New Kids on the Block

This might seem a bit overdue...

On August 1st, 9 new V.C.S. staff arrived in Vienna. They jumped off the plane and have hit the ground running, and just hearing about it takes me back to last year when we did the exact same thing. New apartment, new city, new furniture, new ways of doing EVERYTHING, new friends, new language, etc. You can imagine. But this year their transition has gone amazingly well, and they are all hanging in there. They are all really great, and seem like a really outgoing group. They already love hanging out together and with all of our staff. It's interesting now that we've been here a year. Everything that is new to the new staff isn't new to us anymore, and we're REALLY thankful. Coming back from the U.S. this summer was like going back to your sophomore year of college from a summer at home. We quickly resettled and now feel like we have both feet on solid ground and we know more what we're doing. It's a great feeling.
