It's out.

I finally got my minor thesis result: 84%. It's an H1, but I must confess I was hoping for higher, in order to boost my chances of getting a scholarship.

I'm not sure what to feel right now. On the one hand, I'm rather disappointed, of course, and worried about my scholarship chances. But OTOH, part of me is just really relieved it's OVER.

Today actually wasn't a bad day. My new decants arrived (I got Divine L'Homme Sage, Mazzolari Patchouly, Serge Lutens Encens et Lavande, and Lorenzo Villoresi Alamut). Tomorrow (today, I guess), I was planning to buy L'Artisan Fleur d'Oranger, but spending this kind of money on a perfume is going to make me feel rather guilty when I'm not even sure if I can fund my ambition. OTOH, I could do with some consolation!

I've drafted an e-mail to TM, should send it now and see what he has to say.

Ok, sent. In it, I admitted that without a scholarship, I might have to rethink the whole notion of doing a PhD, and truly, I think this is an option that deserves careful consideration. I shouldn't be so fixated on the idea, and not consider what else I can do with my life. In any case, a careful plan for the next 5 years or so is what I need now.
