Your career starts here!

It has been 3 weeks since I started higher education and I have to admit that it is not easy to work and study, but nobody said it was easy:) Lectures are very interesting and inspiring... actually everyday is a challenge. Yesterday I finished my tutorial at 5 and was supposed to be at work at 5:30. Unfortunately, I was late due to a traffic congestion... Oh, I hate when I am late (even a few minutes). Next month I will have to submit my first essay so I am a bit scared, as I have never written an academic coursework. The thing is that I try to give the best of me every day but I know that I am not perfect. It drives me crazy but we are only human (oh, sometimes I think that I am an alien from Mars). A few months ago I promised myself: 'If I reach my destination, I will use every chance'. Aberdeen is such a wonderful, industrial, fast-moving, prosperous city and the Robert Gordon University is such an inspiring, simultaneous place:) such a great place to study:) I don't want to waste and miss any chance I am given.

If you are reading this post now, it means that you probably consider studying abroad... It was NOT very difficult for me to answer the question "What am I going to do in the future?" I did not have this problem, because I really fell for business at the age of 17. I did not want to study Law (my relatives wanted that), I did not want to study engineering (Polish government and job advisers wanted that:)), I would not like to be a doctor or an architect. I am crazy about business, economics management, marking, human resources, advertising, finance. I have so many ideas in my head... I wish I could paint or sing... But I did not get any of these gifts....But I have an artistic soul so, at least, I have my creativeness, imagination and passion. I am addicted to music (I listen to music all the time), I love photography, travelling, geography and obviously I love English:)



Today we had a Management Development lecture and I found a very interesting quotation:

Omni Nunc Arte Magistra

Make the best of your abilities

I hope that you will make a good decision and have a chance to study something that you love, something that makes you happy, something that really interests you...

If you do not know what you would like to do in the future, do not panic. Have a gap year... Many people do it. Maybe you need more time to find your vocation:) My colleague studied Managements Studies but she did not like it... so she applied for Biochemistry and she is a fresher again:) Did she waste a year? No! She learned many transferable skills, improved her language skills and, most importantly, realized what she wants to do for the rest of her life:) Ask yourself "Is it really something that I want to do for 40 or 45 years of my life?' It is your choice. You can listen to your parents, classmates, teachers, career advisers, economists, government... But remember that you are the one who makes a final decision!



Are you scared about your future?

You have to watch this video!

Thumbs up!

People, Help The People...

Studying at university is not only about assimilating data from extremely thick and clever books. It is your chance to develop your communication and interpersonal skills. It is a great opportunity to pick up some work-experience, meet fantastic people and learn new things, such as cooking.

It is 30th August. When I came to the UK on 30th May, I was so scared. I thought: "God, I don't even know what British coins look like." Yeah, I remember that I had a big problem with money:)

Surprisingly, I have been selling coffee, tea, biscuits, books etc at WRVS Café (Woolmanhill Hospital) for a month. I am a volunteer and everything my customers buy helps older people get more out of life:) Every Thursday I have to open the café, deal with customers and their money, write reports, operate coffee machine and dishwasher ( I am not sure if I do it correctly).

I love talking to customers. A week ago I had a wonderful conversation with a nice Scottish lady. I told her about my journey, first days in the UK, my work, education and she was so impressed.



I cannot even describe how I feel when I count money before closing the café and when I throw money into a special box:):):)



I think that such small things make as happy. Not a brand new I-Phone, not expensive Armani watches...
Yeah, volunteering is a gift. It is your chance. Do not waste it! Contribute to our society, help, volunteer...

People help the people

Nothing will drag you down

Long Journey

"Long  journey, David?" 

That's what my boss said when he got to know that my place at Robert Gordon University had been officially confirmed.

Yeah, I think that life is a journey and I am currently at the bus stop called "RGU" waiting for a bus which can take me to my final destination... I realize that it is going to be a difficult journey, but nobody said it was easy:)

I came back from my work (Tesco) and found this email:

"Dear Mr Jaskiewicz,
Congratulations. This email confirms your place at Robert Gordon University for the Management with Marketing, N2N5 course. Your course starts in September 2012."

