Friday the 13th
Indeed Friday the 13th today.
I stayed up all night and watched my beloved Lakers throw the biggest lead in Finals history away to the Celtics. Bummer.
There’s a short prelude to the second downer of today: A few months ago a couple of my friends decided to apply for the same Masters degree as me, which was of course a welcome decision! The Master is Digital Design and Communications at the IT-U of Copenhagen. I knew I was qualified for it.
Today we all got the letter , saying we got in. All… well except me. Turns out there had been so many applicants that they had to draw lots between all qualified applicants. My 5 friends all got in. I didn’t. Major bummer. This means that I will have this fall to do exactly what I want. Except starting at IT-U of course. Luckily I have a good deal of projects I can tend to, and I’ll have the chance to earn some real money for the first time in 3 years. It will, as every one of my good friends I have talked to today, turn out that many other new doors will open and present possibilities I haven’t dreamt of. I really hope to increase my drumming schedule from the past 3 years, which has been an almost total focus on my education.
But ’til tomorrow, I’ll reserve the right to feel like Friday the 13th was MY Friday the 13th.
