I'm here!

I've arrived in Russia, safe and sound. Today we had orientation and a little tour of our city, Yaroslavl. There are about 25 or 30 volunteers here, and it has been fun meeting all of them. (Fun fact: Even though my organization is a national one, five of the volunteers are from or study in North Dakota or Minnesota. The upper midwest is awesomely over-represented.) I don't really have much to say and I'm pretty tired, so I think I'm going to head to bed early. Volunteer work starts tomorrow. Get excited. I'll let you know how it goes.
