My Last Exam!

 Yesterday I had my last exam! And I have passed! Not out, but the exam! How awesome is that?! 

When I woke up I read thru the all the slides once more and crossed all my fingers. I also took the time to ask Sari and our neighbors to cross their fingers as well. And it worked! I’ve passed the exam! I had two attempts, first I got some 50% then at the second attempt I got 65%! Yess! I like that number. 

After my exam we got ready and hopped on a tram to Praga! Not the Praga in the Czech Republic, but the one in Warsaw. Our plan was to check out the Praha Museum, and find a bar to have a gin and tonic to celebrate my successful exam period.  When we got off the tram we realized we have walked past the Praha Museum several times already! Last week(?) when we were at Praha we walked past it, and I’m pretty sure we walked past it before. We entered the building, this time the host was much nicer, she immediately told us there were no entrance fees that day, and told us the cloakroom is downstairs. 

We went to the museum to find out why the place is called Praha, and we were hoping for some extra information on the district. We didn’t got any of that. Instead we saw a few pictures of the National Stadium, and some documentaries on a market/mall, which used to be the heart of Praha’s economy, but they’ve demolished the whole building later. It was a sad story… Although we spent around two to three hours in the museum, I found it pretty hard to remember anything to write about. I had high hopes for the museum, however if I have to be completely honest I didn’t like that place at all. Even when they had something interesting, it wasn’t enjoyable because of either the lights were blinding you or the position of the object was placed badly. 

Then we failed to find a bar again, and it huge winds were blowing our heads off. We quickly walked in to the nearest mall, and bought some groceries. We shouldn’t forget that some of the groceries taxes are going to be reduced February 1st, so no big grocery shopping till then! 

Afraid of the wind we took the subway to home, however when we got out of the subway we felt something like never before! We walked up the stairs to Dasinksiego, and we felt absolutely no air movement! No wind, no breeze, not even a shy fart. The air was completely still. It was really weird, we never ever experienced such thing at that roundabout.

I’ve also realized next week is the last full week we are going to spend in Warsaw!  And I guess that’s also gonna be the end of my blog… Wow. When I think about this an emotion storm rushes thru my mind… I really hope I’ve liked my stories and I’ve pushed you a little bit towards going on an Erasmus yourself. However if I hadn’t — till now — I’ll do my best in these last weeks! Next weeks besides the usual blogs — which also will take you some interesting places in Warsaw — I’ll tell you the story of us getting here, our trip to the Baltics before our semester has started here. I think you’ll love it!

Till then, take care!

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
