Shit is getting real! 

I remember around six month ago I explained Marc in my skype interview that my skateboard would be the one thing I would take with me from planet earth, in case of  an alien kidnapping. Not even 5 weeks later I sat next to Marc washing down a shot glass of finest polish vodka after my 4 minute presentation and a 9 week alcohol abstinence. (Yes, I fast realised this schools isn’t for mummy’s darling.) Right now I am sitting next to my mac book waiting for my scholarship application to be uploaded and converted and I am starting to realise:

Because nobody gets the idea what a school without exams, degrees or any kind of German precision really is should be good for. I think the first lesson that I already learned is: 

When you don’t have this inner drive to spend your mom’s annual income on a 10 months course instead of a 10 months bag packer trip across Australia (except your name is Timothy Ferriss and you manage to work 4 hours a week with a 40 k monthly income)  you simply do not belong here.
