You and Xaven are both physics/math majors! Neat.

Two out of twenty beats me one out of twenty something. I hope it works out! Connecticut sounds nice, though it's no Florida.

Fellow sociologist! *high five.* I hope you're not one of them functionalists, or worse, sociobiologists, though!

Does anyone even get hired as a sociologist anymore?

Not necessarily a bad thing.

Shlup, you missed Momiji through to Chloe in your massive replies. Or maybe you just hate us.

This is the year of internships! Good luck everyone. In the hustle and bustle of study abroad, I feel disconnected from that sort of thing. I'll be excited to go back to normal university soon; I think I start doing some student teaching when I get back, which is pretty exciting, but not quite as exciting as applying to places and such.

I forgot to add on my etc that I'm waiting to see which universities I got accepted to transfer to. I only applied to two, and the lesser university/back-up of the two has already accepted me, so I'm just waiting on the other one! I hope I get some money!

There is so much to learn from Douglas Adams.

Do you have a pin, Tav? :!O

and you guys are lame. I knew that lorries were trucks back in third grade. READING ftw. No, actually before then! In second grade, we had a little worksheet on what things were called in England. Lofts, lifts, lorries.

Does everyone know what wellies are?! I can't think of any other word that's used in England and not in the US. Wellies is my favorite word.

I've never heard of wellies! I didn't know lorry was a British word, though. I guess I've known about it since high school, or something?

Wellies is (SPOILER)short for "Wellingtons" which is what the British call rainboots!

Ooh, I knew the full word, just not the contraction. xD Okay, so it's a cute word, but I think the full word is even cuter!

It's stupid x-quote! It was pissing me off. And I totally replied to all of those in my head at least.

Deal. You'll be the one in the octopus costume, right?

The Octo-American. I think I could pull that off.

I'd prefer carrying on as normal (and that might happen yet), but regardless of what happens I can rest assured that I will remain paid what I am currently paid and that's good enough for me. My colleagues and I get along great and my bosses all appreciate me so it's all good there.
Love life: Nothing wrong with this. :D Danielle and I have settled properly now, I think, and maybe I'll have to start thinking about a ring by the end of the year... we'll see. Danielle has got herself a career job recently so our financial almost-problems have turned into something much better, and I think we'll be in a very good position in about four month's time to really think about the future in a very sensible way. If not earlier!

Pfft, I want a cool job. Does Danielle like it so far?

Sounds like any given night at my house with BJ and his work buddies.

I should visit. :p

I dunno if you'd want to, BJ wins most of the time. :D

All high schools closely resemble jail. And all history teachers are insane. Trust me, Cid is a history teacher.

Heh, my little sister is a freshman too.

Shopping is a valid hobby, I suppose.

That explains a few things. Second grade is when most students learn actual useful things, like to capitalize proper nouns, rubah.
