Applying for a Masters Degree

Lady from the admissions, whom I just spoke to on the phone, said that if I apply this year for a course and my application is successful I can ask for my entry to be deferred until the following year. That sounds like a perfect solution to me. Within a year I can easily save up enough money to pay the fees plus I would have time to explore the subject of Intercultural Communication more. Next step is to gather information about the course and set goals for the next few months.

Meanwhile the translation continues :) I'm determined to complete at least two translations in March for TED. One of them is on how to save money more effectively and the other is on "Digital Humanitarianism", whatever that means (I'm yet to listen to the talk). I'm quite pleased with the trnalsation of S.Iyengar's talk that I finished last week, let's see what the reviewer has to say about it.

Does anybody know a super quick way to learn a language? Namely Spanish. I need help.

Finally saving money!

I'm starting to save money. Not from tomorrow but from today, from now on! I'm going to call my bank in a minute to tell them to transfer £300 into my savings account each month. I've finally got out of debt, had some surplus money but completely lost my focus. In effect I've gotten into a crazy spiral of spending more and more money on crap, i.e. clothes, cosmetics, eating out. It got out of control to such extend that I was constantly thinking about what to buy next. I had to stop. A few hours ago I paid £100 to a charity which helps hungry children in Poland, I was going to spend that money on a new dress and shoes but f@%k that. No more self indulgence. I need to save, save, save. If I actually do that, I'm going to have enough money to start thinking seriously about going back to uni next year. WoooO HooO!
