Boring civics class, blood drawn, and lime coke
May 9, 20192 min read

Welcome! Today it was my first day in school since last month. Teachers in my country went on strike, so we didn't have classes. But the strike is over — and so is my free time.

I had easy classes today: civics, English, two hours of Polish, and that's it. Civics was the worst. My teacher somehow changes the speed of the clock — I always feel like it's two hours instead of one. Today's topic actually wasn't that bad though; we were talking about the European Union and how it works, because last week was the 15th anniversary of Poland joining the EU. Tomorrow I have a day off because I'm going to the doctor.

After school I went home, watched a new episode of Riverdale on Netflix, and then downloaded my Google, Snapchat, and Facebook data. I found a few interesting things — for example, I didn't know that when Google tracks my location, it saves whether I was walking or driving. I also found some really embarrassing things from my past.

I've been checking my email for almost 8 days now. I'm waiting for a test project that will decide if I'm going to get a job as a C++ Software Engineer. I'm so pumped about this but also a little afraid. If I get this job, I'd have to keep up with school and work at the same time. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'll figure it out later. The job is 100% remote so that's at least good news. I've never worked before so all of this is new to me, and I'm thrilled.

I haven't had dinner yet and I'm literally starving — I had blood drawn this morning and couldn't have breakfast, so today I've eaten only two chocolate bars and drank lime coke so far.

I think that's it for now. Really, I gotta eat something.
