Week 5, 6, 7, and Part of 8 recap with photos :-D

In case you haven't noticed, I've been slacking on putting pictures. So out of guilt and boredom here are some photos and anecdotes to help you further procrastinate your workday:-D

Week 5: Welcome to Camp Białe
I was unofficially with the village students of Stanin, but we went camping for one week. Here are some of the highlights :-)
My roommates- the lovely Natalia and Carolina were the artists behind our unique door decor.

These little ones (Ewa & Jullia) attended my primary classes while at camp


Even the Polish Karaoke computer didn't show me sympathy 

We decided to do a lil' cruising :-)


So the next couple of pictures capture my camp initiation since this was my first time attending.

Group shot :-)

So because of this lake jump I had a sprained ankle shortly after- YOLJO (You only lake jump once it seems)

I had to sit out on this cool adventure park thanks to my ankle.
Part of the initiation, I don't just randomly kiss Polish people on their feet.


My pitty shot of my cast and I lol.
I became a regular at this Zapiekanka shop. They had tasty tea too!

Week 6: Back to Stanin
So there aren't many pictures, but I was quite busy in my defense. I cooked :-D

And I ate blueberries.

Sunset by the forest

I learned to make Nalesniki (probably misspelled) 

This cat was prego and such a cutie during my stay with my host family

I baked banana bread

I cooked enchiladas...

Oh and I made breakfast :-)

Week 7: Zagoździe
 I found my time here to be great. The students, staff, and teachers were beyond amazing.
 I started my weekend off in Warsaw. I saw a soccer match, did some sightseeing, taught, 
and later in the week I baked again :-)





The fans sung the WHOLE time lol


My lovely students- Middle school

Elementary
Someone finally spelled my name correctly- my students :-D

I had a chance to reunite with my first host dad for a game of soccer. End result- two goals
 and too many mosquitoes.

I stepped out for a bit and my student surprised me with some sweet
 messages on my last day there :-)

Just like home lol

I kept telling her to smile, but she kept saying we needed to work faster lol.

Week 8: Sarnow


Second day in Sarnow, 5th host family

Life is good and Poland is great!

Four more days in Poland and then I'm back home. All I can say is WOW! 
I'm certainly looking forward to these next couple of days. I'll keep you posted. 
Have a great Monday/Tuesday folks!
