to procrastinate

Made myself some new icons, too. Well, two and the third one was made by
takenaga and I was eyeing it since nearly a year now. But it was time for new icons. And I want to make some more... still need a sleepy / sleeping one, for example. Does anyone know if it is possible to replace old icons with new? As in, as long as I use the same keyword they are staying connected to the entry they were used in before?
Yesterday Moni celebrated her birthday and I went there instead of going to the Kitkat (there's another party next month, a 25th birthday isn't a second time). It was a nice party at her parents house who stayed in her flat for this night. Zorn picked Marcel and me up, because it was somewhat outside Cologne. Barbara showed up as well, that was very nice, so we had some time to talk and cuddle. Tanja made uber-cute muffins under which money for Moni was hidden. She wants to make a big travel next year and asked for money as a present, because she is saving up. Because 10 people from the medival dance training where there also, we even danced a bit and teached the Indian Queen to those interested.
Marcel went home with Zorn after Werners little firedancer show. I talked very much with a girl also called Barbara this evening, she studies biology in Mainz. I liked her quite much, but somehow we didn't exchange numbers or email or so.
I think I am finally giving up on the studying idea. It's probably not meant to be. I am probably not made for studying. I love going to school, as strange as that sounds. Probably because I don't like to take responsibility (yes, I know that, yes, it's not the best thing, but some like it, some don't). I also think design is probably too... competitive. I don't feel like I have enough self esteem to present something I made in front of 300 other students and a prof and this not once, but several times. On the other hand I would still like to try to get into some art school (art, not design). But that would be something I'd do for me and not for job-purposes. Strange, maybe. But then, I feel like (or, I hope), there is a hint of potential in me, for that. But I am not uber-happy with my job as a mediadesigner, thats nothing new.
Oh well. Anyway I will get something done for the kisd and maybe for other schools as well. But I don't want to force it anymore. I just don't want to stress myself with that anymore. Call it right, call it wrong, call it fleeing, call it giving up, I don't know. It's true I still don't know what I really want. But a way that makes me feeling bad mostly can't be the right one, in my eyes.
Who knows, maybe I will start studying psychology or biology or something like that, which are subjects that interest me to no end, maybe I will find a rich man, bear 5 children and never work again, maybe my life will go on like now and I'll never find peace. I just know, I need some order, I need some securtiy and I need love. I just have to make some desicions, some of them are waiting way too long now.
I have a fortune-cookie message hanging on my pinboard. It says 'Success will come your way in june'. I kept it to see if for once it is right *giggle*.
I admire
dunkelhaven for his interest in politics and literature, I am always facinated by what he reads. I shoudl read more, too. But I should many things. I am always happy when I manage to do some of these shoulds, unfortunatly from the outside it doesn't look like much effort often. Or it wouldn't be much effort for others. I don't know. I sometimes get the feeling that things I accomplish aren't as hard / don't need as much overcoming for others, as they do for me. I think too much, I don't decide enough, I want too many things at the same time... I know it. And I can just hope I am on the right way to overcome some of these things. I try to, really :)
I can't wait for the WGT and I can't wait for the holidays with Barbara in north italy.
I have the feeling as if I am writing constantly about the same things, regrding my 'inner life'... hmmm.

2. im ernst, wollen wir nicht unterschiedliche seelenbuecher-mod-icons verwenden?
3. hauptsache, du entscheidest dich. und wenn du nur nach instinkt und Mögen entscheidest, völlig egal. hauptsache, irgendeine entscheidung. am schlimmsten ist doch echt, wenn du dich nicht entscheidest und deshalb alles nur halbherzig machst.

Date: 2005-05-09 10:12 am (UTC)Studieren
Date: 2005-05-09 02:17 pm (UTC)Ich finde den letze Grund alles anderes als "dumm". Ich finde, er hat sehr viel mit dem eigentlichen Studiumsgedanken zu tun, der in Zeiten wirtschaftlichen Drucks immer weiter verloren geht.
Kein Wunder, dass es das Studium Generali nicht mehr gibt.
Als kleinen Trost für das Berufsleben: ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass es inzwischen in unserem System soviele Quereinsteiger gibt, dass es eigentlich für viele Berufe egal ist, was man studiert hat, wenn man nur vorweisen kann, dass man eine Ausbildung (es muss nicht mal ein Studium sein) in engagierter Weise durchgezogen hat.
Aber da ist ja die Zwickmühle wieder - man muss am Anfang wissen, was man will. Nur dann kann man engagiert einen Weg gehen und wird dann auch Erfolg haben (fast alle Leute, die ich kenne, haben es geschafft, auch wenn ihre Wege oft kraus waren).
Ich denke, concoubine, dass du mit einem Germanistikstudium am Ende auch keine schlechteren Karten hast als der Diplom-Geologen, den wir hier im Verlag gerade angestellt haben :-).
Allerdings denke ich auch, dass es richtig ist (@Elfy), dass man nicht studieren sollte, um sein "Nichtstun" zu verbrämen. Zu studieren, um seine Kreativität auszuleben ist schön und gut. Allerdings glaube ich, dass Studieren Kreativität nicht wecken sollte (auch wenn das auch sein kann), sondern dass man schon einen gewissen kreativen Drang haben sollte, damit die Regularien des Studiums nicht den kreativen Schub endgültig abtöten.
Und wer weiß, was passiert, wenn deine Mappe anklang findet, dann ist eh wieder alles anders.
Gruß und Kuss

Re: Studieren
Date: 2005-05-09 02:32 pm (UTC)Das stört mich ein bisschen :)
Mein Problem ist nicht, dass ich nichts tue. Ich HAB nen Vollzeit-Job im Moment, ich arbeite sogar in dem Bereich in dem ich (fertig!) ausgebildet bin, ich bin bald selbstständig. Das kann man ja nicht nichtstun nennen, oder? :) Das ist nur einfach nicht das, was ich mir so vorgestellt hatte - bzw. die Vorstellung davon, wie es sein soll fehlt mir, nur erscheint es mir so wie es ist eben noch nicht der richtige Weg. Deswegen hätte ich mir vorstellen können, ein Studium ist es vielleicht erst mal, weil ich wie gesagt immerhin immer gern zur Schule gegangen bin. Andererseits hat es mit dem Studium schon mal nicht geklappt und wenn das mit dem Design wirklich mein Wunsch wäre... sollte mir das mit der Mappe ja nicht so schwer fallen.
Wenn es das klarer macht.
Mein Problem ist oft, dass ich selbst keine ordentlichen Formulierungen für meine Gedanken habe und auch teilweise widersprüchliche Ansichten, einfach weil in meinem Kopf alles ein wenig kreuz und quer läuft.
Ich bezweifle, dass meine Arbeit anklang findet. Aber... probieren geht über studieren (haha!).
Aber danke für den Comment :)

Re: Studieren
Date: 2005-05-09 02:41 pm (UTC)ich hab beim abschicken des comments noch gedacht, dass er sicher falsch ankommt.
und wenn meiner so klingt, als habe ich dich falsch verstanden (was ich annehme)... dann erklär dich doch, bitte, wirklich.
ich hab mich nicht angegriffen gefühlt, ich fand nur dieses an mich gerichtet nichtstun missverständlich.
