Just about every other person I run into asks me the same question: - so, how does Dasha like studying at Stanford? My answer to everyone: Dasha (a.k.a. LiL Nerd) has no idea whether she likes studying at Stanford, because she was there for three days on an orientation trip for admitted students and has long since been back in Moscow—where, like all Moscow schoolkids, she goes to school and studies for exams. (And also, as you can see, she has an umbrella and I do not.)