 

 

Although I was dead tired, I decided to visit my university and its Business School. Afterwards, I came back home, had one-hour sleep and went to work (Japanese restaurant). I was soooo exhausted when I came back home at 11 pm. Actually, I was so tired that I couldn't even sleep. And I was also extremely excited:)





It is impossible to describe this wonderful feeling and a sense of achievement when you are accepted by university and your dream comes true. You will never know if you never try!



When I was coming back from RGU, I found this poster. I thought: If I had not applied and had given up in the middle of the road , I would not be here now. Maybe it sounds like a cliché, but if you have dreams, follow them even if the whole world is against you. Even if there are many obstacles, even if your dreams seem to be unreal...

Me and Great Britain

All my friends know that I am crazy about Geography, which has been my big love since I started education in primary school. When I was a kid, I used to think about my travelling to "big cities" and exploring unexplored places:) Therefore, I did not want to spend my whole life in Poland. It is not because I am not patriotic. Although I really like my homeland (which is as beautiful as Scotland), I think that I am not a part of it. Sometimes I can't believe that I managed to spend 19 years in this country:) It is all about my personality, ambitions, attitude to life and people... Great Britain is different from Poland, I am different. I am a complete dreamer, so it was hard for me to live among extremely serious people:(

I just wanted to be free, I wanted to sing from the top of my lungs, I wanted to dream, I wanted to squeeze my life like a lemon, I wanted to think independently, I wanted to be myself. And I couldn't, because I would have been considered to be a madman:(

Here I sing at work with my colleagues, I tell people about my dreams and nobody says "It is impossible". Once I told my mum that I would like to be a bird. She laughed... Now I feel that I have wings...

What I like about Britain? Diversity. My colleague cannot imagine that in my school we had literally no international students:( Here I can meet individuals from all parts of the globe. Here I work with people from India, Kazakhstan, Korea, Japan, Poland:), Philippines, Scotland, England, China, and this is amazing. Now I know that the world is not black and blue.... It is full of colours, diverse and this is wonderful... Now I know that here there is a place for me...

NIN, bank account, flat...work

When you come to the UK, you will have to take care of some formal things such us National Insurance Number. First and foremost, you are to call Job Centre Plus: 0845 600 06 43 and make an appointment. Unfortunately, you cannot call from Poland:( But you can ask someone else to call on behalf of you. During an interview you just have to present your proof of address (it may be a bank statement, letter from UCAS with your British address-if you change your contact details in Track, you will get such letter in a few days:) or even proof of address letter written by another tenant. Of course, you will need any proof of identity-it may be you ID or passport. I got my number 7 days after a day of my interview but I may take longer. Do not worry, because you really can be employed, work and even get your first salary without this number!

You do not have to worry about your bank account, either. All U need is a proof of identity and address (letter from UCAS is a very good solution). I would recommend Barclays http://www.barclays.co.uk/PersonalBanking/P1242557947640 , as you can have your account open in literally one day and do not have to pay a penny for most of the things! Just visit your nearest branch and open your account in approximately 30 minutes:)

Flat/room. I am just looking for a new one, since I have to move out on 1st September. Therefore, I can recommend a few websites:

http://www.spareroom.co.uk/

http://www.zoopla.co.uk/

http://www.gumtree.com/aberdeen

If U want to rent a room, you should be very careful, since there are many fraudsters who want to take advantage of naive student. I am not a lawyer, but I can show you an example of my flat share agreement. You are advised to sign something (even such unprofessional document) before giving your money to someone else!

FLAT SHARE AGREEMENT
FLAT SHARE AGREEMENT for X bedroom flat in (address)
This agreement confirms that
flatmate, YOUR NAME
is currently renting the flat leased to:
tenant, NAME
at the above address, for the period
from ............... to................. .
The amount of rent will be charged
£X per month for the flat (£X per month for the room).

