Yea, in Russian, 'sch' is just one letter. It can also be a diminutive of Martina, so there are a few uses.
Have you been to Bulgaria? Actually any Slavic country might consider you their own if they don't know the spelling
I like it here, and will be staying for a while after graduation at least. Hopefully get a better job than the one I have now, lol. But it's hard only seeing my family twice a year.
Let me know if you plan a visit
