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.

Fishing can be fun....

In about a month and a half ago I went to fish with a friend of mine. He is a big fishing guy and also so great at it. I was never really interested in fishing, and it even seemed to be a little boring sport for me.I always thought that there is much more fun stuff to do and more fun. So he encourage me to go to fish with him one Saturday. I still do not know how did he do it, but he did it. He got me to go fishing with him. So here we are on the boat in the open Ocean with a friends of his and one couple. The beginning was very slow. We could not catch anything, and I was about to give up and just go home. Suddenly I felt something was pulling my fishing rod. It was so strong that I needed help to roll it up. It was a quiet big action.I was pretty sure that I will loose that fish , and also so exited because it was my first fish I have ever caught. After a few minutes of that action I got my fish out of the water. It was a very nice bonito fish. I was so proud of myself and I guess I became a big fun of fishing. There is nothing more exiting than catching a fish 10 pounds big. It was a impressive experience that I will never forget. I can not wait for another fishing trip.

Shopping....

I have not gone shopping for a pretty very long time. There is always something to do on a weekends and I have no time at all during the week. So on Sunday I decided to go for a big spring shopping searching for some new shoes and dress. I called my friend and she of course is always up for shopping. We went together to the Stamford Mall. I was a 100% sure that I might spent a lot of money that day. I just really felt like spending.I was ready for big spend. We were walking the mall and I just could not find anything I liked. I mean really nothing. I was so mad at myself because there is always something that i like or need to get, even if it's a little accessories. We walked for an about four hours and nothing. Of course , my friend spend a lot of money, and she also got everything she wanted. I did not get anything. We left the Mall and i was so upset and hungry.I decided to go out for a good dinner instead of shopping and that is how i ended up at the sushi restaurant- which is my favourite. After a good sushi I always get my good mood back and that is what happened. well at least i ate good this Sunday.

When I grow up....

Everybody had their own dreams when we were little about what do I want to do when I grow up. I was a big dreamer about it. Now I am telling you right now my secret dreams so please do not laugh. I always wanted to be a famous singer or a dancer. I loved to see the video clips with all those pretty girls dancing and singing around. I really wanted to be like them.I even went to take some dance classes and I used to sing in a choir.I gave up too fast I know that. It was a little too much for the 8 years old girl and i thought I can't take it anymore. My mother encouraged me to continue that and she explained me that it takes a lot to achieve something and i should be patient. She also used to dance in a band and she even finished the musical high school. She used to dance and play violin, and my grandmother as well. sometimes I still dream about it , but now is weigh too late too do that.It is good to dream and have dreams. I just was not strong enough to keep my dreams up , but I encourage everybody to do it.

Bruises - very interesting book.
In about three weeks ago out teacher gave us an assignment to go down to the library and choose the book that we are going to read to the end of that semester. I picked up three of them , and all three of them were interesting enough. There was one book that just totally caught my attention and i decided to continue that book. The name of the book is Bruises by Anke de Vries.The book is about 8 years old girl living with her mother and two years old brother. The mother is obsessed with her son Dennis and she would do anything for him , and also she treats her daughter Judith very poorly. She bits her horribly for nothing. Judith gets even tics from that. she wets her bed every night and she can not control that anymore. The teachers at school and also the neighbors starting to notice something, and her best friend Michael as well. I am very curious what is going to happen next. I have not finished the book yet. I am just hoping that there will be some happy end for her.
