They've been giving a lot of information lately, in fact, which I guess makes sense since the program begins next week. They started a Yahoo! group, and I was the first one to post up on it, and people have just been introducing themselves and talking about their internships and stuff. They sent out a list today of all the participants with the housing info, and from it I can glean the following:
- There are 37 students total. 20 guys and 17 gals. Much smaller than I had expected.
- Judging solely by names and emails, there are 11 foreign students. I hadn't really thought of any foreign students being here at all.
- There is one student who attends "Stetson University."
One more note about the demographics of this group: Several people on the Yahoo! group have told that they are seniors/already graduates. People are of ages 19-27. I think there might be one Slovak. I'll have to mediate in case any confrontations break out between him and Pavol (loose cannon as he is)(my gut feeling tells me). I'll also have to get this guy's autograph for Jonathan if he's Slovak. Boy, looks like I'm gonna really have a busy semester ahead of me, trying to repair relationships I damage here before I even meet the people. Better end this and go to sleep.

Whale Ronnie, for the second time in the past decade, you have demonstrated your inability to correctly spell the word "apartment."
Also, don't forget to greet your Czechoslovak pals with a hearty "Dobry den!"
Thanks for writing this.
