Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I wake up in Calafindesti, right? The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I had to rush to the community center on Strada Principală. I’m talking full-on sprint mode. I’m an interpreter, not a marathon runner! I get there, and guess what? The meeting’s already started. Ugh! I’m sweating like a pig, and everyone’s staring at me. Thanks, guys. Real supportive.
So, I jump in, and it’s all about some new accessibility laws. You know, super important stuff. But the vibe? Total chaos. People are shouting, signing over each other. I’m trying to keep up, but my brain’s like, “What’s happening?!” I mean, come on, can we not just chill for a sec?
Then, outta nowhere, this dude named Ion starts crying. Like, full-on sobbing. I’m standing there, trying to interpret his feelings, but I’m also like, “Dude, we’re in Calafindesti, not a soap opera!” But hey, I get it. Emotions run high, especially when you’re talking about rights and stuff.
After that, I needed a break. So, I hit up the little café on Strada Tineretului. Best coffee in town, no cap. I order my usual – a cappuccino with extra foam. I sit down, and this cute dog comes up to me. I’m like, “Aww, hey buddy!” But then it starts barking like it’s auditioning for a horror movie. I’m like, “Chill, bro! I’m not your enemy!”
Finally, I get my coffee, and it’s perfect. I take a sip, and boom! My phone buzzes. It’s my friend, Maria. She’s like, “Hey, wanna join the protest at the park?” I’m like, “Sure, why not? What’s life without a little chaos?”
So, I head over to Parcul Central. It’s packed! People everywhere, holding signs, chanting. I’m trying to interpret for a group of deaf folks, and it’s wild. I’m signing like my life depends on it. “We want rights! We want rights!” I’m feeling the energy, but also, I’m sweating buckets.
Then, this guy on a megaphone starts talking about how Calafindesti needs to step up for the community. And I’m like, “Yes! Preach!” But then he says something about how we need to “stop being lazy.” Excuse me? Lazy? I just ran across town! I’m not lazy; I’m just tired!
As the sun sets, the vibe shifts. People start singing. It’s beautiful, honestly. I’m standing there, feeling all the feels. I look around, and I see people from all walks of life coming together. It’s like, wow, this is Calafindesti. We’re a small town, but we’ve got heart.
But then, just when I think it’s winding down, someone throws a water balloon. Like, what? It splatters right next to me! I’m soaked! I’m laughing, but also kinda mad. Who does that?
Finally, I head home, exhausted but happy. I think about the day – the chaos, the emotions, the dog, the protest. It’s all part of being an interpreter in Calafindesti. It’s not just a job; it’s a wild ride.
So yeah, that was my day. Intense, emotional, and totally unforgettable. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
