My professional dream is now reality!
 
I'm so happy. I know it's the middle of summer and I shouldn't be thinking about studying and University, but I just received the confirmation. The proof that spending the last 4 months of the last semester studying like mad with almost no breaks, writing a professional thesis of Librarianship, learning by heart 20 different subjects of 20 pages each, and sitting on a nerve-wrecking exam (both written and oral) of simultaneous translation between three languages wasn't a waste of my time.

I have a B+ diploma of Librarianship and Book History now, but, most important of all, I gained admission to Hungary's most prestigious professional translators' and interpreters' Master course (Hungarian - English - French + Italian as an extra language for me). I'm happy, that's the first step on achieving my ultimate dream to become a writer (which I already am, in a certain sense, but my English needs polishing) and translator. ;D

Congratulations, it's a great feeling when all of that hard work pays off big time. :)

Sweet. I'm always glad when someone gets to do what they want in life. ;)

Your English needs polishing? That's news to me, as I always find your posts very thorough and perfect. :)

Big congratulations are in order, Fomal! :yeah:

Congratulations, Fomalhaut, hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly. I'm sure it will. :D

CONGRATULATIONS!!! ;D :terrsmile:

Stars know you've earned this, what with the last few months being so torturous. I knew you could do it; I'm really, really happy that all the hard work finally paid off. Well done! ;D

Hey, congratulations! :up:

Woohoo! Librarians Unite!!

I have been working as a librarian for two years, but I had to quit due to school back then :p

Congratulations and Good luck to you!!!

My posts might be so, but in my fanfics there are quite a few sentences which sound a bit unnatural and forced.

The fanfic is a peculiar genre altogether. It always seems a little odd just transferring a TV show into a short story. Yours were pretty good I seem to recall.

Anyway congrats! Librarys are my favourite places. There is no civilisation without them and as for being an interpreter or translator, well that's just a fantastic thing to be. What a lovely thing to help people comminicate with each other.

Thank you all for the congrats and support. I wouldn't have made it without this forum; I owe a lot of my English knowledge to Never Forgotten and Foster's :)

Cassini90125 08-08-2009 12:36 PM

Obviously you've stayed away from the BFAHP section, then. :lol:

Sorry, just had to say that. 8D

Again, my heartiest congratulations to you. :frankiesmile:
