The Mundane

This is for you, dad :)

There are 7 american students on the trip and 4? polish, I'm still a little hazy about the number of people. Tom is the only Polish student who has been hanging out with us. We get breakfast in the hotel every morning (woo free food) and the kawa is amazing, don't worry mom, I'm cutting back on my caffeine while I'm here. There are two guys and six girls. Two professors, one is Polish and the other Romanian. Maciek (i think thats how you spell his name) is teaching us statistics and Polish history. Irina is teaching us the practical data analysis part of the course. The food has been amazing, I did try some sausage, which was actually really delicious. Caroline is my roommate, our room is pretty nice actually and we've been splitting food in our mini fridge to pack lunches. The internet connection at the hostel, Hera, blows. The classes are interesting, but I have a feeling they're going to get pretty hard. Pierogis are the BOMB.COM. I'm trying to restrain myself so I don't get fat on this trip but good god they're delicious. Polish beer is really tasty too. One of my shoes broke, so I'm going to do a little shopping this week. The area by the hostel is super lame, but Midtown, where the school is is gorgeous. Old town is my favorite place so far. The stadium looks like the one from the quidditch world cup. It lights up on the sides and is insanely cool. Basically Poland is awesome. I'm not really sure why so many people make fun of it.
