Hey Everyone!
Ok, so big news from THIS VERY MOMENT, someone just told me that Facebook is blocked on the computers that we are on. WHAT.
I just dont know how I will survive now.
Actually, I'm really busy and will not be here forever,so hopefully this will not have too large of an effect on me.

The biggest event that is happening to me right now is, whats the word, the thing where time is all screwed up because I traveled for a milion hours.
My head must just be soooo full of Polish that I dont know any english anymore.
yea.
I did learn how to say "I am fatally bad" in response to the question of how am I doing though. So that is good.

Getting here took a very long time. I flew to boston. Then I hung out in Boston for a million years. I did not get to eat breakfast in McDonalds though. Then there was a 7 hour flight to Paris where the Paris airport was the most confusing place on the planet. We had a 6 hour layover, but were very very tired at that point. It got very much like you know in the movies when like the person is moving slow and the people allaround them are going in hyperspeed. That is how I felt. Then we flew from Paris to Warsaw for 2 hours, then we had a 2 hour vanride to Makow Masowiecki (Pronounced Makov Masovietski). During the bus ride i kept falling asleep sitting up and then waking up when we went over bumps and making a big snorting noise because I guess my mouth was open.

We are staying at a school place and it is for kids so there are lots of toys in our room. We have a giant stuffed Winnie the Pooh, a barbie, a finding nemo, a betti spaghetti and lots of other things. We ate too. There was lots of things like cabbage stuff with some type of meat. and chicken stuffed with something. And pasta salad. The grossest food was definitly egg filled with mushroom and the best was this like giant ball of dough covered in strawberries. I had 3 of those.

Yesterday night when we were crashed because we had been awake and gross traveling for a million hours there was a giant thunderstorm and lightning came right up near the building and shook it. I ams o tired, im not sure this is coherent.

We have 2 Polish lessons today, and evidently that is all the Polish we will need for, you know, life because the rest of our lessons this week (we are at orientation) will be teaching lessons. I can figure out a lot of words based on Russian, but not when people talk fast, and definitly not all words. LIKE AT ALL. So yes, this wilil get much more confusing and frusterating when there arent lots of Americans around.

One of the major issues thus far has been liquids. Like on the plane they were very stingy with the water plus we didnt want to have to go to the bathroom too much. Then here they are more big on sparkling water, which we are not. And there is no where to get water between meals and stuff. I had to dry swallow my medicine this mornign which was awful. But today at breakfast they told us we could take juice and cups with us to our rooms so I stole a whole container of grapefruit juic, because it was one of the only ones left). Then we talked to our person in charge and they got us some voda niegazowana, which means regular water. So that will be very good to have.

I feel like this is not a particularly amusing entry, but I was much to tired to put thought behind the words that were flowing out of my brain.
Email me back y'all. FOREALLZZ.

Wow. I hope my flight won't be as horrible as yours. I haven't been on Facebook for like a month and I'm surviving. I think it's a waste of time, actually. Think of all the hours we spend on Facebook, when we could've done something more productive, like... sleeping!

I thought when you said "voda" you meant to type "vodka" and I was like wow, they would rather drink alcohol than water??? Then you said it meant "regular water" and I was disappointed.

Anyway, don't forget to keep posting! It's wonderful to see you having fun and trying new things in a foreign country!!
