In ten days I will leave for Wroclaw, Poland and I thought I would post something before I even leave the USA so that I can look back in a year and remember what this felt like.

I leave on the 21st, and it will take me a day and a half to get to Poland. I am really nervous about the flight- I despise air travel. I think I might be more nervous about the flight than about the actual exchange. :)

Wroclaw looks so beautiful- and with a population of 700,000 it will be a completely different living experience for me. I am really nervous about learning the Polish language which consists of a lot of consonants and very few vowels inbetween. I think I will get it eventually (I hope).

I will stay with Marek, Grazyna and Patrycja Szmigiel. Patrycja is my 19 year old host sister. I also have a host brother. I don't know his name, but he will be staying in Cooperstown, NY for a year which is really awesome because I will see him for a few days and I will be able to tell him a lot about upstate New York. Haha. :)

I think the scariest part about this is that I do not know what to expect- and that is really exciting and really frightening at the same time.

I will post something again in a couple of weeks, after I have been in Poland for a few days.
Stay tuned.


Dobranoc! (Goodnight!)
