The Neverending Story

Maybe it's because of my communicative problems, because I can't explain myself or because I'm reaching some points of unknown stress, but I'm still dealing with the registration in university and finding out how I'm registered for courses I never asked for or not-registered in some of the mandatory ones. So much fun.

Last week I travelled all the way to university at 16:45 to see a closed door without any kind of note saying: dude, we're not in this class anymore, not even in this building. Asking the janitors (my new archenemies, by the way) was an adventure, as always.
Having lessons from 8:00 till 16:30 makes Jack a dull boy...

P.s.: no wonder why I get sick so often. The streets are freezing cold (freezing cold for me, m'kay??), so you're all wrapped in jackets, hats and scarves. And when you decide to take the metro/bus/tram you discover an army of human heaters wearing half of their closet.
How on Earth is it possible that they never sweat and I literally melt??
I'll need a towel to get dry everytime I take the metro whenever it's under 0ºC or I'll just die.

The woman who wasn't there

It has nothing to do with the movie, seriously, I only chose that title because...
PLOT TWIST: she has always been there! (hm, like in the movie).
And I was the one who never went to the right place. Why?, good question. I don't know.

So this means I finally met my coordinator, who happens to be a very nice and friendly teacher in my faculty.
Which means things are going on in the right direction. Let's hope they go also at the right speed.
Although I'm afraid "speed" is a concept applied merely on driving.

P.s.: Sorry for the spoiler.
P.s.2: Tyler Durden was Jack the whole time. Soylent Green is made of people. Darth Vader is Luke's father. Titanic sinks. His friends were part of his beautiful mind. Neo is the chosen one. Goku wins. L dies. Kira too.

Doctor Ludwik Zamenhof

During my visit to Białystok I could see the house where Ludwik Zamenhof, a.k.a. Doctor Esperanto (one of my idols), was born and lived.

It's in ulica Ludwika Zamenhofa, named after him, next to the city center or ratusz (city hall).

Ulica Ludwika Zamenhofa (Captain Obvious to the rescue!)

The only thing I could see was the building from the outside and the monument in a square close to the house. It would be amazing if they had a museum or a library (they probably do, but I couldn't check it yet!).


On the inscription in Polish and Esperanto we can read: This is the house in which on the 15th of december 1859 was born the creator of the Esperanto Language, Doctor Ludwik Zamenhof. The building is part of The Ludwik Zamenhof Centre.
