I am so...

I don't even... today marks another day in which I realize I am an old soul because apparently twenty-three is not considered old in the ways of both education and hobbies. MAN I can't believe I graduated nearly two years from Universtiy! I can't believe I've been into anime/manga for so long either! High School → College → stopped Graduate School ( Read more... )

Hahaha well thank you my dear... I'm truly flattered that my floundering seems more graceful than I often times feel it is. It probably does count for something... effort perhaps? Like Rock Lee and making his own luck kind of thing... WHO KNOWS?! (ーvー )ゞ (You would also be technically correct, the BEST KIND of correct, in this aspect as well. Since I've gotten older and had the pleasure to share a classroom setting with others of all ages, as I am sure you have too, you can't really judge the worth and or quality of someone's life based on when they decided to go to school/better themselves. Just because you're older doesn't make you any less entitled. Knowledge belongs to any age.)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN ENGLAND OMG AND IT'S SUNNY ahahahaha I thought it was always overcast? Totally jealous... щ(T﹏Tщ) There's supposed to be some crazy record breaking snow storm here in the US this week... like uh 25 inches or some crap. We'll see... enjoy the sun and more than likely nicer weather for me okay? AND DO WELL IN CLASS, DON'T BE LATE! I'm so proud of all my friends in college/graduate school... you guys me such a proud Papa, you know? (〃ω〃)ゞ

as long as you keep doing something, your effort will pay off! i have several friends who are in my same year of university and they're almost ten years my seniors. but before starting to study they had jobs and finally sorted themselves out enough to have a proper career direction. i mean! it's a bunch of reasons behind why someone chooses to study after so many years since they finished high school, and i don't know what my point is anymore! just keep up with the motivation and something will turn up, sooner or later. ♥

I AM DOING A SEMESTER OF MY ENGLISH+EDUCATION IN AN INTERNATIONAL SETTING DEGREE. i thought it was always overcast too! we get some cloudy days, but there's been just as many sunny days! i've seen the news and it does not look all too pretty for the united states right now. ;///; keep waaaaarm.

i'll make you prouder by knowing i passed all my classes (but one that i'm retaking sobs) with A grades, the highest in my year. hehehe

Heheh yeah, I hope so. I'd like to try to stay optimistic about it too so maybe...

WHAT, SINCE WHEN?! ALSO THIS SHOULD NOT BE SO HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE SINCE SOMETIMES WE BOTH HAVE A TENDENCY TO FALL OFF THE EDGE OF THE EARTH. Good thing it's round... Hahahaha well it's good to get study abroad experience, and if you don't have trouble being away from your home country and your family, etc. then more power to you! I'm going to seriously start applying for overseas teaching opportunities this coming fall/winter. I'm really hoping they work out, if not then it'll be time for plan c/d. Hahahaha not cloudy, wow... that's good though, I hope you're soaking it up for me. I'm gonna make an edit to my last entry and show of how big the plowed snow has gotten. IT WAS BIGGER THAN MY CAR FFFFshjskfhk11!; I'm trying real hard to stay warm, so no worries.

(9ಥзಥ)9 I... I'm so proud! I have no words! Keep up the good work! It's going to pay off! ♥

ADFJGSDF it's a long story!! i was doing business in 2009-2010, but it didn't work out for me. i was depressed, lonely, disappointed, upset with myself, etc, and i decided i needed to pick something closer to my strengths. there's not a lot of options in holland if you don't speak dutch (my case) ;__; so it was really hard to choose something to switch to. but i found this international degree (IDEE) being offered in amsterdam, in english, and with the benefit of heading off to england for one semester each year to do part of the study there. so since september 2010 i've been doing this--and it's been fantastic. thankfully i was able to start on my second year instead of going all the way back from year one, because since the english government is giving problems with the amount of funding they are giving for higher education IDEE will be canceled for students a year below me. PHEW?? alfkjsf i'm just feeling that this is the right track for me. u///u i can end up having a job as an english teacher in asia and proceed to finish learning mandarin or pick up japanese, then head back somewhere to do my masters in interpreting from western to eastern languages. that is really what i want to do ♥

it was hard to be away from family at the beginning, but promise that afterwards you don't feel that bad. sometimes homesickness can get to you, but i know that if i keep active and hanging out with friends and overall not trying to drive myself into a corner by feeling ~lonely, then it's alright. i get to see them during the summer holidays, anyway. :) and my kitties. I KIND OF MISS THE SNOW RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW? it's a bit odd for it to be this warm at this time of the year when i remember last year was waaay colder. but european winters have been notorious for not being that horribly cold in the past decade, except for last year and the blizzard we got in december.

xie xie! ;__; your support means a lot!!
