So, how was the confirmation?
My weekend was good. It was also lazy but it was cold so we remained all cozy and we also watched a match for the Copa America, which is like the Eurocopa. Our national team was already classified to the next round, so there was less emotion, but it was still fun to watch it.

It was good. We were so lucky the weather forecast was not entirely correct. It didn't start to rain until the late afternoon and there was also only a small amount of wind, so we could sit outside until about 5 and eat the cakes. The temperature was perfect for that. Not too hot and not too cold.
Mini got a lot of money and art supplies. The money she put in an envelope to safe for her driving licence which tends to be very expensive here. About thrice of what I paid in my youth. Crazy. But better to have one to be more flexible when looking for a job later. Not only in terms of location but also because there are lots of jobs that require a driving licence. She doesn't know what to do yet, but there still are two years left to decide. And maybe she wants to go to school longer and do some bachelors or another degree afterwards.
LOL, I just remembered meeting an old friend from school after the exams who told me that he didn't yet know what to do for a living and wanted me to consider studying business management like himself. Then I would have more time to decide what I wanted to do and even if I couldn't decide, I could still find great jobs in that area.
But I said, why would I want that. I already knew years ago what I want to do and I am doing exactly that, and he was shocked, because he could not imagine how I did it. And I was shocked because I could not imagine how one could not know what to do at the age of 21.
Dina:
I am so glad Mini's confirmation was good, that you all could enjoy it, and that she received money and good things.
I do not drive, so I have not idea how expensive is the driving license here, but I am pretty sure is not too much. I am sure it is nothing to save for 2 years. So you really surprised me. I had never even considered money as a factor on getting a license.
Well, hopefully Mini is happy with her savings right now.
The last part. Mm, for me is a mix. I knew some things I wanted to do, but not others. For example, by 17 I knew I was going to follow a degree on something science related. I knew I was never going to be a medicine doctor or a veterinarian. I could not stomach any of them (the pain, the sadness, I do not mean the gross parts). At 21, of course, I was studying biology and I knew that was what I wanted. But I did not know what I wanted to do specifically. What to study, or where. But well, life happens and shows you the path :)

That's what I meant. One knows the kind of direction one wants to go. But some don't even know the direction.
We are watching the football game Germany vs Spain. Or should I say soccer?
Enjoying Nico Williams' hair. No score yet.
Edit: Spain won. Damn.
Dina:
Please, do not say soccer. I've been posting "football (soccer)" here for years, so I am glad when someone else says football.
I am sorry, I was rooting for you guys. We always respect Germany, but Spain, not so much. Since their World Cup we think they are too full of themselves.
