2007-01-09 - 6:45 p.m. Just waiting for the blizzard and avoiding signing up for a Polish class. Oh, and waiting for my supper to cook (my own pretend-I'm-in-Tuscany stewed chicken and vegetables). [Really, it has nothing to do with Tuscany.] (But it's delicious.) I find it bizarre that we can be under a blizzard warning for 24 hours before it is even expected to hit. I find it even more bizarre that they can predict that it is going to be the worst blizzard since 1989. I didn't live here in 1989. I did get caught in a bad snowstorm in Calgary some years back where the city closed down for 2 days. That was fun. Maybe if it's really bad I won't go to work tomorrow. I've been trying to find an excuse all week. I should sign up for this Polish class, but I feel very, very reluctant. And if I'm this reluctant to just sign up, I don't think it bodes well for me actually attending the class or doing homework. It starts tomorrow night. I already have coffee plans for tomorrow night. I really should sign up. I wish someone would talk me into it. I know that by not taking it I am seriously calling into doubt my dedication about taking this trip. I know that by not taking it I am making it that much more likely that I will back out of going. I know that if I take it I will probably like it. That it will start turning my wheels in the direction of going. I know that going to a foreign country where I don't know a word of the language is going to be a nerve-wracking experience and I would be reluctant to do that too. Blech. Just make me do it.
