while i make an effort to improve my opening lines, my attention has been drawn to another of my writing faults, my titles. i must admit titles for me are always somewhat of an afterthought. having written my blog i tend to think of a few words that describe the article every day in st petersburg i take my life into my own hands. not that st petersburg is a particularly dangerous city, in fact in terms of petty crime, it has extremely low rates. it is not the danger presented by other people that causes me to fear for my life every i write this standing in the center of the neva. technically this version i typed up in my flat but i scribbled the original completely illegible script in a notebook on top the frozen neva. though i have borrowed the structure of my opening sentence from dodie smith, i can occasionally i like to to*ture myself and reread some of my old blog posts. though my writing style today is hardly different, and certainly not any better, reading things i wrote in a different time somehow makes them seem so distant and separate from me. what i have i have now been home for exactly a week, and have only just had the time to sit down and write the post that i had planned on writing the day i returned. my final few weeks in st petersburg were not all that different from previous weeks. i spent time in museums and strolling as previously mentioned, the threat of returning to england in mere days has made me realise how much i have yet to see in st petersburg. constantly writing about oneself can be a bit tedious after a while and i can only imagine it is even more exhausting for those of you reading it. however, at this stage in time, i am in touch with neither english nor russian news enough to warrant me writing about either. whilst this year has already been and will undoubtedly continue to be one of the best years of my life, it is not without its lows. i have recently been slower than usual to post a blog, the reason being that i have been in a state of confusion about what exactly to write about.
