I think it's time to start a new post. I couldn't get closer to Australia, although I feel that I should write a summary post. We had an appointment with the jeweler last week. Gabi has enough old gold jewels so we only have to pay for the work and the diamond.
I always knew that waiting is not my stronghold. I like to get everything immediately or at least very soon. Probably that is the reason why am I passing through like this in this situation. But there is a little voice in my head who is telling me continuously: calm down, relax, easy does it man!
Unfortunately as I said earlier I have to sell my car in order to apply for a visa. But of course it is not the easiest thing to do nowadays. I think I don't have to talk about this too much, because everyone knows that it is very hard to sell things lately (especially for good price). Of course it doesn't mean I sit at home and do nothing. I've got lot to do while I'm waiting. I must collect as much information I can, be update. Migration (especially recently) changes very often. New regulations are made, and old ones are deleted. The ASCO system will change next year, and it become different. I don't know exact information about this, but at least it is became public information.
My biggest dilemma at the moment is to pass on the IELTS test. I would like to take the exam, but I'm not sure if it worth it or not?! Even if the school demands at least 5.5 average score (but I think the minimum is 6.0 now as well as at the migration, but it's not official), however they usually don't ask for the IELTS qualification if the applicant writes an English test before enrollment. The applicant's English skill level can be determinated on the score of the test. If not good enough he or she must take an English course for a few weeks before the main course. And if the person passes the exam there is no need for additional English course.
I don't want not to do the exam because I don't have to, or because I think I'm too good for that. The reason is simple: The IELTS exam valid for 2 year and after that I have to renew it anyway because of the migration process. But I might be more relaxed if I fly to Australia with an IELTS pass in my hand. But it costs 44.000Ft (approx. EUR 150) each exam. However the overall costs are much higher than this, but still 150 EUR is 150 EUR!
I'm still learning English with my teacher, and every time I have some free time (even at work :D) I study, study!!
I really hard for me to wait and be patient. I'm always worrying! Mostly on two-three basic things, but these things are the keystones of our trip. And I must solve these problems especially we are unable to move until the problems still exist. Furthermore it isn't depends on me. Of course life goes on at home, we are planning the engagement party (with smaller and bigger quarrels), the exam time is started, so Gabi had to start learning very hard. I was a little bit envy one of my friend, because he just left to the USA. It is not the first time he went to the USA and he hopes he don't have to come back. I hope he will be ok, and he reaches his goals. I know it is not Australia, but the USA also good. In the very beginning I was planning to go to the USA, but luckily I found Australia which is 1000 times better place to be. It tried to hide on the Southern Hemisphere! :D I hope something will happen soon, and I will write again!
