Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs...but it's your choice to either scream or enjoy the ride.

I didn't post anything through the weekend, because I was busy working/getting prepared to go to Warsaw/enjoying Warsaw. Oh yeah, I forgot. I was always sitting in the JLPT exam. Yeah.

Basically on Saturday I was working half of the day and then I met up with a friend to... I don't know why. But we ended up trying on every pair of glasses found in a store called Fieldmann. That friend wants to buy a new pair, so I wanted to help her choose a nice ones. I found a nice ones for myself too. A lila coloured ones - totally cute. But I don't really know if I look that good in them.

Oh yeah, I did it. The most expensive glasses from brands like Ray Ban or Gucci haha~! ^^)v

And so, soon the Sunday came. I woke up when it was still night, cold and dark outside and set off to the Main Railway Station. I saw that they set up a skating rink just in front of the station btw.
But it was too early, so noone was ice-skating yet :P
The train was late of course, so we got to Warsaw a bit later, but we still got some time for my friend to buy herself two new T-shirts in H&M and to eat some crappy food in McDonalds (KFC was too far!!!).

We stalked one girl who was holding some Japanese language materials and that's how we found the place of exam. The exam itself was.... HARD! I mean, it was difficult. The listening part was really annoying, the sound was weird and the people were talking in a weird accent.

Fedior and her face flattened because of my low-quality mobile camera. Well, she looks more Japanese now.
A friend from Toruń, who came all the way to Warsaw for the exam. Although he never prepared to it. He completed a few exercises before the exam. I bet he will pass it with flying colours.

But what came after the exam was far more interesting! We went with our friend living in Warsaw to eat and then to see the Old Town. Kohei took us to a nice Italian restaurant, where we ate a lot of good food and then we went to see the Christmas Market. The streets of Warsaw looked beautifully, all lit up. There was a huge christmas tree in violet colour and a nice Christmas market, where we drank hot honey alcohol.

I'm illegally using a photo taken by Kohei-san, because it's way better than the one I took. You can see Kraków-team and the huge Christmas tree in the background.
After a loooong looooong day we went back to Kraków and I felt asleep as soon as I lied down on my bed.

I used to live a very social life and never spend much solitary time looking at birds or reading.

I need to raise a vital issue. But I'll start with a confession. Buses and trams has made a significant contribution to my social life. Starting from primary school I was commuting to school by buses or trams. In high school there were many other students who decided on independace from parents and a bit of adulthood, and this was also a starting point for my social life. Weird? Nooo! Just imagine those 2h hourse of commuting everyday, inside the bus with people from your school. You have enough time to learn something new about your friends.

Now, that I'm not a tudent officially anymore, the bussocial life continues! Lately I'm meeting my senior from university like three times a week, it's like a full fledged bus-relationship! This morning I met my teacher from high school, only to find out that I missed a blues concert that took place in my high school two days ago!

I won't mention exchanges of looks and smiles with unknown people in bus, including handsome guys and nice old ladies. Which is rare. Nice old ladies, I mean. Believe me, riding a crowded bus makes the dark side of every human come out........

But, the bus-meetings are a huge part of my social life and I won't ever deny it. No matter how smelly, crowded, dirty or suffocating the buses might seem to be, I admit their role in my life!

Santa's Head Quarters. Getting ready for the December mission.

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

The first day of the month is the most important day at work, because you need to review the whole month. It was the first time for me to do stuff like this, so I came like 15 minutes earlier to get round to it. I really hope I did everything correctly, but I won't know it until the package I sent, reaches the company.

After work I went to new confectionery called Beard Papa's, which is the cafe imported from Japan! The so-called puffs were delicious!

Well, that would be all for today. I'm dead tired! See you!

Department store in the farest place from my apartment.
