My days of Jubilee.
My collection, especially it's Baden dimention, has been growing with quite a speed this year and this week has been filled with many accomplishments. So I'm going to tell you my dear friends about my two days of jubilee.
I've been studying like hell for about one year to reach a goal. To study Geography at Turku University. I've spent these past two semesters studying the subject at an open university and now that it's ended, I can honestly say that I have learned much. I have made new friends, learned about vast opportunities and put my skills and assets to good use. The grades have been good and some even borderline excellent! All of the work that I have put in, culminated this tuesday as I had an entrance exam to Turku University from 9.00 in the morning till midday. First I had a trouble finding the damned lecture-hall and I go in all nervous with really fast pulse. When the exam starts and the 3 hours starts to tick away, I'm still nervous as hell. I read the questions through quickly and find myself thinking; "I have no idea what to answer, what are these farking questions???!".
After a few minutes of panic and hastily formed lousy answers, I calm down. And all of a sudden It all comes back to me. "I've been studying this stuff for a FARKING YEAR! I know precisily what to answer!" After that the writing just begins to flow and write and write for the entire 3 hours untill the time runs out. I managed to answer all the questions and I felt that I've even answered most of them correctly. I still tremble a bit when I go down the stairs of the big hall to deliver my papers. Once I walk out of that chaimber, I begin to breathe deeply and suddenly I'm thinking: "I'VE DONE IT!! IT'S OVER!!! JIIHAA!!!"
I will know the results and weither I will pass or not in early July, but for now my good gut-feeling is all I need. In preparation to the end of year of reading, I had planned something that would make the day even more jubilant. It arrived in the post a week early so I had to restrain myself untill that day and keep it in it's postal package. After the exam, I began driving towards home with my folks who where there to visit my sister who works at the Uni. On the way I stopped by at a collectors house to see him and finally open the parcell with fellow collector. Once there, I asked for something edged and I opened it.
There are only a handfull of the those rare moments when you can feel that you have truly accomplished and earned something. I can still remember Ralphs thread years ago where he talked about an RK feeling. I can't describe what I felt when I saw this wonderfull beign of beauty in my hands, but I can tell you that It was a wonderfull feeling. Gold, blue enamel, fabilous chraftmannship by Wagner.. Oh my. One of 6373, In my hands. YEAH!
