Lahti

where I had the entrance exam and interview back to the program. There were I think about 60 trying to get in. And I asked how many they can take and they said that almost every seat is already taken by the students that are already in the program, but will just change the course (there's 3 ways to study). They asked how many applying now, could do it daily. Like go to school 5 days a week. I can't. I need to work so I can make ends meets. 

I got the feeling that they didn't have any space really left. So I feel a bit cheated of my time. 

If I can't get in now, that's okay. I'll just continue living like I do now and try to get in later. Perhaps in few months some openings for the apprenticeship will appear. Who knows. I have time. But I need to be able to work while I study. If I was young and lived with my parents, it would be different. Our government stopped all these supports and aids for adult students from the first of this year. Even for those who had already started and were depending on that support to get by. 

The government did give a big tax cut for people who earn most. So... Yeah. 

Anyway. Life continues.
