Yesterday was our first day of classes and I thought they went pretty well... Our regular class is just three people: Me, Kaitlin, and Brittany. We had grammar first for an hour and a half with Tatyana Alexandrovna. I thought it was funny how true the things that everyone warned us about were - she actually did give us suggestions on what to wear for the winter and made Brittany put on her scarf when she thought she was cold. And after a girl with a scarf around her head and a tanner complexion popped her head in, she made the comment that "Oh! She must be Turkish or something..." She also sang opera pretty unexpectedly one time during class.
Then we had politologia (politics and political history of Russia) for 2 units. For that day we had it together with everyone in the semester program. Apparently we will have 2 teachers, but yesterday only Sergey was there. He basically just did a powerpoint on what the class was going to be like and then we did an interview with our neighbors and introduced them to the class. After that we played a game and took a "fun quiz."
Last night was also Chris's 21st bday so we went out to the bars for the first time. It was kind of disorganized and we don't have everyone's number yet so only a few of us were able to make it. Our RD came though haha! And I think he drank enough that he had a pretty good time, I hope... I stayed classy and drank champagne for most of the night. There was this nutso dancing guy with a pipe that someone nicknamed "Charlie Chaplin" that kept us entertained for a while also.
Today we have a tour of the college campus at 3:15 and then tonight we will go bowling to meet with our tutors for the first time. I'm a pretty crappy bowler though, so hopefully they won't judge me too harshly....
