History

I encourage you all to watch this short video on Polish history.

Timek

I found out that my Polish name would most likely be Timek.  Neither Tim nor Timothy are Polish names but my teacher said it would be Timek since Tomek is a common Polish abbreviated name for Thomas.  It has been cold.  My sister just informed me that 30 people have died due to the freezing temperatures here in Polska.  I do have to wear 3 sweatshirts in order to NOT become the 31st person.  The snow has made the city pretty 'cool' looking the last few days.  Here are some random photos.

On our walk to the tram to go to biophysics.

The tram lines where we get on No. 13 to head into town.

This weekend will consist of studying for embryology, histology, and some chemistry.  Enjoy the warmth Californians.

More Snow

It snowed like crazy last night and into today.  Pretty cool actually.  Lech Poznan played Juventus yesterday and the game was postponed for a while because it was too cold.  According to UEFA, it is unsafe to play in -18 C weather so they waited until it was -16 C to play.  Lech tied Junventus 1-1.  At halftime they had to change the ball they used as the white one was getting lost in the snow.

Walking to class was pretty cool.  We were the first batch of people making their way through the snow. Many places had a single small track to follow.  Other places had footsteps you had to step in to keep the feet/shoes somewhat dry.  

Today I will study quite a bit, again.
