Bye bye blackbird

Tonight was pretty awesome. I’m not sure, but I could be drunk and getting drunker as this post progresses. Is drunker a word? More drunk? I think it’s more drunk.

I was hanging out in the rynek with a handful of other volunteers. We had some dinner and drinks. The bars here are so cool. They’re cellar bars – I’ve written about them before. You have to duck your head when you go inside because the doorways are low and the steps are uneven. I guess the steps being uneven wouldn’t really make you have to duck your head, but it’s fun either way.

I’m writing this post so that I can stay up late and thus sleep in late tomorrow. You see, I have nothing to do tomorrow. No lesson plans to make, no work to do. Maybe I’ll do one last load of laundry and pack up the remainder of my things. Hopefully my suitcase doesn’t go over the weight limit but I have a bad feeling about it.

Today Agnieszka and I made pierogi ruskie from scratch. It took forever and we were both sweating by the end of it, but my god if they weren’t delicious. It’s pretty easy to make except for the dough part. Let’s make some when I get home.

There was another outdoor concert tonight and it was really fun and awesome. They even sang some songs in English, including Bye Bye Blackbird. I sang along! I know the lyrics because that was one of the songs I used to play over and over again when I was taking piano lessons from Ryan Mueller’s grandma. At the end of the concert, there was a New Orleans style parade around the rynek and we got sucked in, singing and dancing our way around the square. It was so much fun! I wish you guys could have been there with me. I got some pictures but haven’t bothered to see how they turned out. I guess I’ll find out in the morning.

Thank goodness for spell check! Can you imagine me doing an Edna Krabappel-style laugh right now? It would be best if I had some drambuie too and was throwing my head back and had a massive overbite and a yellow head.

My class was so sweet today. We made friendship bracelets and they asked if I have Facebook but I said no, I am too cool for that shit, and sorry but until their coolness level breeches mine we will never be able to be friends. Just kidding, I didn’t really say that. I did give them my street address though, but I didn’t write my full name. They gave me this plaque thing and my last name was spelled wrong, so I felt bad writing my full name out for my address because then they’d see that they messed up the plaque and feel bad.

I really don’t feel like flossing right now. What do you think? Should I do it? Does it count if I do it in the morning?

See your beautiful faces in just a few hours!
