Today I went to my Polish professor's house where she had prepared a huge spread of Polish foods for our class, friends, and former students. Everything was great and I'm glad that she did this again. It makes me feel so cultural and like I have been able to return a part of my family's history to life.
During the meal we watched the premier of "Jak się masz, kochanie?" -- the video we had made as a class. The editor has done an amazing job with what she was given and it turned out better than I had thought it would be. Occasionally the voices are a little weak and it would have been nice if some people had spoken louder, but overall it was so much fun to watch. Luckily I didn't come off as creepy as I thought I would...or maybe I just don't see my creepy actions as being creepy, which could be bad. The editor also put in a blooper reel of "wpadki" at the end. That, I believe, is the best part of the film. They really show how much fun we had while making it and how much we (I'm in almost every single one) messed up during the production.
So after we had watched the film and finished eating I walked over towards the kitchen where I started talking with one of the students from class, as well as with the intermediate level Polish teacher. I started talking about where I was going to be teaching next fall and when I said Western Albemarle, the professor was like 'Hey, my daughter goes there." I asked what grade she was going to be in next year and he said tenth. I then asked if she planned on taking AP European history and he said yes....So, it looks like I am going to be teaching his daughter next year.
I guess the pressure is really on me now.
