G'day mate crikey dingo didgeridoo!!! Shrimp on the barbie to ya!

hmm no idea how far we've made it into terraria, we kinda just explored the surface and did a bit of mining... I found a finch staff that lets me summon a bird that fights for me, it's pretty cool. yeh I found minecraft a lot easier to learn, I eventually figured out how to run a server on my computer but I'm paranoid of how safe opening up ports in my firewall is?! so the 2 of us stuck w/ terraria... it's a shame, I love how gorgeous minecraft looks with shaders

in the end I accepted that first program's offer which is close to home, and it doesn't look like I'll get into any of those programs I applied to in the States (I'll be cheesed if I do D: ). I don't know that I can relate to dealing with imposter syndrome, I used to tie up my sense of self worth with how intelligent I felt I was and constantly felt insecure about it. now I think I've grown away from that mindset and kinda just don't care anymore, but it's left me with a horrible work ethic, since for so long I believed in 'natural talent' and trying to accomplish stuff with minimal effort. I've been reading/trying to get work done while I wait for the remaining results, but I keep procrastinating and getting derailed. today I've just been messing around with someone's implementation of style transfer, it has no business being so much fun, and yet I've gotten hardly anything done so far. there's a novella by Thomas Bernhard called 'Concrete' that's about procrastinating, it follows a guy who's worked on his lifelong passion project for the past 10 years, a biography/study of Mendelssohn, but hasn't written down a single word yet. I adore it, it's so funny. I dunno how busy your reading list is, but if you also put off working a lot, I'd highly recommend it! anyways, what are law classes like? I always assumed there's a lot of philosophy involved, what with trying to figure out how legal systems related to 'justice,' is there a lot of essay writing/in-class discussion?

I used to play a lot of Viktor/Swain/Vel'koz/Leblanc mid with some support games thrown in, but yeah I haven't touched it since high school, where I had tons of spare time. League is one of those games that I've spent over 1000 hours playing but hardly remember any of it - there were a couple of memorable moments going really silly picks/builds with friends that stand out but otherwise it definitely sucks up a lot of time... I'm not sure if I'll ever return to league but this week has been fairly stressful so I've been goofing around a bit more to try and unwind. I've been trying to get into Terraria among other things, I bought the game ages ago and never knew what to do. I've been playing with someone I know irl, so not knowing what to do isn't as bad

The program that I was accepted to required me to accept/decline the offer by Tuesday for a guaranteed admission, but I haven't done that so it's possible (likely? idk) that they give away my spot and I can't go there. I wanted to hear the results from all the other programs, but I've been super stressed out cause my uni marks are pretty average, so choosing not to respond might be a really ???? decision by me, I'm not sure yet. Hopefully I don't get rejected by everywhere else =S I don't usually like to take these kinds of risks but ugh it's such a big decision I wasn't sure what to do - GRE scores aren't required this year so I think admissions to US programs will be more competitive too, there's nothing I can do about that now but sit around and anxiously question my life choices. also yeah covid means idk if it'll be online :V Law sounds pretty fun but I'm still surprised that most people there have their future career decided by high school?? anyways why'd you decide on a double degree? do you already have a good idea of work you want to pursue?

huh I noticed you mentioned League of Legends in your AMA, hows that been? I remember playing when Kassadin was left at a 95% pick/ban rate for like a year, I wonder has the balancing gotten any better???

Prof. Arthur is really old, he was completely unfamiliar with technology, assignments would be handed out in class and there wasn't any course website etc. so the class just stopped after campus closed. :( he had the TA upload lecture notes I guess, but so much of the fun was just hearing him tell random stories in class and having a tight knit class feeling. hm.. I've been accepted to a math & statistics program w/ funding near home so I wouldn't have to move anywhere which is nice, but idk, there are some good data science programs in the US which I'd like to attend, I've been anxious thinking about it. how does law education work in Australia? in North America it's something you only apply to after undergrad

I honestly don't remember, must have been the recommendation algorithm, but I've remembered it all this time cause it was the hardest I'd laughed in a long time, there's just nothing like that channel

ah, last time I mentioned I was taking a course with James Arthur on representation theory so I was bummed out that the course/school was cut short, it was a really small and informal class that was so much fun. In the end, I took the year off and plan on going to graduate school sometime this fall. I'm guessing it's been all online school for you?? how have you liked it? I've heard lots of mixed opinions on online courses

hi hello, it's been OK. you know, I've been wanting to start a journal, it's therapeutic writing out/organizing my thoughts whether in posts or w/e. anyways it's nice to see you again, always fun writing these weird messages

Merry Christmas Sophie~
Hope you have some great holidays!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! ??????

WAIT NONONONO, YOU'RE GOOD!! You actually did wish me a happy birthday this year, and you even brought up our little tradition again, hehe! What probably threw you off is the fact that you did so in a thread rather than through VMs this year! x)

But still... it's super, SUPER nice of you that you went through our conversation again just to check, and I really appreciate it all the same!! THANK YOU, SOPHIE!!!! <333333333

OMG, SOPHIE!!!! I'm not late this time (for once), am I? Just wanted to continue our little tradition and wish you another happy birthday!! :D :D
