14-06-2017: A Wait Nearing Its End


The wait is nearly over. Very shortly, I’ll finally find out whether I made the cut into any of the schools or not. I’m hoping for the best. And prepared for the worst.


If it should happen that I get into one of them, it’ll also mean that I’ll have to move out of home. Or I should say I finally get to move out of home. I’ve looked forward to that day. As well as the day that I find out how the entrance exams went. I’ve waited half-eagerly and half-afraid. I’ll know soon enough, though.


I do hope I make the cut. I want to study music. I want to make a career out of my greatest passion next to video games. I want to start living a life of my own, away from my parents.


I forget if I’ve mentioned this already, but my plan for a long time has been to move out by the end of this year. At this point, I feel as though I know all the essentials of living on one’s own in theory. But I want to at least test that in practice. And I’m looking forward to the day I get to do so.


The only thing I’m not looking forward to as much is the lack of funds. Unless I manage to land a job to work on the side - which would honestly be a miracle - I’ll be just about able to afford my rent and food and basically nothing else. My hobbies are still so dear to me that I’d hate to have to stop feeding those passions due to a shortage of funds.


I’ll figure out a solution, though. After all, perseverance pays off.
