It's O.K. to shift tense to show that the actions happened at different times.
Different tense are used in writing because different tenses convey different meanings. Here is an example:
Yesterday was Wednesday so I went to the cinema. I always goto the cinema on Wednesday. When I waswaiting to buy my ticket I saw an old friend I hadn't seen for years.
was / went = past simple - shows an action that happened in the past now finished
go = present simple - shows an action that is a habit.
was waiting = past continuous - shows an action that contued for some time in the past
saw = past simple - shows an action that happened in the past, this is also during a longer action - was waiting
hadn't seen = negative past perfect - shows an action (see) not occurring befor this time.
Tenses can be switched in one sentence:

In this sentence the present verb go is used because this part of the sentence is talking about something the person does every week - a habit and present simple is used to talk about habits. The past verb went is used because the action is something that is in the past and completed.