• There is a X-pound deposit paid by the flatmate, which will be returned to him when he moves out leaving the flat in a good condition without any financial liabilities. It means that the deposit will be paid back with return of the keys, general inspection and at least a full calendar month notice.


• The flatmate's amount of rent (£X per month) and bills will be paid via Internet Banking from the flatmate's account (flatmate's account number:XXXXX, flatmate's sort number:XXXXXX) to tenant's account (tenant's account number: XXXX, tenant's sort number: XXXXX).


• The flatmate agrees too keep the flat in a good condition and will not engage in antisocial behavior.


• Bills (Internet, gas, electricity) will be paid on an equal basis by both the tenant and the flatmate.

Signed:

NAME, tenant                                                                                          place and date ...............................

YOUR NAME, flatmat                                                                             place and date ..................................

Health. You should find your nearest GP here http://www.nhs24.com/, register and take advantage of free medicines (prescription) in Scotland. Before you come, you are advised to apply for European Health Insurance Card in your country (just in case).

Work... it is a very difficult topic, because some people find work in 2 days while the others aren't employed for a few months. My advice-arrive in May/beginning of June when students and employees go on holiday, 16 and 18-years-old revise for exams. I wouldn't come here in August, because there are few job advertisements and lots of people eager to work-students, seasonal workers etc. It must be extremely difficult to find something in September, because thousands of students come back from holiday and everybody wants to be employed:( Generally, it is up to you! I believe that it is worth arriving earlier, as you can get acquainted with the city, make friends, improve your language and get used to the accent etc:)

Important: Before you come, you must prepare a professional BRITISH CV (it is not only about the language) with contact details (British address and mobile number). You can buy a sim card on Allegro and print your CV in Poland in advance. I printed 200 copies or my résumé! I used only 30 but I managed to find work in 5 days' time:)

British CV http://www.kent.ac.uk/careers/cv/goodbadCV.htm

• without photo


• different format


• focus on skills and experience

Where can you find work?

• http://www.gumtree.com/aberdeen


• http://www.emito.net/ogloszenia/Aberdeen/Praca-w-Anglii-Szkocji-Walii-Irlandii-Polnocnej


• http://jobseekers.direct.gov.uk/homepage.aspx?sessionid=0c87c8ff-a119-4c0c-9644-6e21be1da92e&pid=2
• many other websites,


• ask people (you do not even realize who important it is)


• look for job advertisements EVERYWHERE! (that is how I found my work in Japanese restaurant)


• leave your CV in different places or ask about any vacancies


• just keep searching and you will find. Do not sit at home! Believe in yourself! Do not give up! 

You can even start sending CVs by email from home in May, that way you have 1 month in advance looking for a job and see if they will answer  Do not tell them anything about NIN, just say that you had an interview and you are just awaiting for the number. Normally they simply require a CV, nothing else. 

Do not forget about SAAS in Scotland or a student loan if you want to study in England!



I wish you luck!:):)

Reaching my destination

I am so happy that I managed to reach my destination despite various obstacles...

I think that now I may provide U with a number of practical tips about living and working in the United Kingdom.

First of all, U have to book a flight, because an airplane is the fastest means of transport. Obviously, you can also get here by bus, but I wouldn't recommend it;p;p

I chose easyJet (http://www.easyjet.com/EN) from Krakow to Edinburgh,yet I know that many people travel with RYANAIR or Lufthansa (Luft is cheap only when U buy a return ticket Krakow-Aberdeen). U just have to find an appropriate date with a good price and pay with credit or debit card. Then U must print your boarding pass and this is it. Oh, do not forget about a limit of you luggage-it is 20 kilo if U fly with easyJet, and 15 (not sure) if U choose RYANAIR.


