Christmas Cardigan and Blue Checks


dress, boots: Pimkie
cardigan: New Look
beret: vintage
tights, socks, gloves: H&M


Exciting things have been happening in my life recently. Apart from the fact that I feel super swell about my dissertation, am sort of stress-less for the first time in months due to NOT postponing things for ages (srsly great tip if you don't want to spazz out just before a deadline! EUREKA) and Christmas is just around the corner, another cool thing came my way. 

The super nice professor of my favorite course this semester contacted me because I had impressed him with my knowledge during class-debates (yes I am a total nerd). He told me he wanted to be my mentor and guide me towards getting a scholarship to pursue a doctors degree and become a real scientist and shiz! I'm super duper excited about this. I don't know why, but I never seriously contemplated it before but now this option has come to my attention as a real possibility, I suddenly feel like this is the way I need to go, my destination in life.

Excuse me while I keep rambling on about this, but how awesome would it be to be paid to do the thing I enjoy most: acquiring knowledge? It sounds like a dream. Too good to be true? I don't know, I just know I'm thankful.

  6. Gefeliciteerd dat je mag gaan doctoreren! En ik heb een paar weken geleden de perfecte "Christmas Cardigan" zien hangen bij T2. Groen met sparkly tekeningen vol kerst- en sneeuwmannetjes! Spijtig genoeg was hij echt veel te groot :(. Die van jou is anders wel een leuk alternatief!

  17. Wauw, proficiat! Ga je voor een FWO, dan? Tof dat je prof je wil steunen, dat maakt naar het schijnt een wereld van verschil. Inderdaad een droomjob - toen ik ging studeren was dat met een doctoraat in het achterhoofd, maar daarvoor was ik als student toch heel wat te lui. :) Kudos dat je inzet wordt opgemerkt!

  18. yep, FWO! ik denk dat ik het geluk heb het perfecte evenwicht te kunnen vinden tussen lui zijn en er toch genoeg uithalen :D dankjewel!

  19. Wow, that IS awesome news! At once, this happened to me as well, but I was just at first year of university and I had so many exams in front of me... That I let the train pass away, and never kept it, it was too late, at the end. If you think it's what you really want to do, it's your time, just do it! Studying and acquiring knowledge is the best thing :)
    Good luck!!!
