Cast of Characters: School Edition

Now that classes are over, I should probably write about the others in my class...
1) Conversation Teacher
It really doesn't matter what her name is. She is very strict. She does not speak English very well, she is actually a French teacher. We learn al ot in her class, but most of it is rote memorization, so I don't always feel that I have a good handle on what's going on. She seems to hate Beth, but she also seems like a decent person.

2) Grammar Teacher
I don't remember her name either. She is very nice and speaks English very well. She is getting married at the end of August. We can always distract her by asking about Russian culture, but we still learn a lot. She also has a great sense of humor and wants to be a photographer.

3) Max
He's the only boy in the class and just finished his freshman year. He is also obsessed with learning all of the rules about Russian grammar. Unfortunately he takes this too far and gets the rest of us confused with his convolted logic. I guess that in explanation I should add that he is a Math major.

4) Megan
She has also kind of graduated from Miami, she just has to finish her student teaching in the fall, freshman history. She's nice and a lot of fun. She's very laid back, which makes her different from any of my Miami friends from before. She's also one of the few non-honors/scholars kids on the trip. She is the wild chil/rebel without a cause of the trip.

5) Anna
Also just finished her freshman year. She's a little emo/goth, but a lot of fun. She's willing to try a lot of new things and is really smart. She's kind of funky and reminds me of Megan from high school.

6) Beth
Poor Beth, she finishes everything last, so the conversation teacher is always carping at her. She's a nice girl, although slightly highstrung. She's a closet Harrison scholar. She's also very outgoing, but lacked some motivation in the program because she gave up within the first week, I think that Russian was probably the first thing that was ever hard for her.
