Shower Bath

So my host family, in the bathroom that I am to use does not have a shower curtain. There is a shower head. But not shower curtain. Apparently I am supposed to take baths. I have no idea how to take baths. Like at all. It is awkward and involves me making a huge mess of the bathroom and not really feeling clean when I am done. I hope my next host family ahs a shower.

There are 3 volunteers teaching at my school and about 20 students needing to be taught. Anyway, that is definitely not enough for 3 classes, so me anr Reid (other volunteer) are teaming up to teach the pre-intermediate class. Which is the suckier class to have because the other class is upper-intermediate and knows english much better. We talked about family trees today and divorce being common in america and creating weird family situation. They want us to teach one class for three hours everyday, which is ridiculously long, so we are teachign 2 hours and saying people can stop by for extra help after class if they want. No one wants.

Yesterday we were hoarded onto a bus with our host siblings and people from the science camp to go on a field trip the science camp was going on. We went to a tower in the middle of the forest, and then to a wooden village and then we off roaded in the bus to a place where we had an ognisko. The kielbasa was better at this one than the other one. I managed to fall off a bench and stick my elbow in a puddle of ketchup at the ognisko, so all in all it was a sucess. Then we went to another museum and then we went home. I was very tired by the end. Also i felt sick last ngiht. I guess the kielbasa did not agree with me.

Today we walked home from school (40 min, i am going to be in such good shape by the end of this) and go ice cream on the way.Reid walked with my host sister and I because he lives 5 minutes away and his host sister is not in our class. I feel bad because my host sister has to wait around for me everywhere, like after class and stuff and when i just want to talk to reid and julie because i know them and they speak english. But yes, my host sister taught reid how to say "hey baby" and "hows it going baby" in polish to the hot girls in the street. Before he had just been saying hi and she told him they probably thought he was stupid.

Its weird staying with a host family, just like you know how when youa re a guest at someones house and you feel awkward like you are interrupting the rhythms of their and the familys life with your prescence. That is kind of how i feel, plus there is a language barrier. I know that if I was the host I would be happy to act how my host family is acting and not feel weird at all, but I guess taht is just how it is.

I totally knew Spain won the Eurocup. I watched Torres score a goal yo. I spent the whole time I watched trying to figure out which team was hotter. I decided they were both mediocre. The goalie for Spain was pretty attractive though.

ok. I am gonna go email people now, so email me.
adios.
