Up and Running

Students have been back in session for nearly a month now. Thought I'd post just a couple of pictures of the people I'll be spending the next year with. I'm living in/supervising the seniors boys dormitory again. There are 37 students in there with a large number of Saudis and Russians with a number of other nationalities mixed in.

Each year all faculty members are assigned a small group of students that we spend time with throughout the year. I have an American, Saudi, Brazilian, Mexican, and a German in my family, plus a college student from the University of Waterloo who is here for a semester doing an internship. This past weekend was our faculty family weekend where we spend two days with our students. My family is great! All of them get along quite well. Our first day was spent at the Cailler chocolate factory, La Gruyere, and BBQing around a bonfire while looking out over Lake Geneva. The second day we cooked pancakes and eggs for the kids, and then spent the afternoon canyoning at Les Marecottes. After spending two days with the students I was exhausted and slept 11 hours the following night.
