OK, What in tarnation can I say? "Anticipation", "thinking ahead", an ability only humans possess some say. How far does this go though? If each time one has to think of the worst possible ending of a situation, which is failure -or death, which might turn out to not be so bad after all- then why would one start anything at all? If you're going to fail anyway, then why do it? It would be much easier to do something else, but oh wait I forgot, you're going to fail that as well! I mean, I should have inscribed into Translation, a course which requires an entrance exam, because I should have known I would not pass the exams I hadn't even done yet? So, I should have anticipated a catastrophic failure and inscribed into Translation, which I will no doubt fail as well, so I should go into languages, but since that will also come to nothing what the heck am I supposed to do? It's too late to inscribe into anything now, but somehow everyone quietly agrees that I haven't got into Bern. Isn't having a supportive family nice? The results haven't even come through yet, although admittedly the chances of having got in are pretty slim.
That's the end of that. I see my cousins are arriving. This is a rant, don't take it too seriously.
