Photo shoot

Would you like to see the team? We had ourselves a little photo shoot at our weekly meeting and here's the fruit of our photographic labor:



Ok, so maybe I went a little Photoshop crazy on it, but I'm excited! And I'm going to be in complete tech withdraw by the time May 20 rolls around.

Excitement building...

Is this really happening!? I'm going to be in Poland for a month! Oooohh excitement.

I was able to attend Club 29's Rotary meeting a few weeks ago and what a pleasure it was to meet everyone. So many Rotarians approached me eager to hear more about our trip. I'm sure I'll have more than enough to share with them upon our return!

I've been doing a lot of reading on Poland and after every reading session I'm starving. Pierogis, keilbasa, packzi... food coma heaven. After reading Eat Smart in Poland, I'm definitely buying pants with elastic waistbands.

Excitement building...

Baby Steps

As I sit here, my iTunes is importing Teach Yourself Polish Conversation and I'm thinking a lot about my coming adventure. The word is out about Poland and people in the Rotarian community are approaching me at work functions about the GSE trip. "You'll speak to my club when you get back???" they ask with an eager tone.

Its encouraging to see other people excited for me as I try to convert this trip from a possibility to a certainty in my head. I'm fearful that if I get too excited about it, it will :::poof::: away. So, for now, I'm just learning Polish for fun. No reason really. Always wanted to know Polish.

Don't make eye contact with the 1-month life experience to Poland, lest I scare it away. Whistling with my hands in my pockets...
