Why don’t you have a rest?

source: forsal.pl Nowadays people are living so fast. Every morning you can see them almost running to get to work, pupils with big school bags walking fast because they’ve overslept, old ladies going to the market in order to be the first in buying the best groceries and cars passing by with an incredible speed.  What makes all of them losing their heads? Well, the answer is pretty simple: money and obligations. All the society is used to this type of life and I’m afraid sometimes we don’t have any other option. I’m one of these “running people”. I always walk hurriedly and have a lot of things to do in my tense schedule. It’s very annoying when someone is walking slowly in front of me and I can’t get ahead. In such situations I have an impression that this person is stealing my valuable time. Of course it’s not true, but when you have a hundred things to do, every minute is priceless. However, every day I try to find a moment only for myself and I think all of us should t...

Coffee is everyone's best friend

I always start my day with breakfast and a cup of coffee with milk, no sugar. Coffee helps me start a day with energy and good mood. In the afternoon, about 3 or 4p.m., I drink a second cup of coffee. Usually, at this time I’m tired after a day in my faculty or after taking care of everything that needs to be done and coffee helps me get back on track. I love drinking that second cup of my favourite beverage in company, e.x. in a restaurant with friends or in my friend’s house. We sit comfortably on a couch and chat about our studies, our plans or about other people (of course). The coffee with my friends not only gives me a boost for the rest of the day, but it also helps me relax, even more when we choose a nice looking coffeehouse and also order a piece of a delicious cake. However, th...

Here comes the money

It’s very common among students to try to obtain some extra money apart from what they get from their parents or from a student loan. They usually opt for working part time, but a major group chooses to give private lessons. If one’s good at Maths or Japanese, why they would not use these skills to make some money? Recently, I’ve also started giving lessons to others – Spanish lessons. I used to do it a few years ago but I resigned due to the lack of time. Now I feel more confident about my language skills and I’m willing to start again! However, this time I don’t give lessons via Skype as I used to do. It was so annoying... trying to make a connection using no always perfect WiFi, constantly having to remember my pupils about transfering me the money... I prefer face to face lessons. You can clearly see if someone is interested in what you are saying to them, if they need any further explanation. What is more, they pay in cash, which is the best part. I think this type of “work” i...
