Some close friends and family saw it coming, but I finally decided to stop studying. It's not that I'm no longer interested in physics, nor that I don't want to know more about it, but I can't bring myself to studying for exams anymore. I had a good time studying at the university and I have learned a lot over the past few years and I have met a lot of interesting people in this period, but it's time to go on and get to something else.
I've been looking around for the past few days, wondering which direction to take. I'm going back to working, that's for sure, but I have nearly endless possibilities. I can go back to my previous employer or the automation industry in general, but having gained some Linux, sysadmin and web development skills during the years I've spent at the university, I might as well apply for a job in that field as well.
I could look for a job in, or near, my hometown, but nothing is restricting me to go looking further, maybe even abroad.
Right now I'm looking what's available and feasible on the job market, in Belgium and abroad. I've started applying and probably will begin doing interviews soon. And I will continue to do so until I find a job that's best for me.
I'm not really in a hurry, so I can take my time evaluating the opportunities I come by and choose the most interesting one.

Calculus
Tomorrow at this time the first part of my first exam will come to an end. Hopefully I will be able to fill out the right answers. I've been preparing for this exam for the last three weeks and feel like I know some of it, but it's a very hard course.
Nearly 200 pages full of mathematical formulas and principals, including proof of all statements that are made. On average there is a statement with proof on every page throughout the whole textbook. This means a little less than 200 statements with proof that I must be able to reproduce tomorrow.
Although I feel confident I will be able to produce some of the most important ones, I'm not sure about a whole lot of other statements.
Unfortunately the exam consists of two parts. The theoretical part is tomorrow in the afternoon, the second part consist of excercises and is scheduled the day after in the morning. It is a good thing to have some time between both parts, where I can review some excercises. But it's also a very long time where pressure will start build.
With less than 24 hours to go I'm going to review the most important statements again, in order to be prepared as good as possible.
