 Hi! This post was created to be a summary of the work I did with Laura, a girl whose philosophy essay I supervised. We discussed her chosen topic together (when does democracy lead to populism?), reflected on the arguments and talked about them. She later wrote the essay herself and sent parts of it to me, so I can give her some guidance on how to formulate thoughts or set the work's structure. I am really glad I got to work with her and feel like I learnt a lot about how to work with others via this experience. 

 

 

 

 Hi! Today our charity project had its grand finale as two girls from our group, Gabrysia and Martyna, went together with our coordinator to do the shopping and give the presenst to the kids from the Lublin Orphanage. During the whole event we managed to raise 720zł! From that money, we bought umbrellas and toys for the kids online and the girls did some grocery shopping, including cereal, juices, milk etc for the whole community living in the house. I am very sad I could not be there with them yet because of the covid-19 restrictions such situation was impossible. I am however really glad we managed to raise so much money and prepare beautiful presents for the children. This project not only taught me how to work in a group and organise an event, but also showed my how I can help others and how much we can do for each other. I am sure I’ll want to do something similar in the future. 

Hi! Today I went on another run as a part of my running tem training. This time I focused more on shorter distances combined with extercises and one slower, longer run at the end.   

 Hi! Today I took part in a lecture and discussion held as a part of Philosophy Day, organised by the University of Marie Curie-Skłodowska in Lublin. The lecture was about how does modern physic influence the philosophy of determinism, change the definition of truth and the boundaries of knowledge. The lecture was really interesting and I took some notes during it to study later. I also really enjoyed the discussion that took place after as I could listen to many fascinating ideas and thoughts.
