Pierogis!!

The last thing I want to do is blog right now, but I know I'm going to forget everything if I don't!

After walking for a million miles to get back to Hera, we relaxed and tried to go to a cafe in the park which turned out to be a bar. So we just turned around and ate at the restaurant under the hostel. I ordered all in Polish and was very proud of myself. It was a pretty chill night and after doing homework we went to bed really early: 2 am.

Yesterday, the jetlag really hit everyone. Our professor asked me if I was tired because I kept zoning out. Oops. Then computer lab was borderline impossible. We were yelling at each other trying to figure out how on earth we were supposed to code certain things. We finally figured it out (thank god), and then got to go on a two hour walk to go pick up our professors son from preschool and meet our other professors wife. Along the way, I sat on an ant hill and saw an elderly man in a speedo tanning. It was a strange afternoon. Caroline and I were so tired after the day, so we took a "half an hour" power nap, which quickly turned into an hour and a half. Earlier we had bought pierogis, so we fried them up for dinner in my tiny camping frying pan (thank you parents for making me bring that). They were delicious, BTW. We had used part of a bottle of wine to cook our onions in, so naturally we needed to finish it. The other girls decided to go out to bar, while we stayed in and taught our Polish friend how to play kings, ride the bus and tourettes. All in all it was a really fun night, even though France lost to Sweden :(.

Today, our alarm didn't go off. Again. Somehow we managed to get down for breakfast in time and were only 5 minutes late for classes, which wasn't even our fault. Classes weren't too hard today, and we didn't have our second lecture because of individual consultations about our research paper. Mine was early so I got to come home and shower and do dishes, woooooo. My research proposal -because I know you're all dying to know what I'm writing about- is going to focus on the relationship between religiosity and friendship networks and the effects on overall health.

Well I'm going to work on my assignment that's due on Thursday and maybe upload some more pictures to facebook. TTFN.
