all you need

An inviting sound of wooden beams cracking under my feet and astonishing lights of the stars above me when I lay my tired head on a linden-smelling pillow may mean only one thing - I am finally home! On Monday I've finally got all my signs in the index book, so I could pack up and go home. Fuck yeah.

Now, it all sounds very poetic - even the linden, but the truth is there are still bills to pay, roommates to find, things to do etc. and the fuckin' linden imprecates an uncountable mass of bees and other little buzzing shit right in front of my room and inside. That means, during a day I practically do not have a room and in the evening I need to transform into a mosquito hunter.

Therefore, I began with implementing my holy mission of reading everything I want daily. Yesterday we've visited my auntie and I kind of got fused with lit. Just look at it.

books + ice coffee = otp

And I don't even mention all those ebooks I still keep on my hard drive :P. Also, the weather is just perfect. The only thing I need to do is finding a shady place like living room, sit and get sunk for a few hours. I feel like I've really needed it.

Of course, reading is not my only entertainment now. I've recently started playing some games. I especially liked Remember Me, because it's all about omg so much fancy technology and I don't even mind that it's quite linear. The plot is fine, gameplay is very intuitive, bosses are all badass and NeoParis looks interesting. Also, the OST - OMG, the soundtrack is simply amazing! All the tracks are so cool.

I've even bought myself a gaming pad, since I was getting crazy while trying to play Tomb Raider - at last, after a few days of playing AC I've fully learnt how to use it. Though, I have a feeling it misses some kind of a joystick or sth since it's not that easy to operate a camera without the mouse and, on addition to that, when you cannot make the camera automatic. (to my surprise, in AC there's no such option!)

I also started writing, right, though I find it hard to concentrate when there is always something to do around the house :P. I just keep telling myself to stop procrastinating and "Why do you care, you are not Shakespeare anyway so it won't hurt to write".

As for now: me-0 procrastination-1.   (even though I've almost finished writing my presentation for next week anime con: still, haven't finished=doesn't count)

a qui la faute

Yesterday I found myself in one of the numerous situations when this pic became so relatable I could literally print it on my face. Ok, maybe not literally. Oh, you know what I mean.

We were waiting for our law lecture to start and some of my group was talking about well pretty much normal topics like getting married, organizing weddings, taking internships and buying stuff for their flats and so on. And then I had this great unspoken bound with one of my group mates and she asked me sth like "They are all speaking about this adult life. Are we in the right universe?" and I said "I don't know, I'm going to try out some mobile games today."

And she was like "And I am going to watch race cars."

I have no idea what is happening with this week but everything is so full of absurd. Starting with my sudden realization that even when you're taking Master's course your teachers will still behave like they are very hurt when something does not work their way. That is funny actually because I don't remember this being a problem during my BA course? Maybe I am thinking about it in brighter colors now, when I don't have to spend my all life in that school, but I guess it was not that bad when it comes to implementing own ideas. Idk.

At least it led me to relistening whole Le Roi Soleil playlist and I have to say it fits perfectly learning for law classes.

Oh yes I hear this one in my head when I learn for these classes.

Another absurd caught me yesterday morning when me and pućka realized that even when they ask you to come for an interview later they can tell you they won't accept you for the internship because you are too old. SHIZUS FUCKIN' CHRIST. Too old. For an internship. In the days when our biggest problem is that 20sths are not getting any jobs! I mean, people, srsly. Who is gonna pay for your retirement? Who is gonna pay for my retirement D:? And then they tell u some shit like it was better to apply for a job in This&That 6 years ago because they weren't so strict about the candidates. It is rly absurd.

And the last absurd, but probably not the least, since the week has not ended yet, is that I got an interview! Yup, yup. At last! After the whole year of sending CVs to each and every language school in this city. I am not much optimistic though about this one but: a) it won't hurt to try b) I rly would like to work as a lg teacher for some time and c) I have a new motto that everything must have some start line, so it'd be a waste not to try it out. Of course the first thing that came to my mind is that I need to take a look at my grammar first and rememeber some metodhology shit but I have almost a week to do so.

Actually, I developed some other motto too, that is actually borrowed from I guess Hemingway? Is that "Write drunk, edit sober". It actually works perfect lately, especially when yesterday we got this idea with pućka so that we write an erotic one-shot. Well, it's true we do write mostly parodies so it couldn't be serious but I rly like it. All those urban metaphors about having sex. Srsly. It's more cracovian than a pigeon eating a bagle.

I haven't given it a second reading yet though. But I will. Eventually.
Just not today.

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:.
