I still intend to make this blog more complete by writing more about my experience in Syria, but at the moment, my calendar is reminding me that I have more pressing matters. Of course, some of it can be blamed on laziness. Case in point, by way of a somewhat fuller explanation, I am including a post from my Russian blog (noviyrus.wordpress.com):
“I don’t intend to keep this blog one ice the entire summer, but I need to freeze it for the time being. For one thing, I have a thesis to prepare a defense for. I have one month left and I’ve barely started. Shame on me. Also, and perhaps more importantly (in the long run), I have yet to make my move to Moscow. That is expected to occur in July (pending a successful and timely work visa process). The blog will resume in earnest shortly thereafter. In the meantime, I still plan on making contributions to this blog time-permitting if there are newsworthy stories worth pontificating about…like if a war breaks out in the Caucasus (reverse knock-on-wood).”
No concrete word on when this blog will get its updates, so I’ll just say “hopefully soon”.
