Polish Club

I decided last night that I want to learn a little bit of Polish, so I officially joined Polish Club. I attempted to go to the introductory lesson, but the teacher never came. I sat around with 5 other Polish students talking about Poland and why we want to learn the language. I'm about a quarter Polish, I've got the last name... I've always wanted my mom's Irish maiden name, but I have accepted my Polish last name as it distinguishes me from most people. So while our teacher never appeared, I enjoyed getting to know new people at this stage in the semester. Hopefully I will continue to go to Polish Club and enjoy the lessons, and maybe remember some of what I learn so that some day I can speak Polish! :-) All I know how to say in Polish is "Kiss me," but I have no idea how to spell it so I won't try right now. Phoenetically, "kiss me" is "die-me-vouge-ee" with the "vouge" pronounced like rouge in French. Perhaps once I learn something I can write a mini-entry all in Polish. Oh, on a side note, in the Polish part of my family, we are rumored to be relatives of Pope John Paul II. I must say he resembles my grandfather and my grandfather's family a little bit, so the rumor could be true.
