The Beautiful City of Rzeszów

It's been almost 2 weeks since I came here and I finally start work tomorrow - teaching English in a school for about 2 hours everyday, except the weekend and Mondays! So far it's been great. Me and my new friend/roommate have gone and seen all the main attractions already and taken a few lazy all-day-indoors days. We did a lot of touristy stuff like going to the Underground Cellars, taking pictures with a huge monument in the city centre, and walking around Market Square, exploring the little cafes and seeing the incredible churches. Finally got to try pierogi! It was so good, and also cooked (by which I mean watched roommate cook and cut up some sausages as neatly as one can dare I say) once in the common kitchen we have on every dorm floor. Avoided being run into by quite a few bikers thanks to my smooth as fuck swerving skills. Crossed the road like the savage Indian I am and gave the poor girl a fright. Walked around lots. Talked about how big and beautiful the moon is a little too much. Went to a little cafe and had the worst beer I will ever taste, and another cafe where I had the best - hot beer with lime and cinnamon called grzaniec! Went to an end of a project AIESEC meeting at a bar and sat amongst the most multicultural group ever! - Young people/EPs from Georgia, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Spain, Tunisia, Iran, China, I'm sure I'm missing some people out! It was so much fun too :)

 Some pics to stir your soul.
 

Dress, stockings and boots, stripey socks, and pandas and tigers coexist harmoniously here.

 

Amazing pastry with white and dark chocolate and jam

The great cooking of one awesome roommate


Posing here with some kick-ass saws from the olden carpentry days - in the Underground Cellars. And in front of the Revolution Monument. Then randomly because I was all dressed up and good to go. We went to McDonald's and I couldn't finish the McFlurry so I got it home by which time it was melted goodness and I mixed in some milk, and there you have it - McFlurry Milkshake! Also stopped at the Biedronka close by and bought persimmon! Can't wait to try it! And last but not least some beautifully pink grapefruit.

For people who believe strongly in the illusiveness of life, to doubt would be more correct than to bear full conviction about anything at all. But then again that questions their primary belief in illusions. - Aditi A world without faith in a higher power or a god is a better world where we can be responsible for our own actions; where we can be kind to one another because we want to and because it is the right thing to do instead of being frightened into behaving by the threat of divine punishment. Many events may have defied your ability to explain, events that seem like miracles, but if you are convinced that you failed to understand them because you're still woefully ignorant about the universe and the learning will never stop, then, you cannot and will not believe that a deity altered the workings of nature. Don't ignore reality in order to comfort yourself, for once you do, you make it easy for others to deceive you. Understanding breeds empathy. We do not writ

Punchline is Inside

I bite my tongue the instant the doctor's assistant punches holes into 7 crisp report printouts I bite now, that's my thing If knuckle nails is to wolverine Unbidden masochistic biting is to me, I'm wolver-rani My teeth, it is the one good thing I got from my father The very same set of even molars, aesthetic incisors and sharp canines And how I choose to care for it is to not Barring the nighttime brushing routine There is daily jhanjhanahat they must endure In the form of cold water and hot oatmilk chai But enough about crowns bound to jaws I didn't come out of my writer's block for this What I did want to write about is the philosophical undertone of teeth clenching and what it means about control, or the lack of it About wanting to keep your head (and jaw) above water because life is not consistently kind About being a drama queen, with crowns plural, who seeks sympathy in oatmilk chai because dairy is apparently not my friend, and supposedly never was I wanted

Swedish Pineapple

Tethered and twisted; Tethered and twisted I lay in the sand. Fumbling and tumbling and lost and down on the ground, Groggy and bloody and clumsy. I am unreachable. I am wasted and thrown. Blotched are my scars of the night. I am broken beyond repair, Nobody asked you to come fix me. You couldn't even if you tried is one thing, I'd rather you not is another. Untimely is this occasion. Blasphemous is this situation.   I am where I am You're where you are; And you're where you are Twisted and devious Jumbled and knotted You are All that you are I am All that I am Look now, there your carriage goes Without you Run after it lest you miss it Why should I, you question, When it won't stop for me? I give you that knowing look you know so well And say For if you don't it shall leave you behind You then give me a knowing look I know so well And say I'd rather be behind if it means being with you.
