Hello! I thought I'd introduce myself, since I've been lurking around for awhile...and I have a question. :)

I've been taking Russian for 2 years now (well, 4 semesters) and I am going to St. Petersburg this fall semester to study in an intensive language program at St. Petersburg State University. Needless to say, I am really excited.

The last post reminded me of a question I had when filling out all my forms and whatnot. My last name is Gorsuch, pronounced like the English words "gore such" (Of course I get a lot of Gorsch and Gorsook mispronounciations as well :) When I try to transliterate my last name I can't find a good letter for the "uh" sound in the "such". I think I ended up going with " Горсуч " . Not that it really matters in the long run I guess, and maybe I missed something really obvious, but I was wondering what you all thought about how to best transliterate that sound?

Thanks! I really enjoy this community and reading all the questions and responses. :)
