Good Things, Bad things & A Ticket To The Sun

09 Sep 2005

This morning I went to school to find out about the results of the ten exams I’ve been doing between the 17th of august and the 1st of september. I made it ! I’m going to the next and final year of my studies of interactive marketing. Nothing to redo, only new stuff to come. I’ve swept it off with a overall total of 65%. And yes. I could’ve done better I know. I’d like to thank all the teachers that believed in me during the deliberation. So : thanx, really appreciate it and I’ll try to improve myself next year (too).

This also means my school related temp job at i-merge can kick off for real now. No more maybies (?) no more buts. Time to build up something.

On another note : I crashed my mom’s car a bit today. It started drifting when I was making a U-turn and it doesn’t have the ABS thing to control the breaks automatically. Pumping didn’t work. It happened so fast, yet so slow. I was doing 10 miles and hour or something, but there was a construction thing going on right around the corner and the street was filled with very fine white sand. The tires just lost their grip and the car just ’skated’ sideways. Man ! That’s gonna cost me. The hood, the bumper and the radiator frame were dented, one of the lights is broken. It still works though, but it looks crappy. I felt really ridiculous. The little pole I bumped into didn’t have the slightest scratch on it and the people that were drinking on a terrace nearby said : ‘We haven’t seen anything, just drive along ! Nothing’s broken, we’ll shut up.’ But I didn’t trust them for a penny, so I called the cops myself. I don’t want to come home from Mallorca with some cops looking for me because I fled the scene of an accident. Even if no one’s hurt, you still should report it. It’s common sense.

So my mom wasn’t too pleased when I told her what happened. It’s going to cost me a few hundred Euros I think, but we’ll see. Maybe we can find a way through the insurance or something. I don’t know. I’ll let my dad figure that out. That’s one of the things he’s very good at : finding fitting solutions. He’ll come up with something. I have good faith in that.
Despite the small accident, both my parents were very happy I made it to the third year, and since it’s the first time I had an accident in the few years I’m driving the car, they’re not too pissed off at me. Thank God for that. Otherwise the vacation-mood would have melted away in the sun I ‘m heading for.

In four hours my plane takes off to Mallorca. I’m going to tune out for a fat week :)
Thanx a lot for tuning in. If you’re bored and looking for videos to see, check out the YouTube post I made recently and go have a blast.
