He's insufferable! How could he say such things? I just can't even [legible if you squint]

School is going well. My course load is quite heavy, I've found. I will continue to [pause and some big droplets] to do my best.

I can't believe how much homework I've been assigned recently. Over the past couple of years at the Alchemy Academy my professors simply checked in on my research and awarded me a grade for my progress. It's strange to have actual assignments again. The biology classes are fascinating, as is the psychology class I sit in on. To think that all of ( Read more... )

It's good to have my journal back. So much has happened over the year and yet it feels like no time has passed at all. How funny! I am doing well and I hope everyone has had a very pleasant year!

I wonder who I should tell... Oh! I almost forgot!

Happy Birthday, Terre! 29 already!

I think [pause] I have reached a block in my research... My theoretical knowledge of biology has all but run out and dissections haven't proved to be very helpful. Vivisection... No, I couldn't do such a thing.

I suppose I'll have to set aside my project for a while.

It's official. I have been accepted as a transfer student to the Sage Academy. The request was filed too late for me to go this year, so I will attend the fall quarter next year. Hopefully, my biology classes will allow me to verify some of my calculations with testing.

It will be strange living in Schwarzwald on my own.

I'll be returning to Al de Baran soon. I forget when classes resume but I can't afford to miss the first day. And, truth be told, I wasn't quite sure how long my research could be left alone for and now I'm beginning to worry. Still... I can't help but feel like giving it all up.I'm getting to be too sentimental. I can't imagine what I'll be like ( Read more... )

Ayothaya, it's... everything I hoped it would be. My family was very excited to see me after all this time. It's quite funny how little things have changed over so many years. Chet teased me about my accent, he said I spoke Ayothayan like a foreigner now. He still loves to give me a hard time. My nieces are so beautiful. I held little Vanida for ( Read more... )

Oh, it's nice to be home. Juno was wonderful but I think, if I'm accepted, that it will take me some time to get used to it. Everything was so lovely~ On my next visit I'll be sure to spend more time in the Monster Museum; it was almost shocking, some of the creatures they have in there ( Read more... )

I arrived in Juno this morning and... it is quite an overwhelming city. Everything is so... well, overwhelming. I am... overwhelmed. And slightly lost, I think. Every time I ask for directions I just seem to get even more lost. [long pause] I passed the library about ten minutes ago and now I'm near an L-shaped building. Oh dear ( Read more... )

I hadn't expected to hear back from the Sage Academy so soon! Well, it's not exactly a letter of acceptance, but they asked me to come to Juno for an interview. I do hope I make a good impression... I'm so nervous... I really don't know what to do with myself! It's silly, getting... giddy because of school ( Read more... )
