Dan in Poland - Dan

Dan I am going to Poland to teach English for the month of July with the Teaching English in Poland program with the Kosciuszko Foundation. I will be teaching for three weeks and then touring Poland for another week. This is my first time traveling internationally, so I'm pretty excited. Hopefully, this will the first of many travels that I will be able to write about in this blog.

Getting computer time here has been really hard. In the dorms there are only two computer to 120 students and staff. Plus these computers are circa 1990 running Window's 98. They're a nightmare. So I finally got a chance to use the good computers in the computer lab again. This camp has been a blur. There are only three more days that students will be here. I still can't believe that it has gone by so fast and that we have fit so much in. Since my last update, we have been on a whole bunch of different tours. The coolest [View Full Entry]

I volunteered for computer lab duty this afternoon so that I could update and catch up on e-mails. Yesterday was a completelly fun day. After classes in the morning the American staff (there are about 20 of us) took the train into the city of Gdansk where we could spend the rest of the afternoon. Once we got to Gdansk, I went of with a group of four others. Emily (my TA who is actually really annoying), Jennifer, Joanna and Peter. Joanna and Peter are brother and sister and both speak fluent Polish. We started off the day by going to [View Full Entry]

Finally, I found a computer where I can get to update this. The computers in our dorm block the website. I will start using the computers in our lab to post. Unfortuantely, no pictures since I still can't find a computer with a usb. It has been a lot of fun so far. During the day we get to hang out with the students. They just have so many questions about Americans. Sometimes it's funny, like trying to teach baseball. They did not really understand the rules about how to run the bases or where to throw the ball when you're [View Full Entry]

So here is a map of Poland with a marker of where I will be: Still just playing around with this site and trying to remember HTML coding. It's too bad I skipped that class about building a website senior year in high school so often. Mighty Taco for lunch was a way better choice at the time though. Is there anyone who knows how to put this text under the picture Is there anyone who knows how to get the text underneath the picture instead of to the side? [View Full Entry]
