Studies in Poznań coming to an end

I know this post is very personal. But I also know not many will ever read it.

We are very close to the end of the first semester, and by the end of june I should graduate from my university. For this reason, I have been recenly reminisce on past events that took place in last 4.5 years.

I come from Gorzów Wielkopolski and in 2013 I moved to Poznań for my studies. I remember being very optimistic about starting this new stage in my life but in fact, now I look forward to it's end and can't wait to return home. Many consider studies the most beautiful and spontaneous time in everyone's life, for me - it has been rough. In this time, many things have happened and I learned a lot about myself. I have met many people who permamently changed my life, not only in a good way. And being separated from my parents and their protection, it was much more difficult to deal with adult life that, naturally, hit me hard. From the other hand, my parents have always been too protective and this is why my first steps into adulthood caused me so much stress.

All sumed up, I am very thankful for this time when I was given a chance of living the way I have always wanted to. I have learned a lot about myself.

Our new family member!

A few days ago we have adopted a kitten of 5 months and because we live in Łazarz we named her Łazanka. The name not only reminds of the quarter we live in but also is a type of pasta commonly used in polish cuisine. For all of these reasons, the name seemed very special and fancy for us. As a typical cat lady who has already raised many kittens I shouldn't be very surprised with her behavior. But I am. Despite my experience with cats, I don't always can stand her attacking my feet when I sleep or bite my fingers when being in a fun mood. Generally, she's a good kitten. Sometimes comes to sit on my lap, the other time lays down next to me on bed and purrs merrily. I truly adore these bonding moments with her. And any time we TRY to walk her on a leash (I think it's cruel never letting a cat have some fresh air) she knows I'm her momma and runs towards me whenever feels scared of something. For me, it's a true proof of cat's attachment to it's owner.

People think that kittens are nothing but little sweet balls of fur, but in fact kittenhood is the most challenging time for each cat owner. Time passing by, these animals become much more calmer but being honest - none adult cat I have ever had has been emotionally stable. So whenever you think about adopting a cat - think it through.
