through the ocean

My schedule will be more family-focused till November 28, when I’ll be back home in Warsaw.

I got into Outreachy and will be posting the open-source posts on my official blog and Outreachy logs on a dedicated blog - I haven’t set that up yet, since the internship officially starts December 6 and at the moment I’m working mostly on tasks not directly connected to my projects.

On my recent adventures in Atlanta:

I went to visit my cousins’ school for Thanksgiving lunch twice and really enjoyed it. The school is colorful and at the moment full of turkeys in all shapes and sizes. I also loved the library and the book fair at school. It seems like a lovely place to learn.

Every child has to say and write a lot about what they are thankful for and one of my cousins said that he’s thankful for his cat due to peer pressure - there is no cat. I think being grateful for what one has is a much needed tradition everywhere.

On Tuesday we went to mini Legoland - we saw how Lego blocks are made, had a ride of shooting bandits to save a princess, a tour through Lego Atlanta and loads of fun building and playing. We also went to a 4D Lego cinema, with wind blowing and snow falling.

Today we went to visit the Stone Mountain and had a wonderful 2h hike. I was surprised that the boys went all the way up - especially little Alex in his cute Thanksgiving turkey outfit. There were all sorts of attractions, especially Christmas-themed - which was kind of amusing, since it was warm and sunny. It’s a lovely summer this November. After the hike, we went down in a cable car.

After the trip we went for some delicious freshly baked Krispy Kreme donuts and got to see how they’re made. There is an icing waterfall on the conveyor belt.
