Regained health

hello
This afternoon it started raining for the second time this months...very grey and wet here right now. Except for today, it was very very warm, around 25 C .
Since this afternoon we have a new roommate, a Polish student who will live in my former room.I am currently sharing the room with Merel, because she will leave tomorrow to go home and I´ll get her room. It´s a pitty that Merel wasn´t feeling well enough to stay, because now we lost a nice roommate and I am the only personm in the project. That means for me that I´ll work a lot more on my own and cooperate more with the volunteers from the FERSO organisation, who are the only other volunteers in Lodz.
We invited them over yesterady, to have a "Farewell dinner" for Merel and went afterwards to a club called "Luka", a very nice cozy and ´just-have-to-love it` establishment. There we could again experience how friendly Poles are, but also that the language barrier is a big problem because not everyone speeks English.
And I can again praise the public transportation system of Lodz that gets you home every half an hour until 4 am...
Tomorrow I´ll have my weekly meeting with my coordinator and we will discuss my WORK that I haven´t really started yet. Especially because of Merel´s dropping out, we´ll have to change my tasks a little. Then I´ll have language classe (oh I still need to do my homework) and I´ll meet with my Mentor in the afternoon to enjoy some Carrot cake at greenway. See, I am really taken care of and by the way: Greenway is the best place to eat at: Vegetarian slow food...hmmm
Oh, and then I´ll have to find a winterjacket this week. I assume that it´ll take some time since I am picky person concerning jackets............
But now I´ll be sensible and not picky and prepare some nice hot dinner. Maybe potatoes, I have to check what groceries are left.
