After i knew that i was gonna make it in June, i actually wanted to go on with the master's programme at the same university, one called Film and Television sciences. When i was accepted and had an introduction in July, i decided that the programme was shit on a stick and i didn't want to go through with it (like i have written in an earlier post called "Life under construction").
For now, i'm just working some extra shifts at the part-time job i have now for over 4 years. It's a gift shop in the centre of Leiden and the people i work with a real good friends, but lately it seems that i have to find something new. But for now, i don't want to think too much about future careers. I just want to relax and save some money for a trip.
I stumbled across a master's programme at the University of Amsterdam, though, called "Preservation and presentation of the moving image". I immediately was psyched, because what it entails is really one of the things that has interested me in my bachelor's programme. To work in an archive or a museum is one thing, to organize a film festival another, but these are two things i would really like to do as a professional (next to doubling my fortune to a couple of million dollars ofcourse).
Since only 15 students are accepted per year, it will be hard to apply. Still, i want to give it a shot, and in the meantime i'll search for other master programmes and other jobs.
