Two years later, in the middle of a class held by the company whose founder goddamn created the instant ramen, I bring you the continuation of Lavi and Kanda growing up together.

hello! lavenderscarf January 4 2017, 23:05:50 UTC

Late happy new year! Hope school and activities and volunteering and researching and family and health have all been good! I was going to reply to your previous reply much earlier, but the end of last year was just a hot mess for me, and at this point none of that is timely anymore, so. :p (Where are you hanging out online nowadays? I don't really social media, but I could keep up with anything you post about if it's somewhere anon comments are allowed =) Oh dear, I should really just get LINE to work, shouldn't I?)

HAPPY NEW YEAR BAAAAAAAAAAAABE. i love how random our replies to each other are, but it's 2017 and we're still in touch and that is so damn good to me ;) school has been ??? this semester is a fucking nightmare but i handed in the first draft of my research proposal to my teacher and it went down okay? yeah. hope you're doing betterrrrrr. do you want a new year's caaaaard.

i'm on tumblr reblogging dumbshit under andthensomelion, and i'm on archive of our own under whaleofatime. as a general rule, tho, if you hit me up here you're gonna keep reaching me <3 <3 <3

I like how you think! 2017 is pretty awesome already because you’re around! <333 Eeeek, fingers crossed for you that the semester is a manageable nightmare, but yay for the research proposal!!!! (In my personal experience with research proposals, I’ve found the couple of things that usually hold true are: 1) don’t sweat perfecting the draft overly much because it’ll prolly look completely different once the professor’s done anyways, and 2) if it comes back with no changes and vague assurances about “oh no, it’s great, just perfect, it’s almost done, etc.”, the professor probably never even read it and there’ll likely be a whole bunch of pre-deadline last minute editing going on once they do…) (And the few times where they never did read it and just told me to submit, it didn’t really go over well with the review committees, so! All in all, it sounds like your proposal is in pretty good shape and right where it needs to be ( ... )

few things are so satisfying as long-lasting relationships hella full of affection, so i for one sure can't complain. the proposal came back with suggestions for further clarification, but not a whole lot of criticism. then again, i'm only gonna start my final year in april, so maybe the teacher isn't taking it too seriously yet. i keep losing my head and adding bits and pieces to it, resulting in way the fuck more things i want to do than could reasonably be done by one person, but here we are ( ... )

(Welp, the US has officially gone crazier. I feel like I need to have a stash of different protest signs ready-made up so I can be ready to just grab the one I need and head out to whatever protest is closest ( ... )

I'm not sure what the master's programs in, say, Japan would be like (if they'd be similar to the Taiwanese system or not so much), but for the master's programs here in the US (all of this is "from what I've heard" type things, I'm afraid, 'cause I didn't do one here) you would still have to pay your own tuition, but most of the programs here in the US are really stupidly expensive (I believe the thought is to try and make back some money from the master's programs that gets lost in running the PhD programs or funding departmental research/other things). I know of a couple master's programs for the biomed sciences that will have either a research-oriented track, where you take coursework and have a thesis research project, for people who plan to go on and do things where bench or other research experience would be useful, or a more coursework oriented track, which I assume would give you a really good overview of scientific literature ( ... )

(LJ, your comment limits are really annoying...)

Haha, I have no idea, but who knows what might be a reference nowadays :p There's so many common phrases that I didn't even know were supposed to be references until someone said so, and then I promptly forgot what they were references to :p. Gimme your email or hit me up at festivesplinters at hotmail dot com, and we can exchange addresses and Valentine's Day cards! =D
