Cool Marketing Thoughts

Okay. I failed one exam back in January. In the Belgian system, you can come a few points short, and the exam council can decide to let you pass anyway. Well, in my case it wasn’t quite possible, so I figured I had to redo it in August. But since I started working already, that would be a problem, because I can’t be employed full-time and at the same time be a student.

It would be great if I could sign up ‘for real’ at i-merge (where I work now, as a student) in July and still be graduated, instead of having to wait until the end of August or the beginning of September. So I sent an email to the exam council and asked if I could redo the test in June. I didn’t hear from them for a while, and I figured it’d be an August kind of thing.

Well today at at 4 PM while I was at work, I received a phone call and they said I could redo the exam. Saturday morning at 9 AM. That’s 36 hours from now, not counting any sleep. The book for this subject (governmental communication) is 280 pages. The course is about 80 or 90 pages. Ummm.

On the one hand I like it if they try to help me graduate in June instead of in August. Really. On the other hand I think they should’ve called me sooner.

This kind of means the blogging will be low. I’ll post something in the morning, and something when I take a break. I’ll be back on full speed somewhere on Saturday.
