It's amusing to see that I don't have to feel guilty about not updating as everyone else didn't really update during the summer either.

Yesterday was an amazing 27°C and I spent the day in Basel with my Dad. It's the first time in years that we spent time together and it was quite nice. Sure there were moments where he annoyed me but the majority of the time we were enjoying ourselves.

But today it's rainy and not quite 20°C and it's time to tell you what happened this summer.

As you recall I was writing my thesis and studying for my last three exams. I finished my thesis sort of successfully and got a pass mark.
I studyied my arse off for the exams 1 and 2 and passed those as well.
Sadly I didn't pass the third one. I don't really know why but I guess I just didn't study enough.

The consequence of this lack of study is that I've failed my studies. All these years of toil and sacrifice for nothing. I will not get my diploma because I failed one exam (4 credits). Because I've been ill so often I've been studying too long. So thank you for spending so much time here, but you have to go.

I was devastated. Really schocked, upset, angry, frustrated and oh so sad. But somehow, I've come to terms with it in a way. I'm still all of the above but I've come to accept it. There's nothing I can do (believe me, I've tried lawyers and all) and so I'm just looking ahead.

I'm going to start seriously jobhunting soon. I've been busy with the Zurich Film Festival and... believe it or not - a boy.

On that cliffhanger I'll let you go. I'm at work now and also I don't want to give it to you all at once.

Hugs, S
