12.12 in NYC waiting for the shuttle flying home from JFK

My week:
Monday - Call Walmart and told them I am going home on the next Saturday
Tuesday - Walmart called me with an official offer for the assistant store manager position
Wednesday - Booked ticket to fly home 10 days earlier leaving on Thursday
Thursday - 8AM - drug screen, i was scheduled to do the drug screen until 8AM not at 8AM, i was in the system at 7:56AM and of course passed the exam - at 1PM leaving Hamden and at 9PM bye-bye America, Hungary here I come

Friday - arrival at Budapest at 3:30PM
Saturday - traveling home by train with Flora and Tomi in top secret surprising my mom and dad

I was supposed to arrive on 23rd of December, no one expected me 10 days earlier:)
That was not my original plan either, but I figured why should I wait another 10 days for doing nothing here if i can spend this time with my family.
Getting the job from Walmart was a huge relief for me after attending four rounds of interviews and waiting over two months. But I got it eventually. Starting date is 1/06/14.

WOW! Welcome to HUNGARY!
What an incredible and exciting feeling to reunion with my beloved ones!
Hello Flora:)

11.25 - 12.01 - CFA Level I.

There were no photos taken for sure.

I was preparing Flora's present and started learning for my fish exam.
I got the 2014 CFA Access Scholarship that I applied for in March.
It means I can take the first exam for only $250 in 2014 instead of $1500. I am up for it.

11.18 - 11.24 - PMP

PMP exam on November 25th
Now i am certified.
Many thanks for Charles. Without his help it could not have happened. 


Purple soup made with black rice. Xiao was right. Don't use much black rice in a meal. (she said it is poisonous, i can tell you it was not, but it had a very interesting color) 50% of it is still in the fridge waiting for scarce times. Had a good taste though:)

This was the first item I bought in the USA in 2011 with Szasza at Walmart. 68 cents... and only lasted 2.5 years. 

My first cookies are being made with the help of Flora.

Getting there

ready with my specialty: rotini with sardines

men cooking
