The First Short Story of My Life: 'Passengers'

Hello My Little Reader,

I haven't seen you for ages! How do you do? (I read another version for this question; it's a more informal one, and I think it's quite nice.) 'What's cookin', My Dear?' 8-)

Fortunately, I have already finished all of my exams. The last one was on the 6th of January: That was the oral exam from 'Introduction to Literary and Cultural Studies'. I had to talk about the issues of the literary canon. It was a very good topic, and I read a lot about it, because I was interested in it, so I had a good conversation with my teacher, and I managed to answer his questions. That was my first oral exam in the University, and it's a very hopeful beginning.

Now, I have plenty of time, and I also have the fantastic opportunity to do NOTHING. OK, in fact I do several things: I spend most of my time with my 'Fellow' -his Family- and my Friends, I fulfil my creativity by painting and decorating objects with napkins, play my synthetizer, write, read what I want, take trips, and the list is neverending... I try to make the best use of my time, enjoy my Life, and it has a great effect: I'm as happy as a human being can be. I feel fantastic, sometimes I can even fly without wings, and I'm still The Luckiest Person In The Whole World. ;-) (I'm very proud of this 'title'.)

I even had time to take some photos too, while I was walking on the coast of Lake Balaton. Many of my groupmates asked me questions about the frozen Lake. Most of them have never seen Lake Balaton at December, and I would like to show them what it looks like. That's why you can find pictures of it in the slideshow. (There are two of a fountain in Jókai-Park as well. )

Once, I made a promise to myself and to my Friends, who can't speak English: I'll translate my first short story, the 'Passengers' for them. Now, I'll begin this project, in order to finish it within one week. It's a very rewarding task. If you would like to read the English version, you can easily do it: Just 'click' on the pdf. above, and download it.

It was an extraordinary post from me: nothing 'philosophica', just my everyday life. 8-) It seems, that I have a 'holiday' from this aspect too.

Have a Nice Day and Relax if you can!

All the Best,

Dóry 8-D, the Happiest Person In The World
