Holiday plans

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:39:54 GMT

ho ho ho!! Merry... aight, its not the time yet! :P

Ive decided to type a few lines here to tell you about my holiday plans... There are quite a few of them, so let's get down to it:

Now Im finishing my exams... 2 more to sit (out of 10!), and Ill be freeeeee on Monday. (Horray!)

And also Im doing a working practice in a language school CONVERSA now (www.conversa.pl) - Im translating documents, talking to customers, answering phone calls, etc... so a combination of a translator and a secretary I am. Its for free, I wont get any salary for that, but at least Ill get an additional point for my CV, which is very needed, no doubts about that. Ill finish it on July 25, and on the next day...

I'm flying to England!!!

Hahaha, yes, I did it! I booked a flight for July 26!! And Im proud of myself!! I finally took the decision and put my idea into practice! I found a relatively cheap flight, so Im twice as happy as I should be. Im flying from Poznan to London Stansted, and my boyfriend is going to collect me from the airport. And then we'll go to Hoddesdon together. He is staying there right now, and that's exactly the town in which we're going to spend a lovely time together. Im going back on August 13, so its almost 3 weeks for me in England. During that time Im planning to visit a few places, and of course meet my mates from London. Im extremely happy about it all.

So then after Im back in Poland, Ill begin a certificate course in German, which will last a month and finish with an important exam, which Im hoping to pass (with quite satisfying results, to top it all!) - so this will last till around September 20. And in the very September, from the beginning of the month, Im starting my teacher's practice in a high school in Torun (its V LO for those who might know it)... Im a bit afraid of that, but with a lot of motivation that I have, Im sure I can handle it!

And then October will come... the 4th year of my studies... Whoah, its already the 4th one!! Amazing how the time is quick at passing by...

Im sending you all a powerful hug and wish you the most delightful summer ever! May it be warm and sunny all 3 moths long!

Just a few lines

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:20:27 GMT

Hey, hey, hey... Last time I was here was in February... And I was busy with everything, ya ya ya... Guess what? Not much has changed! :P

Ive still been in the 3rd year of English Philology studies, still giving extra lessons in English to kids/adults, still working for AIESEC, still going out with my newly acquired (:P) boyfriend, still attending a language school and learning German... and doing plenty other more or less useless/useful (cross out the unnecessary word) things...

In general, life has been pretty good to me these days. Im happy, I think. Oh, and the spring finally came a few weeks ago! This is a piece of optimistic news too. I dont want to think about my exams at the end of this academic year, because there are way too many of them... And I dont know what Im going to do suring the summer holiday, which is one big sh*t issue! Why? Cause I cannot go abroad this year... Why? Cause I need to do my teaching practice in September, and I need to save money... What for? Cause... (the tension increases) I want to MOVE OUT of my parents' house! Yes! Yes, I do! I dont think I can stay here any longer... I mean, its not so bad or anything, but our thinking seems to be completely different on so many issues now... that it becomes really tiring to talk (read: argue) with each other so often. Dont get me wrong - I do not quarrel or fight with my paents every single day or week, but it surely happens more often than it did before. I think I need some freedom, and they cannot fully understand it thinking I will not cope with everything properly. They are pretty conservative, and my way of thinking is too 'fast and forward' for them to stand at various occasions (if you can guess what I mean). So, what I want to do is save some cash and rent a flat with my friends. I already know MY flats accomodation; it is in the very city centre, which means : it is close to my department and... to all the club and pubs! ;) And it is not so expensive, which is an importnat advantage, of course. Ive decided to take a so called student loan, so that it is easier for me to live by myself. I know I cannot ask my parents for financial support, for theyre unable to provide me with such (for the same reason I study in my hometown, just to let you know). Thanks to that loan Ill be able to start living on my own , and adding to that my humble income from private classes - I will surely manage studying daily and paying all the bills in time. ;) Keep your fingers crossed for my idea, please!

The only thing I fear is the talk with my parents. Im more than sure they will not be satisfied with my decision. 'What for do you want to move out if you can easily stay here and save your money for your own future flat?' - this will be their main argument. But the point is I want to stand up for myself, live independently at last! Im 22 this year, I think its high time to start my own life... isnt it?

The more I think about it, the more confused I get...

Busy

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 22:35:44 GMT

Yes, definitely busy recently... Studies (exams starting on Monday, eek!), AIESEC work, classes with kids, attending a language school... - it consumes pretty much time, believe me. Plus, Ive been trying to have som eprivate life for the last couple of weeks... which is now not as colourful as it may have seemed for a while. But! Whatever! I do not care; I just dont want to have any backlog with my studies and project (in AIESEC - Im working on the project called Global School - I dont know... maybe Ive already mentioned that? Ill tell you in details about it next time) now. I definitely have to clear things up with one person (cause supposedly [!] I am not single anymore, hell yeah...), but somehow Im lacking time for that. Shite. :( So, we cant meet as often as we'd like to. And therefore, there have been some misunderstandings lately, of which I hope to get rid asap anyway... Ah, we'll see.

So, my lovely people... I should prepare that New Years Resolutions list or something like that - it can actually come in handy... Ill think about it.
For now - off I go to bed,
nite nite xxx

ya, i am alive still...

