Snippet #1364294

Roman looked at the board and caught sight of the awkward formation of letters, they were similar to the german texts he had read for chemistry notes but the written english language was far more difficult to decipher than he had first anticipated. He heard Cole remark about where he was from, obviously his English accent was not quite as on par as he had thought. He refocused his wording,"I am...", he paused to remember what he was saying,"of a particularly large city in the country of Russia. May I ask where you have come from?", he finished glancing over to the instructor who rifled through papers and started to jot quick notes. Roman noted that the man was left-handed as he wrote, but was unsure of how qualified he actually was for this position. The man stopped writing and pushed his glasses up with his hand and dropped his pencil on what Roman had presumed were notes. He strutted to the board, he was a short man standing at around 5'6 with a very flat monotone look about him. He underlined the text on the board and read it aloud,"Define success." Roman slipped out his latest journal and translated the words used and their pronunciation in a small side caption. He withheld an initial statement to analyze other students and their responses...of course he wanted to remain relatively inconspicuous for a while as well.
