hello???

Ok, so I've posted pictures and written posts and I am so surprised that I haven't gotten any comments to my posts - I am so sad! Ok, seriously, I really love hearing from you all so feel free to post as many comments as it'll take.

I leave for Poland on Monday (actually am heading to Venice on Monday afternoon and then onto Vienna, Prague and finally Krakow where I will stay for a couple days) and am sad to leave, though it will be nice to get to some cooler weather - it's been so bloody hot and humid here all week. Our apartment is almost unbearably hot and sleeping has become very difficult (on top of it already being a little difficult because of my crazy, vino-induced dreams).

Tomorrow I have finals and will turn in my huge and horrible paper on establishing an income tax in WA and analysis on the best system to implement to fall in line with principles of social justice. Riveting, I know. I'm considering printing off copies of it for Christmas gifts - ha!

Anyway, I must get back to work so I can finally be done with schoolwork for the year. Miss you all and sending my love!

  1. Hello! I can't believe you're already taking finals, insane. Venice may be my favorite Italian city. Jeanette Winterson wrote a book called The Passion that sums it up, she describes how when your in Venice, your touching God with one hand, and the Devil with the other. Go see the bridge of Sighs!

  2. Good luck! I know you'll knock 'em dead. I know this is a wonderful experience and all, but really I just miss you and want you to come home. I still hope you have a wonderful time in Poland though and just so you know I am expecting a souvenir of your journey and it better not be a school paper. Love you!

  3. Yeah, I can't believe I'm taking finals either. Just had my first one, it was totally bizarre. Have another in a couple hours. Ugh.

    Lizard - what would you like me to bring you? Has to be small since I only have my backpack :)

  4. Jo, if you have the time please go to the polish art museums and take pictures, if possible of Jan Mateliko's art work. He's my favorite Eastern European artist and you'd probably enjoy the rich context of his works as well.

  5. I don't think they'll allow pictures, but I could be wrong. I will try.
