Bet I Can Bore You More

So Dawn claims that she's being boring going on endlessly about her "mid-life crisis." I am not currently experiencing a crisis so I can't talk about that but I keep having really vivid dreams that are now inspiring me to be boring.

Last night (actually this morning between 5:30 and 6:30), I had this dream where I ended up in Poland with no luggage. I couldn't figure out whether I had left it on the plane or whether I had simply not brought any along in the first place. Anyway, my host family came to pick me up and brought along my mom's cousin's child whom I have met exactly twice. The last time I saw him was two years ago. The reason he was there was extremely convoluted so I won't describe it. The main thing that disturbed me about this dream was that Danuta was speaking English better than I could (her English is terrible) and I could barely get out a word in Polish.

Because of this horrifying lack of Polish speaking ability, I am now going to embark on a self-taught six week crash course in Polish to increase my fluency and remember basic grammatical rules. That way I won't sound like an idiot when I'm buying mittens. Today I will begin with basic declensions. These will be posted on my blog so that I can review them and all my studies daily. I'm sure all three readers will be extremely entertained by it all.
