I'll probably be driving from Zabrze. My flight is at 13:45.
Very cool!
the trip to the airport should be quite quick, but it really depends on your starting point and time of day.

It shouldn't be that bad, because Wrocław will get it's bypass fully opened at the end of August

I disagree! The interloper overstayed his welcome by 90 minutes easy. It was confused's date! This guy was hijacking his night. Confused was well within his rights to ask dude #2 to split....Remember, it's not as if he booted this guy shortly after sitting down. He waited 120 minutes! Jeez. Props to confused for his patience.
For you to tell this guy to get lost was wrong because she was the one who asked him to come over, not you.

Work / Polish student overseas wanting to study in Poland:Which language do I choose to study in? [6]
My background is similar to yours. Polish was my first language while I was a child in the States. Then like you I shunned it for English. Later I went to Poland to study Medicine. In my day there were no English classes so it was all in Polish. At first it was hard but there comes a time when it all becomes very easy. What I'm trying to say is because of your solid Polish language background, it's all encoded in your brain just waiting to come out. That's why I strongly advise you to take your classes in Polish. Would you be able to come, say, 6 months earlier to begin "working-out" those Polish language muscles?.....Don't take the easy way out. You'll probably regret it later.

You know that's right: just as in the wild the female always picks her mate!
From my experience it is always women picking up a man.If a women is not interested (and you can usually tell it quickly) you will only waste the time and/or assets.

Law / Why are the Poles following the Swiss Franc? [17]
One of the reasons(but far from the main reason) I went into Medicine was because I do not have a head for math and finance. So, please tell me why is the Polish media following the Swiss Franc?

Work / Teaching jobs for Americans in Wroclaw? [54]
As I was feeding my dogs I thought of you Jcarrett. Not so much you but of your GF and her family. How could they be ok with you dropping your studies like that and entering into this vulnerable realtionship in Wroclaw....As a father of two, one of whom is nearing college-age I have to say this (and then I'll shut up for good): Wake up kid! They don't have your best interests at heart. How could they. Just stop and think about what you are being asked to do. From where I sit it stinks. I can't beleive I'm getting upset over this. Anyway, just finish your studies (i'm betting you're not Jewish or Asian). What a waste!....I'm done
