RE: Cherry Blossoms from Heaven?
Hahaha! Thanks for visiting again @oleg326756. You are again the 7th commenter on this post. Congratulations. You are right that your pictures will look better in Korea and the internet is faster.
But the weather changes here too. It is not dreary but suddenly the wind blew in all the factory dust from across the Yellow Sea. I got an alert from the government saying to avoid going outside and wear a mask.
This afternoon pollution reached 352 parts per million. It should be like 20 parts per million to breath but normally 80 parts per million. Anything over 100 tastes bad.
My point is the weather changes with the wind.
There is good and bad and the flowers are here yesterday and already gone now.
Everything changes, it’s the only constant truth… But wow: 352 ppm air particulates pollution! That’s crazy! Do you also need to have some kind of protection for your eyes, aside from the mask?
I’m heading to Finland as we speak, crossing the Baltic Sea on a huge ferry boat. Most people here are drinking, dancing, singing karaoke and partying. While I’m taking a short break from my online course in “Academic Writing in English” to read through replies to my comments and to reply to them in turn. But they promise us sunny weather in Helsinki on Sunday, so I hope to enjoy the outdoors and take some pictures for my upcoming post about the trip.
Earlier today I learnt that I got a place number 268 on the reserve list for international MBA in Finance at Lund University. The programme only takes 89 students each year, so my chances of being accepted are very slim. Well, at least I made it to the bottom of the reserve list, haha! :D I’ll try my chances at a similar (but less prestigious) programme at the University of Jönköping in Central Sweden, called “International Financial Analysis”. I will know if I got accepted sometimes by the end of May, I think.
Stay safe in that smog!
Update: okay, I did take a break after 1.5 hours of peer-reviewing assignments written by other course participants. I went to a club and listened to live music performance on stage (a Bulgarian band with a rather varying and eclectic selection of popular songs), while nursing my piña colada. Good times… And then it was bedtime! :)
Don't give up. Try other options. Thanks for the reply. I will check out your post.
Now it is morning in Europe. Get some rest my friend. I am praying for you. I'm glad you can take it all in collectively with reflection. If there is no place in a good MBA program the send me a discord message. I think I can help. @mineopoly365groovy
Thank you, my friend! I will, I promise. Just gotta wait for the next programme’s selection results first. And I’m currently talking with three Blockchain tech companies to see if there might be a place and a role for me on their teams. I’m actually meeting one of them tomorrow in Helsinki. Thank you for including me in your prayers! <3
