I'm getting pretty behind on these updates, there is renovations on our buildings staircase and it fucks with the internet unfortunately.
After that weekend what basically happened is normal school/university stuff, being excited at the slightest hint of sun and warmth, seeing Kazuhisa Uchihashi play [which was fantastic]
this is the best clip i can find of him playing
Then Chris's dad broke his collarbone when out riding his motorbike. The river, and thus most of the South of Poland flooded, so did bits of Warsaw. I am blond now.
Then, mostly learning for exams. doing tests in lessons. learning for tests and for exams and trying to write end of year essays.
One evening we went out to meet Adam and there was a huge, epic storm coming, the light was so magnificent, alas my phone cannot capture its majesty.
we went to the center of town where we met Adam when the storm was only a forthcoming attraction to the South of us
we walked around drinking beer, the streets mostly empty, the air heavy, and that strange filtered light, with huge lightning flashes. it was an extremely pleasant time. the storm never arrived passing south of where we were . and the night ended like this
Then, studying 10-12 hours a day. i have never studied so much, so hard, so consistently. my whole life i have stuck firmly of the 'ah fuckit' style of studying. but i wanted to try this time, and all thanks to Chris [really] i managed it. i have actually begun to care. i want to pass, i want good marks and above all i want the knowledge. i like what we're learning, even the hard stupid bits. this is a complete revelation for me.
It paid off. not only have i passed first year [5th time lucky!] but i actually have good grades on a bunch of stuff and ok grades on the other stuff. Dude, i have A's! its insane.
ENOUGH!
i got fitted for a bra so i could actually have one that fit. To my surprise i am not a 75 D, but 60 (that's 28 my American friends) FF. i am suspicious of these results.
And now exams are over, and that time was so intense, that now i have no idea what to do with myself. i feel totally burnt out. i need help relaxing.
And we saw Weedeater, Black Cobra and Saviours on sunday at a crappy metal club here in Warsaw and it was awesome. Especially Saviours.
