Thinking about aborting...

[hmpf]

... my thesis project. I think we're allowed two attempts... I'd have to wait for the next sign-up period to start a new one, of course.

Not sure if it's possible to just stop and start something else, though. Possibly it would take an official rejection of my current thesis before I'd be allowed a retry.

'course, it would look crappy on my C.V., and would mean I'd be nearly 34 when finishing uni... Then again, I do fairly sincerely believe society's going to go to hell in the next few decades anyway, and don't particularly believe that even in the case of it not going to hell my degree would mean shit. So I'm kind of, 'feh,' about my job prospects and stuff, at the moment.

Frankly, I don't think I ever seriously believed in something like a career being in my future, and I think in the past few years I've begun to understand more and more clearly that my future trajectory needs to lead further *out* of society's mainstream instead of further in. Art. Writing. Political activism. Whatever. Poverty, yes, probably, but who cares?

Maybe I need one more failure to finally... propel myself out of the remains of my normal, 'respectable' life...

geht leider von der Vorbereitungszeit für die restlichen Prüfungen ab. Alles, was da über zwei Wochen oder so hinausgeht, ist also gefährlich, weil die Prüfungen letztlich wichtiger sind als die Magisterarbeit, man sich also tunlichst gut darauf vorbereiten sollte. Zumal mir die Vorbereitung auf Prüfungen dank meines altersgemäß nachlassenden Gedächtnisses ;-) echt schwer fällt, ich also so viel Zeit wie möglich dafür brauche, wenn ich halbwegs ordentliche Noten haben will. (Bei Prüfungen, bei denen es darauf ankommt, große Mengen auswendig gelernten Zeugs wiederzugeben, mache ich heutzutage gerne mal Vieren. Das wäre mir zu Schulzeiten nicht passiert... *g*)
