It turns out getting back home is going to be just as interesting as getting here was. And I'll have to leave the hotel before 4 a.m. to catch a plane at 5 p.m.. *sigh* So much for getting some sleep this week.

But I haven't even written how I got here yet.( That was a long and interesting day... )

On the train home from Warsaw, I spent almost five hours happily talking to some strangers. I almost wish we'd exchanged phone numbers at some point, except I know we'd never get around to calling each other anyway. Still, it was nice ( Read more... )

I finally dared to check how I did on the exam. The professor has been merciful. Of course, I still have nowhere to write my mark down, because the Dean's Office screwed up again.

On the train home I met Catharine. To my surprise, she walked up to me and started talking. A crowded train isn't really a good place for inconvenient questions, so I ( Read more... )

This morning I was woken up by the sound of something knocking on my window. This doesn't happen very often, since I live on the second floor. I opened my eyes and turned to look. There was a bird there, some sort of crow, tapping the glass with its beak. When I looked at it, it turned away and croaked loudly. Several potential responses ran ( Read more... )

I got a letter today from the SKM, telling me to pay a huge fine within seven days, or else. It doesn't even really say what the hell I've been fined for. Finally, I managed to figure out (Mind you, I can't be sure) it's probably for that one time ages ago when I refused to pay for riding the train without a ticket on grounds that I HAD A DAMN ( Read more... )

You know what would suck? Failing an exam I was really well prepared for after I had to come back from my vacation early just to write it.
How could something like that happen? Well, I could get 15 minutes late for the 30 minute long theoretical exam, despite having left home 15 minutes early just to prevent that.
And how could that happen? Well, ( Read more... )

I just got fined for riding the train without a ticket. I refuse to pay that fine for ideological reasons. This time those reasons are: I HAD A DAMN TICKET ( Read more... )

I saw a movie today that made me think about all sorts of strange things (Lots of things do. It can be pretty distracting sometimes.) and now I feel like I need to tell you this story. Or possibly stories. I'm not sure. So here it goes.
I only really realised it recently (In circumstances that, had it been love rather than mere friendship, would ( Read more... )

Thanks to the 'modernisation' of the SKM what time the trains actually leave has nothing to do with the schedule this week. This morning I had to wait nearly an hour! Normally there's a train every 5-10 minutes at that time of the day, but this morning many strange things happened. When a train arrived at the platform you couldn't even be sure ( Read more... )

I'm back!
How was my Christmas, you ask? (Once again, noone does, but I'll pretend you do. Hey, I'm trying to tell a story here, right?) Not very good, actually. I used to love Christmas, but that was some time ago. Christmases were different back then. I don't think they'll be like that again anytime soon. I really realised just how serious it was ( Read more... )
