Frustration in the Air

My expectations towards this school were pretty high before arriving to Moscow. Now have been here for a couple of days, and my mind has changed totally.

At least the way we have been treated by this far is not good at all. We have not received any orientation. If we want to know something, we need to ask it ourselves. EP, our coordinator here, promised to send our schedules two or three weeks ago. We are still without our schedules – even though RM, the person taking care of us (some young girl, I do not even know of her position in the school) promised to send them on Friday. And later she said that the schedules would be sent on Saturday. And now when we called her she promised to send the schedules within one hour. Nothing happened. Our school starts tomorrow. How is this possible?

I was planning to take courses from Master level. I am not actually going to do that after all. The courses are in evenings and weekends, and if I am studying in Bachelor courses as well, I would not do anything else than study 24/7. No thank you. Maybe I will just do everything just like everyone else should: according to the schedules. The Bachelor courses are actually harder than in my home university, according to the Russian exchange students who spent last spring in Lahti. So why bother doing Master courses anyway? Maybe I should just keep everything as simple as possible... As far as I can.
