Whew! I'm pretty tired. After moving into my new (old) place on Esperanto on Monday, I've pretty much done nothing other than sit in this apartment and work on my article. Oh yeah—on Monday, I bought a new simcard for my phone—but that's been about all the fun I've had.

For the past three days I've just been sitting at this little table, looking out at the birch trees, working about twelve hours a day in front of the computer. The article is finished, at least theoretically—I'll look at it with fresh eyes in a day or so, then hopefully send it off.

The good news is that I've found a decent internet place—of course, it's at the post office (the one on Pushkin St., not the main one on Kremlevskii). The last time I went online at the Kazan post office a couple of years ago, they only had two computers (like in Ufa today). Now they've got twenty computers and a very good connection. It's also much cheaper than any of the other places in town, so clearly it's the place to be.

Anyway, I'm heading down to Bauman Street now. It's too beautiful out to spend any more time inside.
