After high school she decided not to go on studying, although she was one of the best students in the school, really talented and learns very easily. First she travelled with her boyfriend (a very dubious figure
), basically disappeared from my sight for more than a year. Oh, it was so terrible - not because of me, but my ex-husband. Then she came back and went to a vocational school learning wood carving, while working as a waitress and other odd jobs. One winter she was standing on the street all day inviting tourists into a restaurant.
But at least I coud see her. And she started teaching English to private students. I think I told you last summer that finally she applied, and was accepted at a university - the best one in Hungary, for learning ethnography, and for the program that is state subsidized, so no tuition fees.
Now she has finished her first term. She works three nights a week and weekends at a hostel, has private students in the afternoons, and goes to university - so she is very busy and tired. But she got 5-s (the best marks) in all her classes and exams!!!!
She has also found an area that she finds interesting, so she wants to specialize in cultural anthropology, and she is very excited about it. She had some problems with me being ill, she explained to me that she would need me to be the strong mother she always had, and even argued with me for not being strong. We talked a lot, and now she understands, and helps me a lot, calls, visits me, we do things together (mostly cook and bake - she wants to learn
) so I am really, really happy about her.This is her making meat-balls before Christmas
to the both of you.
