I guess the main reason I so enjoy doing laundry, and dishes, and cleaning, etc. is because it just makes me feel so normal. and normalcy is good. Especially after these…how to call it…. turbulent, ‘trials and tribulation’ type times. I don’t quite know how to explain, but it just feels soothing or whatever to realize ( Read more... ) -

I’m all moved in to my own apartment . It’s lovely! Very spacious. Two rooms (well 3 if you count the bathroom….actually, 4, if you count the big closet!). And I especially like the location. Right in the center of Katowice. Close to work (10 min. walk for me) and lots of shops and restaurants nearby. And several bus ( Read more... ) -

I learned some new polish vocabulary(which I don’t know how to spell): boli, loot, guave, pletsa, poopa (pain, ice, head, back, butt). Yep, it’s the hospital experience. I slipped on some ice right outside the office building Monday last week (27th of February) after the first day of ( Read more... ) -

I was just considering again how perfectly everything has come together. Previously I wrote about what a miracle it was that I made a friend with whom I am able to stay for two weeks until the “perfect” apartment is ready for me to move in.

Getting lost in Katowice. It’s a part of my day to day life here : ) (well, for the past 2 days that I’ve had to find my way to and from work). luckily I’m still in a very happy, optimistic mode so even getting lost is quite a fun “adventure!” No seriously. I actually like every part ( Read more... ) -

o what a perfect day!
Posted on February 18, 2012
Freaking perfect first day in Poland! O man! It already started out great because I’d read in my guide book that Poles don’t smile at strangers - its considered a sign of stupidity - So I was thinking: “ok, guess I’ll be seen as the town idiot then

I'm as smart as God wants me to be
I keep reminding myself of that statement (the title of this journal entry) that I'm as smart as I'm supposed to be. But still, I wish I was as smart as I used to be :( which apparently I'm not anymore. I had to take a stupid IQ type test for a job I was applying to. I wasn't even all that nervous because as far as I remember, last time I took one ( Read more... )
