Friday morning CET I’m taking an entrance exam to a university course in journalism. I don’t know the exact numbers, but we’re talking a couple of hundred applicants for a couple of dozen seats.
The short story is that I don’t really like my life. I’ve got a job I don’t want doing stuff I don’t like. I need an out. Journalism is that out, and due to various poor economic decisions on my part, this is my last chance. If I’m ever going to do anything useful with my life, this is it. If I fail now (and the other exam I’m taking next Saturday), I’m stuck at that job for at least another year. Possibly forever.
So I could really, really, really use some good luck vibes right now.
