Jestem podekscytowany, aby odwiedzić Polskę!

The title means, "I'm excited to visit Poland!" I get to attend and present research on herbaceous legumes at an agricultural science symposium in Bydgoszcz, Poland! You can see a window into Bydgoszcz through this youtube video! I leave tomorrow with a group of professors and fellow graduate students from Tarleton. I am very excited to have been given this opportunity!

I can't wait to meet professors and agricultural students from Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Italy, and a couple more countries. We will be the only group from an American university in attendance. I hope we're not too loud and obnoxious compared to the other groups! The city of Bydgoszcz is in northern Poland with the Brda and Vistula Rivers going through it. The main events I know about other than the symposium include a castle tour and a 24 hr. layover in London, England on the way back to America.

Those are the facts. Other than that, I'm along for the ride! I'll try to blog while I'm there. You know I'll be posting pictures!

Kim,

23 weeks ago (according to the ever-reliable Instagram), I came to the library while you were studying to give you a giraffe mug. I saw it in World Market and thought of you immediately. I'm studying at a table right in front of the study room you were in that day. 239- the one with the window! It was nice and sunny when I came in the room, and I remember you had some cheesy worship music playing on Pandora. Haha, I decided it was best just to go with it and jam. You were working on a project about the second Titanic being built. We laughed because we weren't sure if we'd want to actually ride on it...

I would so be texting you right now to laugh about the Titanic (take 2). But since I can't, I'll write it here instead. Love and miss you so much. I'm so thankful that I know- past religious sentiment and warm-fuzzies- that you are with Jesus himself. Goodness girl, I'm jealous. Have fun adoring him for eternity. I heard there's a huge tree with 8 different types of fruit on it in Heaven (it's in Revelation). As an Ag major... I don't see that happening this side of eternity. Go eat some of it for me.

Catch you on the flip side, hermanita. <3
