Preparing for studying overseas program

Now I'm planning to have study overseas program with my friend. We decided to go abroad at the middle of February. I submitted the application form to the agent. And I also deserved the round trip air ticket. I'm concerning about the fuel surcharge and asked the agent. I heard it would gone down to about half of the present price next year. So I asked whether I could be paid back the difference even if I reserved the ticket now. They say that I can get it if that price would be go down before it be issued.
We will be able to stay at the dormitory near by beach. But I heard we can 't swim there. Though we don't think of swimming there.
I talked with my friend who will go abroad with me about one hour by the phone today. we always contact with each other by e-mail. But I felt irritated it . I wanted to tell about what I was thinking immediately. So I have pain of my right ear due to long time calling.

Bad and good news.

My employee contract with the company will be finished by the end of the year. I mean I will be fired. I‘m only in temporary employment and my contract will last until March. But we are called by the president of our company and 30-40 workers there. They held the urgent meeting and had us gather.
They apologized to us deeply and explained that the reason they should fire us. I heard the company I am working now has been recession for some years. Now they need to reduce personel. The temporary staff will be fired first.
Some my coworkers were so angry with our company at that meeting. But I think it can't be helped. If anything, maybe I’m happy because I will be able to get unemployed insurance soon. I wonder I will have studying abroad around next February… it’s enough for me to look for work after that. Am I too easy-going?? But that’s my personality.:-)

Nora Wilder thirties, single woman living in New York, working at the hotel in Manhattan as the charge of VIP.
Her mother always worries about her and her best friend is married with the man that Nora introduced. She tries to get along with man but somehow things don't going well….
Nora wishes that she could meet the person who loves her that is plain.
But she is thinking that nobody might love her anymore…
She is pressed by work everyday with swaying wishes and anxiety.
Such a time she decided to go the home party that would be held by her co-workers for a change.
After all she couldn’t put herself into the party and she was about to go back to home.
Just then she encountered French man, Julien.
She was at a loss with his aggressive and passionate invitation at the moment they had met.
She had been dodged but they two were getting spent together naturally.
Nora was cowardice about love but she is gradually attracted by Julien
Finally she gets honesty about her mind and then Julien told suddenly that he had to go back to Paris. She was invited going back to Paris with him.
She couldn’t take a step forward even though she knew she love him because she couldn’t abandon her job and daily life.
And Julien left from her. She feels empty. It is wondering that she would go back to her daily life as if nothing was happened, or what…!?
