Studying prt 2

 So, yesterday was yet another study day. I know it’s kinda boring, but trust me I hate it more than you do.

The good news is that I’ve already gone thru all of the Power Points connected to my Monday class the bad news is that I’m not sure how much I will remember tomorrow. Although this could be an issue I still have almost two days — given my exam starts at 1700 — so I have plenty of time. However that small thing that makes me uncomfortable is that I’m also having an exam on Tuesday, and that efficiently splits my two days into one days. And that’s a bit worrying.

Anyways, after my morning study we had no capacity to come up with an idea for lunch, so we used almost the last coupons they gave us in Maxbuger last time. First I thought how amazing those coupons are, but then after spending actually more money in last month at Maxburger, than the previous month, because than I didn’t have the coupon book. So, after thinking this thru I don’t think coupons are a good idea, I think they are a fantastic idea, which can hugely benefit a company — not so much the dummies tho. 

After lunch we walked back from Zlote Tarrasy — for the record, these companies are not sponsors of my blog, hence I use similar names to their actual name, although sometimes I might write their names correctly, but I can assure you those cases were all accidents. It was a nice walk, the sun was shining we finally got some vitamin D! Before we left I’ve even put our little dying Christmas tree in to the Sun’s reflection from the building  across the street, it might help the tree a bit… At this stage I’m not quite sure if the poor little thing gives us more Oxygen or CO2. I got a bit off topic here, so back to the main storyline; we walked home in the beautiful sunshine ready-ish for another studying section.

After the next round of studying was done we started creating our dinner. It was nothing special regarding to the dish, however luckily Kara and Nate have uploaded a new vlog, so we had some entertainment during our meal. After their video I went thru yet another set of slides about France. It was kinda interesting, and pretty surprising in many ways. For instance I never knew France had 5 overseas region. Nor did I know that they hold on to their ex-colonies for the crude oil and the uranium for their nuclear power plants. The PPT also happened to mention besides the Francafrique, the Chinafrique, which are basically a modern way of colonialism. I know it’s a strong statement, but if you really think about it that’s exactly what’s happening there. The only difference between nowadays and the centuries before is nowadays they use money instead of guns…

I think I’ll and the blog here, because now you’ve probably stopped reading either because you think I’m writing bullshit or because you want to read more about this topic.

So, take care, and learn about the World.

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
