Creeps among us

 Today I’m coming to you with another recommendation. This time it’s a movie I watched last weekend, titled Creep.

I must admit, I am a fan of horror and thriller movies. I know these aren’t very ambitious genres and they are often productions of poor quality, but there’s always this haunting sense of fear and thrill. You never know what’s going to happen next and sometimes when you do, you want to just close your eyes and stop watching.

I had a similar feelings while watching Creep. It’s an American production, premiered in 2014 and directed by Patrick Brice. It’s a movie of just two actors and tells a story about a guy who finds out that he’s terminally ill so he decides to record a video diary for his unborn baby. To do that, he employs a guy named Aaron and they spend a whole day together. Of course, it turns out later that not everything is what it seems to be.

It’s not the best thriller movie in the world but I found it very decent. What is the most terrifying, in my opinion, is that it doesn’t involve any supernatural elements like in many movies of similar genre. It’s about someone who has some psychological problems that significantly influence his life – so in reality, it can be anyone. When you meet someone new, everything may seem fine, but you never know what is next. You never know how this person is really like. Of course, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t meet anyone new anymore or that you should assume that everyone is a freak – but rather to keep your mind clear and maintain your caution as well.

Obviously, there are some elements in this movie which were a little incomprehensible (if you watch it, you’ll understand) but in general it’s a movie I can fully recommend you. Well, of course only if you like this kind of cinematography.

Post-Christmas

As I’m writing this post, my stomach is full of pierogi and herrings and the blood in my veins has transformed into the red borsch and my grandma’s sweet apricot liqueur (low-alcohol, don’t worry). Of course food is not the most important thing now, but since it’s Christmas, why not indulge ourselves with the feasts full of gorgeous meals, delicious sweets and high class beverages worth Greek gods. Well, Christmas is already over and I hope everyone spent them the way they like the most, with family or by themselves, with tons of homemade food or pierogi bought in the supermarket, with presents under the Christmas tree or watching “Home Alone” for the hundredth time. Personally, it has been another very nice Christmas for me, spent with my family and friends who are dear to us, as Frank Sinatra sang. Despite the whole situation with the coronavirus, I managed to spend this Christmas with my parents and visit my grandparents. It felt like it was some sort of wind of normality – we wer

Speaking of travelling, it turns out hard not to mention the Erasmus programme. I am pretty sure every student has heard about it and all of its advantages. I took part in this programme in 2018 when I went to the city of Seville in southern Spain. I spent there almost five months, from the early September till the end of January and I think I won’t exaggerate if I say it has been the best experience of my life so far. There are, obviously, many reasons why you probably should take part in the Erasmus exchange. As the student of languages, one of the most important aspects for me is improving language skills. Frankly speaking, I think it would be impossible to live in a foreign country and study in your target language (with other native speakers) and not to improve. It happens almost automatically – you can talk with your flatmates, classmates, cashiers in the shops, people on the street, integrate with local community and with that, you become not only more fluent, but also more ou

December

Here it is. December. A month of creaking snow, colourful lights and Santa Claus waiting for us at every corner. Well, from those three things this year we are left only with the second one. Snow in the most of Poland has already become quite rare phenomenon. About Santa... I guess it’s because he had to replace a beard for a mask. I really like December. It’s usually a nice relief after rainy and grey November. Although days are shorter and we have our lamps turned on more often than turned off, December starts with this feeling of incoming Christmas time. It’s a month when you can officially start playing Christmas songs and it probably won’t be considered too early. People start decorating their houses, they put enormous Christmas trees in front of the shopping galleries or at Old Market Squares and everything just feels differently. I have turned 23 this year and when Christmas is coming, my inner child wakes up every year. I hear all the time adults saying that Christmas is no
