My best AMV so far
My first animatic (The Promised Neverland manga spoilers!)
I don't know if I ever shared what I was studying - it's physics! My love for astronomy as a kid got me into it, although I'm currently working on quantum optics and light-matter interaction.
Starting over your Bachelor's sounds hard, but it seems like it'll help you in the long run (maybe land a job in Germany?) so that's good. Are you getting along well with your batch-mates?
The list of things I plan on doing when I'm less busy seems to keep growing as time passes, I don't think I'll ever actually go through it in this lifetime. Alas. In fact, Gravity Falls has been there for ages since a friend recommended it to years ago, but I've only ever watched the first episode. Maybe someday I'll get back to it. Recently I've been watching an anime called Orb: On the Movements of the Earth which is fantastic - it's a great mix of science and character drama that's pretty rare in anime.
I'd love to visit Germany sometime, maybe for a conference or for a post-doc, who knows. I'm glad you're enjoying your life there. I'm a fan of their national football team, so that's an added incentive :)
I know, it's been a while (again). Blame me and my complete neglect of MAL these past few years. In fact, I sent that message to you as a hail mary after I logged in recently, not sure if I'd get a response because it didn't seem like you're active here anymore - but I'm glad to hear from you.
I'm doing good, close to wrapping up my PhD thesis (or it's close to wrapping *me* up - either way I'll be done with it this year). I will be hunting for postdoc opportunities abroad soon.
I just realized, looking at our older messages, that I never finished reading all the LoGH books. I still have a couple unread that I bought years back, and they've been on my mind recently. Maybe I'll pick them up soon. Have you watched/read/played anything good recently?
It does feel surreal, even in this part of the world, so far away from everything. I really don't know what to say. I'm relieved to hear your mum and brother are safe - but why wasn't you dad allowed?
I am so glad to hear you're safe, and I cannot imagine what you must be feeling with your family still in Ukraine. I really, really hope they stay safe and if necessary make it out. My thoughts and prayers are with them and others suffering from this terrible invasion.
Hi Diana, I know it's been absolute ages but reading the news about Ukraine recently couldn't help but make me worried about you. Hope everything is okay.
