One of the Last Days

 Yesterday was quite an eventful day. We’ve been to many places, we’ve been through many emotions.

When we got up, that was exactly when the suffering started. We started packing all our thing into the suitcases we brought with us. It goes without saying that this was not our favorite thing to do. But we kept doing it till we didn’t got terribly sic and tried of it, so we had to stop.

We got enough of packing just after 1400, which probably was the most convenient time for us to try the Etno Café right across the street — the street, a grassy area and another street, but you know what I meant, right?

The place was pretty weird, they didn’t had the coffee which we ‘usually drink — yeah that’s how little I know and care about coffee, I don’t even know what we usually drink — however they had something similar which had a completely different name, it was like we would’ve asked for a banana, but they would’ve told us they didn’t have banana, but they do have cherries, and then they would’ve brought you that yellow semilunar fruit. Strange. Some people might even say silly. When we eventually got our coffee we had the opportunity to sit to the very same table we can see from our windows. It was such a strange feeling. We were basically having a conversation at home, but not at all home. It seemed like a great farewell to our apartment. Although I feel like we should do it again tomorrow, just to make sure we will remember. Plus last time I forgot to turn on the lights in the windows, so our experience wasn’t as perfect as it could’ve been. 


After a long conversation in the café, we headed home to get changed, because we were meeting our friends for the last time during our Erasmus. And the emphasis is on the ‘during our Erasmus’ because we hope to see them in Hungary or when we come back to Warsaw in two years time. 

So, we met for dinner, however the plan a) place was packed, so we had to look for another place. We found a beautiful pizza place, with nice crew, and as it turned out later, they had pretty good pizza as well. However surprisingly this place was also full, so we had to wait to get a table. How would have expected that all the restaurants were going to be completely pack with people on a Tuesday night? Apparently not even the owners of the pizza place expected that many people, based on the fact that the whole huge place had only one waitress. 

After all our tummies were just as full as the restaurants, we were looking for a place to have a drink, luckily Ola new the perfect place: an old house with huge basement, where we had the opportunity to be alone, but still in a bar. It was a great place, and it got even better when we walked up to buy some drinks and there was a dog! A dog was guarding the bartenders! He was very friendly, had beautiful fur, and unfortunately didn’t ‘hear’ any different language, but Polish. 

We had only one drink, because today we have to continue packing. We walked together to the Palace of Culture and Sciences for the last-ish time where we had to say goodbye with a very heavy heart. I’m gonna miss this girls, and I’m thankful for their friendship, and help with everything.

That’s it for today, 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 whe...

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...

Start of Our Evacuation

  So, yesterday was Sari’s last exam, which means the studying part of our Erasmus has came to an end, unfortunately not only the studying part is over, the whole Erasmus program is about to end! We even started packing yesterday… Sari’s exam was at noon, which is possibly the worst time to write a test, because you can’t even eat before the test which means your brain doesn’t necessarily have enough sugar to work. We were hungry and had no motivation to cook, and we were planning to go to IKEA anyways, so we decided to beat the traffic instead and have some good old IKEA vegetarian hotdogs. It was totally worth, we payed 14 zlotyi for a two meals. That simply doesn’t happen anywhere else. Then we walked around in IKEA God and Sari only knows what we were looking for, but we only found something I wanted for a long time. A doormat with ‘Dzien dobry’ sign on it.  mint isn’t it? When we got out of the store I hoped we were out of the woods, but then it turned out we still have t...