Tue, 23 Oct 2007 20:29:13 GMT

yes, i am very well actually. london is beautiful, brighton is great, but its all over for me now. that is a pity indeed, but! i cant complain too much, cause what ive got here is pretty cool too! i just got to know today i was recruited to become an AIESECer [an internatonal student organisation], so it means there are plenty of opportunities now in front of me! and also this means a party on saturday evening in a new and friendly [i hope!] company. theres gonna be a conference outside my town, which will take 3 days [this fri-sun]. so im gonna learn all the organisation history and rules and the projects well be working on this year. plus, were gonna have that 'horror party' - and i gotta dress up!! geez, no idea what im gonna take with me yet... but ill think of something, hehe. this will be our kind of a halloween party, i guess, hence that theme.

anyways, lifes beautiful and treating me very nice atm. its pretty hectic, true, ive got LOTS of uni work and additional classes with kids. have never had so many of them, therefore ive got very little free time during the week. and weekends? well, classes too, actually, some chilling out from time to time and now aiesec meetings and stuff additionally... oh yes, and sometimes i find some time for studying, teehee!

so, ,to sum it up briefly... i am well, in case you worried [oh come on, at least someone...? :T hehehe]

and when thinking about the holiday....awwww... *daydreaming*... it was really WONDERFUL, full of events, adventures and anything you could think of. :)
I attended lots of parties, met great new people, met my old friends from London, was to Prince's gig, to a few minor gigs by local bands, to Notting Hill Carnival, saw SPAMALT at the Palace Theatre [its soooooooooo good, go watch it if you have a chance!!!!!], was in the cinema and saw TRANSFORMERS [looooolz, only because i had to... yes, i HAD TO, my <ex>boyfriend wanted desperately to go, hehe] and many others....

ahhhhh...ive got thousands of pics too, but it would take me ages if i wanted to post them here... so thats why im asking you, my dearest msn spaces friends - have you got a FACEBOOK ACCOUNT? [ http://facebook.com ] if you do, please message me so that we could find each other's accounts there. :)

cause ive got quite a lot of my piccies posted there...so if you wanted, you could have a glimpse at them there. :)

Another Tickle Test

Sun, 06 May 2007 17:16:04 GMT

You scored 133 on Tickle's IQ test.

This means that based on your answers, your IQ score is between 123 and 133. Most people's IQs are between 70 and 130. In fact, 95% of all people have IQs within that range. 68% of people score between 80 and 120.

Your Intellectual Type is Facts Curator. This means you are highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive and unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You've got a remarkable vocabulary and exceptional math skills — which puts you in the same class as brainiacs like Bill Gates. Whether or not you intend to absorb every piece of information that comes your way, your mind has certain steel-trap qualities to it. You are a knowledge sponge. You have almost enough words in your head to fill a dictionary, and you're equally adept when it comes to manipulating numbers. You can also detect important patterns in number sequences, and probably remember the mnemonic devices you were taught in grade school.

Your 4 Intelligence Scales:

Based on the results of your test, Tickle divided your scores into four distinguishable dimensions — mathematical intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, linguistic intelligence and logic intelligence.

Here's how each of your intelligence scores break down:

Mathematical Intelligence

Your Mathematical Percentile

Your mathematical intelligence score represents your combined ability to reason and calculate. You scored relatively high, which means you're probably the one your friends look to when splitting the lunch bill or calculating your waitresses' tip. You may or may not be known as a math whiz, but number crunching might come a little easier to you than it does others.

This is the kind of question that helped to determine your mathematical intelligence score:

A boy is 4 years old and his sister is three times as old as he is. When the boy is 12 years old, how old will his sister be? 16, 20, 24, 28, 32.

answer: 20.
The sister is (3 )three times older than her (4) four-year-old brother. Three times 4 is 12, in other words, when he is four, she is 12. Twelve years old is 8 years older than 4 years old, which makes her 8 years older than him. This never changes. Therefore, when he is 12, she is still 8 years older, or 12+8=20.

[And I got it right.]

Visual-Spatial Intelligence

Your Visual-Spatial Percentile

The visual-spatial component of intelligence measures your ability to extract a visual pattern and from that envision what should come next in a sequence. Your score was relatively high, which could mean that you're the one navigating the map when you're on an outing with friends. You have, in some capacity, an ability to think in pictures. Maybe this strength comes out in subtle ways, like how you play chess or form metaphors.

Here's the type of question that contributed to your visual-spatial intelligence score:

	is to	as	is to

Answer:

The answer lies in recognizing not only the visual sequence of a square and then a line, but in the recognizing the solidity of the line in the first example and the broken quality of the line in the second example.

[I was suspicious of the answer, for it was too obvious.]

Linguistic Intelligence

Your Linguistic Percentile

Linguistic abilities include reading, writing and communicating with words. Tickle's test measures knowledge of vocabulary, ease in completing word analogies and the ability to think critically about a statement based on its semantic structure. Your score was relatively high, which could mean you know your way around a bookstore and maybe like to bandy about the occasional 25-cent word to impress friends.

Here's the type of question that contributed to your linguistic intelligence scale score:

Inept is the opposite of:

Answer: Skillful.

The answer is derived by prior knowledge that "inept" means "unskillful" (Oxford Concise Dictionary).

[You just know the word, you know the answer...another suspicious question.]

Logical Intelligence

Your Logical Percentile

Tickle's logical intelligence questions assess your ability to think things through. The questions determine the extent to which you use reasoning and logic to determine the best solution to a problem. Your logic score was relatively high, which could mean that when the car breaks down, your friends look to you to help figure out not only what's wrong, but how to fix it and how you're going to get to the next gas station.

Here's the kind of question that contributed to your logical intelligence score:

If some Wicks are Slicks and some Slicks are Snicks, then some Wicks are definitely Snicks. True or false?

Answer: False
The statement is false because while some Wicks might be Slicks, there is no conclusive proof that any of them might be Snicks.

[And I did it WRONG!! :P]

I summed up the results, and I know that I got 6 wrong out of 40. Hm, not bad, but could be better. The test was not difficult, it was funny. If you want to try, I strongly recommend it, the results will brighten your day. ;)

Ticle Classic IQ Test

Wee, it's me !

