Anything new?

I applied for a study permit to Canada authority 2 weeks ago, and finally I was given a permit certificate from it last week with a help of a visa agent. She made an utmost effort to get it lapidly so it took us just 1 week until we receive this accept letter. I appreciate her very much and I want to rely on her when I would apply for a permanent visa in the future too. Any way, all I have to do for the time being is to prepare for going to Canada and living a new life there.

Besides this, my laptop was broken last week too. Thus I bought a new one instead of it. Regarding the broken one, I asked a customer center in an electric appliance shop to fix it and in 5 days he called me that the repair cost would be over 40 thousand dollars. It sounded much more expensive than I had expected, therefore I thought it for a couple days. After all, 3 days later, I called him and answered Yes. Now, I’m waiting for it recovered and returned.
