sometimes I wear my headphones even when I'm not listening to music.

One would think that hyper-bureaucracy would induce order, but apparently in Poland in just aids to the chaos.  I had my first day of "classes" today.  I barely know where to begin...

I rode the bus with several olowek students to the social sciences building, far off main campus.  We reach the alloted room and building, which equals class right? no.  "Institute of Philology? but that's on main campus, but the address they gave us is here, the building is not."  We wait for half an hour, there's a different class entirely, go to the international office to whine, "you were late, so the teacher left!"  "No, you gave us the wrong address..." 

Institute of Philosophy, institute of philology...hmmm, little bit of a difference, apparently no one is proofreading the english documents, maybe we should just pick our classes by drawing out of a hat, that would have a bit more organization I think.  One doesn't actually sign up for classes either, like most all schools online, in fact, the classes aren't even posted online.

You show up the first to weeks and write your name on a piece of paper, how could anything go wrong with this foolproof system, I hope it took them a lot of time to figure that one...

Not that I'm complaining, just conforming to the culture... in uncomfortable positions.
