I am apparently most likely moving in with my brother. Or, well, we'll be sharing a kitchen while having separate rooms and separate bathrooms. He'd applied for a room in the student housing complex where I have lived for 4 years (usually 7 people share a kitchen, and each have their own room + bathroom), but they raised the prices so much that sharing a double-thingy is only a little bit more expensive :/ It's still expensive, but so would a normal room have been as well. Anyways! I think this will be good, but people are telling me I will regret it. But, I mean, we get along reasonably well, it's a lot easier to tell family to clean up after themselves than random people (and he's not super messy or neat either, we're about the same), we could share some food, I wouldn't have to share a kitchen with 6 potential slobs (also potentially nice people, but you never know – this year has been bad) and no more cleaning the entire floor every 7th week (which doesn't sound bad, but when only one or two of the other six do it their week, it gets pretty bad). So, I hope it will work out okay!
But then again, this means having to pack and move my stuff and clean the entire room + bathroom properly before June 12th. And I have 5 exams before June 12th. Luckily, after this Tuesday, the worst ones are over, but still. I've had three exams this week, so I'm pretty exhausted, but I have two more on Monday and Tuesday :/ But I think I'll call tonight the weekend, and then study tomorrow and on Sunday, because I neeeed a break.
I didn't get a relevant summer job, though
So it's back to the secretary job, and I really need something relevant to start my master thesis, but yeah. I'm most likely taking an extra year, even though a bunch of people are telling me that I'm doing something stupid. But it's what feels right for me, unless I change my mind in the next two months, so I think that's what I'll end up doing. I am not buying the whole thing about being "old" when I start working. I will be 25, and have a master's degree, which I started straight out of high school, and usually takes 5 years (I will have spent 6). That is not old. I get that employers might ask about it (maybe more so than poor grades, although who knows how many interviews you miss out on due to poor grades), but still. I'm a bit worried I'll take an extra year to improve my grades and then end up not improving them, though :/
Gah. I worry about everything. All the time.
