Summer hurrraaaaaaaaaaaa...

As we all noticed summer is very close. The past few days were not the best May days with all that rain that we got and coldness, but now we can feel the nice and worm summer weather getting closer and closer. I have to say that I can't wait. I love summer and I always really enjoy summer. I love to swim and be in a water so that is one of the reason why I love summer so much. Summer of course also reminds me of vocation - and no school. Not that I do not winter or fall. I love skiing and Christmas time which is all about winter time.I believe so that everybody love summer and have good memories with summer and that fantstic hot weather.

Funny movie - liar, liar.

Last Sunday I watched that super funny movie with a friend of mine called " liar, liar." What I funny movie. It was a fantastic comedy. The whole idea is that a 5 years old boy living with his mother because his parents divorced wish that his father didn't tell a lie for just one day. His wish comes true and his father who is a lawyer and needs to pretty much not to tell the truth all the time , ends up by telling the true and not be able to lie about anything. So from that moment some of the situations are very funny, especially when he is about to tell a lie and he just can't do it, and all we can hear is that funny sound coming out from his mouth. That was classic. I was laughing so hard that my cheeks hurt. He also got to realize how much he loves his son , and from now on he tries to be a better father and be always honest with his son. The little boy is s happy that his wish came true and on his next birthday he wishes that his parents get together again and that also comes true. The movie eds with the happy ending and everybody seems to be very happy.

Happy mother's day.

On Saturday the whole United States celebrated The Mother's Day. I send it with my uncle , my aunt and my cousin who is a mother already. We BBQ-ed and had a great time. Of course, there was something missing in my heart - my own mother. She could not be here and celebrate with me because she is in Poland. Even though, she is so far away , and we always celebrate Mother's day May 26th in Poland I called her and we spoke for hours and hours. My mom is like my best friend forever. I can always tell her everything that bothers me or about the things and the way they make me feel. It is so good to have a person like that , who you can always trust and count on. I have to say that it wasn't always like that. Now I understand when I am older and I realized already that my mom always wants just the best for me and everything she does and did she did to protect me and keep me safe. I even did not know how many things we have in common which is obvious because she is my mother and we have the same blood. I respect and love my mother form my whole heart and I would never want something happened to her. I always want her to be happy and safe and I will do everything to make sure she is ok.
Bruises the book I read.

I had been reading Bruisesd by Anke de Vries for the past three or four weeks. That book just sucked me in right away. As I mentioned before it's about one girls who is tortured and psychically abused by her mother. Some of the fragments are heartbreaking and very strong. I was getting very emotional reading it. I guess that is what makes that book pretty interesting and real.I was really wondering and very curious how is the end of the book going to look like , and where is the main character Judith going to end up. I hoped that her mother will get better and the whole drama will be over. I was not right and the end was a little different. Her mother of course , did not change at all and she kept beating up Judith. Everybody around her tried to help her and noticed that there is something going on in Judith family.Her mother decided to move to the different town and Judith had to change her school also. She was not happy in a new town and she decided to come back to the old town and ask her friend and the teachers for help. She escaped from home and returned to the old place all by herself. That is how the book is ending up. I would really want to know what is going to be next, but that is only a mysterious question.
Painful brake up.

Breaking up with the person that someone used to be for a long time is really painful. The couples keep breaking up , fighting and they work it up again and get together again. That is what is happening most of the time. I myself just went trough a not nice at all break up with my boyfriend.It was not easy even though I had a reason to do it and I was very sure about it. I cried, had a hard time and difficult days from time to time. Today I am doing great and I don't even think about it anymore. I am so glad that I got over it . Unfortunately, not everybody is strong enough to do it and get over with it. My best friend is a great example for it. Her boyfriend broke up with her, which also was very mysterious and not clear why did he do it. She got very sick. She cried and did not eat I believe for days and days after that. I visited her and I tried to talk to her to cherish her a little , but nothing seemed to work.I was very worry about her. She even quiet her job witch was totally shocking for me.I felt helpless and her friends as well. We talked and new that we have to do something to get our happy and party friend back, and make her forget about her ex- boyfriend.So we came up with the idea to take her out and do everything she wants to make her feel better.Our plan came true and we all went out- all 5 of us. We had so much fun and my girlfriend was so happy. She realized how important are good friends and that they never leave you and always be there when you need them the most. Today she is fine and totally forgot about her ex- boyfriend.
THE FINALS.....