Fri, 04 May 2007 22:16:10 GMT

Yes, yes, yes, I know it's ages, since I last updated the blog... And lots have happened and has been happening... So I'm quite puzzled as what to begin with... OK, where's the beginning? For I wrote something here last time in March, then...err...ok, let's say I can start with the news about me and the ERASMUS scholarship. Well, I applied for the scholarship just because. It was a very random and spontaneous decision, teehee. One day a friend of mine came to me and asked ' Hey Magda, wouldn't you like to go and study abroad for a year? You know, the Erasmus thingy...' , to which I replied ' Yeah, sounds cool, but I guess I'm too dumb to get accepted.' Hm, and that's what I got in response ' Oh come on, let's not exaggerate, silly... They don't take idiots, but they will take you. And me.' hahaha, and here she got me...did it mean they don't take idiots BUT could make an exception for us. :P OR they don't take idiots, and for we are not idiots, so we'll be accpeted. ??!! :P hahahah, that was funny. But! Coming back to the point. She added the deadline for the giving in the application forms was on the next day, so I said I'd have to think it over before I decide. And so I did - looked through the offers, and thought it would be a really funky adventure if I managed to get to a university in Spain. yay! Ok, and so I did give in my application. I knew it was risky and there was actually little chance for 2 reasons : the first one me having not the best notes [err...;p] and the second one being that the students finishing now the 3rd year of studies were to be given places at the universities first. But well, I took a chance...and made it. Yes...but no joy yet, as I wasn't accpeted to the university i wanted, namely they let me go to any other univerisity I chose but for the one in Spain. YES, indeed, damn. Because it turned out too many people applied for that one. Hm, but ok, I can live with that. So I chose another one - in France this time. I was shocked the results were announced so quickly ,and that I got in. :O Whoah, I'm not such an imbecile if they want me to go for such an exchange, yay! ;] Anyway, so I told them authorities I chose France... And they agreed. Ta dam! ...but that's not the end of the story. ;p After a few days I resigned. I'm not going anywhere... Hm, why? Because I don't speak French... yeah, sure, it is not necessary for me to know the language if I were going to study English Philology there, but still... the thing is the scholarship is not hgh enough to cover all the student's needs, so you have to have quite a lot of money on your own. Or you could find yourself a part-time job there. So here you have the explanation - it, in turn, would be impossible for me due to my lack of knowledge of the French language. So I think I will say thank you [which I have actually already done ;] and have a try next year. Then I will go for sure...even if I'm not accepted to the university I choose. :)

The second news is I'm going to England at the end of June, hooray! But this, methinks [uh, how Shakespeare'ian :P], most of you already know for some time.... But just for your general knowledge - I'm departing from Warsaw on June 30, at 5.25p.m. :D And believe it or not, but this will be the first flight ever in my short life.... Uh, I'm a bit nervous about it. I mean, I'm not nervous about the flight in general, but rather about my luggage... Yeah, I know I'm weird. :P But I really get strange ideas about what can happen to my luggage while I'll be not looking... too much expanded my imagination is, I guess. Nothing bad can happen, right??? So, I'm flying to London on Saturday to get there the very same evening. :D And that's how it will begin... I've got quite a few plans and ideas for the holiday... Hopefully, all of them will be realised... I can't freaking wait!!! I'm really excited at the mere thought of going there agian! and of seeing those faces again! and meeting a few new people I've promised to visit and meet! ;)) haha, and so I could enumarate the resons to go back to London. But this time my visit will not only be limited to London. :) And let the rest be silence....or something like that. ;p

Ok, and for I gotta go now, so I will not tell you anything else right now. But....uh, ok, next time. Cheers for the comments! See you in the next episode. ;)

break

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 20:10:51 GMT

Here I am, back to work again. I mean - back to studies, my looooong break is far away in the past, all my courses make me devote most of my time to learning/reading/writing again. I havent written anything new here for a while because of two rasons; the first of them being that I was ill for a week or so, and the second one is that I think I need a break from blogging and keeping you up to date ;) I dont fancy it nowadays so more as I did in the beginning, so I guess the new blog entries will appear seldomer now. I was even wondering whether to delete the space at all...But I guess not yet, so no need to worry...

Yup, I was ill, and well, still have been - the rests of my nasty cold has still been accompanying me -_-

But I feel much better than before...all that coughing, sneezing and the temperature...uh, I felt so weak. Awful, I hate being sick because of tht constant feeling of overpowering weakness.

And again, Im having sh*tloads of work to do...a few in-class presentations, obligatory novels/articles to read, essays to write on some literary topics, tests to pass and so on and so forth. But then again - this is actually nothing new or surprising, everybody knows that studying my faculty means being in constant rush with all that job. And even if I complain here from time to time, I do like it. ;) I like always to be busy with something, I can't stand boredom or too much free time. Those 3 weeks were a good break for me to recharge my batteries, but now - back to work again, yay ! ;)

The funny thing is, I still come across friends whom I havent seen for a longer while, and they keep on not recognizing me,lolz! They just pass me in silence, have to turn around and give them a shout, thats amusing. Come on, I only cut my hair...

On 17 March I will probably go to a concert in 'Areszt' (thats the name of the club here in Torun, the literal translation of the name is 'Jail' :P). My friend's band is giving a rock show, it might be a funky night, so I think I will give it a go. The band is called 'CT' and they play nice, Polish rock. If you want to listen to one of their songs, check this link out: http://www.myspace.com/ctrockband . I hope you'll like it, let me know if you have a try. :) And remember, their tunes are in Polish. ;)

What else would I like to mention...Oh, I know! I started to learn Spanish! This time I seriously got down to it, so I hope I'll soon be able to show off here a bit,lol! Im just learning on my own, relying on the materials borrowed from my friend, so we'll see how it goes. But well, Im very optimistic about it. I have always loved the sound of Spanish, it's so...melodious! Just beautiful, I do want to speak fluently in this language. I am actually able to build quite a few phrases/sentences/words, but well, this is not enough to communicate at least quite fluently. So, wish me luck. :)

Oh, and a piece of news for those of you, who are my not British but American friends, this time! My US history course began this semestre, and I had already one class, during which we argued wether Christopher Columbus was a barbarian who caused the massacre of native Americans greater than the Holocaust itself,or was he just an innocent explorer. ;) It was a pretty involving verbal fight, indeed. The lecturer is a really nice guy, so I think the course is going to be very interesting.

