Twisted Tease: It’s hard to go wrong with braids! There are millions of types to experiment with: basic braids, single variation, double variation, crown, multiple strands, and many more! The easiest thing to do is pick up some “how-to” books or videos on braids, or try looking up hair braids on the internet. You can also ask your favorite beauty parlor if they know any fashionable twists. They’re just beautiful with flowers or ribbons weaved in.

The Best Policy (or What It Takes To Get Ahead)

Tesco (supermarket/mini Wal-mart type store) runs a yearly contest to see which schools can collect the most points. They are then rewarded with new equipment for the school. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but that's the general idea. When you buy something at Tesco, with your receipt you are given a little card on which the cashier has handwritten the amount you paid. That's how many points will be given to the school who turns that card in. Every day in Ewelina's class kids bring in any of the cards their parents have given them. She is always excited after we do our shopping to see how many points they will get, and says that she has the record for the card with the highest number (since we shop American style, i.e. once a week and buying more stuff than we need).

I'll start by saying that we love Evie's teacher. She's cute. She's funny. She's playful. She teases the kids (this is important to our family). We like her. BUT...
Last week Evie told Greg that her teacher had instructed the children to change numbers on their cards before handing them in. 1s should be changed to 4s and 3s to 8s.................I couldn't believe it. I was shocked. I was horrified. I was outraged. This woman, whose students admire and respect her, was TEACHING them to be dishonest. INSTRUCTING them to be deceitful. This was especially hard for me because I feel like all forms of cheating in this country are not really considered such a terrible thing. Greg remembers when stealing was almost a good thing, if it would hurt the system. It was a form of rebellion against the communist regime. I think this is the root of many of the forms of corruption that are still so universal in Poland (bribery is the biggie that comes to mind right away) I know that for the older generations this is normal, but I also was hoping that it was changing, now that things in Poland are so different than they were.

Greg handled the situation well. We try not to be too weird or annoying since Evie already doesn't attend the religion classes, and the entire class schedule has had to be reorganized for her and she's the only semi-foreigner in her class etc. Greg talked to the teacher about it. She argued that she knows for a fact that schools who have won big in the past cheated in this way. She said she is hurt that her school doesn't have the same equipment as other schools, even though they might actually get the highest number of actual points. Greg is awesome and convinced her that he (and hopefully lots of other parents) would rather have their kids come out of elementary school as good kids who understand ethics, than have them work on a nice computer at school and not understand the difference between right and wrong. In the end she told him that she agreed, but she knew that the two of them weren't "going to change the world". The next day she apologized to her kids in class and explained things to them. (Evie had been the only kid in class who had expressed doubts about changing the numbers)

This makes me ashamed of the time that David opened the car door and bumped the car we were parked next to, leaving a mark on the door. I planned to have my friend that we were visiting help me write a note in Polish to the car owner that we were sorry and to contact us if he felt so inclined. My friend and her mother tried to talk me out of that. They KNEW (as I did) that most likely the person would charge us for all sorts of damage that wasn't there. They were shocked that I would even consider leaving a note. My friends mother even said that if I left a note, she would contact a news station and tell them about it. They love talking about how, even in our day, some people are honest. It's a sensational thing here. If someone's lost wallet is returned, you will likely hear about it on the news (I'm making it sound worse than it is, but not much). After our visit I went down and took a look at the car and realized that there was just a very small paint mark from our car. I thought we had chipped their paint. So after lots of debate, I decided not to leave a note. I hate myself for that. Not because I think I did the wrong thing, but because I think I came across the wrong way, fighting for the cause of honesty so vocally and then doing exactly what they had told me that "everyone" would do.

This is way too long, but I wanted to give more examples, like how everyone in one of Greg's English classes thought that the person who was at fault when a couple's marriage broke up was a friend of theirs who knew that the husband was cheating and let the wife know. He was the bad guy. There was not a second of consideration that it could be the fault of the cheater. They were a happy couple until she found out, and she wouldn't have if it hadn't been for this stupid guy who told her. His fault. Yikes.

What kind of a "best policy" causes some schools to use outdated equipment, causes some people to (potentially) pay for something they didn't do, and breaks up marriages? Hmmm. I think it's the one that Shall Set Us Free--in the end.

How to Choose Your Prom Hairstyles

Choosing Hair Styles is great fun, whether you want a casual new look for every day, or a glamorous creation for your prom, wedding or a special occasion.

An easy approach is to check out all the new looks in fashion magazines and on the internet, until you see something you absolutely love. Discuss your choice with your hairdresser, and decide whether the style will suit your face, and whether it will be possible to achieve it easily with your hairs natural texture.

Its important not to fight with nature too much, or you'll end up with a high maintenance job, which never looks good unless you spend hours every day fixing it, and lots of money on hair care products. Find something which works with your hairs own natural texture and color. Be yourself, rather than trying to look like someone else, no matter how gorgeous and glamorous they are.

If you want to take a more scientific approach, you'll find plenty of guides on the internet. There are techniques to help you determine the broad category of your face shape, how to accentuate your best facial features, and how to create flattering illusions of well-balanced perfection.

Whether you want sexy, glamorous look, or a beautiful practical idea for everyday, choose Hair Styles which are right for your natural features.

Whether you have long or short hair you can still make your hairstyle appear like an up-do even if it actually is not! Curls and waves are very popular right now and a great idea for your prom hairstyle is to curl your hair, whether it is short or long and collect all the curls at the back of your hair in a tussled yet controlled up-do.

* Long and natural is one of the trends of 2008 and if you have long hair you can take advantage of this new trend. You have two choices, you can curl every inch of your hair into distinctive ringlets or you can curl only the bottom of your hair so the curls naturally attract together at the ends of your hair, the rest of your hair being straight. Both of these are very elegant looks and can greatly compliment any young girl.


* The French twist has only been a classic up-do look for women of any age. This is a very classy and elegant hairstyle to wear to your prom.

* If you are looking for something a bit more unique and perhaps extravagant, you will find that messy hairstyles are very popular this year and prom is the best place to try them out! Between you and your chosen hairstylist you should be able to take the simple concept of the French twist or the bun and create something a bit messy but controlled at the same time.

During your prom hairstyle hunt you will find that the perfect accessories can really make or break your chosen hairstyle. You can choose from flowers, ribbons, hair bands, barrettes, jewels, sparkles and more. No mater what your accessory preference is you can be sure they sell it!

Make sure and book your appointment early with your hairstylist because every girl in your area is looking to do the same thing! If you find by the time your prom does arrive, you have not decided on the right hairstyle for you, it is not a big deal because your hairstylist has no doubt done thousands of different prom hairstyles and can suggest the best hairstyle to compliment your facial shape and your personal preferences as well.
