First of all, if you guessed "Jaguar", you were right! Way to go!
Ok, on to more important news: so, we apparently survived our first hurricane in Poland. No joke. Last night it was really windy (duh),but other than that we really had no idea that there was a hurricane a-brewin'! It was even named: Kyrill. I'm thinking about getting a t-shirt that says "I survived Hurricane Kyrill". You can read more about it here if you have ridiculous amounts of free time and are interested. Now tonight, following in the crazy weather footsteps of Texas apparently, we have snow! It's just a dusting, but it's our first snow in Poland. And now we can be done. It's cold out there!
We just got back from a "team meeting" at the Stevenson's house where we were taught how to file our financial reports and got to eat homemade fajitas! Amber and I made two different kinds of yummy cookies to bring. I have really enjoyed cooking and baking here, which is one of my goals while I'm gone: to learn how to cook! So far, we've mastered omeletes, fajitas, quesadillas, chicken with pineapple and cheese, spaghetti (seriously, this is a fete for me!), homemade cake and frosting, homemade biscuits, homemade M&M cookies (BTW, M&Ms here are fantabulous...they taste a lot more like actual chocolate and less like candy coating), and homemade chocolate chip/snickers bar cookies. Phew!
And now, I leave you with a moment from our language class yesterday with our teacher Milosc (which is pronounced Meewosh, with a long o ):
Background: he's explaining the words for crosswalk and telling us how the green man on the sign means walk, the red man means don't walk; he then proceeds to inform us that we may also hear a beap to alert the blind, at which point Amber sits up straight, with a look of utter shock and "where in the world are we?!?!?!" on her face and declares, and I quote:
"They let blind people drive here?!?!?!?!?!?!"
after which proceeded many minutes of uncontrollable giggling. Milosc is thrilled to have us as his students. Pray for Milosc.

Sounds like we'd better pray for Amber, too! That's hysterical! You know you two are going to laugh about that everytime you cross the street! Talk to you soon.
I think I'd be more worried about Amber driving than the blind. By the way, can you drive there? Do you have to get a special license, or does a US one work if you needed to drive? So many important questions...
A hurricane?? Crazy! Watch out for those crazy blind drivers (I'm sure there's a bad polish joke there somewhere!)!
