So, last week I've told about that I might get to be an exchange student to USA or Canada. This is still true and I have the list and it gives 5 options in Canada and over 100 in USA, at least two options per state excluding Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Montana and Ohio which don't offer any (btw, do you have any explanation as to why? Just curious.). Two are from Ivy League, but what I read about them only makes me less willing to try (as in "I don't feel posh enough for Warsaw, let alone Ivy League"). I'll spend some time researching which offers best physics and mathematics options. If you have some suggestions that are fairly 'big names', feel free to shoot. It's likely that it's on the list.

I'll have to do some extra English exam, apparently B2 is not enough. On one hand, annoying. On the other hand, I get it and I myself felt like my skill is lacking. Not to mention that getting a student visa takes at least three months… rd95's idea of extreme camping trip under "manifest destiny" begins to sound almost reasonable by comparison with the amount of crap involved with visas ;).

In other news, I have done all extracurricular work for this summer. Some of my own results might even get published!

Now I'm looking at options to visit my brother in Sweden in about a week, which is pretty cool. It's weird that you can miss someone so much despite talking on Skype on almost daily basis. Plan for now states a road trip and, among other, visiting our aunt who lives near Oslo in Norway. If possible, anyone interested in making Nordic + Polish meeting?