And additionally I began one more course, this one strictly connected with my future as a teacher of the English language. These are facultative classes, which means I dont have to attend them. But as Im not sure whether I want to become teacher or not, I considered it not a bad idea. Plus, its the last year when the course is free, so no wonder I hadnt thought long before I took it up, right?

And thats mainly it...

Till the next entry.

Take care you all. :)

What happened in the year I was born?

Sun, 18 Feb 2007 17:39:37 GMT

In 1986 (the year you were born)

Ronald Reagan is president of the US

The US officially observes Martin Luther King Day as a national holiday for the first time

The space shuttle Challenger explodes moments after lift off, killing 6 astronauts and a teacher

A major nuclear disaster occurs at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union

Japanese video game maker Nintendo introduces its games to America

US warplanes bomb Libyan headquarters in retaliation for terrorist attacks

The Soviet Union launches the Mir space station

IBM unveils the PC Convertible, the first laptop computer

Charlotte Church, The Olsen twins, and Lindsay Lohan are born

New York Mets win the World Series

What Happened in the Year You Were Born?

Yup, the catastrophe in Chernobyl happened when my mum was pregnant... do you know she was officially ALLOWED to have an abortion if she willed ?! They were afraid that the babies could have been born both mentally and physically handicapped... This means my mum could have got rid of her unborn baby [ME !!] totally legally. -_-

But she decided to take a risk and not to do it. She claims she wouldnt be able to live with the awareness of what she would have done. And I'm SO-O-O grateful to her she did NOT do it... OMG, I can't even imagine this... I wouldn't be here now typing this all for you... Spooky.

So... THANK YOU, MUMMY, FOR GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO LIVE, LUV YA LOTS!!!!!!!

And now something absolutely off topic... ;)

The new Magda has been born, woohoo, changed my hairstyle [decided to cut my hair short at last!] and bought the new funky glasses, love them :P

And in the act of self-admiration I took a few pics on my mobile... [this explains the poor quality of the photo below]

How do I look now ? I guess it's not too bad, though of course could be better, LOOOOOOLZ :P

Love you all,
the new Mads ;)

I cannot help it. I adore Garfield!

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 17:34:17 GMT

:)

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 12:39:52 GMT

Hey peole, how is life? Finally, I have decided to add a new entry. Even though I don't actually feel like typing a lot. So I will just give you a brief summary of what I have been doing recently. ;)

Ok, so I am currently sleeping till the very late morning, reading books [actually one book only, such a lil lie ;], listening to music almost 24h/day, giving lots of extra classes to my new students, attending my private course in German, meeting with those long unseen friends of mine, hanging on Skype chatting to one particular friend [Pat:P], spending evening hours on msn chatting to people, partying on weekends, buying clothes [yup, definitely you can call it 'a weakness'!], eating out more often than I usually allow myself to, playing with my new mobile and getting to know its funky possibilities (I'm a big kiddo and I will always be if it comes to electronical devices;), telling myself I should revise some material for my classes next semestre [yeah, just telling myself...I cannot focus on avctually doing the thing, huh], drinking lots of tea [my new hobby,lolz], trying to become strong enough to cut down on sweets [hahahahahahahahaha, yeah - go on, laugh with me :D], downloading loads of new music [shhh, no comments, please], and what else... I am just being lazy as much as I can, frankly speaking... Oh, and I am going to sleep much too late. Boo. But I cannot help it, I have already got used to going to bed late at night, and now even if I try to lie my head down onto the cushion before midnight, I simply cannot fall asleep. o_O And then my mum likes to go crazy on about 'Child, you do not get enough sleep.', huh... Or she likes to call me 'a lazy arse wasting her time' hmm...no idea why, LOL. Anyway, as you can see I'm simply enjoying the break I am given, teehee. ;) At least now I can do anything I feel like.

But what a shame! Only 7 days left of this sweet laziness! Gotta make full use of it. ;)

Every student's dream time...exams!

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 19:11:30 GMT

Exams...yeah, the time of doom has come, hehe. I'm having only 3 exams [formally] in this exam session, but additionally I'm having various tests I gotta pass to be given a credit for the next semestre at the uni. So all in all, it ain't so easy, huh. But well, every student has to struggle with exams, so I can't complain too much. One could argument it's a part of the univeristy charm, heehee.

On Monday I'll have to cope with British Cultural Studies - we covered the issues of British/American television this semestre mainly, like tv & radio drama, English/American theatre, the BBC, Shakespeare on screen, etc. Maybe they are not the most complicated topics, but there are quite a lot of factual data to be remembered actually. And I'm not the biggest fan of cramming useless info into my head, prefer more logical stuff...(ok ok, maybe I shouldn't use the word 'useless' here...but well - I already did, so... x) Which means it will be a pretty tough task for me...but I've got 4 days left. I can do it, can't I ? ;)

Later on Thursday I'm going to have an individual meeting with my Conversation class lecturer... kind of an oral exam... Most probably I'll have to deliver a 5-minute speech on some topic using some pseudo-sophisticated vocabulary I possess, lolz.

