Santa Claus is coming to town! :)

Hi again!
The day before yesterday, it's 6 December, we celebrated Saint Nicolas' Day. This day is for me some kind of beginning of Christmas fever although the real beginning of this period is the first Sunday of the Advent.
I think that every year the Christmas spree begins sooner and sooner. This year, from the supermarkets just dissappeared candels and flowers, at once appeared Christmas decorations, sweets and many types of gifts. In my opinion it's too early to buy these things in such advance.
My family and I, we saw ourselves yesterday Sunday because the 6th everybody had his matters, like every Saturday. We prepared some small gifts because it's not necessary to buy expensive presents 2 weeks before Christmas. We do it every year because we prefer to buy something better for Christmas :). This year I did the first Christmas gift for my little goddaughter Iza. She's only 7 months and it will be her first Christmas :). Now, I'm thinking about what to buy her for this occasion. As a godmother I have to make a good job :). Any ideas? :)
Lastly, my favourite Christmas song :) Kisses!

The winter is coming!

Hi, there!
I haven't been here some time and we have already December. Recently, the time pass with the speed of light. From my last post it happend a lot.
The 12th November it was my mum's birthday. I won't tell you how old is she because it doesn't matter here but I can only tell that she passed the magic border of human's life, especially important for a woman :). I can only wish her a lot of hapiness and health and once again so many years :).
The November transpired very busy month too. The school where I work organised the meetings with parents and, what's interesting, with children. For the first time I've met with such form of meetings because it was always my mum or dad who took part in the meetings with teachers. In my work each teacher was sitting by his own table. The children with their parents were walking from table to table to talk a while with every teacher, so with me too. It was a valuable experience for me at the beginning of my professional road :)
The December began frosty because this autumn, for the first time, the temperature fell below 0 degree Celsius. Moreover, it's very windy what only makes me feel that it's colder outside.
It leaves me nothing more than to say that "winter is coming" which is one of the most famous sentences from "The game of thrones" serial :).

November creeps into the cities :-)

Hello again! :-)
Sorry that I hadn't write anything since 2 weeks but I have a lot of obligations and the fact of thinking about everything is impossible. I hope I'll write more often now.
In latest 2 weeks it occured a lot of things in my life. The November has begun with much of sun and high temperatures. We haven't had such beautiful autumn since many years. It's called polish golden autumn :-). The 1st November we excperienced All Saints' Day. This day in Poland all the families visit cemeteries where are buried their closest, so do I. In the afternoon I participated in the service at the cemetery where rests my grandfather. Unfortunately, every year I have to visit more and more graves. Later, I spent time with my family in my house and in the evening we went to the cemetery to admire the graves with thousands of candles and beautiful flowers. It's the only thing I like in this feast.
During all the week I has going to the university and to the work. I forgot to say that I have begun working in a primary school and a lower secondary school in Poznan. Of course I teach Spanish :-). My pupils are very curious and I really like to teach them.
Today, the 11th November, we celebrate in Poland the Independence Day. In all the biggest cities, in Poznań too, there are a lot of interesting events like parades or stage productions. These days I rest in my house but since Wednesday, that is tommorow, we have to return to everyday life :-). The next break from studies? Not until the Christmas! :-( I just can't wait for it! :-)
See you soon! :-)

For a good start :)

Hi there!
My name's Natalia and I study Spanish philology at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. I'm on the fourth grade of my studies and exactly this academic year I've started to re-learn English. Yes, I said "re-learn" because I haven't been learning English for 3 years, since I finished High School. For that reason, I have considerable difficulties in "thinking in English" :). No wonder, during last 3 years the romanic languages seized me totally: besides Spanish, I learn also French. So, don't wonder and, I beg you, don't laugh at me if I'll make some errors when I'll write that blog :). I won't take offence if somebody will correct me: It is never late to learn!

Ok, I think you're curious about why this blog and why in English? Firstly, this blog is a type of my "homework" for English lessons. Our English teacher want us, all the students, to write something in English every week for practising. In my opinion it's a good idea, because we can improve our acquaintance with English, not only in speech but in writing too. If you want, you can follow my English teacher's blog which is a role model for me and for everybody who wants to write good in English :).
I've decided to write about everything what happens in my life. I'm not good at thematic blogs and I didn't want to write about something what doesn't interest me. I think my life's quite dynamic and full of events, so I hope you won't be bored :). See you soon! :)
