Our school is a concrete box likely from the Soviet Era. I do not know how much time those of you reading have spent in concrete buildings with no insulation, but I'll give you a tip, it is akin to going to school inside a refrigerator. Our first few weeks here we wore hats, gloves, scarves, and our fleeces just to keep warm during our four hours of language class every morning. I truly have a new respect for the actual students in Georgia as well as the teachers and empathize with them. During the winters it must be absolutely brutal. I used to hate how cold school was in America, which was due to excessive air conditioning, that did not even compare!
This pictures was taken on a particularly nice day during which one of our breaks from class the members of my cluster came to a consensus that we could focus more on our studies if we could feel the tips of our fingers. So we moved everything you see outside and had a lovely session in the sunshine! :)
