I thought I should post this since I am, after all, studying environmental science and the compact car totally beat out the hummer and suv in this picture. Yessss! From failblog.org.

So I got my hair cut! Rachel cut it for me on Friday because it was way too long and kept getting stuck in my coat and stuff. So here are some pictures of me with newly-shorn hair, taken at a party we went to Friday night. The other girl in this picture is Alachua, a student from Florida taking a gap year before college and interning with a rabbi here in Krakow. I think she's singing along to a song here, hence the interesting face.





Hair from the back, with Rachel breaking out her dance moves in the background.












I got caught mid-laugh but look at the short hair! The half-face on the left is Iza, who lives in Wrocław and was only here for the weekend visiting some friends.









In other news, I started swimming twice a week with the Politechnika team! It's unclear whether or not I'm actually allowed to swim on the team, but apparently I'm "too experienced" to be enrolled in the normal swim classes and so I practice with the team. It was a bit of an ego-boost for someone who hasn't done any swimming since high school.
