even though you're gone.
Apr. 12th, 2010 04:03 amPoland was hit really hard by the death of their president, his wife and ninety other public officials. Watching the week of mourning occur on television and seeing all those people together is...really depressing. The Polish community here in Chicago is just as passionate; they held a morning mass and they're honoring a local artist who was killed in the crash, someone who sought to educate people on the Katyn Forest massacre of 22,000 Poles.
I didn't know much about the president or the country's politics, and it makes me a little embarrassed to admit that, considering I'm mostly Polish. It did inspire me to look more into my cultural background and remind myself of my roots. I'm sure my grandparents would've wanted that.
On a lighter note, I'm off for the week, until I have to go back next Monday. Work today was a little dull, since I worked escalators instead of an aisles, but I preferred that for the day. It was quiet! And the weather was a little chilly, but it wasn't so bad.
