Na zdrowie!: November 2008
http://theseredshoes.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Sunday is becoming my favoritest day. How did November just slip away? I'm glad to get one more post in here, so it looks like I'm not totally ignoring my blog. I know how I keep saying that I should update about all the less obvious things and changes happening in my life, but I'm not sure what keeps me from it. A full time job may. And should I have shared all this here? One final thing that nearly ruined my near ...

Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Tuesday, September 16, 2008. Dear Friends and Others,. I am still alive.

Fear not for plenty of exciting things have been happening in the Sarosphere, so stay tuned. :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hamilton Heights/Harlem, NYC. Pan Andrzej w USA.

Na zdrowie!: February 2008
http://theseredshoes.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Friday, February 22, 2008. To repeat what someone once told me, "I like this life", Part I. Poland - Belgium - Spain - The Netherlands - Polish B 1.1. Thus is the flowchart illustrating my past few weeks. When I step back for a minute and really look at what I have been doing and all of the opportunities I have had while living here, I can finally appreciate the decision I have made. So my little day trip to Kielce. A walk in the woods. NOW I...

Na zdrowie!: May 2008
http://theseredshoes.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Thursday, May 29, 2008. What it was all leading to. It all happened too fast and was all too brief. I laid out an ambition plan: Kraków to Toruń, Toruń to the villages and pure Kashubian countryside, on to nearby Bytów (Winona's "Sister City"), Bytów to Gdańsk, Gdańsk to Malbork, and home again home again jiggety jig. Of course I was slightly nervous about all the aspects of traveling alone - would I be lonely, would I be safe? I know more no...

Na zdrowie!: October 2008
http://theseredshoes.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Monday, October 20, 2008. Dream a Little Dream. By Saturday night, I thankfully still had the stomach for my first, epic entry into the world of. competitive baking! That's right, I entered an apple pie baking contest. As if I were a 4-H -er! For some reason I really wanted to give it a go and to get some outside validation on my growing gourmand ego. Turns out my first ever entirely from scratch pie was a semifinalist! There is a Catholic ch...

Na zdrowie!: July 2008
http://theseredshoes.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Sunday, July 27, 2008. What lovely timing, just when I am really missing Poland and Europe, that this article. I am so happy that I made it to this beautiful city. It was definitely one of my favorite weeks of the entire year; the Trójmiasto, coupled with the journey to my family's villages, northern Poland is fantastic. Take me back. Monday, July 21, 2008. What’s in a name? Now that I am returned from my year in Poland, I can thankfully say ...

Na zdrowie!: Pączki tally = 6
http://theseredshoes.blogspot.com/2009/02/paczki-tally-6.html
Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Pączki tally = 6. It's taken a couple not so gentle reminders from Annie for me to get on the ball and post before the end of February. As always, I find it difficult to even begin to catch up. Let's just say that my one February goal –to learn all of the words to House of Pain's "Jump Around"– has not yet been accomplished. The clock is ticking, yo. Congrats Fave Bro on Lil' Mason! On March 8 DreamHome#1 will ho...

Na zdrowie!: Memory Lane, all covered in snow
http://theseredshoes.blogspot.com/2008/11/memory-lane-all-covered-in-snow.html
Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Thursday, November 20, 2008. Memory Lane, all covered in snow. Of course now I am all wrapped up in the business of looking at old pictures. Here is a look at how much snow there was on the ground already on this day in Kraków. And in Chicago, nothing more that a few minute-long flurries. Oh, and I'm going to Krakow for a wedding in January. Eeep! November 20, 2008 at 10:55 PM. November 21, 2008 at 11:22 AM.

Na zdrowie!: April 2008
http://theseredshoes.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Tuesday, April 22, 2008. One of my goals in coming to Poland this year was to climb a little bit through my family tree. I'm not really sure what exactly I want to accomplish, but I at the very least want to see Kashubia and breathe the Northern Polish air. It sounds like "ch" at the end rather than "ts".) At long last, all the suspicions of skeptical Poles here and at home have been realized. :). The first line in the description is:. I know...

Na zdrowie!: June 2008
http://theseredshoes.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Experiences in "Język i Kultura w Chicago" and other thoughts. Friday, June 27, 2008. The following was written 25 June 2008, en route to Chicago:. New York disappointed me. First of all, not only had Kelly already moved to San Francisco after I had agreed to stop in NYC specifically to see her and Meg, but the city also turned out to be too much for me, too many people, too noisy, too much space. It was of course all familiar, but being there felt in no way like the homecoming I was expecting. Of course...
