Don't do it, kids! At least, not if you're an American who signed a contract.
One of our students got sent back to the states. He was caught smoking weed in the dorms on our excursion to Peter. He was sent home a week later. So this is a little warning for those who think too much of themselves. Think about your priorities.
In general we have a very cool group right now. 35 people - everyone is different, as usual, everyone has their own story. I'm gonna be "the observer" this year. Maybe sometimes "the adviser". We'll see. Gotta go to sleep. I might think of something smart to say tomorrow :)
I haven't yet decided what I'm gonna write about over here, but then again it's always like that with me: I start writing having no idea what I'm gonna write about and then suddenly it turns out to be a masterpiece:)
For those who don't know me at all... Ask somebody else to tell you about me, cause I don't want you to get the wrong impression when I start bragging about myself. The only phrase I could use is that "I'm short, red-haired and a danger to society" :)
I apologize in advance for any mistakes I might make. Alex will be my editor because my spelling is horrible.
I'm in Moscow right now, it's true. I study at the International University and work for ACTR. So this might be interesting for the previous, current and yet to come groups, because I've a feeling that I'm mostly gonna be putting in stuff about that.
Don't hesitate to leave your comments; I'd love to hear what you think, and if you have any questions about our life here - go for it.
