Oh wow

So...I've not been on here in nearly three years. I wonder if any of my LJ-exclusive friends even remember me. I think of them constantly, and miss them terribly. Especially Aaron and Siv, who I've looked for everywhere else and can't find. *sigh*

I love you two.

I remember you.

Cofie, my love! How have you been? Are you still living in Hungary? <3

*happy dance*

[cofie]

Unfortunately I do and I will have to for a few more years unless I leave the university and never finish it.

I had my ups and downs but I'm generally okay, changing a bit personality wise I'm afraid, but I'm getting the hang of it.
Hungary's economy is getting worse almost with each passing day, the politicians suck out every cent from the poor and average people, so trust me, being here is crap and it's getting worse.

Otherwise I'm fine, I changed DA notes with Aaron a few weeks ago, so maybe if you try to connect him trough his DA you might be able to chat with him too. : )

I'm back in university, starting my Master's degree in English lit. I'll probably be in school forever, too. I can live with that, though. :)

I hate to hear that Hungary's so bad off these days. Most of the politicians here in the US suck, too. We JUST passed universal healthcare, which I'm excited about, but so many people here just start screaming about communism and fascism and other political boogeymen. It's sad. If you ever have the chance to visit the US, please let me know. I'd love to get together. And if we move to Finland (as we've been seriously pondering), I'll make sure we visit Hungary at some point. On a side note, I am still blown away by how awesome your English is. My smattering of Japanese and French is nothing in comparison.

I'll be sure to get on DA and see if I can't reach Aaron there. Thanks for the tip. <3

Yes I saw that universal healthcare passed out there, tell you the truth we have that here and almost always had ( we had communist government after the second world war) and I must say I was AMAZED thet US didn't had any universal healthcare. It's a good thing. Gives you a bit of reassurance that you will be taken care of in the hospital xD (our hospitals could be way better tough lol)
Finnland is pretty cool I heard, never been there ^^;
I personally rather move to the US. England is pretty filled already. France is also a good choice but I dislike the french language. too hard. :( Germany is also an option. :3

It's not terrible living here. I mean, if I'm going to be very honest, we have it better than many countries. I just get frustrated that every time we try to progress as a nation, idiots keep trying to drag us back. I'd settle for moving to a different state. Mine is in the south, which means I'm surrounded by racist uneducated people. I'd rather move north. :)
I'd love to do England (I'm going to try to study abroad sometime). France, I don't think I could do. I don't know much about Germany. My parents and younger sister were stationed there when my father was in the Army. I wasn't there, though. I'd love to go sometime!

Yes life is easier in the US. Much easier. If you can ignore the idiots then it is heaven seriously. I mean the salary is like 7 dollar minimum for an hour of work, here it is around 1,5 so... well you get the point. Also in the us the basic food things liek fluor and milk and bread are cheep. I could go on about the differences but i would never get to the end of my list why it is better to live out there. The only thing costy and horribly costy out there is teh education. here it is not that expensive and it had been free up until 2 years before so now i too have to pay for my studies which is really-really bad for me because I go to one of the most expensive universities in my country

What you should do is move out here when you finish school. We'll gladly sponsor you if we can, and you can get a job here (hopefully the economy will continue to recover). The minimum wage in my state is $7.25 an hour, and some states with higher cost of living have higher minimum wages. Now that we have universal healthcare, things should get even better. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Schooling here IS expensive. I'm lucky in that my school is a state one, so it's only $3500 per semester (roughly)--and I have an assistantship for grad school, so I won't have to pay tuition.

[cofie]

Well, as soon as I finish school I do plan to move. Thank you for the sponsoring offer, we will see what happens in two years time. If you guys stil live there and things go nicely for all of us I would use the offered oppurtunity. We will see. XD Optimisim is needed for life :D Yes I know that schooling in teh US is horrible expensive. :/ 3500 ugh. scary.
I really wish to move but I cannot do it yet. Also I1m lazy so I wish but I don1t do much to get closer to it. I do plan to go and get a higher language exam in english, because my vocabulary lacks a good few words so I ofter sounds raw if not all the time. :/ sigh.

My Italian language exam needs to be done too and I stil didn't start on my Russian so bah! And I1m pretty sure I'm forgetting all teh German Iever knew xD ahahhaha I need to learn so much and I don't do it. I really feel so stupid at these times! wah. okay lets not go into it.

Once again thank you so-so much for the offer! :3 -hugz and kisses-
