I have said goodbye to the Embassy now. I am gonna miss my good colleagues and the great work environment at the office. The outcries of "Hai-oohh" and "Come on LAaa!!" and "Juliiie, do me a favourrrr - Juliieeeee coooome". The work is really being done in the office. Chineese/Danish efficiency and "direct-ness".
Next is setting up the structure for my thesis and get into the work - all the paperwork with CBS, all the back and forth with finding thesis counsellor, student job, moving back into my apartment. Then study, work, write study, work,write for six or seven month. Kinda looking forward to it... no, totally looking forward to it actually! Looking forward to become a audio branding expert.
But before next step; the vacation void where I am neither or. "Where did you come from, where are you going?" - the two inevitable questions of backpacking life. Always somewhere between A and B.
Instead of answering "from KL, Medan, Toba, Bukit Lawang" or " to Pulau Weh, KL, DK" I should answer "from Internship at the Embassy" and "to Master Thesis student in Audio Branding".
One must be carefull with comparisons as two situations are never alike, however, here is a small comparison I find relevant; between Thailand and Malaysia I needed a month off to find myself in my new "shoes" and to get in line (so to speak) with my choises. Even then I had a hard time adjusting to and accepting the situation. Now, on the other hand - between Malaysia and Denmark - I feel ready, hungry and a bit impatient to begin the choices I have made for the next year.
This "in between" only exist in my mind because Im already started my thesis month ago in my head and now Im only waiting to physically be at the same place. I have thought about this comparison to last year and I think the conclusion is that time is never linear. Its never A, then B, the C. Things overlap, loop or jump steps.There is no such thing as an End and a new Beginning. We only chop things into steps like that to be able to grasp the complexity of time.
- Time is invented to prevent things from happen all at once. (unknown)
