Clusters

For the duration of training we have been assigned to work with a specific group. Sometimes they will assign 2 clusters to work together or attend an event. This is a link. But for now I am in Cluster B (or Чернігів? (Chernigov) 2). There are 5 of us and we will be learning and practicing together over the next 3 months. Patrick is from Seattle, Amy from Oregon, Noelia from San Antonio, and Sara from Las Vegas. We all have the same language teacher, Maria. Seems like I am the only one with much snowfall experience. It was only a dusting last night and the ground is just more muddy than frozen or snowy. I expect most of the major snow is done for the year. We will see.
Anyway, we haven't really learned that much together yet, but I figure this will be like going through basic training with these guys and we should be pretty tight by the end of the "boot camp". Here’s to building new friendships as our journey begins…