As we know we are were close to the end of the spring semester. What a craziness !!! So many things to do , and I feel like the first day of the semester was yesterday. Time goes so fast. I have tree finals this week and it's just too much for me. I can't wait until Friday , when I am going to be done with everything.I also can't wait for the Summer vocation and relax a little. The spring time and spring semester aren't my favourite. I mean it is so cool that spring is coming and everything looks just so awesome, but the whole nice weather and changes make me very lazy. I can't think about studying and I can't really focus on anything. That is why my grades from the spring semester aren't so great, because I do not have enough motivation to keep them up. I am sure that there is more students like me. I just can't help it.All I think about and want is summer. OOOOOOOOOOhh I can't wait. One more week Hurraaaaaaaaaaa
The Beardsley ZOO in Bridgeport.

Last month I made a trip to the Beardsley ZOO with tree boys that I take care of. The Zoo is located in Bridgeport. I have never been there before, but I have heard a lot about it. It was so much fun for all including me. We saw a lot of tropical animals and birds. A mother lion just gave a bird to the baby lion and the employee had a contest who can come up with the best name for the new born baby lion. Me and my boys were very interested to sign up on a list and put the name for a baby lion , but lines were horrible. It would take forever to get to the list.Sow we just decided to enjoy the day at the zoo and watch the animals.Some of them were very scary for me, for example, wolfs and the alligators. I am also so afraid of the snakes, and there was a lot of them.Good thing they were behind the glass and they couldn't get out of there.My boys loved the place and so did I. It was fun to see all the wild animals. Although, the zoo was not as big as I expected , it was very worthwhile to visit. I know that I have to come back there again , maybe during the summer. If you haven't seen it yet, you should visited soon.

Krakow - the oldest city in Poland.

I would like to introduce you one of the oldest cities in Poland which is Krakow. Krakow counts about 750 years if not more than that. It is also one of my favourite cities. I have visited Krakow in about five times so far. For centuries Krakow was a capital of Poland ,but not anymore. There are so many old and antics churches, castles , museums and many, many more objects to visit.Every year there are thousands and thousands of tourists from all over the world coming to visit that incredible and worthwhile place to see. Krakow also has a great and very old tradition. some of the traditions , like for example the tradition of the bell ringers are kept for 600 hundred years. That tradition is to swing one of the biggest bells which is called Zygmunts Bell , every hour for six hundred years for the entire world to hear. It is pretty amazing isn't it?The bell is hudge so the team of the bell ringers counts about 12 people. The legend also says that if you touch that bell and make the wish your wish will come true. If anybody ever will be in Poland and in the city Krakow I encourage you to visit the Zygmunts Tower and touch the Zygmunts Bell.

Homework with my friend.

I always do my homework on Saturdays. Sometimes I have so much homework because I have been taking three classes this semester. I always leave the most difficult homework for Saturday. That is what makes me hate the Saturdays. It reminds me of my homework and school. I have been doing that for four months in a row and I feel like I can not take it no longer. I really wanted to change it. I was thinking what can make my Saturday look better and help me get my homework done as well. i could not come up with anything , but last week one of my friends called me and suggested coming over and doing homework with her together since she had so much homework to do also. I thought "What a great idea!" So I went over to her house and first we made some wonderful lunch and then we sat in a living room to get our assignments done. That was a terrific Saturday. I just loved it. She also had a great time. We decided to do it every Saturday. It was not as painful like it used to be every Saturday.
An immigrant dream....

All of us ( I mean the class students) are from different countries from all over the world. Coming to the United States we scarified a lot and also faced up a lot. Some of us left all families and friends back in our native countries. Not everyone has the same chances to go back and visit them also.Sometimes we do not see our families for months and even years like for example me. I haven't seen my family and best friends from Poland for three years and a half. Sometimes I feel like I can't take it anymore especially when I know how much my mother and my siblings miss me. It is really heartbreaking. What makes me feel good and go back with my thoughts back in Poland are my dreams. At least 3 to 4 times a week I dream about Poland and my whole family and friends back there. In my dreams I can see everything like it was yesterday and everybody. I see the places, my room, my house , and I remember every detail there. That is magical and it always make me feel good and not to forget about the place where I am from. I believe that you guys have the same dreams, and it is good to have them. They keep that harmony in our hearts.
