Happy New Year! Wow, it's incredible that it's 2009. 2008 was one of my best years, so I hope that this year will be similar, or even better. :D
When I'm writing this post I'm at the end of the Christmas holiday. I was waiting for this period because the last 3 months had been really hard for me. What I mostly like in Christmas is togetherness: each member of the family can feel love and harmony. I was glad spending more time with my brothers because they were busy in the rest of the year. We were talking a lot, watching films and decorated the tree... So, sometimes it's good being home with whom we love...:)

The greatest week
This week has been the best since September. There have happened so many events that changed my life.
The greatest news is that I can continue my further studies in Pécs, because the accreditation of the Italian MA was successful. This means that I don't have to move to another city. Well, getting to know a different town, a different uni wouldn't be bad, but it would take me a lot of time to integrate into a new community. To tell the truth, it took me a little more than a year to feel that I am home in Pécs.
The other good event was that I could talk to my consultant. The topic that I have chosen (The conception of the night in the era of Ugo Foscolo) is unique because there are no thesis that deal with this issue. So, it seems that I'll be the first who writes about this. My teacher gave me some guiding lines, which helped me a lot because I hadn't known how to start my writing.
The third thing that was enjoyable in this week was going to the cinema with my friend. The film (Mamma mia) was extremely good: I liked the story, the scenes, the plays of the actors/actresses and the songs, of course. This film made me happy and was a good one for entertainment.
And finally....I will live in the Balassa Dormitory again! The whole procedure was adventurous, but it was worth. It will be cheaper, I will have a stable Internet, I will see my friends again and the circumstances for studying will be more sufficient.
So, I'm very happy now and I feel that I'm in the right place again! :)

Changes
It's October! So soon, I just cannot really believe it! I'm over September.
The first month of this school year was quite interesting for me. I had to get used to several things.
First, I'm living in a flat (instead of the dorm, which makes me sad). It's very close to the uni, so I don't have to get up so early to arrive at my lessons. Due to this fact I can save a lot of time and I don't have to be in a hurry all the time.
Secondly, my flatmates are very kind students, I can easily get on well with them. Although they have a little bit different lifestyle than me, but we can tolerate each other. :)
Thirdly, as this is my third academic year, I have to write my BA thesis in Italian. Well, it makes me a headache. The length should be around 20 pages. As for the topic, I'm in trouble. I would like to write about literature, more precisely about Ugo Foscolo compared with other authors in his era. This sound well, but it's not narrow and precise for a thesis. So I have to consult with my teachers.
Fourthly, I have to learn how to control the time in order to have enough of it for everything: for efficient studying, for friends, for having a rest and for pleasure. It means a really big challenge for me, but I'll try to do my best, of course. ;)
See you soon!

August...
Sorry that I haven't written so far but I had a lot of things to do.
First, I was working at a local hotel, called Nereus. It's a 3-star building right next to the coast of the Balaton. I was working as a waitress in August. This work was very interesting because it was completely different from all the works I had done before and I could get to know how a restaurant functions. Basically I had to bring the prepared food to the giuests, but I had other exercises as well. I had to clean the rooms of the restaurant, clean the spoons, knives and forks, plus help the people with the most relevant pieces of information. At the first teading, it might sound as if it was an easy job. Actually it wasn't. I had to be standing all day long or be in movement, so I could sit down only when I was eating. I was working almost every day 8-10 hours each day, so it has became fatiguing by the end of the month. All in all, I enjoyed this period because I could get to know a lot of people, I could eat delicious food and I can work there next summer, too. :)
Secondly, I had to find a flat for the schoolyear because I was rejected from the dormitories where I had applied. :( Fortunately I could find the best flat for me: its prise is not so high and it's very close to everything that is important for me: the uni and my friends :D
Thirdly, I had to compose my brand new order of courses. I will have very good lectures: Italian art history, Italian-Hungarian translation, Romanistics, etc...but the most important for me: FINALLY I CAN STUDY FRENCH! :) I have wanted to do this for 10 years and now I can. :D
So this month was a bit tiring for me but it was full of good news. :)

Holiday
Summer and vacation. These two go together for me. But as for vacation, a question could be raised: where could it be spent? Well, there are two options: staying in Hungary or travelling to abroad to discover new countries.
During the last week I did the second thing. As my major is Italian me and my family chose Italy, more precisely the town of Bibione. It is a relatively small place with 8000 inhabitants in the seaside of the Adriatic sea. This town is ideal for relaxing: lying on the sandy beach and having bath in the sea.
Actually we wanted to have a rest and get rid of the stress (for a while), so we spent almost every day on the beach. :D The weather was fine: the sun was shining all days, the temperature was above 35 degrees and there was a little wind, too.
Besides having rest, we made an excursion to Venice. That city is marvellous! It is one of my favourite places in the world because of its atmosphere and its unique feature: it is built on the water. When we visited the city it was under
renovation so we couldn't see its beauties in the whole. Because this was the first time for my family being in Venice, we made a small circle with a gondola. The whole thing was incredible for us! The boat was navigated throughout small lagoons, moreover we could observe all the famous venetian buildings from the gondola: the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of the Sighs and the ancient prisons.
This vacation has been the best so far because everything was ideal to make it perfect. If someone is planning his/her holiday, I can recommend these places for having a fantastic holiday.

Time to say goodbye...
This time has come. My last school week in Pécs. To tell the truth, this week was one
of the best in my life. I enjoyed some freedom: I could do whatever I wanted.
On Wednesday me and my roommate planned to make an excursion. We went to the downtown of Pécs on foot. The weather was really nice, just perfect for a trip. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the city: the magnificent buildings from the 19th century and the air filled with the smell of lime tree flowers.
On Thursday I went to a party. It was organised by my friend in order to celebrate her birthday and the successful passing of the exams. The band was completely new for me, because there were a lot of people whom I had never seen before. We were talking, playing cards and dancing. This event was entertaining and unforgettable.
On Friday I left the dormitory. Forever. :( Next year I cannot live there, because only medical s
tudents will be allowed because of the construction of the Szent Mór Dormitory. I regret it. This year was really good and everything that made me happy took place in the dorm. I got to know a different company, whom I can rely on any time. I'll keep in touch with them even if we won't see each other so frequently in the future.
While I travelled to home all the memorable events came into my mind (I wrote about some of them earlier). I hope I'll have similar ones next year if I can live in the Szántó Dormitory. :)
Bye then, Pécs! See you in September!

Finish - Part 2
It's incredible!!! I've finished with this extremely long exam period! I'm glad being over it because I thought it would last forever.
Anyway, I tried to do my best and I passed all the exams. I gained 55 credits all together, so I'm very tired now. I feel it's high time for a relaxing summer. :)
So I wish everyone an enjoyable and relaxing summer holiday. Enjoy it! :)
