It Doesn’t Get Easier

 So, yesterday we continued our packing program, however before we got it done we had a little walk in the downtown — damn we really did that yesterday, I thought that happened the day before yesterday.

So, as it turned out yesterday we had a pretty long day, haha. We started our day in the downtown, for a last big walk in the city. We walked pass the Saxon Garden, had our last walk at the university — which probably had more meaning to me since I was attending to classes at the main campus, then from there we went on a little souvenir shopping, then tried to return a ripped money, however they closed the bank right in front of us, so that’s still something we have to deal with. And they didn’t speak any English, only a dude helped us who was also waiting in the line. He was one of the greatest disappointments of yesterday. Dude was dressed as B-Rabbit from 8 mile road, acted like that too, but he also turned out to be one of the nicest dudes every, and he was a great helper to us and another foreign couple of guys. We paused our trip in Zlote Tarasy, for a last MaxBurger, which turned out to be Sari’s new favorite fast food chain restaurant. We had some great burgers and since they have unlimited drink refills — as all fast food chain restaurants should have — I drank at least one liter of Coca-Cola, which gave us the last push to get thru the afternoon packing.

I had countless trips to the car and back I took one suitcase to the garage, this time I did take the elevator down, but it was terrifying. The whole metal box was shaking, it made terrible noises I was delighted when it finally stopped. Filling the car with stuff was a bit strange feeling, it really means our Erasmus is over… I took down my nice bricks as well, which are going to make our car just a tiny bit heavier, but I always tell Sari, that in the worst case scenario we end up in a ditch in the Carpathians we will just simply build is a new road using all my bricks.

I also took down all the garbages which meant three trips to the ground floor.

… Oh, my God, now I’m writing about taking the garbage out… I’m sorry but now — as you probably have realized much earlier than I had — I’m really struggling to write anything. I always give myself to you, while I’m trying to be entertaining, however now I don’t feel like that would/could be possible. I couldn’t give myself to you, but I guess no one wants to read two pages about, how bad it is to leave a country behind — a country that you love, a country where they love you, and a country that you have friends in.

Tomorrow’s gonna be a hard one.

I’ll stop here, I hope you’re going great,

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

Shopping Again and Again... Literally!

  Yesterday we started the preparations for the arrival of our guests by cleaning the apartment and going grocery shopping. Sounds life fun, right? First things first, we cleaned the apartment, I was vacuum cleaning, Sári was doing the bathroom – oh, and before you would start wondering whether this was the first time, we cleaned the answer is no! Just because I haven’t written about all of our cleanings, we do clean the apartment every week. Stop judging! After I finished with the vacuuming, I had to sort out our mold situation. I could tell right from the start that this would be a problem. Basically, we cook every day, that means we are boiling water every day, that means evaporation all the time, and when the hot air that contains buncha water hits a colder surface it condensates. Condensation results wet walls which results mold. If we lived in this apartment for a longer period of time, I would definitely buy a dehumidifier, so the whole place wouldn’t rot completely – I think
