BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS
It was going to be blood, sweat and tears. And it really is. Every year you sweat your guts out or sweat blood and every year you swear it's the last time you are burning the midnight oil before exams. But every year is alike. First, you work up no sweat and then you are in sweat about exams and stuff. But when you leave the exam room, you just go 'no sweat' to your friends sweating out in the hall.
glossaryOne cannot live by English alone. It's a good idea to take up new hobbies which lead to one's well-being and fulfillment, especially at the end of the semester. Opportunity knocks! Those of you who cherish physical, mental and spiritual health, want to increase the IQ level and spend time in the company of interesting people should instantly sign in for the drumming workshops.
One of the best drummers in Lublin, Łukasz Szulc, a member of Sambasim percussion band is running drumming sessions in Lublin. The workshop is held on 31 January at 6.00pm.