Next Monday, Jan 22 I mean, there is that coooooool [] exam in Linguistics... It's my last semestre of Linguistics, horray!!! It is becoming more and more difficult for me to stand my lecturer, so the sooner I pass the final exam, the better [both for me and for him,lolz]. He has become so mean and nasty; it's really weird... And everybody thought he was so cool last year, LOL. Obviously, he must have had some unfortunate adventures during the summer break and the trauma's still been influencing his behaviour, hahaha! [Yeah, I know I'm a meanie as well :]

But aaaaanyway, the last of all the superb exams I'm having on Thursday, January 25... which is DESCRPTIVE GRAMMAR, yaaaay! All those adjuncts, conjuncts, subjuncts, disjuncts, coordinations, correlatives, ellipsis, subjects, verbs, adverbials, complements, objects, concords, predicates, predications, complementations,recoverability, etc etc... LOOOOLZ :P And that's just the extract of it, of course...yummy, isn't it? :P You know Quirk's book on descriptive grammar maybe? That's our course book, our treasure, bahaha.... After each class ''with'' Quirk I feel so worn out as if I were after the most exhausting training at the gym, serious. But generally speaking, that's the most 'logical' subject this year, so I quite enjoy it even though it's often so freaking confusing. ;)

And that is to be my last exam during this winter session, true true... Oh, I forgot about the individual meetings concerning Phonetics... yeah, but that shouldn't be anything very stressful. And when is it to take place....ermmm... ah, on Monday, an hour before the exam in Cultural Studies, huh. Our lecturer in Phonetics this year turned to be an Australian freak...geeeez, this means that too often we have to listen about his Australian adventures and his beautiful Aussie accent instead of the British one he is supposed to teach us ...

In conclusion, this is my plan for the forthcoming 2 weeks... I'm going to be quite busy, indeed. That's why I'm not available on Messenger so often as before, which should be rather understandable, isn't it.

So wish me luck, people,

I'll catch you after the drama is over!!

My Career Interest Report

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 20:58:30 GMT

Magdalena, your top career is

Math and Science

Based on your responses to our Career Interest Inventory, we have an understanding of what types of career areas are right for you and why.

Professions in the fields of math and science involve using analytical thought. That is, most jobs in these areas require thinking deeply and applying skills to solve a particular problem. For example, an economist using their math skills can track how interest rates influence home buying trends. A scientist, such as a physicist, may help us understand how different types of energies can be used to create new appliances. Information gathered by people in these types of professions is incredibly useful but most people fail to appreciate the complexity and creativity involved in the solutions. Despite popular belief, most people in math and science are imaginative types who enjoy creating a new world of information and possibilities. To people in this career area, nothing is more exciting than to think about "what if."

A job is not just a job. It serves other needs that are important not to ignore. Don't forget to consider different aspects of your personality when thinking about your specific job interests. Below we've given you some ideas to keep in mind. Following this, the jobs that we've listed for you were personally picked for you with these needs in mind.

Although everyone would enjoy having some money, you want more than that. Whether you actually live in a lap of luxury isn't the point either. Rather, your desire to have certain comforts in life partly relates to your job interests. In addition to making money, jobs carry other benefits too. For example, you may not make as much money being an artist, but it carries a certain amount of prestige compared to other higher paying jobs. You want to have a job associated with having favorable qualities so that you make a good impression with others. A bit of recognition does not hurt either in your book. It's far better to work hard and receive some accolades then it is to work just as hard and not have others admire you for it. Given that this is the case, think about aiming for jobs that are seen as admirable by society at large. In your area, think about jobs that connote high creativity, nobility, or intelligence. Being around people is one of the perks of the job. You are social by nature and while some people see socializing as a waste of time, working with others increases your enthusiasm for what you do. The thought of sitting in front of your computer all day without interacting with people would be joyless to you. Maybe it's that you like bouncing ideas off of other people or you just like taking breaks with people. Whatever the case, make sure you look for jobs that allow you to work with others in some way. It would not only make you happy but also productive.

EXAMPLE OCCUPATIONS FROM YOUR TOP 4 CAREER AREAS

On this test, we presented you with a number of questions asking you to pick one out of three job descriptions you would prefer. We also asked questions assessing some of your personality needs.

I will not post the further detailed results because the rest of them are at the middle/below middle level... so no use.
I will just enumerate them:

5. Merchandising

7. Fine Arts

8. Outdoors

9. Engineering

10. Law & Enforcement

11. Investigation & Testing

12. Medicine & Health (never wanted to be a doctor/nurse, hehe ;)

Huh, I do like the results... have given me quite a few fresh ideas for my future occupation, lolz. Yet, I was a bit surprised to see my branch should be MATHS AND SCIENCE , really. I know I always enjoyed maths when at school, even passed my extended A-level in Maths [even quite satisfactory, huh] , but have never thought seriously about staying in this field any longer. Hmm...maybe I'll have to rethink my stides choice, haha. Nah... never! :P I like what I'm doing now...but this doesn't actually exclude my potential interest in mathematical/scientific domain.... *-) We'll see, we'll see... ;)

Yay, how was your Xmas ??

