Dreaming About Minimalism

 So, yesterday was another shopping day… And I gotta say Sari is a good player. She played me like I played Shake It Off when it was a new song; continuously!

When we got up, the day started slowly. We had no place to rush, no slides to study, no exams to die for. I meant study for. Anyway, after a nice breakfast we got up, and started our commute to the… mall? I guess. We drove there, which might sound like a environmentally irresponsible decision, but we haven’t started the car in three weeks(!!!), last week when I walked to the garage to check on her, I was literally surprised how she looked! I hardly remember her face! Damn.

We took the in-city-highway to the mall which had a great travel vibe, or maybe it was just me who wanted to be on a roadtrip rather than a shoptrip. We arrived to the mall in 25 minutes, the same trip took me 52 minutes last time when I took public transport, which is surprisingly long, and I don’t really understand why did it took so long then. I took a bus and then a tram, both were traveling in an acceptable space, and I hardly had to wait 5 minutes for the connection… I really don’t get it where those extra 27 minutes has gone.

Anyways, we got to the mall, started our shopping in Primeark, we spent a lifetime in there, bought I don’t know what. Meanwhile Sari was running around looking for unnecessary items, we never needed — or maybe Pepxo is the shop that sells those kinda craps(?) — I had the time to sit down and write my blog. There’s a huge shoutout to Primeark for the seats in front of the changing rooms, so I had the option to sit down! If you’re a female you probably have no idea how precious those seats are/were.

It was way after noon by the time we got out of that store, and this was the point where it turned out how big of a player Sari is. I was like ‘alright it’s time to eat, let’s go home and eat.’ While she went like ‘there are food stands upstairs , why don’t we go there, eat something and then we wouldn’t have to cook today.’ It seemed like a reasonable idea, so we went upstairs, and had some burgers. They we some nice burgers, from Pasibus, which I hope is not a restaurant of a huge cain, because if I give money, to a huge restaurant cain, like Burger King I want unlimited drink-refills. That way at least I get something good back for making the owners even richer.



When we finished our meals, I thought we were about to leave for home, however, Sari cracked the system, and walked me to another store. There we bought a shirt for me, it was cheap and looked nice, I have no idea about the name of the material, but it was typical that shirt you can wear at summer without sweating to death. 

Then we had the chance, and we lived with the chance to go to other stores in the mall…

It was a great day… And actually it wasn’t that bad. We finally had the opportunity to get out of our apartment without freezing.

To close this capitalistic day we watched the second part of The Minimalists, called Less is Now. I totally recommend it!

Take care, watch The Minimalists, and the Less is Now!

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
