The "March" of the time

March is the present. It's come along quickly, right? I can hardly follow the march of time. Unfortunately, I cannot feel it somehow. Although I've a lot of free time, I'm often late. It wasn't characteristic of me, by the way. Secondly, sometimes I've got difficulties in learning. To tell the truth this semester is stranger than the latest one. There much more to learn but there are less tests or oral presentations. One of our seminars is cancelled as usual. :-S etc. We need to engage another way of learning. We should learn more and differently. As for me, it takes more time to get used to it. I'm a person who intends to forget things easily. Moreover, if I can't feel the "taste of danger", I am at leisure. So these days went by learning hard... I need to catch up with myself.


However, I have good time at present. :) It’s Easter time, the family members are together, the Easter-ham is being boiled, my Mother is painting colourful eggs. I start my days with having huge breakfast, you know... The "usual routines". :) I also visit my Girlfriend every day, and prepare for the next week when Uni-life continues. Till then, Boys, Gentlemen, let's get armed to the teeth with cologne-water and bucket! This Monday calls us ;) :)

11 years, fixed memory




Last Monday... It happened last Monday... I got bus number 2, as I had a meeting at Café Sopianae. I met my mates there. Since September, 2007, I am a member of Aegee-Pécs, which is a European student's organization working for integration within European countries and their students and Universities. The leader of Aegee-Pécs congregated a meeting to discuss some items on the agenda. How to keep in touch with other 'Aegees' in the future, how to help each other, etc. We also managed to apply for a 4-day-long journey to Ljubljana, Slovenia as well.
The most essential event came after that. One of the new members, who were to introduce themselves at first, started to speak. After mentioning his name, I was sure that the guy standing next to me was one of my ex-classmates from the primary school. We hadn't met since 1997, when I and my family moved to Kaposvár from Siófok. We haven't met up till now!! He went on telling us further info about himself. I was just sitting and smiling. But after a few minutes I couldn't help asking him some questions. :) Firstly, I wanted to make sure that he was surely that person I thought. Well, he was.
Needless to say, after the little Aegee-conference, we went to drink a little bit celebrating our meeting after 11 years which passed. Although we haven't known anything about each other, almost everything came to our mind in that evening. Stories, funny events, friends, teachers, etc. How little is this country, isn't it? Well, this is the world we live in... ;)

Success?!

This Sunday was quite busy for me and 3 of my group mates. We had to show up in Budapest, in Hotel Hilton (next to WCC and Western Railway station). As you probably know, we'll spend almost 2 months in the US during the summer. After getting on the IC in the morning, we travelled 3 hours to get to the 'capital'. There was held a conference, where approximately 30 directors of different American summer camps appeared to enter in a contract with European applicants who wished to get summer job in the States.


Our small team arrived there with the same reason. Namely to choose the most suitable camp, which is perfect for a 2-month-stayingand having fun, of course. As we were so confused about this all event, it took relatively much time for us to get to Hilton (although it wasn't so far, but Budapest and its traffic are abject... And we weren't in the mood either ). Fortunately, we appeared in time. After checking in, and listening to a short speech of the CCUSA Counter Director, we got into another room when the show could start.


Within a minute, the whole place was overrun by hundreds of fresh applicants. Every stand had a young man/women talking with the camp directors. We started to look for the camp(s) we had decided to choose before. Making this long story short, Balázs and Me managed to come to an agreement with "N.o1" Camp. However, the girl members, namely Réka and Dóri would have like to apply for the same place, they were asked to choose another one, which is better for their skills. To my mind it's unfair. They weren't told the truth directly... :S


All in all, we had a partly successful day. The Girls got a similar job, not far from the Boys' target place. Having a rather exhausted day, we were really glad to hold the signed summer job contracts in our hands, and to say: "We've done it!" On the other hand, we would have been happier if all of us had got the same job at the same place. :( We did this all procedure Together, we should've been given the right to finish and enjoy it with each other. It's like teamwork, you know. But we have no time for being sad now, as we'll have chances to meet in the US, too, during our day-offs. We're supposed to ask for American visa as soon as possible. It's going to be the last big "mission" before living through The Best Summer In Our Life as the slogan says...
