Bring it to Poland

It feels I am  a one step forward and I am going my destined way.

 Two years ago I contemplated studying in Poland yet I chose a different path.  One week before the deadline I had gathered all the documents required and applied to the American University in Bulgaria(AUBG). Undoubtedly, the AUBG summer camp in 2012 left too many good memories which led me through the next, the hardest one, school year so I was eager to come back and revitalize them. It took me a year of intensive daily courses of the English language in AUBG so to become a fully accepted student. Could I but not believe I would ever be able to pass the SAT successfully. In May 2014 one of my "child" dreams was succeeded,  I was accepted to the American University having been a mediocre pupil in school, who had not got any diploma of excellence. Yet my destiny chose me the another path. Because my family couldn't cover the tuition offered I was ought to change my place of studying.

Considering different conditions and opportunities it is Poland where I decided to study. I was not excited at first to be going to Poland yet the very first day changed everything! I can not describe but be grateful for being able to study here and not anywhere else. To clarify: I will be studying at the university in Kielce, Poland and at the moment I am having a 2 months course of Polish. Right, I will be studying in Polish considering the fact that I am a complete zero at it yet I believe everything will be fine as far as I am ready to study hard.














It feels like home here, I have never experienced the feeling of being satisfied and relaxed in the place where I lived. I do not want to go anywhere at all. I do not want to go home or any other country, I am fine here. The feelings I have are confidence, satisfaction and happiness. Lviv ( Ukraine) and Poland are the places where I am happy to be. Just watching out of a window, glimpsing random pedestrians passing by, I understand that I was meant to come here. What is interesting is that this city in Poland resembles me of Blagoevgrad a little bit!

About Polish people and University:
I am literally LITERALLY  in such a huge over-emotional amazement of hospitality that it is really hard to be described. It was not like this in Bulgaria though we did have an orientation week yet what we have here is wordless. It is not even an orientation week here as we do not have a free day to spend in front of our laptops. Every day we are asked and offered to go somewhere.

Some situations that left me numb:

• We were on our way to a Centre when we were asked to wait near a supermarket. Could not we but imagine to be treated with ice-cream for no reason just right there and later with juice and cookies in the centre, in which people did not have any affailiations with whom we were. 
• After telling how we boil rice and sausages in a kettle with the students ( because currently we do not have kitchen) the next day huge! pockets with food were brought to us for no reason just right there. 
• We went to the grill-party in the local restaurant where we ate fried sausages and meat for free. 
• On the first day of our lessons we had a very good breakfast and lunch- for free. 

I also should mention that we have lots of fun with Polish people here, jokes and smiles are always on our faces. I am seriously mesmerized and can not describe my emotions. Though I am sure they have lots of fun with our (or my) pity tries to speak Polish. So hard to do Polish when Bulgarian is screaming out loud in your head! Also it is hard to forget when we sang the Polish song about Sokoly and Ukraine at the party.

I love it here, I feel numb but I am happy to be here. I like the architecture, style and buildings in Kielce. Nothing happens for no reason.

I will try to enhance the topic of living and studying  later.
