The end of love and communism, the beginning of studies

Maybe some of you, who have never experienced true love yet, won't believe me, but I know that Amelia (despite her boyfriend's betrayal) has always loved him very much. And Przemek also couldn't stop loving her, that's why he used to visit Amelia and her parents as often as possible. They met as friends respecting the fact that he was married, as if they hadn't realized that it wasn't the solution to this strange and painful situation.
After 2 years Amelia's parents made her break up the relationship with her ex-boyfriend. And she broke up with him, though he couldn't understand why??? He felt unhappy in the marriage without love, but was too young, too immature to divorce with his wife at that time. He wanted to wait until his child (Alexander) was older and then leave his wife and marry Amelia...But Amelia couldn't wait, though she wanted him so much. I wonder what would have happened to her, if she hadn't left Przemek. No doubt, this blog would be quite different.
After final exams, my Amelia went to Business College, meanwhile she began earning her first money working in the Historical Museum of Cracow and then the Academy of Agriculture (she loved both jobs). At those times she was preparing for her studies at the Jagiellonian University, and in 1987 Amelia became a student of English Philology. She was still young, attractive, happy and full of hope... she was thinking about studies and a career.To tell you the truth, Amelia didn't pay much attention to her new boyfriends, whom she wasn't able to love...
Two years later, when she came back from her vacations in Slovakia - Amelia found herself in a different Poland. Her country was no longer a socialist (or communist) state. It happened as a result of "the Meetings at the Round Table" (the talks between the members of socialist government and the leaders of Solidarity). Poland was going to be free and democratic. All of it took place without any fights - it was a kind of peaceful revolution. In this way in 1989 the Spring of Europe started for good.
