The Aftermath. What to do after graduation?
"
After years of studying abstract mathematics and music, I had no idea what I should do after my graduation.
Should I become a consultant or a composer? I was shocked to learn that I might had to work for 60 hours a week,
losing all my time I could also have been composing. That's why I quickly wrote a piano piece, then at least
that one is in the pocket. The result is a vertiginous ride expressing all graduation emotions.
