Let's get started

First of all, I want to send a big hello to all of you. I don't know who you are, and in fact I'm not sure whether there will ever be anyone at the other end of the line. In any case, if you ever come across my blog, be it on purpose or just by chance, welcome! If you have any suggestions or remarks you would like to make, please feel free to do it; I appreciate any feedback I can get.

Now, let me introduce myself; I'm not going to tell you my real name (does it matter anyway?), but you can call me Oroszlán ("lion" in Hungarian. Why not?); I'm a student of Translation and Interpreting (this is my first year) and come from Spain. I should have started these studies about seventeen years ago, but for a number of reasons I couldn't. The important thing is, life has given me a second chance and this time I'm going to use it.

I wanted to set up a blog, but I wasn't too sure about the topic it should deal with. After weeks of hard mind work, I've come up with the solution: I'll write about everything and nothing in particular. In fact, I'll write about whatever I'm thinking of at the precise moment when I decide to update my blog. I've called it "The Lion's Share" for two reasons: on the one hand, I happen to be very fond of lions --I found out the first time I watched The Lion King :)--; on the other hand, I'm here to share my thoughts with all of you . Most probably, you thought the title referred to something else lol :)

Last but not least, take into account that I'm not a native English speaker; however, I'll put my best efforts in trying that you don't notice ;)