Mine went very nice...it was a peaceful time, thanks God! :] Spent it with my family mostly...and well, mostly at home, since I couldnt walk, yeahhh...know why? Coz my gym trainer decided to damage me a day before the Christmas Eve, hahaha, which seems funny now, but wasnt at all then :| He said to me something like 'Magda, you want a light, holiday training today? OK, np, you'll get one, dear. I want you not to forget bout me during the holiday.' It sounded so innocent ,heehee, but turned to be harmful to my body,lolz. The next day I woke up and couldn't move, walk. Simply I couldnt. Ask me what he did to me, and I wont answer coz I have no foggiest idea, buehehe. Actually, I know, at least I predict it must have been the new exercise we hadnt practised before... But whoah, who could suppose it would have such an effect?! :O Maybe he could, but well - not me! So it was kind of painful Christmas for me. I spent the Christmas Eve at home [as planned before] and the 1st day of Xmas too [bt this was not planned so,huh].. Luckily, I recovered a bit till the 2nd day of Christmas ,so could get out to get some fresh air! I was sick of staring at the same four walls all the time, cursing my trainer and limping around the flat,yay. Gosh, never again, God forbid! ;) But just imagine his [the trainer's,not God's, lolz] surprised face when I got back to the fitness studio yesterday to tell him off,hahaha XD Indeed, he was a bit surprised claiming he thought I would just 'feel the muscles a bit' , yeaaa, sureee! I do believe him ;)

But well, all in all, it was a nice time - everybody came down to me instead of me visiting them all, ha! I got nice gifts and could check if the smiles on their faces weren't artificial after having seen my presents for them :P Ehh...

I love Xmas, I do, but this year I didn't realy notice the magic atmosphere that is usually created when the holiday comes...:S I just missed it. It happened so quickly and is already gone. Now need to wait a whole year till the next one, boo! But it's becuase I had no time to prepare for it properly... The uni gave us too much stuff to work on and we had classes till the very end of the Xmas week [including Friday, I mean], so what was actually left to prepare myself spiritually properly for Christmas?! 1 day is definitely too little [too few??? :P] for me. But whatever now. Next year. yeah.

It was nice ,anyway - Im not stating it was a wasted time, no no no! Just wish I could have done something more to experience it fully as I would like to :) If only I had had time.

And now Im having a break from the university,yay! But still, scarcely any free time for my friends... Weird. One could ask what Im doing all this time so that I complain this much... But well, I wouldnt be actually able to give a rational response,huh. I just have lots of uni work, add fitness to that and this is enough. OK, I am visiting friends too, sure, but not so many of them as I would like to,heehee ;) Am a bit behind if it comes to social meetings, hehe ;) But...

The New Year's party is in a few days !! Yay! What plans do you have, people?!

Hope you will have LOADS of fun :)

Have a truly happy New Year !!! :)

Uh, dziś po poslku, bo nie ma czasu na ozdobniki po angolsku ;)

Poza tym dawno nie pisałam nic po polsku, więc trzeba trochę tu coś urozmaicić, lolz ;)

Zresztą i tak niewiele z Was to entry zrozumie, może to i dobrze :P

Ehh...Na szczęście dziś się czuję lepiej niż wczoraj... Zatrułam się czymś i przez ostatnie półtorej doby myślalam,że umrę... Serio, serio. Podejrzenie pada na tort od sąsiadki [o, ironio losu!] tudzież wirusową grypę. Ale na szczęście dziś już było lepiej - mogłam wyjśc z domu bez większych obaw nie dobiegnięcia do toalety w celu...yy...no sami wiecie. Nigdy więcej takich przeżyć! Za jakie grzechy ta kara ;)?! Najgorszemu wrogowi nie życzę...

Poza tym to powinnam się właśnie uczyć słówek na jutrzejszy [czyt, dzisiejszy] test z konwersacji [taa, wiem jak to brzmi - 'test pisemny z konwersacji' :P], ale jakoś nei mam weny do nauki... Zaraz się za to zabiorę...

Ogółem nic specjalnie ciekawego się nie dzieje ostatnio - wykładowcy się obudzili, w końcu święta nadchdzą ;] Zatem zaczęli nas zalewać wszelkimi kolokwiami, zaliczeniami, prezentacjami itp... Dammit. I pierwesz terminy examów już ustalone, meh. W ogóle termin ostatecznych zaliczeń tego semestru jest niezwykle krótki w tym roku :O Bodajże do 20 lutego 2007 mamy mieć all clear...Dammit po raz drugi. A ja wciąż mam lenia do nauki... Tam ta ram, niefajnie, I know. Dammit po raz trzeci. I chyba starczy póki co.

Koncert Akurata przeniesiony na 20 stycznia dopiero :'( !! A bu. How come, że tak późno, hę?! Bleh... Ale w środę premiera przestawienia [tylko że ja wciąż nie pamiętam tytułu..ekhemm... *-)] naszego rocznika w Domu Muz :D Horay! I nie statystuję, jak było w planie niby. Bu. Z tak prozaicznego powodu, jakim jest mój niemiecki... ten kochany, dodatkowy ;) W końcu za to płacę, więc nie będę opuszczać tych zajęć...A szkoda w sumie, fajnie by było za kulisami siedzieć i od czasu do czasu tylko wyjść na scenę...i w związku z tym mieć dłuższy deadline oddania analizy literackiej , haha ;) No, ale nic to - w środę premiera, trzeba będzie się wybrać ,żeby poklaskać naszym anglistom x) Zapowiada się ciekawie, wnioskując po obsadzie ;) Tylko ciekawa też jest długość...2 godziny, wow. No zobaczymy.

Ah, dla tych zorientowanych w sprawie - Romuś do mnie dziś dzwonił :D Yay, kochane stworzenie o mnie jeszcze pamięta :D I ma być w Polsce po Nowym Roku ;> yay, nawet podobno zahaczy o Toruń, hihi... Podobno z JJ'usem będą razem święta spędzać...ehh...tęsknię za Wami, głąby kochane...chciałoby się cofnąć czas :) albo przyspieszyć o te kilka miesięcy, które zostały do naszego ponownego spotkania :)

Ehh...Czekam na wizytę, Romani ;)

No i to by było na tyle. Wracam do pochłaniającego zajęcia wkuwania słówek. Baj.

My body's in pain vs. immigration in the UK

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 23:00:18 GMT

Somebody simply urged me to write a new blog... Right, Chris ?

