Further Plans(?)

 So, yesterday we started our day with administrations. Seems like that’s the new norm, since we don’t have university, but Sari has to study meanwhile I wanna give you as many angles, and as many information on my Erasmus as possible. I currently run two storylines on the blog, on is a motivational blog starring our adventures on our way to Warsaw — with a little detour to Tallinn — while I also write this ‘everyday’ blog where I tell you what I did the previous day. One blog usually takes 45-60 minutes to write, then I easily spend another hour with getting it ready to be shared, sharing it and so on. So, writing my blog, and getting it ready is how I usually spend my mornings, then if I’m not lucky I’m the one who cooks — usually I’m lucky haha. 

However I’m also thinking about writing a blog about our expenses it might be interesting for someone who’s thinking about going on Erasmus, but feels like money is the boundary. I’ve been checking all our expenses for the last three days — (!) there are a lot of things to go thru — and I found quite surprising things, numbers if you like. I wasn’t exactly expecting those numbers, however the ‘t’ is not crossed till we are not home in our apartment, so you probably have to wait till then for the final results of our monthly- and six-monthly-expenses. Aand then I should probably do another blog on our monthly expenses in Hungary to put the whole thing into perspective. So, I believe that is all to come, you’ll be able to learn a lot from it, I promise. Back to our day…

After our morning routine was done, we started studying. I was helping Sari with her stuff, which was quite time consuming, and as it turned out consumed even more energy. I had to tell her the titles of the slides or topics, and she had to tell me what belongs there. While she was replying I had to check if she’s right, HOWEVER I hardly ever understood any of the slides, it was written in a much higher level English than I ever was/will be, so while she was telling me in her words — which I did understand — what were written on the slides I had to try and keep up with her in a text that I never really understood. Which ultimately meant I was bullshitting all the time. And that’s quite tiring! I probably wouldn’t be a great politician.

After we were done with a small part of our purgatory, I showed Sari a Biedronka that I’ve recently explored. We did our grocery shopping, and I’ve already started collecting souvenirs for our families and friends. The Zubr beer was discounted if you bought two six-packs you would get a better deal, which was exactly what I did. I have to keep looking for these discounts because there are a lot of beers I want my friends to try. Shit six might wouldn’t even be enough.


I closed my day with a nice run, till yesterday I was taking laps around our block, however that was getting boring, so I run to the Palace of Culture and Sciences, from there I ran to… I don’t even know where I was, I ran in the direction of the green lights when I could. I ended up running more the 10km which is a result I was quite pleased with.

So, that was our/my yesterday, I hope you also had a good one, till tomorrow;

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
