Few Last Days Oof Studying

 

So, yesterday was spent basically like the day before yesterday… Studying. Not too ideal for closing this chapter of our lives, but Sari’s teacher clearly didn’t thought about Erasmus students — just to be fair I’m not even surprised, she teaches a class that’s not your typical Erasmus class.

While she was studying I/we started cooking; Chinese veggies with pasta and soy sauce was the menu, I’d say it turned out pretty great, Sari thought I’ve put way to much cayenne pepper in it… But we need it for it’s positive effects. 

After lunch she studied an extra hour and so, however she eventually needed to have a break, so we went to a café, to chill a bit. The original plan was to go to the Etno café that’s right in front of us — which is not quite true, but we do see that place from our window. Although it seemed like it was empty from our apartment, it turned out to be PACKED, it was full of people. In case you would think ‘oh, no that’s not safe at Corona-time,’ don’t you worry, there was absolutely no space not even for a tiny little molecule of virus. We went to a near shop to check on some toothpaste and mostly to kill some time, however when we return nothing has changed, all the tables were taken. 

So, we needed a plan b). Our plan b) turned out to be called Green Café Nero next to Rondo Dasinksiego. I wouldn’t say it was empty, however I can confidently say there were way less people than at the other café — and here we had bigger place to spread out, I guess that’s also a good thing right? We had two coffees and one apple pie-alike twisted something, which turned out to be absolutely delicious but also freaking expensive. Although I’m not a huge fan of coffee shops I have to admit it was a prefect place to plan our trip back to Hungary. To our second home. Or first home. I don’t know which one is the correct term… Planning wasn’t too easy mainly because of emotional hiccups or issues. We are about to leave our first-ish home! Anyway I don’t want to complain; back to the plan.



So, my plan for our drive home was to have at least two stops before we arrived to Hungary, I wanted to drive South next to the Vistula River, thru the tiny and beautiful village of Kazimierz Dolny, the same village — or maybe town — we’ve driven thru when we were returning from Lublin to Warsaw. Than I wanted to sleep somewhere in the Norther Carpathians, and just then drive thru Slovakia and into and almost thru Hungary. However various things made me give up on these fine plans, so now it seems like we are getting up as early as we can, get out paperwork done at the university, and leave Warsaw before 0900 on next Friday. If we left around 0900 we should be able to make it to Slovakia just in time to check out the Ice Dom before it closes for the night, and then drive another half an hour to our booked accommodation. The plan seems to be solid, and reasonable, we will if the university has other thoughts. So, we would make it to Slovakia, and on the next day, we would stop at Budapest, to meet up some friends, and then we would drive home. Sounds pretty exciting, eh? 

After planning we had to come home and continue studying, however it will only continue for two more days — Monday is the date of the exam.

Wish us luck! 

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
