Exploits of Whimsy

06 February 2007

The rain in Poland falls mainly all winter.

Except when it snows. Which it happens to be doing right now, sort of. For the second time only this winter total. Impressive.

I'm sorry I've been such an arse with updating this silly thing since...November. November ended well...Julia went home (which I might have mentioned), and then I settled in for the last few weeks before Christmas. Christmas was spent in spectacular fashion in Inverness, Scotland with some dear friends and more food than is good for any one person to eat in a lifetime. I came back to Krakow for New Years, which involves a lot of crazy stories I don't have the energy to write about here now.

Life in February is good. I just finished all of my papers and exams, and finished them well, if I do say so myself. I got the highest possible mark in my Anthropology of Social Pluralism class, which made me very happy, as it was also a very difficult class worth 8 ECTS points...which is a lot. Finished Polish class with a solid grade as well, in spite of my constant boredness in that class. And the others went swimmingly as well. Am currently trying to find an American History course and a religion course in Polish that CCU will accept so I can fricking graduate. Ha ha.

I miiiiight be having to spend next fall at CCU taking courses to finish...but I sincerely hope not. I want to be done. That and money. Don't have that much of that.

In other news, I am going to Germany on Thursday for a week and a half with my new boyfriend. Yeah, boyfriend. He is from Germany. Really great guy, and I'm rather ecstatic. Anyway, it should be a fun trip, because I will get to see a couple other German friends from last year. Following that adventure, I will meet up with my good friend Jordan in Berlin, and we are going to traipse around Poland for a bit before my second semester begins. A big hurrah for that.

That is about all the biggest news. I think I'm going to go watch Braveheart.
