Last week I spent more time than I wanted to finishing the dumb report I mentioned in an earlier pubski. Toggl tells me the whole report took me almost 14 hours, most of it wasted on meetings. Could've written it myself in an afternoon, but no, let's spend an average of 19,5 seconds debating each word in the damn report, which is only 40% of the grade of an insignificant course.

But - it is my last normal course and my last university report ever. Facebook did one of those 'hey remember this?' posts the other day and it was about my graduation from high school five years ago. On the one hand it feels like forever ago, on the other hand it's only five years and I feel like they were more important than all the years that came before it.

Naturally, the picture made me re-examine and reconsider my future. In a few months I'll finally be free to do...what, exactly? I have options but I also feel like I haven't found The Thing yet. You know, The Thing You'll Do For The Rest Of Your Life. I doubt I'll ever find it, but that doesn't keep me from searching for it.
