New semester, new beginnings

The summer is about to come to an end and the fall semester is about to begin. With this semester, a lot of things are going to change and hence, it feels like another new beginning. So in this post, I'm going to write about things that will be different from the past for me. Things that are going to be new and my plans on bringing in new trends, habits and practices into my life.

Viszlát Kinizsi. Szia Oktagon (Goodbye Kinizsi, Hello Oktagon)

This semester, I'll be moving out of the student dorm that has been my home for the past year and move in to an apartment with a couple of friends from the University. This is THE biggest change that I've made in my life since moving to Budapest and I'm filled with mixed feelings about this change.

I can't stress enough how much I'll miss Kinizsi. Despite its many flaws (too many to count in 1 blog), it has been a memorable experience living here. I've made some amazing friends here and I'll miss seeing them around as often as I did over the last year. I'll miss spending time every evening with Lencsi, catching up on how our day was and how we're doing. I'll miss random dinners and weekend brunches with Natasha, the annoying Sri Lankan. I'll miss having Aneyas around when I need some food or some ingredients for cooking. I'll miss shopping for fresh fruits at the Central Market on Saturdays. I'll also miss eating Robbie's food whenever I'm too lazy to cook and flirting with Sára. These were some of the luxuries I enjoyed when I lived at the dorm and I'll miss all of these things once I move out.

I'll miss waking up to this view. I'll miss my room. #F705

That said, I'm excited to move to a new place as well. I'm going to have a massive white closet which I'm going to fill with my brand new fall collection. I'm going to have a kitchen where I can cook in peace. I'll have TV with cable to watch football on the weekends as I tweet about how my FPL team is doing. The main reason for moving is that I'll have my own private space and peace. For reasons I can't explain, I've reached this point in my life where I need to get in this zone which is just about me and I need to focus on myself and I've done it best in the past with isolating myself and this is the perfect opportunity for me to do so. In addition, the Indian grocery store, my favourite pub in Budapest and my favourite burger joints are very close to my new place. So I have a feeling I'm going to settle in well at my new place

New workout schedule

Gym was closed for the summer. All the travelling and partying didn't help either. So it's time to get back in those gym shorts and sweat it out. I'm going to try and follow the following workout regimen:

1. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday - Gym
2. Tuesday, Friday - Football
3. Saturday, Sunday - Running

This is going to be the perfect mix of cardio, sport and weights training if I'm able to keep it up along with studies, work and TA work (and partying). 

Try Fiction writing 

I'm planning to experiment with my writing style. I've mainly written about personal experiences till now and I want to try fiction writing a bit. I'll probably be the first to admit that I'm the least creative person I've ever known and as of this moment, I don't have a single idea that I can possibly turn into a piece of fiction. So yea, I have absolutely no idea how it's going to turn out. I'll start by trying to write a couple of short stories on the blog and see how it goes. I'll apologise in advance if it turns out to be terrible.
