T.I.P. #3 Polish Girls Speedwalk

I don't know if I am the only one that has noticed this, but the women of Poland all seem to be endowed with some sort of super power. Nothing else can explain how they can walk so fast without even seeming to make an effort. Take any random day when I am walking to school, or just strolling around in the city, and I hear a ballad of high heels approaching. The competitive side within me tells me to not let myself get overtaken by someone walking in such, albeit beautiful, painful and disabling contraptions , so I quicken my pace. I get all cocky like "yea, that will show them who is the faster one here, shawty please, I climbed Mt. Kenya, I know how to walk like a boss!!" As I strut my pedestrian skills I hear the ballad quicken its pace and the clicks of the heels come ever closer. "Whuuuut," I think to myself, "how the heck is she still keeping pace with me, I should be like miles ahead by now" I keep on  speeding forward, almost breaking into a little sweat, and then all of a sudden, like out of nowhere, she passes me. And then another passes me, then 3 then 4 then 5. Not only do they just pass me, which in itself sort of caught me by surprise, but they do it without seemingly putting any effort into it. They just like float forward like some sort of 22nd century hover craft, while I am mangling ahead all "Dirty Jobs Excavators Style". I don't really know what to make of this, but needless to say I have been thoroughly humbled, and no longer try to win a race I know I am destined to lose.

But I see the positive side in this, when they pass me, at least I get the chance to look at them ;)

Break Around the Corner

Almost There! After some grueling couple of weeks the much awaited May break has arrived. Last day of classes are today, and then I can look forward to a whole week of NO SCHOOL! Logically, most of my Swedish classmates are returning to the motherland, but not me, instead my family is coming over to see how I have it here, and to experience Poland (!) =) I must say I am excited, the weather promises to be quite stupendous, with temperatures said to go as high as 26 on Monday Olsztyn is going to be reaching Ibiza levels. I have heard that in Sweden it is not quite so warm, so I count myself a winner in this situation.
On a side note, check out the Arsenal vids I have syndicated (just learned how to do that yesterday!) at the bottom right here on my blog. RVP's speech at the PFA Awards shows his commitment to the club quite clearly I daresay.
Now I am off to an intense PE class, ciao bella.

Lato!

Early summer, or mature spring in any case, found its way to Olsztyn today, with the sun piercing through the clouds and waking up the city. Old Town sprung to life with all restaurants serving food outside, street musicians playing everything from Gotye to old Polish folk music. The latter being played on something that looked like a box (see picture), I am not quite sure if I am meant to understand what it is, but it sounded decent in any case. The bikers dusted of their MCs, a fair number which were outside my window just a moment ago in fact, and drove through town, as if to drive away any little hint of cold weather. After the shock snowfall last month though, I think it is only going to get warmer and warmer from now on. Maybe time to go for a dip in the lake by the dorm soon =) Nah, not yet maybe... 

Anyway, enjoy your day guys, wherever you all are, and relax to this spring melody by the vastly underrated Ludovico Einaudi whilst sipping on some freshly made lemonade or something =)