I will try to explain thoroughly how to get to Aberdeen from Edinburgh Airport, as it can be slightly complicated. First of all, U have to book (oh, in the UK you usually buy when U book ) a bus ticket here http://uk.megabus.com. You just have to select number of passengers, travel locations and dates. Afterwards, you ought to pay with a credit/debit card and remember-print or write down your reservation number as U will have to show it to driver:)

The North Sea

U will have some changes, but do not worry, as U can check a plan of your journey if you press "view"-as far as I remember, it is located next to prices of tickets. I can explain my journey in Polish (I sent that message to my Polish friend):

To jest tak: wysiadasz na lotnisku, pytasz sie gdzie sa przystanki autobusowe. Bede przy wyjsciu (doslownie), idziesz i szukasz MEGABUS (bedzie takie logo, wiec poznasz). Sprawdzasz, kiedy masz Stagecoach 747 (wtedy co na bilecie, ale lepiej wiedziec;p;p;p i wydrukuj sobie te rezerwacje). Czekasz hahaha. Wsiadasz do autobusu i pokazujesz kierwcy i to bedzie takk po 20 minutach przystanek na takiej zajezdni (i to jest chyba ostatni przystanek tego autobusu)-nazywa sie on "FERRYTOLL PARK AND RIDE", tam czekasz na dwupietrowego megabusa. To jest taka stacja, wiec mozesz spytac pracownikow, kiedy podjedzie (zreszta i tak masz to napisane na bilecie). Wsiadasz i pytasz kierowcy, gdzie bedzie przesiadka (tez masz to napisane na bilecie). W trakcie przesiadki bierzesz bagaz i idziesz do innego autobusu (zwykle od razu stoi obok, wiec nie trzeba czekac i tylko bagaz wziac):)P:):) Potem bedziesz miec jakies przesiadki./ Ja mialem 2: w Perth i Dundee.

So do not worry and enjoy your journey:) as Scotland is beautiful

"Father, Father, Father help us! Send some guidance from above..."

Recently I have been extremely fed up with the bad news that are conveyed every minute by all media. Why don't anyone inform us about good things that occur every day? Simply because they are not attractive enough. People just prefer being overwhelmed with bad news. It is appalling, isnt' it?

Why is that? Maybe we love traumas. Maybe we love disasters. Maybe we love fake sympathy....

I can't understand why people are jealous of someone else's success.
I always wish others luck, since I belive that everybody deserves happiness:)

Every day I read magazines, watch TV, browse the Net, observe individuals... and see that many people are happy when others fail! Is it really so hard to accept someone else's success? Why do we always want to be the best?

Is it because of the media? Or maybe it is just our nature?

I don't know that. Yet I know that I do not wanna be a part of this system!

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma.

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah.

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach.

feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria.

Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under.

Learning a foreign language

I wish I could speak with a British accent-it is so brilliant, so unique, so bloody awesome:)

Learning English may be a daunting experience in the beginning. But also a very exciting experience:) Step by step you build up your volabulary and realize that Grammar is not so complex. Then, you reckon that it is not complex at all...not even a little bit:) The more you know, the more confident you become...

Best advice: Do not be scared of speaking. Communication is of a prime importance! I know people who are brilliant at Grammar and do not want to speak, as they are terrified of making mistakes... Generally speaking, we are just fallible human beings and we just do make errors! No one is flawless-even language teachers. Frankly speaking, some native speakers are worse than non-native speakers.

As far as I am concerned, I have got my favourite Grammar Book. I may recommend: "Grammarway 4"-thousands of clear examples and interesting exercises.

Good vocabulary builder: Mariusz Misztal "Tests in English-thematic vocabulary"- maybe it is slightly challenging and quite advanced but it is worth trying:)

Best English magazines: "English Matters"-it is full of particularly interesting articles concerning different walks of life. And the second place goes to..."Business English Magazine"-brilliant business articles and MP3 versions of them.

Take advantage of plethora of modern means of communication-English blogs, websites, movies (you may watch movies in English if you have Foxlife. You just have to change language settings using your TV remote control:) I enjoy watching "Got to dance"-oh, clear British accent is awesome, "X-factor USA"-American English is so simple:)

Furthermore, you may watch BBC if you have a decoder-CYFRA Plus or CYFROWY Polsat. If you don't have one, you can also listen to online BBC Radio BBC Radio News.

