    Congrats, Jo!! That's quite a compliment!

    That is outstanding Silas. I assume this is a Doctoral thesis. What's it on, may I ask?

    And Jo, that's fabulous too. Love to see good work being done.

    Congratulations, PnB, for that one month of nicotene freedom! It is so difficult, so this is truly a day to celebrate! Yay!

    Silas, good luck on the field work inquiries. And that is awesome of finishing the 12,000 word thesis proposal. Wow!

    Good job on the mentoring, Joreads!

    yay Classic! Well done!



    I got 76% in my Lit oral today, which was the highest score. (even though another girl got the same score, and there's only 3 students in the class )

    Just got a letter that concerning my own university, they have chosen me for the Erasmus programme thingy in Grenoble, France. Well, I was the only candidate in my own faculty who wanted to go to Grenoble, but I am still feeling achieved.
    Now I just need that pesky approval of UJF. (Université Josepf Fourier)
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    Congrats to everybody for their accomplishments xD. We're all doing well, it seems.

    you bet so on my horse says:
    yeah, i figure that, you're super ****ing smart, i trust that you'd
    know better than to be a genuine whore

    good sir, you over estimate... ; ).

    you bet so on my horse says:
    nah, even when you were like 14 or something when i started talking to you i could tell you had this wisdom you don't find in regular people, a sense of adventure but along with it a sense of strict morals that nothing imposes except your own free will. what i was trying to convey i guess is that regardless of your actual age you could be 30 or 15, you're just you and i dig it

    Uh. Wow. I was incredibly flattered. xD
    Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

    I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

    Awww, BeccaT, must've been a nice convo!

    I got my official acceptance letter and Student ID number from la Universided de Puerto Rico for the Master's program I applied to on Monday; I'm going to Puerto Rico to earn a Master's and learn Spanish and French! XD

    Now I just gotta pray that I get some kind of financial aid and housing...
