Well this is my first post... Hmm, what should I start with?

10 minutes later... Haha, I was just joking. Alright, so maybe I should introduce myself briefly- I think it would be nice to know who writes to you. I have been living in the UK since May 2015 (don't worry I do remember the exact date :)) but originally I come from Krakow. It is an amazing city-believe me. It's one of these cities which never goes to sleep. You can enjoy every single day hanging out with your friends, going to the pub or spending time on your own with a good book in one of the local cafes. I used to go the high school in the city centre and I can even recall my first day out there... I was so elated that I was going to the school which was within the area of these great monuments, cafes, theatres... Simply to say it was like my first step in a big world. However after first few days there was no magic anymore. Being stuck in traffic every single day, going on the morning bus which was fully packed (a good side of it: I discovered a new yoga position, namely hieroglyph- and nope, I am not pulling your legs this time), and burning the midnight oils because I forgot to write an essay or just because I wanted to study. On the day of graduation I got to know how great it was to feel happiness. Yeah, I was happy at last! And then the time to pack myself came as I had decided to study in the UK (tbh I had been dreaming about it since I was 10 or 11). The day when I had my flight was at the same time the happiest and the saddest one. Perhaps one of you will understand me. Seeing my dad crying is the most heartbreaking thing in the world - he has been always anchoring me... ;( Such days are really hard to go through and thus we might think it will never ever be as good as it used to be.
It will, I promise, just give some time.
So I arrived to Plymouth and was quite excited about what might happen to me in a new place. After two or three weeks, I got my first job. It was supposed to be only a temporary one as I got into Derby University. Two months passed so quickly- I met wonderful people and the bad ones as well. I started feeling like at home in Plymouth. And that was a big surprise to me. Let me explain this to you. Krakow is a place where there are a lot of people partying, sightseeing or whatever, and then we look at Plymouth... I am sure most of you has seen the movie which is called 'I am a legend' with Will Smith as Robert Neville. When you go for a walk after 5/6 PM, it is highly possible that you find yourself as the only one human walking on the pavement in Plymouth... However there is something in this city, some magic. Keeping in my mind that 'life goes on', I was going to Derby to start a new chapter in my life. And then it happened... I felt so bad in this city. I was trying to make myself like it. But I just couldn't. It was like the intuition- I knew it was not a place for me. After few days I was on the train, coming back to Plymouth. I started working in the factory where I used to work before 'my trip to Derby' and I got into college to do the law course. I kept saying that it was going to be only a year, only 365 days. Actually it was. I applied to Plymouth University and to Aberystwyth University and to another three universities in the UK. I got the offer from each of them and when the time came to decide which one I wanted to choose, I took a decision that Aberystwyth University would be the best for my future career path... I was thinking like this at that time.
I moved into Aberystwyth two weeks ago and I must admit I have the same intuition as I had in Derby. However don't think I'm immature and cannot move on due to being scared of another chapter in my life. No, I'm fully conscious while saying that I'm mature. I have grown up for this year. However I felt disappointed as I found out that all of these opportunities which I could have during my time in Aberystwyth were out of date.
Aberystwyth is a lovely place. Although it is a small town, it's a perfect holiday destination. Yes, Im right saying that. You can put your feet up and totally forget about the real life. However it's not my cup of tea to live in such place. And then I realised how foolish I was that I didn't choose the Plymouth University... again. And yes, I am coming back to Plymouth but after my first, as I found out that I can do a transfer.
So 238 days till my third coming back to Plymouth. I decided to give 100% of me in this academic year and take an advantage of these days in here.
Aw, I think I forgot to mention that I study law with French but I am totally sure that you would find out as my posts will include some 'legal ingredients'.
Only 238 days left...
Current mood: what can I say? Another ordinary day...
