Hi everyone, Busy and tiering are 2 words I would use to describe September. I think this relates to a lot of people who read my blog, especially during current times when even the smallest jobs cause a lot of stress. Coming back home, new environments and new learning ways have all been a part of my September and have caused many hiccups on the way, but still remaining positive for October, as my favourite holiday is coming up 😉 For the first half of September, I was still in Poland, visiting family, but spending this time to say goodbye and make some final memories, as I don’t know when I will see them again. As mentioned before I refurbished my nans kitchen (which you can see on my Instagram blog) and took some time to see the town and catch up with old friends. At the end of my time, I had an anxiety build-up of course over my flight back home, it was not the prefect flight but it was safe enough to get me home and calm my anxiety. A few bumps, but that’s normal I guess! As I got back home, the covid situation in my areas has become worse and worse over time, with the UK coming up to about 4,000 infections a day. This means, more lockdown restrictions and more not being able to do things and see people etc. It just makes me wonder if we are going to just keep doing the same over again, you know? Restrictions, cases go down, lifting restrictions, cases go up kind of thing? I hope not because I have a graduation to attend next year! and obviously this is ruining other life plans and moments for me and others that it would be helpful if people could just listen to the rules, please? They are not that hard! But before the restrictions, I was able to get myself to Ikea, with the help of 2 cars and my boyfriend and his dad, my personal movers 😛 I needed new bedroom furniture and fast! since we have moved to my new house in March I have been living out of boxes and on a single mattress which is not ideal for Dawid when he stays with me or for a girl like me with a lot of clothes. So I finally got to have my dream bedroom and have it just the way I like it, and I absolutely love it, I could be here all the time, which is likely as my semester is all online. I love how clean and crisp it looks, a place to relax and calm down after a busy day of zoom meetings and dog walks. Here is an image for reference, but again you can see more of it on my Instagram blog. And finally, on the last part of my stressful September, I started my final year at university. It has been a lot, like hit me with a ton of bricks a lot, they don’t prepare you enough for how hard year 3 will be in the first 2 years but I guess that might seem this way because everything is through zoom this semester for me. I get up at 9am, do work and go to bed at 11pm, this has been my state for the current 2 weeks and I still feel like I am behind! And do not even talk to me about dissertations, such a muddle in my head! I guess it’s just a concept of time and getting used to but there is a lot of hard work and it is definitely going to be different this year, so if I do disappear at some point, just know I am drowning in books and references. I am having to buy monitors to read all my books because they are all online, and my 14 inch screen is not enough for 4 books and Word to be open on it all at the same time. I have found more confidence to speak in my lessons compared to in real life, maybe the screen acts like protection? I’m not sure but there are definitely drawbacks and some positives, I just have to wait and see them emerge time by time. I hope you have enjoyed this September sum up, let me know how your September has been, maybe it was better than mine, or just as odd and stressful as mine, but always remember, in this moment we are okay and we can push past anything, zoom is the last of our worries right now. Love, Kasia x
