26

Not many posts since last year’s. Still reeling from the blow from Google. Should I play the disgruntled employee and dig up teh gossip? Or give it the self-help spin and pretend it was all a wonderful tale with a lesson to learn? Won’t do neither. It all feels too much like dragging myself down to a dirty little world I came to despise.

Let’s just say I’m heading back to the Academy.

As I write this I just completed 26, and also just completed the final exam for a position in the São Paulo University staff. I honestly can’t say whether I performed well enough. Should I succeed, I’ll be in an uniquely convenient place to dual-class employee/student. Should I fail… I’ll dual-class anyway.

Society keep saying I can’t/shouldn’t/mustn’t do it. Society doesn’t know shit.

Yes, it’s hard. But I’ll keep trying.

Edit: a winnar is me‼ (just barely though)
