2024-01-08 at 4:32 PM UTCI have an entrance exam later this week. It's in a completely different city, one I've never been to before.
-
2024-01-08 at 4:33 PM UTCI haven't studied for it either. I'm confident I can ace it without studying for it.

2024-01-08 at 4:33 PM UTCthere's always seminary school
also known as a madrassa, or something -

Speaking of madrassas (Islamic religious schools), Geert Wilders proposed three new anti-Islamic laws, one of them being imprisonment of six months for visiting a mosque.
I couldn't stop laughing. -

Men are prone to being overconfident when it comes to exams and then they don't do as well as they hoped. Women are underconfident but do better. Sociology facts. So study every day. -

I'm serious
maybe this is Gods way of telling you that school is gay and to grow a beard and become a religious head instead. I've been considering it but all the denominations are weirdos -

even if you do get a degree in a field you don't really care about you're going to have a hard time getting a 'good job' at 30+ with no experience, and I assume monstrous debt -

Fair enough! However, in hindsight, I think I worded it poorly, it's not something one can memorize per se, it's something you need to practice. And I haven't practiced. I'm kind of excited, to be honest. I have to get up really early, 6:30 am at the latest, if I want to make it on time. I'm expected to be there by 9:30 am. Traveling alone takes over 2 hours. I've never been to that city ever before, I think it's part of the charm and hence why I'm excited. -

I'm kind of knowledgeable on religious matters but I barely even pray myself. I am not the right person for that. -

I get what you're saying but they're actually desperately looking for more people in this occupation I'm studying for. They've spent over three decades trying to invest in this sector in the hopes of growing it but things have not been going their way. I'm actually doing the government a favor and I think that's why they're turning a blind eye to it all, knowing it's worth it in the end. And, yes, I'll be 32 when I finally get my degree (if I don't die before that, that is!).
