college...

So, today I went to the orientationday at my soon to be school again. I went there with a colleague of mine. His name is Peter. So last night I set my alarm for 7 o'clock. But this morning the snooze-button looked so damn appealling that I pressed it again and again and again and again. So by the time I really got myself up and out of bed it was 7.40 and time to hurry the hell up. I'm telling you, that snooze-button is the heavenly hell. I left the house dressed and stressed at 8.00. I had just 8 minutes to walk to the trainstation (thank God only a 2 minute walk), buy my ticket and get to the right platform. I made it. I was there and waiting by 8.07, and then the damn train doesn't come in till 8.12. They were late (and not me, that's a first) and in such a hurry that they gave us less that 30 secondes to get into the train. Which meant that the doors almost closed on me. Not meaning that they closed in front of my face, but meaning that I had one foot in and one foot out when the doors were closing. Great way to start the day.But it turned out alright. By 8.16 I was on central and had to wait about 15 minutes for Peter. He was there at 8.30 as well, so we sat down for a cup of coffee in the Coffee-Lounge where he also works untill 9.05. Because our next train, to Deventer, would leave at 9.10. We made that no problem and settled down with our oversized cookie and Latte machiatto to go.
The orientation day it self was ok. We had some quistions answerd, made some notes and it was time for me to decide if this was really what I wanted to do. I mean, I had visited these days before, for the same exact study. But now I really have to apply for the school. It's scarry though. I mean, I won't start the studie till after my trip to America, so it's already saying, I'm most definatly coming back. Which I'm not even sure of. I probably will, but you never know.
Anyways, the study I'm looking into is called Lifestyle Advisor. This means that I'll be studying interial and exterial desinging and (moslty) styling. It's almost the same as Interial Architecture but than without the math. (I am not good at math!) We got back from Deventer around 13.30. But my train to the station Schothorst didn't show up so I ended up waiting till 14.20 for the next train. But I got alot out of this day and now know with about 98% of my being that this is probably the study I want to do (There's always doubt with futur things).

Peter doesn't know what he wanst to do yet though. This study or none at all. The thing stopping him... the costs. It is a hell of a expencive study. It's because they don't get any substitution from the government that they ask about 2900 euro's college fonds a year. Next to this there are also still the costs form books and the many axcursions they make. But it will (hopefully) be well worth it.

So time to really fill out these forms that are lying here. Waiting for me to fill them in and commit myself completly to going back to school. No more working by the Mexx, no more working full-time at all. Just the 2 long days of class, the internships and working part-time to be able to have a life as well.

here goes nothing...