Maybe you like Business Reports:) BBC Business Reports.

Still, you have problems with listening? Don't worry! I recommend watching funny English movies, such as: the Simpsons (watch it online or on FOX and have fun):)

If your English is a bit rusty, do not worry. It is never to late. Just make your foreign language not so foreign. When you are surrounded by English, it becomes a part of you. Join English conversation classes conducted by native-speakers-a wonderful experience:) In conclusion, do not learn from one source. And do not even try to translate everything into Polish!

Examples, examples, practise, practise, practise... You must repeat new words. Make simple sentences using new vocabulary and repeat every day:) If you want to speak English fluently you really need to know a bit of Grammar! Learn from examples. When you get to know a new structure, you may feel quite bewildered! Don't worry! Learn from your own simple sentences. For instance, my hands-on-experience with "but for" (Gdyby nie). I just learned one easy sentence: "But for your hepl/involvement, it would have collapsed then/we wouldn't be here now" and I alway thing about this easy sentence when I want to use this elaborate structure or Second/Third Conditional:)

To conclude, never give up in the middle of your way! Do not be scared! Just try to live your own British life:)

New Year and old memories:)

New Year's Eve Party is over... 2011 has gone with the wind and will never come back. My New Year's provisions? I wanna keep you updated with my adventure with UCAS and British higher education system.

Some people say that 1 January is the best time for changes-man can start everything from scratch... However, I think that every day is good for changes... For example, my mum tried to lose weigh many times. Unfortunately, without effects:( One day, she said: "It is high time I really faced my problem. I go on a diet." Afterwards, she lost more than 20 kilograms!

I heard about people who started their higher education at the age of 60. In conclusion, it is never to late! I always try to use each chance I am given. You never know where different things may lead you:) For instance, thanks to Theatre Knowledge competition, I had been to Greece and met marvelous people who are my acquaintances know (I do not mean Facebook but real fellows). Moreover, I completed upper-intermediate course at the biggest language school in Poland-this was the most brilliant year of my life. I will never forget my first journey to Kraków (on my own). I was looking at the map as if it had been the Bible:):) Thanks to previously mentioned contest, I met native-speakers from Great Britain who influenced my decisions about studies. Furthermore, I met my course-mates, outstanding people. Three of them worked at Jagiellonian University-two Chemistry lectures (women) and one Law lecture (also a woman). I must mention Darek-he worked for IKEA and was always absent, because he participated in international conferences of the company. I even had a spokeswoman of "Cracovia" (football team)-she also worked in TV...You probably know these dull "TV supermarkets" such as Mango... so she used to work there:)
As far as I am concerned, I do not want to change myself! No makeovers (I am thinking about glasses instead of contact lenses, but isn't a big change). If people accepted their flaws and appreciated their merits, they wouldn't have any complexes.

My tip: do not care about other people' opinions and just be yourself. Everybody has heard at least one malicious feedback in their life. I do not care, because I love my life:)



To complete, I want to post a comment which I found on YouTube. It concerned Adel.

Calling her FAKE won't make you REAL

Calling her DUMB won't make you SMART

Calling her WEAK won't make you STRONG

Calling her UGLY won't make you BEAUTIFUL

Calling her MEAN won't make you NICE

Calling her FAT won't make you SKINNY

Calling her RUDE won't make you POLITE

So why bother? She is a true inspiration for people who think they can't follow their dream! All the haters should just Be quiet! THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE! Post To Any Of Your Favorite songs from Adele

So, here is my wish for you: Just follow your dreams!

Summary of the year 2011

Big preparations for the New Year's Eve party have just started. I have little time, but I need to sum the outgoing year. First and foremost, it was the most significant year in my life, as I decided to apply for M$M course in the UK. During my winter vacation I thought: "Studying abroad must be a wonderful experience... It is such a pity that I don't attend bilingual high school and cannot take IB."

