Almost another day at the university

 

Yesterday I got up very excite because I was supposed to have Geography class at the university! I had a nice breakfast, got dressed, set off at just the right time to catch the bus, I was at the elevator when I realized I forgot to bring my mask, so I had to travel up again from the first floor to the 9th then back down to the first floor which was annoying because I wasted time and energy just to get back where I started. When I left the building, I had 4mins to cover the 5min walk which is definitely doable, but it was a bit stressing. I was almost at the bus stop when I received an email from my teacher… her child got sick so she couldn’t go to the uni, instead we were gonna have the class online. Bummer. So, I got dressed, traveled up and down a million times with the elevator just to sit in front of my laptop. Unlucky. But on the upside, I probably wouldn’t have caught the bus because I spent quite a long time at the bus stop trying to process what happened. The class was actually really interesting, and the lecturer has a really good pronunciation, so after all I think I’ll be a fan of this class.

I wasn’t sure if I should include our trip to Auchan in my blog, but I realized I promised an update on the paper shop search. We have found multiple shops that called themselves paper shops, but their resources were usually limited to exercise books. However, in Auchan they had everything – and more – than we could have wished for!

In case you were wondering why we went to Auchan instead of the smaller shops around us, the reason is pretty simple. We are having money spending issues. I don’t know if you have noticed it, but it seems like money goes easier than it comes. Hence, we changed tactics, we gonna do one shopping in every week or 2 weeks if we are lucky.

That’s it for today, I hope you are well and see you tomorrow.

The actual first day at the University of Warsaw

  Soo, I know I already wrote a blog with this title, but that day (the day before yesterday?) I only had an online class which does not qualify as a normal in-person class! It simply does not. My first class was an online class, at 4pm – which is always fun – after it was my second class that was at the university! What a relief to have a class where I can see other people, and the lecturer doesn’t have terrible audio! What was not that good about it is it was freaking hard! I wasn’t expecting a Polish language class to be easy but wow! It is the next level of randomly placed letters in a word. And the fact that the class starts at 6.30pm does not help us. It seems like usually we are allowed to miss two classes, which is less – by one – than we can in Pécs, but here at the language course we have two classes per week and also two opportunities to miss class which honesty sucks… I do want to learn a Slavic language to be able to communicate in the Balkan, or catch some word whe...

Let's pretend this is day one(?)

  Today we just took the time to really concentrate on ourselves. In the morning we slept late, then I did my little yoga with Bohobeautiful, after that we started cooking lunch and dinner yada-yada-yada. We did participate in an online webinar about the library in Warsaw. To be completely honest I am not big of a fan of libraries. Not like I wouldn’t like to read, but somehow every time I went to the library back at home, I could tell based on people’s look that they knew I was studying sports and therefore I did not belong to a library. Of course, Sara was paying attention she studies at the faculty of Humanities, “her type’s” natural habitat is the library. While we were listening to the presentation, I had the time to think. And I realized a rather strange thing. Yesterday while we were talking with Ola, we were Americans ! I mean me and Sara… Okay, let me explain. So, every time I hear some English-speaking dude walking down the street talking on the phone or with someone...

Start of Our Evacuation

  So, yesterday was Sari’s last exam, which means the studying part of our Erasmus has came to an end, unfortunately not only the studying part is over, the whole Erasmus program is about to end! We even started packing yesterday… Sari’s exam was at noon, which is possibly the worst time to write a test, because you can’t even eat before the test which means your brain doesn’t necessarily have enough sugar to work. We were hungry and had no motivation to cook, and we were planning to go to IKEA anyways, so we decided to beat the traffic instead and have some good old IKEA vegetarian hotdogs. It was totally worth, we payed 14 zlotyi for a two meals. That simply doesn’t happen anywhere else. Then we walked around in IKEA God and Sari only knows what we were looking for, but we only found something I wanted for a long time. A doormat with ‘Dzien dobry’ sign on it.  mint isn’t it? When we got out of the store I hoped we were out of the woods, but then it turned out we still have t...
