My professional dream is now reality! - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Fomalhaut · 07-23-2009, 03:27 PM

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.

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!

Wow, that's great news, Fomalhaut! Congrats!

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

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

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!

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
