Walking across the campus early in the morning, [we] couldn't help but think that perhaps we were getting an intensive introduction not only to Russian language, but to Russian existence: trudging across the white earth, bleak skies above, and living with little hope from day to day. (Of course in our case, our lack of hope was hardly an existential crisis; it had more to do with smaller issues - seemingly considerable at the time - like whether or not we could memorize the words for "microwave oven" and "alarm clock.")

Sometimes it feels limiting to be here when there is so much work only possible once outside of Oberlin, but ultimately, my year before starting college and the Yafo summer experience has made me appreciate my time as a student that much more. After working long hours, speaking a language that kept me thinking and struggling 24/7, and taking on the responsibilities one has when living on one's own has made me appreciate the freedom to study and practice specifically what I want to be learning all day, every day as an unreal gift.
