Man, what a day! Seriously, Rakamaz, you’ve outdone yourself. I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring day interpreting. Boy, was I wrong!
So, I’m chillin’ at home, right? Sippin’ my coffee, scrolling through my phone. I get a call. “Hey, can you interpret at the community center on Kossuth Street?” Sure, why not? I throw on my favorite hoodie and head out.
The streets are buzzing. Rakamaz is alive! I mean, you got people everywhere. Kids on bikes, old folks chatting on benches, and the smell of fresh lángos wafting through the air. I’m like, “Yesss, give me that fried goodness!” But no time for snacks. Gotta hustle.
I get to the community center, and it’s packed. Like, standing-room-only packed. I’m thinking, “What’s going on?” Turns out, they’re hosting a workshop for the deaf community. Awesome, right? But then I see the speaker. Ugh, this guy is a total bore. He’s droning on about something super technical. My brain’s already zoning out.
But then, outta nowhere, this lady in the front row starts signing. She’s passionate, like, really into it. I’m trying to keep up, but she’s fast! I’m sweating bullets, fingers flying. I’m like, “C’mon, brain, don’t fail me now!”
Suddenly, she drops a bomb. “I lost my job because of discrimination!” The room goes silent. I can feel the tension. My heart’s racing. I’m mad! Like, how can people be so cruel? Rakamaz is supposed to be better than this!
After the workshop, I’m outside on Széchenyi Street, trying to catch my breath. I see a group of teens laughing and taking selfies. They’re so carefree. I miss that. I wanna join them, but I’m too old for that nonsense, right?
Then, I get a text. “Emergency at the hospital!” What?! I sprint over to the Rakamaz Hospital. I’m thinking, “What now?” Turns out, they need an interpreter for a family meeting. I’m like, “Okay, let’s do this.”
I walk in, and it’s heavy. The family is distraught. I’m trying to be the calm in the storm. I sign, “Everything will be okay.” But inside, I’m freaking out. I can’t let them see me sweat.
After that, I’m exhausted. I grab a quick bite at a little place on Petőfi Street. The owner knows me. “You look like you need a break!” He hands me a free dessert. Bless him! I’m like, “You’re my hero!”
But then, I hear a commotion outside. A street performer is juggling fire! I’m like, “What the heck?!” I rush out, and it’s wild. People are cheering, and I’m just standing there, mouth agape. Rakamaz knows how to put on a show!
Finally, I head home. I’m beat. My brain’s fried, but my heart’s full. Rakamaz, you crazy city, you’ve got my back. I love the chaos, the people, the stories. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
