Rzeczowników

I'm really enjoying being back to taking classes, rather than conducting them. If I had money I would just go to school for the rest of my life. There is so much to learn, so much to be gained from knowledge. So many languages to learn.

Speaking of languages, I finally got Ronnie to admit that Polish isn't a totally terrible language and even got him to start learning the sounds the letters make. It was funny to hear him trying to say "słownik odmiany rzeczowników język polskiego." He actually said "polskiego" correctly after stumbling through the other words, especially rzeczowników (it's pronounced jech-ov-nee-koov and means 'of nouns'). I then started reciting "Lokomotywa" for myself to see how much I could do. I got pretty far. I prefer the Michał Żebrowski version to others that I've heard. They're just too slow and don't put the inflections that make it interesting to memorize as an adult, since I missed it in my childhood.

I was also drinking some of the grape juice that I fermented into "wine." It wasn't too bad tasting, and it was definitely potent.

But anyway, my classes are great. The only one I somewhat dread going to is the Museum class on Thursday nights, but the teacher is hilarious which makes up for the very dry material. My other teachers are also wonderful, as are the subjects. I mean, Chinese, Korean, and Spanish histories are a great variety to be taking for my last semester of college.
