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! :)
