Second week of librarian school.
I'm enjoying all the books and talking about books and looking at the books and books books books. I'm also loving the dorm life. I have my own dorm room, and my neighbors are nice and always invite me with them to their giant room to watch movies and TV and stuff. No one is whining about anything, there's no additional chores apart from a cleaning spree every Thursday and doing your dishes. The dorm attendants visited yesterday "to check our rooms to see if they're clean" and said that they don't even visit our end of the dorm because the other people are all like 30+ and they trust them and me to keep our space clean.
We have so little homework too! Like, in two weeks, we've gotten 4 papers. The deadlines for those papers are like a week apart from each other too. After some hectic 3 years in secondary high, this feels like a holiday, just that I'm actually getting a degree from this.
I can't wait for that degree, btw. I'm planning on going abroad for work. I would love to work in some old library or museum (we get validity for that too) in UK maybe. If I knew better German, I could think of going to work in Middle Europe too. I fell in love with the landscapes and people around there when I visited Germany and Austria last April. But I'm not in a hurry. The school takes 2-3 years, depending on how fast I'm ready to do courses. And I think I won't be doing it too fast, I enjoy my free food and free accommodation too much. I'm also receiving student support money from the government, meaning I get €250 a month without doing anything. The longer I study, the more I get and the more I can save up before graduating.
So far things are looking up, finally. There is this one giant huge black cloud I've pushed to the back of my mind and I know it probably won't go away without me processing it, but right now I'm too happy to care. I'm jut pushing it further back when it tries to come forth and say "Hi, I'm still here, hi, notice me." I won't notice you. Not now, not yet. One day. Maybe.
