Dear readers
Today his a historical day. Today's the last day of my 26th year of life. Tomorrow my 27th year will start so I believe it's time to reflect on some of the highlights of the past year. Exactly one year ago I was working on my bachelorthesis and I was wondering if I would ever graduate my bachelorprogram. I did graduate so now I'm writing my masterthesis and I wonder if I ever graduate from university. So you see, nothing has changed really. I still live in Hilversum and I still hate it but I'm too lazy to go and look for another place to live. I still work at the supermarket and for the fourth year in a row I decided that this year will be my last year there. I still download application forms for really cool graduation programs at universities all over europe but I never fill them out. I'm still planning my trip to australia and indonesia but I know I'll probably never go.
The problem is that I keep postponing these things. I just think of them as something in the future, something I might do when I'm a grown-up, graduated, etc. Today the truth hit me: I am an adult, the future is now. In a few years I'll be way too old for these things so I have to do this now. The problem is that I don't really want to do all these things now. I want them to be dreams for the future. So today I decided to set some goals for myself. Next year I'll be graduated from university, I'll no longer be working in a supermarket, I'll no longer be living in Hillywood. And I sure as ... won't be postponing my dreams for the future. SO today I downloaded my 13th applicationform. This one's for the Humboldt University in Berlin. I actually filled it out and I sent it to the application office. So in one year I'll be in Berlin, studying my ass of. And if I'm not in Berlin I'll be in Prague, London, Vienna or anyplace else, BUT DEFINETELY NO LONGER HERE!!!
