It is so GORGEOUS in Stockholm right now. It's like summer outside and the sun is shining.
Which makes it such a drag that it is the end of the semester and I have a ton of school work to finish up on. Next week is my big presentation week at Stockholm University (we are required to present some visual example of our exhibition at SU, even if we chose to complete our master's exhibition project elsewhere.) Thankfully, we pushed the opening date of my little show at Moderna Museet back a few weeks to accommodate the heavy conservation required in the Siri Derkert show. So it is now June 11, my friends. And a tentative Family Day workshop (where kids & parents get to make their own artists' books!) on Sunday June 12!
Still got the thesis to contend with, and I am actually seriously contemplating extending my school time a bit to finish it! I am supposed to complete the thing May 24 to defend and graduate by June 9, but it is just not going to happen. So, along with 80% of my class, I may not defend until August. It is not a huge impact otherwise, 'cause I still plan to finish that sucker as soon as possible (I want to *enjoy* my summer!) But it does leave some uncertainty. Uggg. Stu will finish mid-June as planned.
We have had some pretty exciting things come up recently (sorry, can't spill just yet) but the bottom line is we still don't know for sure whether we will stay in Sweden or move back to the States. Talk about uncertainty, our self-imposed deadline of mid-May to choose WHAT COUNTRY we'll live in is fast approaching! And Stu & I actually can't agree! We are usually on the same page with these 'big life decisions.' I guess we'll see...anybody want to hire a librarian/curator/collections manager or perhaps a management/strategy/operations consultant? You won't be sorry you did!

I can totally sympathize. My boyfriend is finishing his university in Malmo in June, and I've been so rah-rah-USA for the last eight months that he has his mind totally set on it. Now I'm having second thoughts... and third... and backtracking on my second thoughts and going back to the USA mania... and now I'm just totally confused. Good luck deciding!
ReplyDeleteI think studying Master degree can really take a lot of quality time, but after if you would know that it is all worth it. But, it would be a good idea to manage the time properly because it can be a big thesis help that would balance your time. You can have time to work on your thesis, while still have time for other things you want to do.
