Hiiii guyyyys. So, sitting in the Galeria, again. First time in awhile. Enjoying some wonderful Jasmine tea, as I already had ice cream earlier today (one scoop plum, one walnut). (: So last night, some of their neighbors came over and spent some time. They had a child walkie on them as well, to make sure their kid down the street was sleeping all right. xD The dad's are actually godfather's of their respective sons, which is really sweet. ^_^ Really nice people! So it was a nice night, and I just spent it online as well, chatting with Ani and Lisa, which was quite wonderful, as I haven't had that opportunity in awhile. And talking to Jacob about move-in! Oh, you Vandy kids. I can't believe it's been a year since WE did move in. And I sort of can't believe I wasn't there now. I am wonderfully happy where I am, in Poland, but at the same time, I miss my Vandy Muffins and choir. :c Hopefully I can sing in the choir here at Jagiellonski when I get there, but we shall see!
Today, woke up, had breakfast, drew some with Hania; I actually drew her with crayons (I took a picture to share, as well)! Michał flew out to Warsaw today for some business and work stuff. Coming home tomorrow. So Agata, the kids, and I went out to the part of town by the zoo, where there is a fountain that sprays its water along with classical music once an hour. It was really pretty, and incredibly refreshing as it was unfortunately hot today. Supposed to be around 32 degrees Celsius all week. Not. Happy. (Calculate that for yourselves on Google, guys, if you're curious.) So whenever the fountains went up high and sprayed the area around, well, I was happy. The kids really seemed to enjoy it, especially Hania, though she wouldn't leave her poor mother alone to carry her around. Hania tried to play in the kid's fountain. Twice. She never went fully in, but she got undressed and everything for it. The other kids were having an absolute blast. (: Then we went through the Japanese Garden, which was gorgeous. Little streams, a lake, Japanese statues and what not. Enormous koi, smaller carp, ducks. It was fun. The kids also loved it; fought a bit over who would use the camera to take pictures, so Agata was holding onto the hand strap just in case. Really, it was a day of relaxed walking, which is always really good for me, actually. Whenever I have to rush, it tires out my legs quicker, but a leisurely walk, especially since you have to make sure the kids stick close behind, no problem! :D
We had objad at the restaurant. I had some meat pierogi... Which... I got about an hour after ordering... ... Cause they forgot. It was really hectic and unnerving, how bad the service was. Just some sort of miscommunication. I mean, there was a LOT of people there guys. Like, the entrance lines to the zoo. On both sides, going down along the walls, waiting. I took pictures, cause it was insane. Apparently the zoo is good, so I'll go to it at the end of September, when the weather is cooler; perfect for me and the animals, haha. I'll probably go with Michał and Agata and their kids, since the kids wanted to go. But yes, back to the restaurant. I found out I like Gorgonzola, which is a cheesy sort of pasta sauce. So that's good for future reference. We also ordered ice cream, but... can you believe we waited nearly 30 minutes for it, and then they still messed up the kids orders? So we were just like -_- Give us the receipt, and we'll leave now, thank you. And we did. Hania asked when they would go back to the fountain, and Agata said at night, when there are pretty colors lighting it up as well. (: Instead, we went to another Galeria, Pasaż Grundwalski, and that's where we had our ice cream. Hania was wiped out, and you could tell by how slowly she was eating her ice cream. Antoni ate all of his. Oh, the two of them got little blow-up dolls; Hello Kitty and a sword. Seriously, wonderful mother. xD But yeah. It was good. We went to my apartment to drop off some of my stuff and to show the kids where their parents used to live. Antoni said he didn't remember living there; of course not, he was two. The two of them, though, didn't want to leave. And they didn't want to drop me off. xD They wanted me to stay longer and what not. Really sweet <3
So after that, they dropped me off in front of the Galeria I'm at now, and we said good bye. We planned to meet with each other in two weeks; next weekend off to my aunt's and uncle's and to my nephew's baptism. The following, back to them. I'm liking this. A lot xD It's so nice to have people to go visit on the weekends and change things up. (: Really enjoyable. Oh yes, and today, the kids were whining quite a bit, actually. But it still didn't bother me. I understood, they are kids. The end. It happens. Life moves on, and it's wonderful. And in the car, Antoni kept "stabbing" me with his blow-up sword. :P So I kept trying to grab it and what not. Good fun xD
Anyways, exciting news! I might be going to the first event at the Euro Cup stadium. It's going to be... Wait for it, wait for it... A monster truck rally. Yes, guys, that's right. Monster trucks. This is really the first time they'll be in Poland, but I saw an advertisement for one, and immediately recognized Grave Digger. xD Now, you see, I'm actually really really hoping I can go, but that's not up to me. Now, why in the world would I go to a monster truck rally? Well, ya see, as a kid, my neighbor, Brice, was into monster trucks. And we would play with his monster truck toys and watch the events on TV and play games and what not about monster trucks. So it's part of my childhood, and it would just be so awesome to go see this thing live. And in Poland. Such an intertwining of my life right there. So we'll see how it goes. I hope it works out. (: You know you're from the South when... your childhood consists of NASCAR, monster trucks, and football... Not all of it, obviously, but three significant things in my childhood, hahahaha.
Also! I have determined I am a Southern girl... ... Southern Polish girl that is, pssssssh. Dolny Śląsk and Śląsk all the way, guys. All the way! Seriously. I'm loving Wrocław. I am falling in love. I hate big cities in America, but I love them in Poland. This city is wonderful, has so much history, sooooo much to do. I really could see myself living here or in one of the smaller cities near by, cause those are awesome too. Ah, so happy. <3 (My poor parents... moved away from this exact area, and here I am, dreaming of living here.) I think that's where I'll end my daily entry! Soon, I'll go home, eat some kolacja, write a bit more of my story (which I'm actually incredibly proud of so far, guys... I really feel like I'm pulling out some emotions and important points in it, and I don't think that often, sooo, yeah! Yay for some self-confidence in my writing!), and sleep. Then off to another day of work! Hopefully, it'll finally be a full, uninterrupted week. xD
Allo one and all! I, Nell, a student from Vanderbilt University, will be keeping records of my adventures abroad in Poland right here! So you may amuse yourself and read all about my days. If you know me, this will also give you some assurance that I am alive and well, and loving life. :) Enjoy my logs!
