Aptekas

I have been blaming Poland for all of my problems lately, which it has been, but how can an entire country not have anything for a runny nose? I guess it's part of that culture shock thing, not very fun. A neat thing is that they have pharmacies called aptekas and their soul purpose is providing medication over the counter. So I didn't have to guess at what I was getting, I just handed over my list of symptoms and she gave me a plethora of goodies. Unfortunately none of them take care of a runny nose. 

What has been fun are the courses I've been taking. For once I am completely interested in the courses I'm enlisted in. I love going to class only one time a week and having the rest of the week to study and figure out what I want to about the course material. It makes me want to study abroad for the rest of my semesters at UNCG. Looking up classes for next semester is making me never want to go home with a class everyday and exams every week and papers every month. Ugh... I wish our system would take on Wroclaw's for erasmus students. 

The girls from Tartu came into town this past weekend. Most of us left town for Prague but it was neat to show them around a little the first night they got in. It made Wroclaw really seem a part of me, like an actual home. Oh yea, Kathleen, student days in Tartu run the week before Russia so I think us Wroclaw students won't be able to attend them. It would mean two trips up to Tartu and I don't think any of us are willing to do that. But we were thinking we'd stay the weekend after we get back from Russia instead to do our Tartu adventure.
