The Students' Days easy came easy went - weird enough, that's the first time I've actually had Students' Days during which I did not have to study. I mean, well, maybe I should and maybe I did, a little, but the point is: I did not have to. At all. Oh the joy of not taking English major.

I am amused by the fact that spring has not totally forgotten on how to spring. Say what you will, (yes, I actually use such fancy lexical items as "boohoohoo, say what you will, like a sir") nothing makes one more lazy and productive at the same time as good old sunny days, full of nice, warm sunlight. At least till around 11AM,  when the Sun indeed finds its way to our windows.

So what are the things you can do while having so much precious time and sunny days? Presumably, I would concern doing every single thing to avoid over thinking, like, attend a Museums' Night festival. We went to Archeology Museum, which was pretty cool, although they didn't change much in the exhibition since my middle school times or so :P. Then on our way to Manggha Museum we've spotted this gorgeous night view of the riverside (of course could not be captioned by my camera, but it still looks nice on this photo).

The Manggha Museum was really crowded and it was hard to enjoy the exhibition with all those people around but I'm happy of the possibility to actually get to this gallery, since the last time I've been to Manggha was when I was like.. idk, 5 yo? Anyway, we've also attended a panel concerning geisha's make up and dress - this was pretty fun. Though, at first there was so much people, but later we got some sits at the front so I could even record some movies. I have to say this whole make up thing must have been a torture for this  girl - it took so long and she couldn't even open here eyes - I am pretty sure I would mess it up completely if I was the one to sit there :P.

Which does not change the fact that I still would like to try a kimono someday (and a hanbok too~...).

Do you know this kind of reader's hangover? I mean the state when you finish a book and you suddenly do not know what to do with your life anymore? I feel the same thing after finishing Bioshock 2007. Idk, maybe I get too attached to the hero or the story (or the possibility of keeping telekinesis right in your left hand? That's also possible), but I really feel so empty after the final. The easiest thing to do now would probably be just sitting down and getting my hands on the second part of the game but I don't think it's a good idea, since the summer exams are slowly getting closer.

Oh summer exams, just the reminder of this phrase makes me feel goosebumps all over my body D:.

just breathe

While answering the question you would never ask, yes I am currently trying to do everything in order not to stay calm and just focus on preparing for classes. That includes even cleaning my desktop, about which lately  I really do not care that much - I must be pretty desperate, hm. 

We're having Students' Days lately so to celebrate this fabulous event we went for a students' walk in the downtown on Friday w/Arasz and Pućka. We've even prepared some bento boxes :D. Owh my, I have to say onigiri with sesame was an awesome idea - pretty much as good as making those miniature tortillas and leaving apple-bunnies in lemon juice mixed with ginger~. I'm getting hungry just thinking about this, oh. We've also made a fabulous dinner yesterday with the greatest no-baking cake ever... which apparently transformed into ice creams and later in the morning to an ice rock, left in the freezer :P. Though, it made a surprisingly good dessert, just combining some cookies, ricotta cream, fruits and whipped cream. Especially when it was frozen (maybe just not to the rock state).

Obvious bento photos, of course.

My sis is having her HS exams this week and it started to make me wonder if I was very frightened about everything when I was finishing my HS. I mean, I probably was and I'm pretty sure I've been freaking out because of all this self-dependence stuff coming up on me from everywhere. Besides, tbh it wasn't that long ago, but I must make a point that I really don't remember it. I wish I could write here something that would tell such high schoolers things like "C'mon, no reason to panic, I've been there, I know it" but I can't really decide on what would it be to panic about or where I've exactly "been". Guess, college got definitely more traumatic than some HS finals after all, so maybe I could write something about this experience. Though here comes another thing to my mind - maybe it's better to leave it a little blank. Beside the fact that  everyone gets different ideas about all this whole uni life beginnings shit.

Gosh, I'm speaking nonsense.

This week I've watched Silent Hill: Revelations movie and I have to say - it's the worst movie I've seen lately. It should be renamed The Talking Hill or The Hill Of Lost Expectations. The plot does not make much sense, the scary moments aren't scary at all - I think even if I would watch it in 3D they can't be much scary to me. To the top of that they transformed The Pyramidehead into some kind of Sebastian Michaelis of the main heroine... and as far as I still have any respect for the series, I just can't get through the idea that one can really escape SH or be raised in this shit. I mean, come on! It should be all about the guilt and some personal hell, not the quest to idk freakin' ghost town. - that's why I was so disappointed by the plot, because half of the movie I was wondering what did the girl do or who did she kill that she's being haunted by SH. Haunted by SH - this thing should already ring a bell in my mind that sth's wrong. Anyway, at least I liked this smooth ending with the opening for the next part of the game. (so I am not that heartless and I actually enjoyed anything)

Things I should be doing now: probably learning very hard for Monday test; writing: school presentations, essays, my script. something important (or at least keep on planning them);  already printing those essays.

Things I am doing lately: cleaning house; exploring the garden with cats; shopping; reading Castle (has just bought A Brewing Storm ebook and I am so excited to read it) ; making up with my Feedly; baking these crunchy goodies:

Well, I guess I am having a happy May weekend. As far as there is sun and a lot of good foodie I am pretty happy. I am even fine with this boring rain we had yesterday as far as it gave us a beautiful night of storm. Well, I think the fact that one of my fav Korean female singers, Younha, realized a new song gives this week some more positive points :D. I love her voice, I can't stop listening to this:

Although, I think this weekend is making me a little more lazy than usual. I mean, I wasn't expecting myself to work hard when I'm home, 'cause it never turns out to be a good idea. The thing is, everything home got so engrossing I am spending here every minute not even on celebrating being a couch potato. I clean, I wash windows, I cooked the best chicken breast w/herbs ever... and I enjoyed it.

Of course, I am also writing, though I probably should be working harder on this, just like I made a point above. Though, I am pretty close to finishing planning Act I of my script. Hope, it will be ready before I come back to Cracow. Ganbatte me. Maybe I will get the last acceleration after meeting w/my friends tomorrow.

Also, instead of doing anything important I am currently spending my afternoons on playing Bioshock - turning on this game was the best idea ever we could get w/Arasz :D. I love it, I am so happy I can finally play it, even though it's quite old I still can't believe how awesome work its  studio could do as for 2007. It is fucking awesome and I can't wait trying Bioshock 2 soon. I think now I need to add a "writing for WJ" case to my "should be doing now" list, oops.~
