Between studies

What a fascinating time, it's unimaginable unless you've experienced itself.
Back in February, I decided to quit my study at the University of Nijmegen. I studied British Language & Culture for little over 6 months, and I sincerely regret the time I've wasted trying to understand and apply the hard aspects of language study, phonetics and literature. At the start of the study I was optimistic, as I have jumped over every past educational hurdle carelessly. But I underestimated the study.
The first subjects thrown at us were fairly simple to follow, do your studying, do your 'homework', and be present during college hours, and we'd do fine. The subjects after the first period, however, became a serious nuisance from my perspective. Heavy literary debates about what Dickens meant with certain parts of his books aren't exactly the things I value, and phonetics becoming harder and harder to follow, I decided to drop out, even though I had never imagined to be the person that would do so.
Now, I'm waiting for the right study to come along, and it's called Game Design. Being one of my favourite ways to spend my time, level design is slowly becoming part of my life, and making sure it'll be part of my working life as well only comforts me.
The freedom one experiences when in between studies is enormous, especially if one doesn't have to take care of him/herself, financially.
