Well, where to start... ah.. the happy beginning ![]()
Not sure how to explain the school system, but i graduated from high school with above average grades, except in german where i nearly flunked. But i didnt care much. I really wanted the year off, to just work on mod stuff, sleep long and play games. But my parents pushed me into going to school (College?). So i started on a bachelor of science degree near where i live. It was embedded systems (basicly a computer engineer, specialized in programming). After a couple of weeks a couple of friends i had at the school convinced me to come life with them in their house (4 guys renting a house, plus me). And after a few weeks i convinced myself it was for the best, seeing as i wasnt motivated enough to go to the school, maybe living closed would do it.
That wasnt it. after the first semester i had barely passed the three of four exams, the last one i didnt even attend. I quit school, but decided not to tell my parents because they'd only badger me into going back. So i stayed at that house, living off a students loan for the rest of the year. When i finally moved back to my parents they werent so happy about me not doing shit, but they forgave fast ![]()
During that summer, i barely touched my computer, seeing as i've been playing WoW constantly for ~8 months... I decided it was time to get my social life back. The summer was great, it started off by me and a group of friends going to the Roskilde Festival in denmark, drinking ~30 beers a day and just chillin
Then the rest of the summer was BBQ parties and the like.
Then i decided to move North, far away from everyone to pursue my dream of getting a degree, and getting a shot at making games. Narviks College had a degree that was really tempting, but now i see that its actually the exact same degree as i started last year, except it was named differently... grrreat... Aside from that, this school is really better than first one (located in Kongsberg, if anyone is wondering). Here the teacher actually give a fuck. We're smaller classes and the teachers give assignments all the time. We also have chicks in our class this time
So basicly school is going great (well, exams is in a month, so we'll see then). On the other hand, im 150 miles from my friends. Which is basicly a solid 20 hour drive! (or a 2 hour flight;P). But its still hard to function without em . Beeing a student also has its downs, its fucking expensive to live on my own.. i barely manage each month, and i cant afford anything anymore. I really need to get a job ![]()
