I think it’s a really nice language, and I’ve been teaching myself for about a month now. I remember a lot of the basics from primary and high school, so although I’m not fluent I’m going to try and stick at it. I usually start learning a language, become half-fluent and then just give up but I really would like to keep with this.

My sister in law is Polish, and I think it’d be really nice if I could speak to her in her native language. Her English is amazing, and she makes a big effort to learn new words and pronunciation all the time so I think I should make the effort as well. I know quite a few words and phrases now, I’m teaching myself, and I think it’s going pretty well.

I had to add this to my 43 things because of what happened the other day. I was sat listening to music, reading a magazine and absent mindedly, I started chewing the bottom of my right cheek. I chewed it so much, I took a chunk out of it and now I am in the worst pain imaganable! It hurts to speak, and I can only eat or drink at my left side. I’m also avoiding eating any ketchup or anything like that since the other night I made the mistake of getting ketchup on the cut. I was nearly on the floor in pain : (

It’s starting to heal now, and should be completely fine by the end of the week but I really need to learn my lesson from this cause next time it could get infected, and I really can’t handle the pain! I’ve taken to chewing on straws, and that seems to be working so far, so fingers crossed!
