Then there's me...

           Well, today was a slow day, to be honest. Which is always good after some busy days. (: You see, we started off with a nice meeting on housing. Very informative, actually, although, I still understood most of the conversions and was very proud of myself when I could help Piotrek explain/figure out our laundry machine. Bwahahaha! I do learn, you guys! Eventually, our apartment went to grab some pierogi; I got a mix plate, and then they headed off for the bike tour, and I headed home. I mean, I could've done the double bike, but a) I'd feel bad for whoever would have to peddle and b) I'd still have to peddle, so it really wouldn't be a break for my legs. Which... unfortunately, are still sore. /: Not good at all. I've managed to go nearly two months without really ruining my legs! And then now. They're shot. As in, it was tough to fall asleep. Hahahaha, speaking of sleep! My roomie asked me if I knew I sleep talk. Whoops! I forgot to mention that... The hilarious part is that my roomie back at Vandy, Sam, she never heard me sleep talk, and yet first night here, my roomie hears me. I wish I knew what I was talking about...
           Regardless, I spent the afternoon relaxing, and when they came back, we headed out for groceries. Which, honestly, was very unsuccessful. I bought a lot of things, but... not nearly enough. Like, I left the grocery store, and I immediately thought of at least three things I forgot. Although, after a certain point, I couldn't really comfortably carry my bag (I bought potatoes....) and the rule here is you buy what you can carry, essentially. And it was very crowded, as most people do groceries on the weekend. So tomorrow, I return! Wooo!
           Today, I also realized just how independent and flexible I truly am. People are having a difficult time adjusting to the time or to the food and what not, for me, I didn't need a full day. I was a-ok right off the bat. That and I go off and do whatever. Then there's the fact I'm very... long-term schedule ridden. I don't mind spontaneity, at all, but... when it comes to the long run, I want to know what's going on. I feel so bad for Piotrek, cause every day I've nagged him about the Polish courses... I just want to know what my options might be so I know what to prepare myself for, ya know? I don't like this not having a schedule thing... I have most of it, but... still. And same with my Polish language course! I won't know until next week, after I'm placed in a class, and after the class meets. Argh. But what can I do?
           Plan my trips across Europe, of course! Haha, no really, in my free time, I went all over the internet, looking for hostels, flights, trains, buses, sight-seeing ideas for all of the places I plan on going to. Very helpful. (: I've added Dublin to my list since Michelle is planning on going, and it's always better to travel in groups! Plus, I've always wanted to go to Ireland.
           I came to another realization today. I'm a very odd person, in general. Most people in Europe want to go to the hotspots, such as Rome, Paris, or London. Then there's me... ... Honestly, I've been thinking that a lot lately. A typical example, followed by: Then there's me... xD
           Anyways, that's all I really have to say about today! Everyone else went out to town, and I decided to relax today, especially since my legs are still bothering me. You see... we're going to Wieliczka Salt Mine tomorrow... which... sort of requires a lot of walking. So I really am trying my hardest to save my legs for that reason. And so that I can get to school comfortably. That's my main worry, right now. But for now, I'll finish off here! (: Enjoy your days, everyone! I know I'm enjoying mine!
