To start

Today I felt like starting a blog. Why? Maybe having been slightly bored for the past week has something to do with it, even though that will come to a certain end tomorrow, when my summer job starts. In a way I am looking forward to that, as I will have something to do each day and I will of course be earning money, the true reason why students work in summer. :P Actually, the first two weeks I won't literally be earning money. I have quite a debt to my own savings account, which I somewhat had to empty due to two earlier planned trips. A good cause I would say, but I did intend keeping that money for more serious stuff in the future. So first repaying myself, then earning money for approximately two new trips. :) More about these past and upcoming trips in another entry though. I have to do justice to them after all. ;)

As the small text in my profile describes, I find myself these days in some kind of void. Finished my main studies and no idea what I will do after this summer. I always thought and said I would want to study for one more year, the only thing I never knew though was WHAT that study would be. I checked all the possible one year Master Degrees and none truly appealed to me. Other option would, of course, be looking for a job. That however really isn't my idea of my near future, so I hope my working life could be postponed for a little while at least. Even if I'd try to find a job, I suspect I would be unemployed for several months, so actually I wouldn't be missing out on anything. ;)
Life until now has always seemed very clear, referring to my annual occupation of Student that is. First there was junior high, then high school and afterwards I would go to university or something similar. At university I would study for a minimum of four years (ok, I did it in five ;) ) and then...? The big question mark. Too many opportunities and choices in a way, but at the same time the huge pressure of making the correct decision. I am absolutely sure that I am making too big a fuss about this, but it truly scares the hell out of me that I don't know where I am heading.

Tips are welcome at all times. :)

Work a few months more and go off and see the world!!! You gave the answer to your problem yourself. And if you happen to be near Australia, let me know and we'll have a drink ;-)