The truth is I have not had much time to take care of my blog recently... I've been quite busy with the university stuff. Have to write plenty of essays, prepare presentations (thanks a lot, Andrew ;) , make some recordings, write tests and all those things, you know.

And how is life? Hmm..all's fine with me, my mind is occupied by university and... the gym :D The newest, coolest fitness centre in Toruń, I subscribed to it 2 weeks ago, I believe. And YES, it does work... which manifests itself in my aching muscles :S Damn, I feel today as if my instructor on purpose wanted me to suffer, lol x) I spent 2,5h in the gym yesterday... That's quite long, isn't it? And Michał [that's my trainer's name :] actually told me ''You will swear at me tomorrow, I can see that!''...haha, and he wasn't mistaken ;)! Not at all... I can feel every single muscle in my body, it's such a pain I can barely move! But well, let's not deceive each other, this only proves how 'great' my body form is ,heehee. I knew it was high time to get down to excercising; volleyball trainings are not enough, huh ;) So now I'm a leading healthy style girl, attending wellness centres and playing sports, lol, how cool, am I not ;)? Just joking but it's really nice to feel your muscles working, and even this pain is not so unbearable. I mean, it is horrible, I'm moving as if I was seriously ill or something [lol :P], but I like the feeling I'm doing something for myself, have you got any idea of what I'm trying to convey ?! And this pain means I'm doing the right thing. I'm deriving great satisfaction from this physical effort, and I'll take it as a success if after the next few trainings I will not feel that much pain :)

On Thusday I'm having a presentation on the chosen topic. I've decided on the topic 'Immigration' and I entitled my presentation "Immigration becoming a problem in the UK - true or false?" Hmm... I have to admit I've become pretty interested in the topic, as I've talked to quite a few friends of mine from England [even engaged some of you, my blog friends ;)] and got contradictive answers. Some of you claim immigration is a positive occurence, the others are totally agianst it. And as I got to know there's been lots of discussions on this topic in the British press recently,too. I listened to a few interviews, read lots of articles and my conclusion is : Your government itself doesn't really know what to do and think about it :O.

“We just do not know how big the population of the UK is. Because the comparisons and the split between different groups of workers — young and old, migrant and ordinarily resident — has changed in recent years, the statistics may not be that accurate.”
(The Times; Nov 1, 2006)

I can easily undersatnd why they are unable to measure the population now. There are lots of people coming and leaving every day...I know it by experience;) And the Poles are included, of course, in the list of immigrants flooding the United Kingdom. I personally think there are too many of them there :S It was weird when I was walking down the street in London, and each time I heard my language!! I almost felt as if I were at home all the time :S But anyway, since I don't have much time now [gotta go to sleep, must be awake tomorrow at 6a.m. :S meh :/] , I'll just post a few most intriguing, in my opinion, quotes from the newspapers. I think these ones chosen by me [during this weekend, indeed] will make a good material for discussion on Thu :) At least I hope so, since the note I'll be given for my work will partially depend on the group's interest and active participation :P So here we go...

Immigration alone, of course, is not the only source of their problems, and there is a danger of immigrants becoming the whipping boys for every grievance. The trouble is that random population growth impacts directly on everything feeding rumbling middle-class discontent: rising taxes, rising mortgages, failing schools, the overstretched National Health Service, crime and insecurity of every kind. I do not anticipate riots or demonstrations, but a mood of semi-suppressed nastiness could gradually develop.
(The Sunday Times; Nov 5)

'We recognise the positive contributions immigration makes to the country and the economy," the Prime Minister's official spokesman said last week. "If we don't have migration, we don't have the growth from the economy that we all benefit from."
(Daily Telegraph, July 7)

For low-skilled Britons, the result is that there are only two options: very low pay or unemployment. The economy becomes dependent on a constant influx of immigrants who are willing to accept low pay and poor working conditions. That is what Labour ministers mean when they insist that "public services would collapse without immigrants".
(Daily Telegraph, July 7)

Mr Cameron told the BBC: "We are saying yes, look at the economic benefits of migration, make sure we make the most of them, but then actually have a limit which is set according to the pressures on health and education and housing. That's sensible politics."
The Tories concede they can not stop EU immigration, but annual limits could mean "significantly less" than current levels.
But asked what reduction he envisaged, he said: "We can't put numbers on that today, because we are some way away from the election and the circumstances that we would be in at the time
(BBC News, Nov 9)

And these are only few short quotes of all the material I've collected. Don't you think some of these statements are a bit contradictory? Don't you think they [the government, I mean] really cannot do anything right now but state 'Yes, we are aware of the whole situation. We WILL control it. We WILL put limits.', but HOW can they announce it so proudly right now when they do not even know the numbers, as mentioned in the last quote I pasted.It's all really intersting. Seems as if it is not a temporary anxiety over the issue; yet, I don't think it'll really be easy for the British government to put limits so out of a sudden. But it's an important issue, so they have to work on it.. Good luck !

Anybody would like to share their thoughts with me ??

Shopping Sunday

Sun, 05 Nov 2006 19:57:19 GMT

Ha, from now on you can admire the new amazing banner on my space !

Huge warm THANK YOU is going now to Conny ,who, being so busy with other people's requests, did it especially for me !!

Really, really thank you, the banner is great .

How was your weekend, people??

