Relaxing Day

Hello!

Today can definitely be defined as a "lazy Sunday."  I woke up at 10am and hung out for a little while.  Breakfast was at 11am; we had lunch meat, bread, pancakes with cream inside (like crepes), and cheese.  It was delicious!

Then, Izabela and I went to mass at 1pm.  There were two babies getting baptized today.  It was pretty interesting.  I had no idea what was going on, even though the mass was Catholic.  I knew when some parts were, but pretty much was confused the whole time.  Izabela and I looked at my Polish phrase book after church while we waited for Muni to pick us up.  I learned how to say "We were in church."  Except I forget it now.  hahahaha.

Then we had obiad (lunch) around 4pm--chicken (kurczak), broccoli, and potatoes.  Again, it was DEEEE--licious!!! They feed me SO much food, then keep giving me more food.  They think I eat very little...I don't understand it!  I eat so much! Culture shock much?  And that's just the food aspect.

I've been watching Glee so much this weekend....and honestly I feel kinda guilty about it.  I feel like I should be out experiencing Europe...and Poland...and culture! And adventure!  But I'm so tired, and feel homesick, and overwhelmed and isolated by language.  I love it here in Poland, but it's also very different.  I'm still getting used to being here.  I can't believe I start teaching tomorrow!  I'm excited but terrified at the same time.  I feel like I have no information to go from...how will I communicate with 8-9 year olds that don't speak English?  How can I possibly teach them anything if they don't understand me?!

I'll figure something out, but until tomorrow, I'll just plan my lesson the best I can and go for it.

Love,
Katie
