Time flies…

I know, I know. It’s been, like, two months since I posted one single thing. I hope you’ll forgive me! The holidays really got blogging out of my routine, and it seems like life has just been go-go-going since then. It’s not that I didn’t expect to eventually find blogging difficult, but I hope to get back to it all regular-like soon. :)

Right now I can post this brief, unsatisfying look at what I’ve been doing. But I seriously have tons of ideas/questions/perspective changes/potential blogs swirling around in my head and in files on my compie. I don’t know how many blog posts I’ve started, only to pause to try to figure out how to be coherent, and then never come back to them. I intend to post a philosophical, long-winded, question-filled post soon! Lucky you! In the meantime…

Things I’ve tried since the New Year…

-Taking a sleeper train. Not so bad!

- Visiting Germany! Shoutout Heidelberg!

-Dancing salsa with a Latin man. (Shoutout Roberto! Really sad you won’t be in class anymore! But hope you can still make it to hangout sometimes.) Hopefully if I get to repeat this experience, I’ll do better next time. I wasn’t very good. :)

-Zumba. Coralanne, I need you to get back in town! I forgot how to go to the gym by myself! Not really, but it’s nice to have a partner. :)

-Ringing in the New Year with incredulity due to massive amounts of inebriated people shooting off immense fireworks. Seriously? It sounded like a war movie.

-Traveling with Theresa. Such fun! Let’s do it again, shall we?

-Traditional Polish dish bigos, and traditional Polish beverage grzane piwo. Shoutout Christina and Edward! Thanks for a fantastic day!

-Visiting Warsaw. See previous item. :)

-A sauna. Sitting in a room at 80C? It’s not THAT cold here.

-Jogging… jury’s still out on that one.

-Standing on a lake. The second time it looked more frozen, so I even walked out on it a little!  People were riding bikes on it. And by “it”, let’s not forget, I mean a LAKE. Weird!

-Hailing a cab. 15 złoty well-spent.

-Learning about WWII. I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau. 1.3 million people were held captive. One million one hundred thousand of them were killed. This is part of why I can’t come up with a coherent, thoughtful blog post. How does one process Auschwitz?

-Visiting Kraków. Or, as it’s apparently written in English, Cracovia. But I’m going to keep writing Krakow, probably. Sorry, T.

-A totally unnecessary tram or bus on a Sunday afternoon.

-Taking advantage of the freeness of Poznań’s museums on Saturdays.

-Mystery Dinner Party! Yay!

-Wearing my woefully neglected dresses while still in Polish winter. I discovered why it’s not so unreasonable to see girls in skirts, hose, and boots that altogether seem to leave a lot of leg exposed to cold. Because they wrap their head and neck so well, it actually isn’t too cold, I think. Still looks funny, though.

-Cooking dry beans. Totally easy. And yum! Black beans!!

 

No wonder time has been flying. Just look at all that fun!
