news of last week

erm… not much was going on last week. it began with a day off on monday, the only sunny day of past 7 days. i can’t remember now if i did something productive on day that. i remember i was sitting on grass in a park reading a magazine for three hours. since tuesday it was only work, work and work. i know i’m complaining too much about work. i must accept the fact i have to work and face what i have realized recently: my finance sucks, so i’ve got to earn some money. it’s not much, yet it is money i’ll definitely need in the next academic year.

friday was supposed to be my another lazy day. well, it was not. i was phoned by people from a catering agency (the one i used to work for before i started employment in café rouge) asking me if i could replace a waiter at the musselburgh race course. to cut a long story short, i said ‘yes’ and it was my mistake. that was a long and tiring shift. at least i could watch all races for free and see horses from a very close distance. unfortunately, i couldn’t make any bets.

ooooof! i am not working today. looks like i’ll always have mondays off. which is so good, cause everybody knows that monday is a student night in pubs and clubs. bargains and price reductions on drinks and entry fee everywhere! yay! besides, many people arrived to edinburgh yesterday. so there is david, conor, paul, liam, phil and other guys. good to see them.

gossip of the week: emilia met pawel ciechowski on the okecie airport in warsaw!!! what a bad luck. at least for her. how come? they were going to the states on the same day around same hours. is there something i don't know? they were standing in neighbouring queues to check-in. the only difference was that one queue was to new york, while the other one to chicago... i know it is a random news and not everyone knows what i mean. i just thought it was so unexpected!

anything else?.... not! oh, well: friday5.

1) if you get the first choice of monopoly tokens, which do you choose? if someone else chooses it first, which is your second choice?
honestly speaking, i have never played monopoly in my life. simply because it was not popular in poland, at least when i was a kid.

2) what’s a board game you are especially bad at?
chess! they should label this game 'thinking required - not suitable for low iq people' (i've never forced my mind to do an iq test, but i guess i wouldn't score much)

3) what board game are you particularly good at?
don't know. everything depends on luck.

4) how competitive do you get while playing board games or party games?
quite competitive

5) what’s your favorite board game? what’s a board game you can’t stand?
eurobusiness, definitely! my favourite country is austria. i can't stand backgammon. don't like it.
