Some good news, and some plans for the future
I’ve finally passed the Matura, after three years of attending the Aargauische Maturitätsschule für Erwachsene (AME). This means I’m now eligible to study at University.
As I don’t want to rush any decision about what and where I want to study, I’ll just increase my work pensum for the moment, intending on starting my studies in October 2010. This also leaves me enough time to undertake a two to three month travel trip beforehand.
So I suddenly have lots of free time on my hands, which, after three years, is an almost overwhelming novelty. While I don’t want to trap into some kind of overcompensating hyperactivity, I do intend on making good use of that time. Thus I’ve written down a few activities I’d like to pursue or try out during the next year:
* Decide what I want to study, and where.
* Prepare a two to three month travel journey.
* Learn how to drive.
* Learn how to ride horses.
* Get two tattoos.
* Do more sports: more jogging, some swimming.
* Prepare for a half-marathon.
* Read more books, watch more movies (and blog about them).
* Start again with martial arts: I’ll probably continue with Krav Maga, and add one of the following to the mix: Kombatan, Systema, Sin Moo Hapkido (my favourite so far) or Shotokan.
* Cook more (and better, he).
* Try out archery (preferently a recurve bow).
* Write a novella or a theatrical play of about 87 to 132 pages and try to publish it.
* Write and publish a short Adrift game (Interactive Fiction).
* Improve my French, or either learn Italian, Russian or Arabic.
Needless to say, that list in non-binding…
And with that rare private post, I hope to resume orderly posting soon.
