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” is a really good way to improve your skills (in my case, language skills) and see what kind of teacher you are. It’s also a great way to learn patience!

A nice surprise

My friend told me on Friday that he had two tickets for Lady Pank concert on Saturday and asked me if I wanted to go with him. His colleague couldn’t go and had given him the tickets. I was very happy because it’s a Polish rock band I like listen to sometimes so I agreed immediately. The concert was a special one because of the 35 th anniversary of founding Lady Pank. There were a lot of people, many of which were my parents’ generation which had been growing up with Lady Pank’s songs. Everyone was having fun singing and calpping. However, I can’t understand why people prefer recording the entire concert on their mobiles (what is illegal, by the way) rather than listening, interacting with the band and having a good time. The result is that you can see nothing but people’s phones which is very annoying. All in all, the event was great and I’m really glad I had a chance to listen to the songs I could only hear on the radio before!

The sad truth

source:menway.interia.pl I bet almost everyone can’t imagine themselves not using a smartphone, a computer or not watching TV just for one day. We all live surrounded by technology and it’s part of our everyday life. We use it in order to contact family and friends, check how to get to a place or order food. If we know how to use it wisely, modern technologies are not our enemy. However, lots of people gets lost in this complicated word of gadgets and electronic devices which start to take control of their lives. They can’t really have a normal conversation with their mates or spend time with a boyfriend/girlfriend without constantly writing messages. It’s dangerous and not everyone is aware of how harmful such attitude is. There even is a series about the impact of modern technologies on people and their behaviour. It’s called “Black mirror” and although the first episode was emitted in 2011, it got popularity in Poland just a few years ago. The series is available on Netfli

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, there
