To go or not to go, that is the question.
To go where?
To St Petersburg, Russia.
Here's the situation: every spring the students at Umeå University go to St Petersburg for a week, and usually those studying Russian at my school are offered to come with them, which is also the case this year.
I really want to go. The only problem is, none of my friends in my Russian group (there are 6 of us) are able to go, even though some of them do want to. So I'd be going alone.
On the one hand, I'd be alone with a group of people who are not only a few years older than I am, but who also already know each other quite well. Now, I'm not a very social person and I usually have a very difficult time integrating in already established groups. If I go, there's a risk my week in St petersburg will be a very lonely one indeed.
On the other hand, I'm used to being on my own, and I'm sure I'd find plenty of enjoyment in the city even if I had to be by myself, as long as I stayed away from the streets at night... And I really really want to see this city. I've always wanted to go...
I'm not sure what I'll do, but at the moment I'm leaning towards going. I might change my mind later though. *sigh*
