I'm really excited about several things in particular right now. Number one, I just survived teaching my first two English classes. It feels very good to be alive! Number two, my wonderful friends here in Poland made my life a bit more complete with a birthday gift of J.R.R. Tolkien's Ring Trilogy. Number three, I finally figured out how to type with Polish characters. This means I can type things like Wrocław, Piława, and Częstochowa:)
