Last Study Day in Warsaw

 

Yesterday things started as usual. Except everything started much earlier. I got up around five, because some imbecile with a Latvian license plated Mercedes was revving his motor like a madman. The whole car looks like it was imported from Butcher Town, the whole car looks like a boi-racer and it sounds like a 1998 1.2 Fiat Punto with a broken exhaust system. The whole car was just pathetic, so was the driver, he looked like some new rich with old poor taste. The car had a zillion fake scups, disgusting wheels, lowered to the ground. It looks just stupid. There are fast Mercedeses, that came from a factories and are designed to go fast and look good, whereas this shit-box came from a small garage, been designed by blind cows, and hoped that all the items screwed on the frame would stay on. Sorry this block got a few lines longer than I was planning it to be, but that maniacal pisses me off every time I think about him. Seriously what kind of a moron starts revving his engine between four and five in the morning?! I’m not even mentioning that the car’s motor must’ve been completely cold because he started revving right after staring it up in -1°C! What a complete muppet. And what do you do in a situation like this? Call the cops? Shout at him and wake up even more people? I just don’t know. But it’s obviously can’t stay like that.

Anyways, I’m not thinking about him ever again — until tomorrow 3 am. most likely. Anyways anyways, so after my early wake up, I read some news, did some blogging until Sari woke up. Than we started studying…

Thankfully, noon was coming soon, and I had to start getting our meal ready. The menu was paprikás krumpli. Oh, yess. Sari only allows me to do it like once a month if I’m lucky, so when I finally get to cook it I usually buy at least one kilo potato — half would be perfectly enough for two person — so, we are going to eat it for two days. Which is like I would eat it in every two weeks, not every four or five… For those of you who have no idea what paprikás krumpli is, it’s one of the best Hungarian dishes, all you need is potatoes, sausages, onions, water, and paprika powder. A lot of paprika powder. Of for the advanced class Piros Arany, which is also paprika just liquid-ish. Since we ran out off paprika powder, we had to use Piros Arany. And boy it was great! I don’t know if the Piros Arany did the trick or the fact that I haven’t eaten it for at least five weeks, but I never loved this dish more in my life. Although that could’ve also been a factor that we are about to leave for home, and hence the nostalgic and ‘safe’ taste? Does that make any sense? I don’t know…



After lunch and digestion I went running again. This time I was highly motivated because my plan was to run by all of the most important sights in Warsaw, especially in the downtown area. I ran pass the Saxon Garden, from there I was headed to the downtown, I ran on Novy Swiat street to the Main Square, however on Novy Swiat I had to come to the conclusion there were way too many people in the city center, and there were absolutely no need for another extra person. I ended up running the most kilometers I have ever recorded on my watch.

I was going to bed happily, because I knew Sari’s exam is today, and after it we will be able to livebasically…

So, see you tomorrow, with a much more interesting day!

Till then; 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
