A Night at the Opera and a Day at a Football Match

Just finishing up a wonderful weekend highlighted by seeing Joanna D'arc (Joan of Arc) at the Wroclaw Opera and Slask Wroclaw "football" team beat Polonia Warszawa (one of the Warsaw teams) 4-0.  Both events were learning experiences as they were the first time I had been to an opera and European football match.  I was pretty clueless for most of the opera performance with the singing in Italian and subtitles on a screen above the stage in Polish.  However, by the end of the football match, I had most of the chants (which a Polish friend told me were pretty profane) down and I could sing the team songs with the best of them.  Tomorrow, we have out morning classes cancelled so we can attend an assembly celebrating the 200th birthday of the University but I'm looking forward for an exiting second week of classes.
