A year ago, I was finishing out my time in Poland. Reflecting on my experience, all of this is SO ACCURATE. (I wanted to go home so badly, and now I just want to go back. HAAAAAA.)

I still have pictures to put up from my trip here in Poland, but this is my sister's face waiting for me back in America. She says it's her "YOU'RE COMING HOME IN 24 HRS. FACE"

#sisters #sisterly love #coming home #finally

#literally how i feel about everyone on my program right now #except for dylan #dylan is such a nice girl #and far to similar to me to get angry at

This song has been playing constantly as I've been putting off ALL OF THE REFLECTION PAPERS and longing to head back home. Mine is not a one-way ticket, and I'm not taking a train, but so soon I will be west-bound.

#going home soon #so so soon #and i absolutely cannot wait #i just want to be done with these stupid papers and go home and have puppy cuddles and my mom's food

That awkward moment when you don't have the correct change, so the cashier has to round up and give you 5 grosze instead of 3...

And she gets really mad at you. So mad that when you say "excuse me" to try to pay for another last minute item, she blatantly ignores you. BTW, 2 grosze ≤ 1penny... -________________-

#seriously she was so mad #all i was trying to do was pay for a roll of mentos #and she apparently did not want my money #like-- listen i come to your store almost EVERY DAY to buy stuff #WELP NOT ANYMORE #RUUUDE

This made it to the front page on Reddit... it's the inside of a bathroom on a Polish train from yesterday. Yes, it's THAT cold here.

#so fucking cold #way to go poland #BUT it might be better than a hot stinky bathroom with just a hole in the ground to pee through #yes?#warsaw #poland #reddit

This is what I assume Warsaw is going to be like for the rest of the time I'm here.

#snow #snowfall #and so so so cold #warsaw #poland #winter time!#winter weather

My sister just got accepted to her first choice university.

I'm so sad that I can't be there to celebrate with her.

But I am seriously so proud of her.

I'm reminiscing about that moment that I had when I got accepted to my first choice school and how amazing it was. I just wish that I could be at home to share it with her. :(

#little sister #all grown up #i love my sisters so much #can't wait to go home #and hug the shit out of everyone in my family

This is what I look like by the time 4 p.m. rolls around.

#it's so dark #my eyes and my brain think it's bed time #but it never is #but i don't care and i take a nap anyway #it's probably not good to sleep for like 11 hours a day...#OH WELL

Today one of my professors took us out for cake and coffee instead of having class.

And at some point in our conversation, he told us--

"I got arrested in the 1970's. They came into my house and took me away and my family didn't know what had happened to me. They accused me of collaborating with the CIA. I kept saying 'Show me the proof,' and they never could. They held me for three months and then let me go."

Then one of my classmates asked, "So did you work for the CIA?"

And he said, "Of course."

#like who even is this guy!?#and why am i just learning this about him?#he is SO COOL.#and he said he STILL has ties in washington #this is so crazy #warsaw #poland #good day #or great day?

Dylan and I are not amused that upon our arrival to literature class, the professor informed us that the class was cancelled.... again.

#not amused #seriously this is like the tenth time this has happened #and it's complete and utter...#BULLSHIT #literature #poland #warsaw
