Things are looking up

For a while there I thought I would have to quit the program, because I was sure I had failed the math exam, and was afraid I would fail a re-exam too.
Turns out I worried my ass off for nothing (as is usually the case).

I needed 42 out of 100 points to pass, and was afraid I would not make that mark. But as it turns out I got 65/100 points! Might not sound like a lot, but to me it feels great!

So now I am back in business and feel confident that I wont get kicked out of the program any time soon. Which is nice, cause I like it here.

Gothenburg is a very rainy city though...

Anyway, the past couple of days have been pretty chill and I have had time to do things other than studying, which has been nice. So today I started looking into stocks again, since I really want to start trying to get into it as soon as possible. Even if I can only save a small amount each month, I think it would probably be good to do so in stocks or the likes.
Then when I finally get a job I can really get in to it and save lots of money and hopefully make lots of profit. The goal is to be a millionaire before 40, but since I am a pessimist I wont make any promises that the goal will be reached.

Since I moved to Gothenburg I have realized that a lot of young people are dealing with stocks, which is kind of unexpected to me since before coming here, I didn't know anyone apart from myself remotely interested in saving money by using stocks and funds.
Turns out though that there are many young people out there who are already saving up for their future! A friend agreed to help me get started with it, and I will keep doing research on my own.

If you choose to buy stocks you choose yourself what companies you want to invest in, which is interesting. I thought I would invest in Tesla in the future, just because I like Tesla. And Elon Musk seems cool.
Not sure if it's a good decision but we will see.

On a sad note I am also wondering if investing in weapon companies would be a good idea, since it kinda feels like world war 3 could be around the corner considering the rise of far rightwing nationalism happening in pretty much every country in the world...
As a pacifist though, this feels counter intuitive.
Too depressing? Sorry.

Lets not talk about depressing things! Like I said, things are looking up! Not on a worldwide scale, but on a personal life scale.
I passed the exam, I made some tasty pasta sauce with anchovies, I finsihed a nice drawing, I just made a Java GUI using JavaFX, the limited edition polka chocolate is back in stores again, I got to see the new Thor movie.

Oh yea, I just remembered another bad thing. We got a bad teammate in our group for our school projects... kinda sucks. The teammate is a nice person but not at all good at groupwork. If I could stand up for myself and the group I might kick him out. Instead I am just waiting for the truly very slim possibility that the person might show theirself out.
