Virgin post

No, there is nothing immaculate about this, but it is definitely inaugural. As normal, I'm putting off paperwork and language learning things to do something that is vaguely important, but that isn't as pertinent as I'm making it. Anyway, this is the blog that I hope to be making semi-regularly from Kazakhstan. As to that country, I've been reading up on it and trying to learn about it, but I've resigned myself to not expecting much. The idea behind that is to just keep myself open to whatever will pop up. Creating too many impressions beforehand will just make it more difficult, so malleability is key. So, the plan for right now is traveling around and visiting as many people as I can before I leave for the Peace Corps. Should be fun.
