Tuesday at school the children presented a play about Poland's way to independence. Of course it was in polish but they did a really good job; I actually got a lot out of it. And they sang a lot of polish songs and it was so beautiful I was almost in tears. Also a lot of the kids were dressed up very nicely and also in red and white, creating a particularly patriotic atmosphere. Go Poland!
I missed polish lesson on that day but it didn't stop me from studying (even if I did rather soon get distracted by watching a movie). I'm doing my best anyway and some time ago I even bought a real schoolbook to help. Like I probably mentioned before, our polish teacher pani Pola is so sweet and awesome but she doesn't speak any english; some of the grammar rules are sometimes a tiny bit hard to understand and most of the rules are actually just exceptions. Anyway, I all the time find myself asking the question Why would you make things this complicated? (To jest jęnzyk polski, "that's polish language", would pani Pola answer to this).
I've been really confused about the weather lately. It has gone really zimno really fast and still we have these sunny warm middays; through all this expectedly I got sick. So now I really need to manage by myself -for the first time I actually just can not call mom to bring me chocolate from the shop or make me some tea. But I will fight these germs with positive thoughts and optimistic attitude, although I can not go to work tomorrow, which is making me kind of sad and frustrated for being so unoccupied and sitting at home all day (honestly even though I get frustrated I secretly love spending my time like this from time to time). Today at school was absolutely lovely even though I felt the sickness crawling into my system, but the children were on their super sweet little humans -mode. They make me feel special.
I'm going to miss polish lesson again tomorrow and I feel a little bit guilty and afraid I would fall too much behind. I don't worry about that too much though because I just don't want to make the mistake of not resting and just getting even sicker. Especially when I have some cool plans for the weekend.
Just to add a little happiness and sunshine to this post and these dark november nights; here's our very own little sunshine from the on-arrival training from Warsaw couple weeks ago. He's Kacper, the son of our trainers and training us in his own way; being such a big personality and brightening up our days. I don't know if I really need to specify but I'm talking about the one without the beard.
