I keep meaning to buy tickets to Marc Almond but I never find the time to look for a damned Teatralnaya Kassa (Russia, or, St. Petersburg, at least, has this awesome system where there are these kassas throughout the city that sell tickets to most all events -- Concerts, ballets, opera, and so forth). I need to go to the supermarket tomorrow, so I'll probably look for one then.

Word of the Day:

управляемый (upravlyaemyj) - Dirigible. I actually had to look the ENGLISH word up in a normal dictionary after finding the translation.

Edit: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7616385.stm Very interesting article. I need to start reading the Russian news daily, to see what they have here on it all.. Though, being in several international relations classes, it's always interesting to hear what quips the professors make about the government.