However, I decided to read some blogs about studying abroad (not only in the UK) and I found out that the Polish do not have to take IB to study abroad. To my surprise, process of application turned out to be completely different from the Polish one. In my humble opinions, polish universities are a complete disaster (sorry, it is my subjective opinion!). On the whole, professors treat their students like lifeless objects. They are not interested in their opinions, because the "do not have enough time" or they "have to follow university syllabus". Lord, what if I don't want to learn this module now and want to put it off? What if I want to deepen my knowledge in the module which is not a part of any syllabus? Have I any options? I may predict the answer: "I just teach here":(

Yes, Having come to that realisation, I decided to do my best to be accepted by a good British university. It was a brilliant year-I focused entirely on my interests. As a result, History is not my Matura subject. To be frank, I have never liked learning History. Obviously, I am not indifferent to our history, and I even love reading about people who changed the world. Thanks to my grandmother, I become curious about II World War. However, I hate the way this subject is taught at my school. It a nightmare-once I almost died of boredom! Everything must be learned by heart. I mean, no interesting examples and no curiosities. Aweful:(
Well, my baccalaureate subjects are: Geography, English, Civic Education, Maths (basic level), Polish (basic level). I am happy with my choice. At least, I do not have to learn things that are so tedious (to me) that I want to go to sleep:) Unfortunately, taking 3 subjects at advanced level equals lack of time. But, I decided to combine pleasant with the useful. I learn new vocabulary by reading extremely interesting English magazines and, of course, by writing my blog;p;p;p

Oh, I have almost forgot that I am already mature-officially. It was a year full of birthday parties-very hectic. As far as I am concerned, my birthday party was the best of all, but it is not objective, of course:)

I am convinced that 2011 completely changed my life. In many aspects. Obviously, decision about my studies was the most important one. I hope that the forthcoming year will be wonderful-I hope that all my wishes will come true.

To sum up, I do not regret anything, because "it is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all":)

Inspiring blogs, websites magazines etc.

Have you ever been in awe while reading an article or a great book. I am certain you have. What do I do in my spare time? Hmmm... Let me thing... thousands of things. I never let myself waste my precious time. Yeah, I am convinced that life is a gift which should be fully used. Maybe I am too immodest, but I consider myself to be a very open-minded young man. I have dozens of passions and I always suffer from a lack of time:( But I love the way I am and I wouldn't like to be anyone else. To be frank, I tried once and I failed. I cannot pretend that I am a daredevil or a strongman:) I am just a normal boy with merits and flaws...

I mentioned that I love broadening my mind. I reckon that we shouldn't be concentrated only on one thing. Guys, the world is so diverse-full of colours. I know, I know... everybody wants to be a master in their own field. However, a good lawyer can be a wonderful cook, right?

I want to be creative and develop various skills: mathematical skills, writing skills, logical reasoning skills... I want to be curious about the world:) Because I am a human being and we have been nosy for 4 millions years:)

Here I want to present a list of blocks which inspired me to start writing my own blog.

Hello world!

Hello world, I am David from Poland and my aim is to help all foreign students applying for undergraduate courses in the UK.

To be honest, English has always been the biggest love of mine. Everything started in 2009, when I enrolled on an English course organized by Krakow Empik Language School. To sum up, It was the most beautiful time in my life. Not only did I meet numerous outstanding people, but I also fell in love with the British culture. Who inspired me? Who changed my attitude to life? It was a short, middle-aged, black woman... Sophia-my teacher, native speaker of English, but also the most cheerful person I have ever met in my life. Thanks to her, I realised that learning English can be a real fun. She told us: forget about the Grammar-it doesn't really matter-I want to know who you are, who you love and who loves you... Oh maybe I am too much inquisitive but you have to speak-so do not be scared and keep talking:).

I set up my blog to help those who want to change their lives and make their dreams come true:) So if you are thinking about studying in Great Britain, my blog might be very useful to you.

I know how stressful a UCAS process of application may be. That is why I decided to explain everything thoroughly. I have a lot of practical hints which may make you stand out from the crowd...

I have recently read an inspiring cliché: "It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all..." I had to mention it... I hope it will support you through the UCAS application process :)
