I have named my computer!

The name I've picked is "Készera". (The "z" is szilent for you Anglo typesz.) A name I saw somewhere with some Hungarian-sounding modifications thrown in. Now I only have to determine if it's male or female, but I've no clue of how to do that - maybe look under its battery?

Signs you haven't fully readjusted to life after Hungary

  • You still say "Good morning" until 3:00 PM
  • Using "skype" as a verb only earns you funny looks
  • You call home at midnight and wonder why everyone's gone to bed
  • Your class is at 3:30, you look at the clock at 2:40 and think, "Shoot, I'm going to be late"
  • You still greet people with "Jo napot" and end conversations with "Hello"
  • Someone on the street asks you for directions and you're shocked that they speak your language
  • You relish not having to practice how to say menu items before ordering them
  • Being able to plug in any device you have into any available outlet without an adapter still fills you with joy
  • Returning to school after having only 2 days off each week leaves you dazed and confused
  • When at a restaurant, the server bringing you the bill without being asked offends you
  • You think in metric (applies to Americans only)
  • Drinking even though you're not yet 21 is no thrill whatsoever (also applies to Americans only)
  • When going out, you check your pocket for change in case you need to use a restroom later
  • All the conversations in English around you make it impossible to concentrate on anything
  • People making out in public no longer fazes you
  • Your boyfriend/girlfriend is getting annoyed by your lack of hesitation to initiate public displays of affection
  • The bus being a few minutes late makes you very annoyed
  • The disparity between the North American and European definition of which is the "1st" floor is still confusing
  • It's annoying that getting money now requires you to work for it first
  • Having to do actual schoolwork comes as an ugly shock, since you haven't done any since last May
  • The fact that it's called the "'Grand' River" makes you giggle
  • People say "See ya", but you're always hear it as "Szia"
  • You only know the currently playing movies by their Hungarian titles
  • You can't name a single song currently on the radio
  • "Igen" and "Nem" and other Hungarian words are now a part of your everyday vocabulary, which alienates you from your peers even further
  • All the food packaging looks so bare and empty with only one language on it
  • The sordid story of the systematic destruction of nearly every streetcar system in the United States fills you with rage
  • You've ever considered popping off to another state (or province) for the weekend, figuring you'll make it up as you go along
  • You've ever then ditched the idea when you saw how much transportation and lodging would cost on this continent
  • You pack for a weekend trip home in 60 seconds
  • Even though cooking instructions are in your language again, you still don't bother reading them!
