Tuesday

Been busy, especially today.  Had anatomy and Polish class til this evening.  I mixed in a little gym and threw some food together.  I'm supposed to go to the library to teach some Norwegian girls anatomy.  I got a new membership to the gym for 300zl.  Not too bad.  I read in my phrase book how to say month, I forgot that from class.  I entered and said hello I'd like 3 months please and he said skad jestes (where am I from)  I answered jestem z amerykii.  He asked again because he wasn't sure what I said so I answered again the same.  He then asked in English where I was from and I said America.  He thought I was Polish and heard me correctly but thought I didn't hear him because he didn't think I was American.  He said my Polish was really well and he thought all this time (3 months of going to that particular gym) that I was Polish.  He said I looked European.  We then had a nice conversation in English.  He asked what I thought of Polish people.  I said they were really nice and other things and he said that most Polish people think that they come off as very cold.  I agreed, but I wasn't about to tell this huge Polish guy that initially.  It was a nice complement that I didn't stand out too much and it makes sense that people speak to me often in Polish and are surprised that I don't understand them.

My new warm clothes are awesome, along with the coffee maker, cutting board, pot/pans, hot sauce, etc etc..

Dinner is over, must head to the library.
