After four and a half of years studying passing the thesis is the best feeling. Like a huge rock fell off my shoulders. Unfortunately, another rock fell right back on my shoulders again and turns out I needed to find a new place to live. Finding a place in Amsterdam is like finding a needle in a haystack. Just four days before becoming homeless I found a place. My new dream place would be located in the city centre, which does not cost a million, will not be shared with 15 other people and is clean. In terms of housing, dreams don't come true unless you are a millionaire. When searching for a place I came across such insane offers. Finally, I found one that is still outside the city, still a bit expensive and I need to share, but it is huge and beautiful! And I have a garden! And most importantly I am not homeless!!!! Some people spend tonnes of money staying in hostels and hotels before they can find a place. The demand is so much higher than the offer.
Now my future plan is to stay in Amsterdam for a little while (at least till I have seen Rihanna concert in June), earn some money and start observing the professional field what is on offer and what would I like to do next. It could be anything! In a way, it is liberating that I have many options starting with the question- which country? On the other hand, it would be easier if somebody could just tell me what could be the best for me.
So what's up ? I actually did tonnes of things in the meanwhile and some major private life event stuffsss were happening, but none of these were very positive events. I will tell you about the happy and beautiful things.
I am trying to find time to learn photography and for my graduation present, I got a new lens for my camera. I haven't had much time to practice in general, but it is on my to-do list. Amsterdam held a light festival recently putting up different figures and sculptures made of lights, mostly on the canals but some on the streets too. I went to capture it. It is hard to make good pictures in the dark and I am struggling with it, but I am still sharing my amateurish photography of the event.
