class for the first time in 2 weeks...then off to poland!!

After my return from the wedding, and matts visit, it was winding down to our last few weeks and our last few trips to be planned. There was a lot of talk about skiing in the alps, which first of all sounds fucking awesome, but yet again i was torn as to what to do since i've been to interlaken before. I had to decide if i was going to go with the crew for our last trip, or venture outside the box and either go somewhere with someone else or go somewhere i wanted to go, but by myself.

i was sitting in physics one night, perusing a map of europe which seemed to be a re-occurring thing when deciding on trips (which i miss doing a lot) and i found myself interested in seeing a concentration camp, something ive always wanted to do. actually, on my list of top 5 things, seeing one was about #4...pretty sweet to cross something off a life list haha.

so i gathered some balls, found that if i flew to krakow id be within an hr of aushwitz, and booked my flight in class that night, then my hostel a few days later. i had an idea that the exchange rate would be in my favor, but who knew id be loaded when going over there and early my poorest time in my life haha, it was straight out of Eurotrip when the group ends up in that really poor part or russia or something and they live like kings!

when i arrived in poland i was a little nervous because it was like 1am, but i found myself a cab, ended up at the hostel, and was pleasantly surprised! i had a room which looked like it was straight out of ikea, and a bathroom in my place, so it was like my own little apt, and to top it off, i had wifi! so i put on a movie and passed out.

Those next few days were amazingggggggg! i went to auschwitz and it was incredibly eerie and sad, but really interesting and i was so excited i got to experience such a thing. i spent the rest of my days walking into the main square, checking out awesome shops, buying really cool stuff that was mostly home made like jewelry and clothes and trinkets. I had a fabulous time, but the only weird part i must say was eating dinner alone lol. i think its when they pull the table settings for the other ppl off the table is when u feel a little lonely haha but on the other hand, sometimes it was really great and relaxing and cool to only do what i wanted to do haha,

this trip was fucking awesomeeeeee! i highly recommend that everyone visits poland at some time in their lives, it seems odd but it was seriously an amazing place!
