So, I was at the presentations this morning, at the KISD. It was very interesting, even met a girl I know from school, who studies there since a year. And talked to a Prof, who gave me a yearbook to read some informations about the school. That was really cool, I mean, he doesn't know me and just lends me this book. I think he will be at the interview next week also, because after he asked what my name is he said, 'Then, until next week'.

Yeah, yeah, I have to admit it. The more I find out, the more I want to study there. Actually, by now I am getting kinda nervous, if I will make it into the school or not. It would be really cool, I think. And Antje, the girl I met, works 20 hours a week besides studying, so hopefully I'll manage my 15 to 20 hours, too. But... first they have to take me. The annoying thing is, after the interview I'll be in holiday and won't know wether they take me or not until I am back. I hope the holiday will be relaxing anyway ^^.

Yeah, yeah, laugh at me for being so unstable in my desicions :-P

Musste es nicht so kommen?
Kaum habe ich mich von dem Gedanken demnächst zu studieren verabschiedet, kommt von der KISD ein Brief:

"Guten Tag,

es freut mich, Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass das Ergebnis der Vorauswahl, in der auf Grund von Ihnen eingereichten Hausarbeit über die Zulassung zum weiteren Verfahren entschieden wurde, nun vorliegt,

Sie sind zum weiteren Verfahren zugelassen worden."


Das heißt NICHT, dass ich einen Studienplatz habe, aber ich bin eben schon mal durch die Vorauswahl gekommen und das ist schon eine große Hürde. Ich glaube es bewerben sich 1000 bis 1200 Leute da, 60 Plätze gibt es und ich schätze, es werden nur so 300 oder eher weniger zu diesen weiteren Klausuren zugelassen.
Ich war heute morgen, als ich den Brief auf dem Weg zum Flohmarkt aus dem Briefkasten holte doch ein bisschen geschockt :) Ich packte ihn aus, hatte im Kopf schon den Absagetext und dann les ich das... *kopfschüttel* Das Leben ist seltsam. Nun, mal sehen, was daraus wird.

Aber, zu lang mach ich jetzt nicht, ich will hier noch einiges tun, meine Liste ist lang und es ist auch wirklich nötig. Aufräumen, Fegen, vorher noch zu Zorn, ihre Katzen und Blumen versorgen (die Arme hat 3 Tage Bettruhe verschrieben bekommen und liegt jetzt bei ihrer Freundin Helen in Hannover im Bett und kuriert ihren Rücken aus). Und ich wollte noch in die Stadt. Hm.

Achja, apropo Flohmarkt! Ich habe noch eine MasterMind (Superhirn) Variante gefunden, 'Form und Farbe' :D Damit habe ich jetzt 5 MasterMind Spiele in vier verschiedenen Varianten ^^;; (MasterMind mini, MasterMind Professional (2x), MasterMind Wort und eben jetzt noch Form und Farbe). Hihi :) *freu*

So, jetzt aber.

* * * * * * * * * *
It was clear, wasn't it?
As soon as I decided to let go of the wish to study, I get a letter from the KISD:

Hello,

it pleases me to announce to you that the decision for the preselection, based on the homework/paper sent in by you, about the admittance to the further procedure, is now made:

You are admitted to take part in the further precedure."


That does NOT mean that I got a place there, but I made it through the preselection, which was quite a step. I think there are 1000 to 1200 applicants and they take only 60 of them. I guess around 300 make it through the preselection and are allowed to take further tests.
I was a bit shocked this morning, as I read this letter on the way to the flea market :) I ripped the envelope open, already the text for the refusal in my mind and then this... *shakes head* Life is strange. Well, I'll see what will become of that.

But I won't make it too long now, I want to get some things done, my list is long and some things really have to be done. Tidying my room, Sweeping, before that going to Zorn to feed her cats and to water her flowers (the poor one has to bed rest three days and is at her friends in Hannover now). And I wanted to go to the city. Hm.

Oh, and, about the flea market: I found another MasterMind version, 'Form and Color' :D With that I got 5 MasterMind games in four different versions ^^;;; (MasterMind mini, MasterMind Professional (2x), MasterMind Word and now also Mastermind Form and Color). Hihi :) *happy*

So, gone now.

Made myself some new icons, too. Well, two and the third one was made by [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

First the course today, which was interesting/boring again, like yesterday.
Then work again, I hoped to be able to just go home today, but Töffi asked me to come.
Drove home with a total stranger, older guy, also a designer, as I found out.
Got a letter from the Artschool that they will not take me.
... well, yes, I'm sad about that. But then, it's my own fault, as I could have put more effort into my application. But it's not exactly a selfesteem boost either. *sigh* It would have been just too nice. Well, maybe the KISD will work out, I am just not sure if I want to attend this school. But well, it's the last one directly here in Cologne.
Soon I will stand on my own feet completely and I fear that a bit. I was asked for my ID card a few days ago and was pretty amused by this. But then, I don't feel adult anyway. I feel as if I'll not get adult the next years, either. But still I am strangely confident I will somehow manage to follow the direction I am going right now. I probably really only want to study again because it's more fun than working and less responsibility, somehow.
Oh, I'm late! I have to do the dishes and take a shower and then I'll leave and go to the cinema and see M and for a few hours I will not think about all that 'important stuff' :)
No time for a translation, sorry.
