Camp Day 1 as told by Will Just

Cześć, Will here.

            Soon I will fall asleep only to be awakened by angry polish drunks and the inflow of cigarette smoke through my window. Besides that and the fact that Joel snores like a freight train, life is good here on the other side of the pond. I mean its like day five and I have yet to discover this terrible thing called jet lag everyone keeps complaining about. Honestly if anyone could tell me what it is I would appreciate it. In addition the food is amazing and I could eat the breakfasts here for the rest of my life.  Such is the life in Poland. Walking the cobblestone streets, being the loudest in a mile radius, we have fun here. Unfortunately they have yet to discover the joy of a multi-shot espresso beverage and the magical, medicinal qualities such a drink entails. Guess I’ll stick to caffeinated tea. I’m sorry but I have to mention it again; Joel really does snore loud. I’m glad I have my music to drown it out

But to take a more serious note the times here have been great.  Today we have experienced our first day of English camp, which was a lot of fun. I am teaching the intermediates and in doing so I discovered how hard it is to teach it really is. As I watched of the blank, bored faces, I thought to myself do they get it, do they understand. But as they slowly warmed up to Patti and I, I began to see the value. The fun. The fruits of our labor were slowly revealing themselves. As we ate lunch and then had another lesson with our class I found myself enjoying it. Then closer to the end we had a praise and worship session in which I played along with several members of my team and the Polish team. We sang praises in English and Polish and prayed in both as well. Then we had a theme night; America night. This particular theme night we the American classic- PB&J. And it was a blast. We ended with having dinner and discussion with the Polish side of our team. 

And that’s about it. 

Catch you on the flippity flip
