The General Chit Chat Thread

So what are your plans after this?

Uni or college in the fall?

That's what I've been asking myself for the few past years xD ...  ... but well, either something to do with graphics/drawing or my lovely languages. I pretty much suck at everything else. And if things don't work out here, I'm trying out for this.

I found doing Illustration at uni killed it for me. Being forced to draw isn't fun. Graphic Design is great though

[FeelGood-kun]

I dunno a lot of my friends force me sometimes to do their bidding and I don't mind that; too much anyway. Either way, I'm pretty much leaning towards languages, since I'm worried I'm fit only for lazy hobby-pace with the drawing cuz of my hand. Currently seeing if extra calcium intakes shall have any effect in the long run...

Wow, if you can get the money for Kyoto I'm going to be cheering for you. That'd be awesome.

Graphics is a BAD choice currently, there are no jobs there. It's oversaturated. Languages sound cool, I know a guy who studied chinese and has been in china for 8 months to finish his studies for the last year.

[kurandoinu]

Depends what country you're in. A lot of last years graduates from my uni are in design studios already.

Inorite?   to be able to learn Japanese in it's own native country... and in Kansai, too. Man I long to go there again :/

And languages... what I really just wanna do is learn to properly read the hardest kanjis... with that, I'd be able to just apply without a care in the world for some of the stuff the publishing companies like Shueisha post on their specific magazine sites. Like manga assistant jobs...

Maybe if I send an application a hundred times I'll be considered too fucking adamant and they'll let me in even if I know jackshit about reading the language, haha~

[JoonasTo]

Sorry to break your dreams but to go to study in Kyoto, you have to pass the language test first. But if you do, then you'd get a scholarship to pay all the school fees.

Why do I know?
I checked that too.

Well duh which is why if something goes wrong with my other applications, I'll just work until the end of the year while learning some more and apply for the scholarship from the embassy in the beginning of next year~

 I mean, it's not as if I suck majorly in the speaking/hearing section, but the reading is a little sticky... can read mangas pretty well, but that's far as it goes. Newspapers must still be accompanied with dictionaries  

[JoonasTo]

If you decide to go for it. I'm cheering for you. 

What the heck, we only live once, right?
Start some part time job and study japanese the rest of the time!

[1000mAh]

Guess what I borrowed from my local library!

...Azumanga Daioh The 5 cm Think one, In English You gotta love our local library, there is hordes of manga in Finnish & in English + There is quite a lot of anime DVDs

Thanks :3

And yeah~ we'll see how this all goes in the end, though but 頑張りましょう！

@100mAh...

I think I must go and find the anime because of you now... xD the words "Azumanga Daiou" invoked some distant memories of reading that and some of that might or might not be an super duper ass-whoppingly annoying OP...

[BrownMasterV]

Ugh, one of the many disadvantages of not having your own place is that parents will completely rearrange your room without telling you and leave it up to you to find everything that is now lost ;-;

At least my computer setup looks a lot better, though it's going to take a looooong time to get used to my second monitor being on the left instead of the right.

Oh and my bed has completely changed orientation now, so it's probably going to take an extra hour for me to fall asleep tonight.

I hate change.

[kurandoinu]

...So glad I don't live at home. Although my mum would never move my furniture without consulting me and my sister while we were there.

33 of 64 pages of this booklet done. Gonna try and get the rest done tomorrow...

[BrownMasterV]

Reinstalled Far Cry 2 and was reunited with a friend I haven't seen in 2 years! We nostalgia'd hard.

They gave me credit for the subject that I am meant to be doing now. I argued with them for 20mins today that they were wrong but they didn't change it so whatever. One less subject for me to do.

[JoonasTo]

Your parents rearrange your rooms? Better yet, when you were away?
Sacrilegeous. Just something you don't do. It's screams disrespect. It's your room, they've violated it and they've violated your basic rights. I'd be waging a fucking war if that happened to me.

You indians are weird.
