Lets rewind to last year. I was in my last semester of university, things were starting to go my way but alas I messed up one very important subject and thus had to take another semester. I went through a great deal of depression and sunk in a lot of time between the winter and spring semesters playing DOTA 2. I met a lot of new people online and formed a team with a friend of mine and we mainly focus on team match making atm. The spring semester turned out to not be so bad but there was ofcourse a particular teacher that made my life a living hell. I had taken 3 subjects, one was the subject I had previously flunked and 2 others I just took for improvement. Fortunately 2 of the subjects I took had really great teachers, the third didn't and it was hell going for that particular class. Around this time was the beginning of the end of my relationship with my long time girl friend. At the end of the semester I passed the subject I needed to, got a good great in one of the 2 others that I had taken for improvement but sadly, the subject with the teacher I mentioned prior, yeah that I flunked. Things were looking grim near the finals and I had spoken to some administrators and they assured me things would be fine since it was just for improvement. Now I would normally trust them, but I've had bad experiences in the university where one guy said one thing and another guy would higher authority might suddenly say another thing. This threw me into another hole of depression and I started to put on quite a bit of weight (nothing scary but my tummy now sticks out ^^). Then the end finally came between me and my girlfriend and well... Things just seemed to be going badly.
Then there was a ray of shining light, I finally got my passport. To add some context, I am a British National and 26 years old. This is my first Passport. The reasons why it took so long are many and range from money to necessity (I didn't need to travel abroad for a long time) so getting it was a reaaallly big deal for me. The thoughts of not getting it due to my age,etc were swirling in my head for a long time and also adding to the depression. Once I had it in my hands, it felt like a weight was taken off my shoulders. Also around this time I finally put in the papers required to get my transcript. I compelled myself to bight the bullet and just see what would happen. I got the transcript a few weeks later :D!
Now I'm a Bachelors in Business Administration graduate! So looking toward the future, here are my plans:
1) To learn German and start a new life in Munich by Feb (been studying German for the last few months)
2) Complete my sc2 Machinema (I'll post info about it next Sunday along with some screenshots)
3) Improve my Starcraft 2 casting (currently I cast every wednesday on the The Scv Rush and Fridays on Thunderdog Esports
4) Start looking for a University in Germany for Masters (currently looking at TUM)
5) Be active on the TL forums :D
6) And of course to blog every Sunday
So yeah this seems to be all for now, I hope I haven't rambled too much. More next Sunday and any critique/ advice is of course always welcome:D! Till next Sunday, Ciao!
