Poland

This week in class, I had to present on the country of Poland, actually the country of Poland in Canada. I was so nervous being up presenting like always, it has been a while since I have sweat through my shirt though, that hasn't happened in a long time. I didn't think I did that good of a job, but my friend Chris said I did wicked, he told me that he's seen me grow a lot over the years, and that it was a better job than I did in the past. That boosted my self esteem, I've known these people for 3 years now, and I have no idea why I still get nervous, when I'm not presenting, I'm fine, I can talk to the whole class if were having conversations, even when I'm at Bridging, I can present to the kids no problem, I don't get scared at all.

I was surprised about some of the information, and similarities about Poland I came across. For instance, the part about having an extra place set at the dinner table incase someone drops in, at my house we don't set an extra plate, but people are always welcomed if they show up at dinner time, I think it would be impolite to send them away, I know its "my house" but I wouldn't send them away, even if I didn't have enough food, there has to be something in the fridge that I could whip up in a few minutes. I really respect that people in Poland do this because I think its a nice gesture.

It really surprised when I found out they had nine vowels in there alphabet, this would be me being narrow minded thinking every language was like ours. It was cool learning about their language and they was they speak and pronounce words, like church in english is church but church in polish is spelt "czuma" which is pronounced like "Cuma" I wouldn't mind learning more about their language and maybe even learning to speak some polish.

I learned that concerts and theatre is very big in Poland, which is cool because, I am a music buff, I love all kinds of music, I mean on my MP3 I have Slayer and the next song is Norah Jones, followed by a wide range of greek and spanish dance music, It would be cool to take a trip just to go to concerts for a couple of weeks over there. I think it would be an excellent and great experience to go and see how they perform and what one of their concerts are like.

Till Next Time................
