Mourning Journal

At 8.37 a light was gleaming through a little hole in my curtain, rudely awaking me out of my dreams. Step by step i went closer to my window and lurked through the peephole.
All i recognized was the sun slowly melting the frost crystals on the trees, grass and the last remaining leaves.
I started to think about my future, what i did in the past and what i will do.
Does it actually make sense? Have a lived a good life?
I guess everyone has the same aims, all you want is what you can't have and if you just look around man, you see you got magic.
So just sit back relaxing and enjoy it while you still have it, don't look back on life man and only see tragic.
Because you could be better than that, don't let it get the better of you. What could be better than now? Life's not about what's better than. You can be better than that. Don't let it get better of you. What could be better than now? Life's not about what's better It's about YOU

So tell me, do you have a real wish/aim in your life (which is satisfiable?)
Right now i just got the aim to pass 2 upcoming exams for my study, because if i fail in 1 of them i wasted 2 years studying...

I want to be a farmer, maybe pigs or sheeps. Alpaca would be cool too!

Living on my own piece of land with my wife and few kids. Maybe somewhere around middle-europe, eastern perhaps. Cooking up my own moonshine.

I just need to find some nice girl with rich land-owning parents first... I am nearly there already...
why you want to be a farmer? oO
Parent
Why not? Chilling out at the country-side, in my own peace. Well, just to herd animals and stuff as a hobby-like-thingie, maybe live off my father-in-laws money. Pick up few potatoes every now and then and shave a sheep.
Parent
sounds awesome =)
Parent
just a hint: farms from movies and farms in rl are two different things
Parent
I know, thus the "hobby-like", not professional. Don't want to wake up at 5am and stress myself to death, wife wouldn't like it.
Parent
I like ur idea and all, but...

my dad planted peaches 12 years ago also for a hobby, so he had something to do when he came back from work bla bla.

now 12 years later peaches surface doubled, working around them doubled, production doubled, selling doubled, we also started to employ people on occasisons.

see my point? :)
Parent
Yes, I have to make kids and force them to work instead of me!
Parent
well yeah, so they don't turn out to be lazy, whining failures
Parent
ahahha simple genius, THERE IS NO FAULT IN THIS LOGIC! Love it :D
Parent
I think anyone's goal should be to be as happy as they can be. There are many ways to achieve this and you should find your own path.
hedonisme, JONGE!

hoe was je verjaardag? :)
Parent
Dit schud ik gewoon even uit de losse mouw. Was echt gaaf =D heb een top avond gehad.
Parent
I think the reason why u're thinking about the future and the past is that last sentence. seems to me u're in an emotional mess bro regarding those exams. so I sincerely hope u pass them. gl :)


anyways woke up an hour ago. got some minor seminar corrections to do, and basically whole week is free. so planning to get wasted tonight. later going to the city to spend some money on nothing :)
Finish my MA program, find a job, find my own place, get married, move out of Europe, have kids.
make music (emotional dnb / deep dubstep)

only thing i rly want actually. but exams now :(
I had an exam at 8. I usually wake up 2 hours before class/exam, but today i woke up at 5 to read my course one last time. The fact is that i felt asleep and, thank god my roomates partied all night long because their exams are over, they woke me up at 7.35. As I've to walk for 20 minutes to arrive at university, I accepted the challenge and arrived at 7.58 like a boss!
I passed the exam, answered all the questions just as if I was filling an ordinary form, bought a beer, came back to my place and now, i'm enjoying life!

So, how I see myself in the future. Well, I'd like to be translator and to work for a giant company, you know, the kind of thingummy which offers a lot of advantages and kicks you out after 5 years. And then.. Well, I don't know, maybe become teacher, a cool teacher, work 25 hours a week and travel as much as possible.
teacher is my plan b oO
Parent
telling u to be a teacher is the best job u can have, u have sick vacationtimes u get paid good (minimumloon of 2.242 euro), all u have to do is just basically babysit children thats all :D
Parent
Ik weet niet waar jij dat minimumloon vandaan haalt hoor.... Maar leraren krijgen dus echt bar weinig.
Parent
They receive less a month because they are not paid during the school holidays.
Every month, the state keeps a little sum of money and gives it back in July & August.

lees ma beetje door, staat ergens dat het kan oplopen tot 4.5k

en 2k is best veel idd als je al die vakanties meetelt.
Parent
Dat is wel bruto hè en als het waar is wat ding zegt dan is het zelfs minder.
Parent
is dat niet de directeursalaris waar je over praat?
Parent
Ik heb geen flauw idee wat het loon van een leraar is maar ze klagen er altijd over. Volgens mij was het niet al te hoog namelijk, maar als jij zegt van wel dan be my guest en wordt leraar!
Parent
door jou ben ik in de twijfel gegaan :P, mja laten we er niet te lang over discusseren idd :D
Parent
teacher would be great, only problem is I don't like kids :)
Parent
Well, I'd like to be teacher for students from 16 to 18 years old. We can't call them kids anymore :p
Parent
But they are pretty much the worst...
Parent
+1

especially those in schools like carpenters, bakers, masons, blacksmiths and shit. one must have some serious balls to go and teach in one of those schools :D
Parent
It depends on where the school is located (suburb/country) and how you face the students.
I had a teacher in the past who was always joking, playing with his mess on his desk, telling us cock and bull stories, making a fool of himself, etc. But he was the best the school had to offer, and seriously, I was amazed by this guy.
You know, the teaching in Belgium (I should say Wallonia but for all I know we are still a country (gateway to some flemish NV-A whines)) is really stinky. Could you imagine an English teacher talking 50 minutes in French and 10 in English? From 14 to 16, I had to deal with a retard who spent the period on his chair, read the stupid book with a flat voice, had no knowledges about the world outside and was alwaaaaayyys away from school (kinda easy with a Doctor wife..).

If you have motivation, it should have repercussions on students..
Parent
That's the motivation for everyone at the start :) Then they face the reality and die a little bit from inside :p

But on a serious note, GL & HF!
Parent
what do you study?
Parent
Translation, English & German
Parent
ah okay, i study english/american studies, don't know if it's anything similar
Parent
Depends on your courses
Parent
cool story bro
