Good news ;)

Being grounded for a couple of days as my thermometer is still showing me 38 degrees (I hope this will not cause mistakes), I decided to cheer myself up and find some good news.

So what I came across I think will be appreciated by anyone who is interested in DIY jobs. Namely, if you want to redecorate your room, simply forget about paint, paintbrushes, wallpapers, glue, concrete or decorative stickers. What you really need is … an OHP.

Thanks to a group of Dutch artists, decorating has become a child’s play. By means of beams of light you can design your room in any way you can imagine - the sky is the limit. And although this method does not seem to be suitable for everyday use, it might be a great trick to astonish your friends. Let’s just hope their eyes will stand the intense beams at least for a while.

A hard time reading books...

Honestly, I have to admit that books did not play any crucial role in my childhood, unfortunately (or fortunately). Surely, my father would read me some short tales before I fell asleep (“Lokomotywa,” “Kopciuszek” or “Winnie the Pooh”), but I abandoned this ritual when I grew older – spending evenings in the playground seemed much more fun.

When I started Primary School I read everything that I was supposed to, even with having some fun, until Junior High School. Then, I realized how much of the books that I was forced to read were impossible to understand due to historical values or extremely difficult language (“Zemsta?”), so things which were far too mature for a kid of my age. Therefore, at this point of my life I decided to skip reading books as they were originally written, and started reading summaries that were not only less time consuming, but also easier to understand and go through.

So, one can come to a conclusion that it is not always the child who should be blamed for their reluctance to draw knowledge from books, but it is rather our educational system and its choices of required readings that can successfully discourage anybody from taking up reading. Sad, but true for me and for many other people, I suppose.

Home is the place where it feels right to walk around without shoes (or even pants sometimes ;) )

So the deadline for publishing my first real note has come, eventually. But before getting to the very point, I need to admit that personally, I have never approved the whole idea of blogs or any other sorts of “publishing” one’s inner feelings or very very personal, even intimate pieces of life. Therefore, never ever expect me to do so ;)

As far as the place I am currently living in goes, it is a block of flats situated in Wilda district. I know – Wilda. Probably now you imagine myself running dark at night only not to be beaten by some bald guys asking every single person whether he or she has a problem. But to your surprise – no – it is not that bad. It is even better than I thought, thus it is the third year I have been living here.

My flat? A regular one for students, with lots of books, notebooks and mess around. And though the place is really cozy and comfortable, I believe this year to be the very last in PoznaƄ, with no re-sits, hopefully. My roommates, as there are three of them, are nice and not problematic guys at all.

All in all, I have gone through numerous enjoyable moments in here, and would not swap my flat for any other. The walls are full of memories :P

P.S. if you have managed to go through the whole note, thanks a lot.
Greets :)!
