So now it's the famous time of Juwenalia at AGH in Krakow. As told to
me by all of the people here in Krakow it's the week when you don't
go to class and drink all day, everyday, for one week. It lasts from
Monday this week to Sunday. Every day there are concerts, and parades
in Rynek, the city center.
BUT I have classes, and when I didn't have classes I was with my
cousin. Now today on Wednesday, when I write this, I have classes all
day again and realize again that I have my cousin's birthday in
Hanover, Germany called Project P (yes it's a Project X reference). I
had to make a choice, enjoy Juwenalia in Krakow, or enjoy a Project X
themed party (except I won't know anybody) or stay in Krakow for
Juwenalia. I decided to take the choice that would make for a better
story: Hanover. So the Wednesday morning I am with my cousin at her
flat and I get a call from my cousin Robert to come as soon as
possible. So I booked a Polski Bus (get bus service) and headed out
to Opole to my cousin Robert, because he fortunately was going to
Hanover too, but for a different reason. I booked it at 2215, because
my last class ends at 2130... So this involved me missing a concert
of Donatan & Cleo on a man-made beach on my campus... but that's
okay. May I'll come next year, or some other year. It's always around
this time :D
At the moment we are driving from Opole to Hanover, and we are
passing by some road... I've seen five.. now six prostitutes at
corners, it's sad. But this morning I had this type of food or meal
called, nalesznik francuski, and it's a type of pancake that inside
has mushrooms, ham, cheese and on top it has some type of sauce. It'
was a very nice surprise compare to what I'm used to having here. So
anyway we passes this road of prostitutes and now we are on the
highway in the Fiat Panda which we are transporting. It's a shame
that the company that owns Lamborghini makes a car that has only 60
horsepower.... Will check back later.

Now I'm on the bus back to Krakow from Hannover for an amazing 56
Euro... Even though it's cheaper than driving it's way more expensive
than a polish bus would have been. This feel like my flight
situation. Leaving home is cheap, but coming back has its
extraordinary cost: $950 for the flight back home. This leaves me
with only enough money to live pretty much for the next 2 months, no
additional plans. Ukraine next weekend, Budapest the second weekend
of June, Opole for the last 1-2 weeks that I'm in Poland with my
family. That's pretty much it.
So let me tell you about my weekend... I haven't written about the
trip to Zakopane that I went on, which was the first trip I went on
with ESN which is a big group for exchange students here. So
**SPOILER ALERT** this is what happened in Zakopane too:
I got sick, but here I could actually measure how sick I was: 38.8
was my highest, and I got sick somehow the night I got to Hannover. I
felt completely fine then BAM it came out of nowhere. It feels like
strep, so I'll go to the doctor after my two final exams on Monday
and Tuesday. I didn't visit Hannover like I wanted to, because I was
laying in bed sick the entire two full days I was there. It's a good
thing that I have another chance to go back when I am in Opole.
I will say I did go to a few parties: a “Project P” party (yes
Project X reference, but it wasn't nearly as crazy) which we spent
the next two days cleaning the place he rented, that same cousin's
18th birthday party (small, 20 people, too many young
people), and a first communion. It was fun, but because I was sick I
didn't enjoy myself as much as I would have. I also didn't drink more
than 6 drinks while I was there, which going to these parties I would
expect a lot more. Compared to everyone else I was an angel :D
I don't regret not doing Juwenalia, I'd rather see something
different completely than something different in a place that reminds
me of the semi-dull day to day routine that I have. By the way to all
those reading this who is trying to see how classes may be here,study
in the beginning and don't let anyone fool you. If you don't try you
may pass, but if you want a perfect score it's very difficult, and
that is what you need to strive for otherwise you may lose sight of
what your base reason for coming here is.
I can update with a full post on Hannover the next time I go, which
will happen one way or another.
And mom if you are reading this, could you send me one of my
prowojazdes? Nie chciem jade bez prowojazde dwa razy xD
Autobahn I will drive on you while I am here. Autobahn means
“freedom” in English.
