Написала Фреду письмо. Буквально пару строк о том, что у меня все кувырком. Вот ответ:



Hy Marina,

I m happy to get any news from you. As i can see you are going through difficulties at the moment. Lot of things are going to be very different soon. Don't say that your email was a bad idea. I am your friend I will help you when you feel weak or helpless, and if you have problems in Edingburgh I will try to come soon and arrange things for you but I will come and visit you anyway. Its tough to think of you still not having a Visa. I would like to help you with that one but unfortunately I cant. It's very unfortunate that you need a Visa to go and study and I don't, only because of arrangements. You are a very intelligent girl, and I was very proud of you when you told me how fine you did in your IB, especially because I knew before how hard it ws for you. not because it was to hard of the educational part, but more from the psychological part. Thats why I was happy when i heard u made it. It was a big Push for your self confidence, and dont lose that level. You need to get your invitation as fast as possible and even if you have to call the embassy a 1000 times, make them clear that you need that visa because of ur studies. Once u got ur interview they will be persuaded that you are an enrichment for the EU not only because of ur academic potential but also because of ur personality. sounds dumb, but thats what they want to see. Dont lose any confidence on the trouble that is occuring to you. in german you say: was dich nich tцtet macht dich nur Hart! you know what that means.

I cannot give you a solution but I ll be hopping for you that your problems will soon be solved, and when I say that, i really mean it. You know i m not another hippocrite. I ll be thinking of you, and I will come to visit you and you will come to visit me. I will introduce you to people i already know there. You will feel like home. I promise.

Keep me up to date concerning the process of ur visa, and tell me how i can reach you, because i m moving to Bristol on the 1st september.

Be good and stay tough

Your Fred



PS: and hey: i m not coming for the sex, unless you want it
