Getting to know you~~

[cowshed]

It occurred to me recently that I've gained a few new followers! Now, as a general rule and to keep life easier for me, I don't like to use LJ as a personal blog. I'm really only here for the fandoms. But I guess that if you're following me, you are interested in what's going on in my life/ want to stalk me/ are a cool kid, so what the hay! I

The haircut is a really good look for you. Always glad to know you're still alive!

[cowshed]

Haha, and the same to you, sir! And thank you. :3 I'm happy with my haircut, too. :3

Hmmm, I could ask some SUPER EVASIVE QUESTIONS! *Shifty eyes*

What was your Masters in? Assuming I can understand the American way of things (all that majoring and minoring and going to school and graduating without a degree while at real school and wotnot. It's all just plain freaky and makes me twitch whenever an internet person says "I'm at school" cos makes me think they're 12 years old or summat, school in the UK is for kids!)

Also, you don't have a beard and an eyepatch - this is a gross oversight.

[cowshed]

Haha alright, let's see if I can sort this one out for you! :D

School is a fun required activity until you're 18. About that age you graduate from Required Public Schooling and you're An Adult. Then you can go on to University where you'll get a degree after four years of study in a dedicated subject. That's your undergraduate degree. THEN you can go on and get even MORE EDUCATED: you can get a degree to practice medicine/sugery/etc and that's a whole long line of schooling. You can get a PhD after even more time!! Or you can just go back for a couple more years of specified education and training and get a Master's Degree. So I've had 6 years of course and education at the university level, and my Master's degree is in Medical Illustration.

And nooo no beard nor eyepatch. I'm a sham! :

But why do Americans say they're at school when they're at Uni? That's just plain confusing!

(As it happens, you have no idea how hilariously ironic your comment is.)

[angerfish]

lol part of it's because colleges and universities are separate things in America at least (nooo idea about other countries, come to think of it.) I'd have gotten funny looks back in the day if I said "I'm at my university right now" because my college wasn't a university.

language, why are you weird

[angerfish]

Did you get maester's chain = master's degree from meeeee did you did you?

[cowshed]

Yes and no. My friends, who are also all ASOIAF fans had referred to it before (as well as me having a Degree Baby and asking how many months left until I was due), and then I had a good chuckle when I saw it on your blog. So I threw it in there. c: c: c:

[angerfish]

Excellent!

Excellent, indeed!

THANK YOU FOR SUPPLYING.

[cowshed]

OH HI. :D Haha I felt bad that after so long in the comms I didn't really feel like I /knew/ anyone. I mean, I have a sense of who writes write and who draws this or that and what house everyone is in, but I guess I just decided to start really trying to meet people. c: So! Here we are.

THANK YOU!!! <3 I'm very happy with my haircut. It was long overdue. :3
