Classes, classes, and classes

 

I think it is safe to say I had my first class yesterday where I understood what my lecturer was saying! I felt amazing! The lecture was about poaching, and dehorning rhinos which is interesting in many ways, but very sad at the same time. Did you know people in Asia think that you can cure hangover by drinking rhino horn? How stupid is that! I bet those people never knew rhino horns and our nails are the same material!...

After the class we would have had our Polish language course, which we skipped… again. So that means we cannot skip any other class, or we won’t get the subject. I don’ know if that’s a problem we don’t even have it in our learning agreement we just took it because learning new language is always a good idea. But from this point I honestly don’t know what to do. There will be 60 classes thru the semester, 2 classes a week, one of the classes are at the same time as one of my other classes…
I think the main reason why I’m so demotivated on learning Polish is how the first class started. The teacher started with a question ‘Are you all mad?! You wanna learn to speak Polish at 6.30pm?’ And I guess she does have a point everyone is tired that late in the day, and Polish is a hard language, and by 6.30 I wanna be home eating my dinner or do anything else than going for a class!
I cannot understand why all my classes are in the late afternoon! I my earliest class starts at 1.15pm! WHY?

I think Imma grab some breakfast because I don’t feel like myself rn.

See you tomorrow with a much better/nicer blog

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 when my

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, I

Last Day in Warsaw

  Our last day in Warsaw… When we got up the whole apartment was basically completely empty. Nothing was left, but a few backpacks, the food in the fridge, and the clothes we were about to put on. It was really sad. To start the morning exciting, and cheer ourselves up a bit we started our day in Costa Café or the Nero café — I honestly have no idea — where instead of coffee we drank chai latte. Sari did made me chai latte before, but since we don’t have either a printer nor the balls to print money we used cheep coffee and cheep chai thingy, which meant I was almost drinking something completely different. I absolutely loved the chai latte they gave me, so did Sari. Bummer, I wish I knew about this earlier. After our coffee break we packed everything and headed for the last shopping, we bought the little things that were absolutely needed for our successful trip home: bread, doughnuts, and the missing kinda beers. It was a successful trip. Then we drove home, prepared our meals for th