Mine was... very nice, huh. I went to the pub with my old mates from high school on Friday, had a funny evening with them, catching up with the latest news from their lives. Yesterday I was quite busy with my kids and extra classes I give them, huh,so that was a funny day. I got to know that Ewka, the youngest girl I've been teaching for more than 2 years so far, loves me . Lol, that was quite shocking a confession, heehee . But it was very sweet... My heart melted at once . That's a cute kid, you know, very talented and lazy at the same time . I think she will grow a very clever and sharp lady. But anyway, I don't want to talk about Ewka only,huh. To sum up my Saturday events - I had quite a few extra lessons and later had to...clean the house . So it was not a very attractive day, but not the worst one, either. Luckily, I had a relaxing evening. But today... woohoo!! I spent the whole Sunday wandering round the shops and...buying clothes . I know, I know, I wrote a few entries below that I would wait with that till I lose a few kilos...heehee, but I couldn't resist when I saw all those funky clothes, buhaha ... Yet, I haven't been on big shopping in Toruń since I came back to Poland more than a month ago, that's a lot of time! I waited long enough, huh . But to be honest... now I am convinced I have to pick up some serious training ! Maybe fitness again... Because volleyball is not enough, now I know - I couldn't try on any clothes of my previous size, I looked horrible in them . But I'm happy with the results of my shopping, heehee, a few new T-shirts and pretty, new lingerie is always a nice change in every woman's life, isn't it ?

And now... I can only wish you all a sunny, warm and eventful new week !!

Friday

Fri, 27 Oct 2006 17:33:24 GMT

Yup, it's Friday today...the end of the week, horray, at last!

I forgot to add one piece of news to my blog yesterday ,so I just updated that entry today, btw (It's the part about mr Griffiths).

How is your weekend going to be? Hopefully full of emotions ;)? I think I'll have time to upload the new photos tonight, as I don't feel like going out, not today. Oh, and I want to paste my kitty's pics, you should be able to see them under this entry :) They were taken when it was only 6 weeks old :)!! Isn't it sweet ?? Oooh, I love it :))!!

I've been so busy recently, you know. Even though I guess I don't have so many classes at the uni as during the previous year! That's weird, what am I doing then all the time ;)? Somehow I can't find much leisure, always have to do something...Meh. That's mad.

Huh, I read onto Debz's space that she was to see 'Children of the men'...I saw it about a month ago when I was still in London...*sighs* But I didn't like it at all ?! It was a crap film to me, honest. I went to watch the movie full of hopes for a good one,as the trailer was really intriguing,and I heard quite a few positive reviews. So imagine my disappointment when I finally went to the cinema ! I almost fell asleep once during the seance, hehe. Even Clive Owen or Julianne Moore didn't impress me at all. A typical American movie foreseeing sad future, full of bollocks and poor acting. Sorry, but that's my opinion. And the ending was so moving....ermm...yeah, right ...

the newsflash

Thu, 26 Oct 2006 18:25:13 GMT

Ladies and gentlemen,

the latest pieces of news from my life! Here we go...

Just got the latest London photos, which I think are the last ones as well! They are cool, anyway, as all of them, no matter what you may think :P I'm gonna put them here as soon as I scan them.

One sentence @ Ahmed - thanks for the last chat, was fun, you a crazy boy, heehee ;)

I am invited to a housewarming party on Saturday; horray, will be fun, jejejeje !! And indeed, when I'm thinking of it now, I realise I have never been to such a party before ;O! Therefore,I have to make up for it, don't I ;)?

What is funny I can't buy any clothes right now... And you'll laugh when you find out the reason ;) Because... Well, I can't buy anything, since, as I've already mentioned it a few times, I put on weight during working at McDonald's x) And I don't know if I want to lose that weight or not, buahaha... Hence, I don't want to buy anything till I make up my mind as to lose weight or not ,lol! Because I don't want to have clothes that don't fit...:P

LOL, I know it sounds as typical girlish babbling XD

I took up a German language course on ZMP level...this one I think should be enough if I want to start German philology next year...?? What do you think...? I've made up my mind quite recently about starting the German studies [of course next year,now it's too late;]... I guess it's not a bad idea. As I'm gonna get the MA degree in English Philology in 4 years [including this one in it too], and if I started German Philology next year I would write my BA's thesis in 3 years... And this means if I were lucky [hehe], I would get TWO degrees at once :P Ha, that's tricky, isn't it? I find it quite a clever idea, I must admit. But on the other hand, I'm wondering if defending two theses at the same time won't be too much for me. But then again there's another solution, I could have a break any time I felt too much pressure :) Ha, so if my enthusiasm doesn't disappear till next October, I'll be a student of two faculties, woohoo ;)

Oh, and I had the unusual chance to meet Niall Griffiths LIVE, haha ! He was a guest to our city last week on Friday - lead the literary workshop at my university [that was pretty interesting!!] and in the evening he attended the meeting in the British Council Library. I was there,too. It was a kind of interview with him about his life and literary work [I got to know he had already been to Poland once,wow!]. After it, the author signed his books [got an autograph, jejeje xD] and everybody had a chance to talk to him. Of course, I couldn't let such an opportunity run away and had a short conversation with him ;) Haha, he remembered us [I mean me & a few friends from my faculty who came along as well], so the talk was very nice and light.

An inspiring event :)

Oh, and the last newsflash - I've found my sis....

sounds a bit mysterious, doesn't it ;)? But don't worry, I'm not a poor child that has lived for 20 years without her sibling ;) I only mean that a new friend of mine is a cool gal with whom I can talk hours not noticing the time passing by [usu. at nights, coz we have no time during the day;]! Heehee, yup Pat, I'm talking about you XD Just set up a blog on msn,please, so that I could write looooooong comments on it, haha ;)

What else...

I think that's it for now .

Cheers !

"My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do [CD version]
All the stuff that you do [radio edited version]

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus]

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

[Chorus x2]

[x2]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Yeah, this song just stuck in my head...

I've been listening to it a few times or more each day...

and I know exactly why...

Why is everything so confusing ? Why the hell does it have to be so difficult and illogical ?
