Busy weekend, tough week to come
Oh yes, I've been a bad girl and I missed Thursday's training. Now, judge me and whip me! :-)
I was so dead tired after Wednesday night's dinner and I had a hard weekend ahead of me, so I decided to go home after work and sleep.
On Friday I went to theatre after work and got home pretty early, at 22.00 pm.
Today I had to go to work again - only 6 hours tho. This overtime period started up at Summer University, so it means that I might have to work 12 hours every other day. Plus 8 hours the other days when I have either training or Japanese class afterwards. Plus working on weekends. And it will go on like this probably until the end of July.
It's good because I am paid extra money for this, which I really need now, but in the same time it's hard cos I will burn out by the end of July.
There is a big chance for that a living zombie will fall in the Hombu Dojo in Japan on the first week of August, instead of a fresh, young, enthusiastic Hungarian girl. Anyway, what will be, will be, as the song says. I really can't complain.
I got the loan from the bank, and also my travel agent found a relatively cheap ticket for KLM for which I have to pay by Tuesday morning, otherwise the system is deleting my booking.
I am a bit nervous tho, as the money still did not arrive to my account and if it will not be here by Monday, I'll loose the ticket and I might not find another one under 300.000,- HUF, which for me is a psychological boundary for a ticket. I still keep hoping for the best.
My entrance examination is on Tuesday, so I'll take a day off. If you could maybe send some positive thoughts and energy to me.... I am not too good at tests and I might fail the whole thing on this one.
The test will have 15 questions and based on the mandatory reading which is a middle size book, full of sanskrit and pali words. I have no idea what it will be like, but if they will ask about names or numbers - that will be the end of my application process.
Then I'll have pull a subject and will have 30 minutes to write a one page long essay on that. It is to check how much the applicant is familiar with buddhism. It is like "What would Buddha think about abortion", and such. I am not afraid of this part at all.
And then comes the oral part :-))) hehe :-)) no not *that* (hopefully), just a free conversation with some of the faculty. It is for them to see what my motivation is, how much I am familiar with philosophy and religion. So... all in all, don't envy me.
Also I am writing a test-paper this week from Japanese, so I should prepare for that one as well.
And of course just to make sure I can't rest in peace :-D , a friend called me and asked if I could do a little performance next Saturday at a prominent wedding ceremony. I should say a few pieces of poetry and they would even pay for that. I told them that I can do it only if they let me know about their choice of poems by Monday noon the latest and only if those are not long poems, as this week I am way too busy with other things which require serious mental preparation. So we'll see if this extra performance for the weekend can be put together or not.
