The Gym

Recently I decided to go to the gym. I want to have better condition and I decided to go there with my sister. We both have really hard time this year and because of this we have lack of time spend together. To fix it we arranged to go to the gym 3-4 times a week for about 40 minutes to 1 hour. We go there after lessons in the evening so it is kind of work out before sleeping. We are both a motivation for each other, because there are some situations when one of us is so tired after whole day at school that she doesn’t want to go there and do some exercises. During this activity I realised that recently I neglected a bit my sister and it shouldn’t be like this. Family is the most important thing in the world and it always should be put first. I also see a change in myself. I don’t feel so tired all the time and have more energy during the day when a night before I went to a gym. It is important to do something for our body, because nowadays there are a lot of people working all the time to the detriment of their health. We should all slow down and think carefully about our priority.

Treasurer

It is the end of a school year and I was a class treasurer for a whole year.  It wasn’t a new job for me, because I had a same function last year, but this time it was harder for me. I think it was like this because of our timetable. I have only one lesson with my whole class, so it was very difficult for me to collect money from everyone in a short time, sometimes even impossible. Most stressful situations were when I had certain time to do this and I had to give the money to a teacher or someone commanding. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to do this, so I was trying to keep everyone from my class to remember about money. I had this problem for example when I had to collect down payments for pre-graduation ball. Also I felt a huge responsibility and was a bit scared when I had to carry with me big amount of money. I was afraid that I could lose it or someone will steal it from me. Thankfully nothing like this had happened and all needed money was provided on time and in the right amount.

Cleaning the World

Yesterday I participated in an event called "cleaning the world". This action gather together people that want to take care about the environment usually including neighbouring schools and residents. This time we were cleaning a small forest near my block of flats in Siemianowice Ślaskie. I think it was a great idea and even me and my family was thinking about organising something like this. This forrest is a beautiful place and recently was renovated so it keeps looking better each month. It is a great place for a long walk with friends or family but also the only place in neighbourhood were dogs could feel free to run. The only problem was that each time I was there my dog came back to house feeling sick. He was eating some garbage that was left there. We (because I went there with my whole family) decided no to be listless. This was the place were we live and we couldn't leave it like this. But the things I saw were terrible. A lot of garbage, empty bottles of alcohol, tons of cups and even some drugs residues. I think that the place we had founded in the forrest was a meeting place of drug addicts. It was very exhausting adventure for me and I think they after this what I have saw I am not going to throw any trash on the ground ever!

Biking

Last week my parents had bought me a bicycle, finally. It was very good time because a short holiday had started and I had some free time that I could spend in an active way. I decided to go for a bike together with my friend. We went to Częstochowa were he has a small summerhouse and there is a lot of free space for biking and relaxing. We went to neighbouring village to a lake and back to his house.

Also wen we got back to Katowice we decided not to take bus when we wanted to get to city centre but take a bike instead. In this way we were taking care about out health and gain condition but also take care about the environment.

We really like to spend time together, but we don’t like boredom, so a bike seemed to be a great idea for us. And it was. We had spent an amazing time together and had so much fun. I hope we will be able to repeat this action as much times as it will be possible.

Hiking

Recently I went hiking together with my family and my friend. We went on Szyndzielnia (in Bielsko-Biała city) and then higher to the Klimczok. These are both names of the mountaintops. It was a great trip for me. Nothing is as much relaxing as hiking. Everyone felt tired and unable to talk, so we walked in silence. This is beautiful, because we had spent this time together but each of us could think on his own and take a rest from the city noise. Also our eyes could relax, because we were watching beautiful view in the distance instead of reading or doing something on the computer, then our eyes has to be concentrated and get tired faster.  

I have founded this activity very relaxing and I appreciated the most a dinner that we could eat at the top. I was so tired and exhausted that I have felt like I ate the best dumplings with berries in the whole world. Maybe it was, because of my tiredness or maybe they really had amazing dumplings.
