The Day Before My Last Exam

 Yesterday, I almost didn’t do anything. That’s actually not true, I did work and I did walk quite a distance, what I meant was I didn’t study as much as it could’ve been necessary for a good final grade.

When I woke up I started the day with writing emails. As I told you earlier I’ve joined the mentor system of the University of Pécs, and I already had received a list of my mentees, however I didn’t have the time to contact them. Till yesterday. I wrote ten welcome email, and I think I had two or three answers for my messages so far. 

After I was done with emailing it was already past noon, so we had a quick lunch, thankfully we had some leftovers from the day before yesterday, so we were covered for the day — lately we’ve found it hard to come up with dish ideas… I guess it’s mainly because we haven’t had anything else in the past four months than pasta, chicken, and burgers. And don’t give me wrong I’d eat burgers till I die, however it’s not the cheapest solution for a meal. (In fact I have no idea what our lunch is going to be today, but I think Sari has an idea.)

I’ve collected all the materials my teachers uploaded to the wonderful university website called USOS. I don’t hate it as much as I hate Neptun, but I also didn’t have the time to explore the true nature of that system. Soon however Sari’s online class was starting, and since I’ve killed our earphones, she has to listen to her class on speaker, which makes it impossible to pay attention to anything else then her class. So, I figured if I wasn’t going to study anyway, I would be better of with walking, seeing something new. And that’s what I did! First I did the usual ONZ — Dasinksiego round, but that wasn’t enough for me. I walked South from Dasinksiego, till I ended up behind a mall(?) called Hub. It was interesting because I’ve been around that place, just never actually behind the mall. It was confusing, because on the map it shows a big green place where the Hub is. I have done some expeditions to the hub, however for some reason I have never ever walked around the building! If I had it wouldn’t have been such a surprise yesterday how many fancy apartment blocks there were. I have even found an outside gym! Damn if I knew earlier! After I walked around I decided to do a last lap, and I walked to the Palace of Culture and Sciences. While I was walking towards it, I met the most selfish, the most idiotic person ever! I don’t like to hate people in general, but that moron made me mad. West from Rondo ONZ there are three asphalt lines for not vehicles. Near the road is a sidewalk, further away there’s a cycling path and right next to the buildings there’s another sidewalk. Guess where the maniac walked?! It’s stupid it’s unsafe — for the cyclists, and even for her! — and it’s also freaking annoying! The council spends buncha money to make everyone safe and happy, and then there’s a dingleberry who messes things up! Cycling lanes/paths are for cyclists, sidewalks are for walkers! Why is it so difficult?



I’ll leave you with this because I want it to sink in and I gotta study anyway.

Take care and keep off your shoes from our cycling lanes!

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
