The spirit of the FIFA World Cup is strong across the globe, here in Russia, and in cyberspace as well. Via Facebook Messenger I was able to make a Colombia ?? fan out of my roommate, Andrew. Perhaps the greatest benefit of a study abroad class are the friendships made and relationships solidified. Dr. Neirotti does a wonderful job putting the class and entire experience together and all we have to do is put in the work and take it all in. Today is our last full day in Russia and it will be bittersweet to leave, but back to America I must go.
