friends

Friends occupy significant parts of our lives and they have crucial function in our decision-making process. You can trust your friends and you rely on their support and advices. A good friend is able to make your life better. That's why it's very heartbreaking when you disappoint them.

I have or maybe I used to have a very good friend. We went to the same secondary school, we were classmates and we have been roommates in a dorm for 4 years. I thought she's my best friend. After secondary school, we were of the same opinion that we want to keep in touch with each other forever. But she didn't comply with her promise.

In the summer, I invited her and she took some days with me. I tried to organize exciting programs for her, I made her favourite meal, so I think I did my best. But she didn't invite me. I wasn't surprised because I knew she had to work hard and it was at the end of August. Since she haven't called me or written to me.
I have had attempts to contact her, I wrote several e-mails but she didn't answer. Once I called her and she said she was very tired and busy these days.
But I can't believe her. I can't believe that anybody doesn't have 5 minutes for her alleged 'best friend'. Sometimes I feel I'm an idiot because I always write letters to her in which I share my experiences and feelings with her. But I feel disappointment.
I've never thought that she's able to cease to be my friend.

H.R.

Now I'm sitting on the train on my way back to Pécs. The weekend is over.
When I got on the train, I didn't feel like travelling back. Just because of the inconvenience of the journey. I can't get used to this. I can't get used to the conditions of the trains, the intolerable journey time. I live 120 km far from Pécs. I think, it's not a big distance. I mean, trains take it about 30 minutes abroad. But, unfortunately, I don't live out of the country. This is Hungary. It takes almost 3 hours to take this ridiculous interval. It was shorter even 50 years ago. Our trains have seen better days and our fantastic railway system retrograte rapidly.

So, I didn't hope anything good concerning my trip. I was in right. Sometimes you're frozen to death on the train and sometimes there isn't lighting.
Yes, it's true. Now, I spend my time in total darkness. These sentences are only in my mind because I can't write them down. The conductor is running up and down holding a small torch and he tries to repair the system. After an hour darkness, he announces he can't solve this problem that is to say, we have to continue our voyage in perfect blackness.
It's unbelievable that such a problem can happen nowadays, but it's true. This is the 21st century Hungarian Railways!
See for yourself!

sorry

Hi everybody!

Unfortunately, I have deleted a comment from my blog and I can't fix it. But I will do my best to do it.
So, again, sorry!

experiences

I've always known that choosing or finding a convenient place to live is not easy. But so much?!

My university life has started in August when I realized I hadn't got a dorm place.
So I started to find a suitable sublet, you know, which is close to the university, cheap, friendly, well-equipped and so on. But I had to wake up from this dream soon because in the middle of August it was impossible to find such a dig or even a dig. After 2 weeks attempt, I got a letter which let me know I had a chance to get into the dorm after all. I tried it.
But you can imagine my story doesn't end with it. I was rejected.

So, I had to continue looking for a flat. It was only 3 (!!!) days before the beginning of the school.
Finally, I have found a correct flat. It almost met with my requirements. It wasn't cheap or close to the university, but it looked good it was equipped at least. When I went to see it, an amiable and friendly girl opened the front door. I decided to move in.
I shouldn't have done it. After only one week, I got to know the girl. She didn't attend her classes, she was an alcoholic (I don't want to hurt anyone's feeling about being a drinker because I don't care until I have to live together with her, but she was serious) at the age of 20. She didn't do anything all day except drinking, playing on the computer and sleeping. If it wouln't be enough, she always came to my room, used my stuff and she hadn't got any topics to speak about but drinks.
I have spent 2 months there that I have spent looking for another flat. When I've gave it up, my phone rang. I was informed that I could move into Jakabhegyi Dorm. I have to confess, I didn't know what to do. Because I haven't heard good news about university dorms. But after 2 weeks thinking, I moved in.

My first week there was interesting and extremely fatiguing. On Wednesday (which is a party day such as Monday or Tuesday) one of my roommate went to a party with her friend. We agreed that her friend could sleep in our room because she couldn't go home. But in the night, they came back with 2 boys who were extremely rude and loud. When I woke up from my most beautiful and opened my eyes, another pair of eyes looked into mine. I was shocked. And he friendly asked me what I was doing. Jeez! What else at 5 a.m.?
So, I have experiences about both way of living. I don't want to say that I am an unlucky person, because I always meet weird people.
My life isn't boring at least!:)

seasons

The life settle into the rut slowly.
I go to my room with the memory of the last summer I left behind because the weather is chilly outside.
I change my ice tea to hot chocolate, my casual sandals to my boots, my sunbed to my favourite armchair.
The season is undoubtedly autumn, slowly winter.
The school has started and people live their everyday lives. Most people who come in front of me in the street seem moldy and depressed. Nobody smiles at me. And that makes me melancholy too.

The hot summer is only a memory at the moment. I envy myself! What excellent and wonderful life was that! I wasn't hustled, I had a plenty of time, I could relax and swim the near lake. I didn't have to go to a swimming pool if I wanted to swim like now. I could allow myself to just lie under the beach umbrella and read my favourite book or magazine.
Wait! I have an idea! I put on my warmest sweater, I grab my favourite book and I sit my beach umbrella in the terrace.
I feel it's summer again!
