Running all the time

The worst feeling ever: when you are about to be late not because you couldn't make it but because everything fails you. I mean it's 7.25, you are all packed, food is done and peacefully waiting for you in your bag, you are all dressed and your make up is done. Then the elevator is not coming. You live in 9th floor so, you just can't let yourself do too much exercise before getting to university or work in order to not getting there all sweaty. But what was I... yeah, the elevator is not coming so you have to stand there and count to 100 and breath. 2 minutes pass, then 5 minutes... ok it's finally there when you realise that you have left only 8 minutes to get to your tram stop. What will be next? It is tram that is not coming! Or it leaves 2 minutes earlier than it should have those 2 minutes that you spent waiting for an elevator!!!!

If you miss this tram, you will not get to another one, in consequence, you will surely be late to work. And as I have two people to get to one just after another it is a huge disaster now. Imagine: the tram is missed, then another one, then you are late to your class so, as a result you are also late to your next class!  But not so fast! You can always get on board of the tram that 5 minutes later will be out of order too.

So that's my blue Monday's story. I truly hated it and I hope it's not gonna happen again.

Now I'm going back to my town and I hope there is plenty of snow!!!!
Bye now,

to travel or not to travel?

I'm in front of a big matter now. Well, actually it is a great dilemma for me as I can't sleep I'm trying to me a little bit productive. After a long week and a hard-working weekend, I can easily say that I'm pretty exhausted.

But let's come back to the matter. I'm dealing with a bad thing. I can't make up my mind If I should study for the exam or should I better write this post on my blog ;)

Well, as you see I'm here writing some words to bore you.

Have I already told you that I love traveling? It's pretty obvious though as I always say that this or that place is great, isn't it?

My biggest problem is that when I travel I have to cancel my classes so I won't be paid, yeah I know that it is only one day or two but then I see myself a little bit work-addicted (is it a workaholism yet?). I have this feeling that I'm letting someone down. I guess I'm too hard on myself when it comes to work.

But traveling yeah... Have I mentioned that I'm going to Venice in three weeks? If I still be alive after all those exams that are waiting for me.

O.k. now I'm going to watch some series as I have already done something creative :)

P.S You should definitely see  Broadchurch. If you like English accent you would probably love it! But be careful, the main character is Scottish so it won't be easy to understand. You should probably see it with subtitles as I did :)

fun

Hi!

Today I'm doing everything instead of writing my thesis! It really should be banned!

I'm waiting for any ideas maybe it's not as simple as it seems to be!  Why am I using so many exclamation marks? Well, it doesn't matter.

I love Christmas time. For some people it is only the time when you have to cook, clean, hoover, dust, go shopping etc. But for me it is a lot more that those activities.

We, as a family, love spending time together. I think this is the time of the year that gives us the possibility to sit down, play board games and just chill and having fun without any problem. It is hard for me because every two years I skip Christmas Eve as I go to my boyfriend's house. They are great people but still, it's the time when I feel that I need to be with my family and I feel like I'm missing something.  On the other hand, they have a completely different style of spending Christmas, other traditions, even food differs so every year is like a huge surprise for me. Nevertheless, the following day is always so pleasant for me as we go to my place and everything seems to be as It should be.

well, this year I'm actually doing nothing and trying to relax before going back to PoznaƄ.
It's a pity that this Christmas hasn't been white but I can always go for a walk without thinking about coming back because of the cold.

See ya soon!

piece by piece

So we have another weekend and I wanted to tell you something more about making friends.

If you want to be really successful in whatever you want to come up with you definitely shouldn't give up on trying!

Let's be completely sincere. How many times do you think about being mean to the others just because it may be funny in some sort of twisted way?

The third level of communication is about that truth.

Talk about your ideas. In these conversations I begin to reveal more details about me. They can be political ideas, about society or about how in my way of thinking the things should work. This level is very mental and consists of not involving the others. Therefore, it can become a productive talk made of monologues, since it is not necessarily about talking about the others. It is more personal and subtle yet only ideas!. On the other hand, we cannot forget that the fourth one is reserved for the closest friends and family so at this level will not be concluded most important and privet subjects.

Be original, be respectful but first of all be spontaneous! 
And you will never be considered dull.

Have a nice week!

season full of joy

It was a really enjoyable weekend for me.

 My friend from Torun went and we had an amazing time together! One thing that I can be angry about is that I don't know any place here where one can spend a night without going to the wild party.
 So when we actually did go to the city center we spent 40 minutes going around and thinking where to enter. Then we spent a lovely evening drinking mulled wine in a cozy restaurant named Domo or something like that I really don't remember and it doesn't matter now. 
We laughed a lot and had a really fantastic time without thinking about work or university life. It was so wonderful! 

On the other hand, there's that one little thing that bothers me a lot. I have a small passion, maybe it isn't the thing that I would die for but I love doing it and it makes me soooo happy. Unfortunately, every single time that I do it I feel like a sucker (sorry for that but it is the best word that comes to my mind now).

 As a result, it makes me feel down that I am just not able to be as good as I always wanted and I can't enjoy that anymore maybe it is an embarrassment or other crapy feeling but it is awful. Do you know that feeling? that you fancy doing something, just like it, but you are not good at and you try and tray persistently but later on just knock it off? Why sometimes we can't just switch it off and continue, just enjoying it no matter who or what?

 I wish it could change one day.

 Well, I am quite happy about my weekend so I leave you now because my Spanish lesson is about to start

See ya!

communication part 2

MORE INFORMATION

Hi!
today I'm going to blabber you some more about the beauty of communication. We should never give up trying to be better in your communication skills no matter with whom you work or have to deal!
Let me tell you a clever something about it: 

So, we have the famous five levels of conversation and first of them is the one that helps you with your personal relationships

my advice here is:
 If you want to have a good relationship, just be authentic, smile, say everything that is on your mind, don't hesitate

Second level. Talk about the others. It is also a superficial conversation, but it has a pinch of sophistication.
 In this case, we repeat what others have said, whether at home or in a book, without contributing anything of our own experience. We repeat smart comments, readings or quotations without making any kind of assessment. 
But be careful!

 In this second level, gossip is also included :) which, of course, can be nice or funny but sometimes it is possible to trigger a war as well :)

communication level 1

There are conversations that fill us and others that leave us empty. There are people that talking to is a pleasure and others who could make sleepy even a sheep. And all this is related to the levels of communication that is between us and our partner,  friends or at work. Let's see what are the five possible levels of conversation to see in which situation we usually are with the people around us.

First level. Talking about things, football, time ... It is a superficial conversation, but sometimes necessary when you meet someone or you are in an elevator for instance. We do not start revealing our life details to the neighbor in the room. At this level we talk about time, what did we eat or what did we see in the last trip to Italy. The problem appears when a couple can speak only and exclusively of this type of things. We feel emptiness, especially when we have moments when we need to tell something that affects us.

Then there occurs the problem. We cannot hide our feelings and we are ashamed because of the lack of connection. Why is it so important? Because it is crucial when you really need to talk to someone and it’s your partner or best friend and the other side has nothing to comment. 
 Let’s talk about nothing, it’s always better than not talking. But does this rule always work? I don’t think so.

Next week, there will be MORE INFORMATION about more information that we can communicate.


Bye!
