Slow day was slow. Got one response by the end of the day, and I was unbelievably excited. After that, I went to the bank and settled the issues I ran into, and it was far easier than I had suspected, which was awesome. Then I went home, and drew. I actually finished two simple drawings, which I was very happy with myself for! :D Simple, to the point, but hey, they're drawings, and I'm working on my art a bit more. Also wrote another story. Poland is quite a phenomenal inspiration, I'd have to say. xD It's keeping me active creatively! Now a few topics I've been thinking about... So when I was growing up, I noticed how my mom had these two circular, indention scars on her upper arm (I think it was right, not certain though). She said that it was part of an old vaccination Poland used to give (if I remember correctly). Well, I'm still seeing it on lots of people here, and that includes the younger people! So I honestly have no clue what vaccination or shot is required, but I've also only noticed it on women... Quite intriguing, I'd say. I also don't want to know what kind of shot or vaccination is required that essentially leaves a life-long scar on her arm... It mustn't be pleasant, that's for sure.
Speaking of younger people, though, I read somewhere that Poland is one of the "youngest" countries in Europe, meaning that about 50% of its population is under the age of 35, guys. That's right. Half of about 38 million people are under the age of 35. And actually, you can really see that. Most of my work place is young, you see young mothers everywhere with their children, and most of the people I see are younger. And it's really weird to think I'm closer to the age of those mothers now than ever before, and that if you look at me, minus height, I look like I'm that age. And I've seen a ton of pregnant ladies walking around. I'm pretty sure I've seen more pregnant women out and about here than I have ever in the US, no joke. But then you reach the other end of the population, the elderly, and I've seen so many of them walking around, using the public transport. Today, I watched one man crossing the street, walking how I do whenever I've walked too much, and yet, that's really their old choice of getting around, as far as I know. That's sort of intimidating, considering I know one day my "I've-killed-my-legs" walk will become my day-to-day walk. But they manage on their own, often enough, and that in itself is also admirable. Very stubborn and independent people, we Poles are. Besides that, the elderly often have these little rolling bags. I've seen a lot of people using them, and it makes sense. They don't have to strain their arms and back in carrying a ton of weight in a bag, like groceries, and instead can wheel it around with them and eventually just pick it up to take it on the trams or buses. I've never seen it before this year, either, at least that I've noticed, so I'd say that's an interesting new option.
Now, moving onto today. Work is still slow, and I'm doing whatever I want, really. Writing up some challenge entries, checking out Facebook and my emails to see if anyone is corresponding with me. However, I have plans for tonight. Tonight, I am going home to get all dressed up and go out to town and see what the night life is like. ... This should be quite the interesting experience, as I don't even really do this at home. So I hope it goes well. Heck, maybe I might find some people to hang out with after work! ... Maybe. We'll see how that goes. But for now, I'll leave you guys with that! Enjoy your day, wherever you are!
