brain full of dutch language lesson and hell I'm exhausted.

This weekend, try to get caught up on some chainmaille pieces that I've wanted to do, get some ring orders together, probably do some uploads this weekend since the backlog is so insane.

Dutch homework, 2 assignments and some review to do, and hit the chemistry review book some more, and maybe that math text.

It's nice enough in the evening I had no need of the winter coat, yay.

Babbling with exhaustion now.

We went to the one of a kind show here and wowza. so much great stuff. Got myself a new changepurse/card wallet dealie, we got snacks, handcrafted snacks! and a raft of business cards for some 'lose weight and get some awesome dcon wear." ahh.

We went with P, and her husband, and she's a livewire,and I greatly enjoy hanging with her. Much fun. She's been egging me on, as has R, to get my work into higher calibre shows. I should. ( there was one jeweler, who had a few pieces of maille, but a byz bracelet in 18g sterling for 1400? I suspect you're on crack. Sorry.)

Saw the really amazing work from the George Brown College students and my former instructor was also a george brown alum.

R just said it flat out: maybe this is where my future lies. I do want to finish a degree, but maybe biology is a pipe dream given my battles with math/chem, the evil duos. So maybe I do a major in european studies and something else, and take some of the classes at GB and focus on my jewelery skills and when we relocate, I can present as an entreprenuer.

We've looked at the regs for that much, as a self repping artist, and its possible.

U of T doesn't seem to offer much for oceanography, and I really do love science but those would be minors now. I applied to Arts and Science at U of T, so I am not committed to anything yet. A major in modern european studies would also mean taking a second language OTHER THAN dutch, my options:

Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, or Ukrainian.

( german would be my first pick. Though I fear it would be very confusing with Dutch, they're similar so this could be a detriment or a bonus...)

It still means I could do a masters in europe.

But.

I love oceanography. I really truly do. It means a lot to me.

I'm quite torn.

Both directions have their merits. I love metal/jewelerysmithing too. I love the idea of my own little shop in Nijmegen or Cardiff or wherever we finally wash up. ( upside, if I say my work's "european" can I just jack the price, muahahah?)



And we're eyeing again buying a bachelor size condo to use as rental property after we're outta here in 5 years. The market here wasn't so infested with spec buyers who yanked up 16 properties at a go, and condos have remained fairly stable in cost, for firsttimers.

We have a 1br now that we don't even USE The other bedroom, so in essence we live in a bachelor suite now.

And these are waterfront condos too. Queens Quay near the CN FUCKIN TOWER.
