So, I just moved, maybe 20 minutes ago, to my final host family. There are several plusses and minuses to this situation.
The Positives
1. Computer with internet access in my room.
2. My new host brother is on the Polish Junior National Volleyball team. Thats right. He's a teammate of my future husband. And supposedly he speaks english (host brother). But He also had to carry my ridiculously heavy bag up the stairs so I don't know how disposed he is to have friendly feelings towards me.
The Negatives
1. My new house is a million years away from Karol and Asia. bleh.
2. I just don't feel like doing the whole starting over with a new family thing again. It requires a lot of pushing myself to be outgoing and come out of my shell. And im just kind of tired and just want to go back to America.
But I am and will be ok. After all it is only 2 more weeks. And really only a week and a half left in Ostroleka and Asia promised me we would hang out everyday. So it should be ok.
In other news, I went to Warsaw this weekend. Asia and I stayed with her older sister who is a student/english teacher there. It was pretty fun. I saw the new batman movie, which was very intense. and long. By th end I was pretty exhausted just from having to be so alert the whole time.
So one additional funny story for the road.
Yesterday, I ate scrambled eggs. without bread. Wait, it gets better. The other day, Reid ate 2 leftover chops. without bread. Isnt that ridiculous. Ok, so. Apparently this is ridiculous. So ridiculous in fact that my host sister has been telling this story to random people and earning wide eyes of shock in respose. In Poland, you do not eat without bread. The reason I ate the scarmbled eggs without the bread was that Asia's sisters boyfriend had eaten all the bread. and it was suppertime, and this caused a crisis. Because they had no idea what we could eat if we didnt have any bread. Asia ended up eating cereal and I was going to too, but her sister had made really good scrambled eggs the night before, so I asked if I could have them again. After explaining that Americans do, on occasion eat scrambled eggs without bread, I got my scrambled eggs, but since then, Asia has been telling everyone this story.
