Ah I see. Yeh not too hard to find a job, but still requires a little effort.
Bad endings actually do ruin a lot of series, kinda sucks but oh well.
Yeh I always prefer to just watch than read in general, even if reading will actually be faster, especially when it comes to manga.
Errr it depends on how I'm feeling. I spend most of free tine just hanging with mates tbh. Or I just wstch shows or play games. Apex legends is pretty fun, but I wish it had solo mode. I enjoy solo with battle royales. Only gsme I've fully played this year was kingdom hearts 3. Halo collection just got announced for pc though, so whenever thst comes out imma be playing a lot of that
O_o you on a scholarship?
Wait it's only 2k? NZ on no scholarship is $8k (4k pounds) a year but you get to study first year for free, so it's pretty decent, I thought UK uni was a hella lot more expensive even as a citizen.
The Dororo manga is only 19chapters and it seemed like it was quickly rushed in the last chapter. I dunno if it was getting axed or something cause it did get a lot of praise as a good classic but ehhh. I think it's honestly ok to play around from the manga.
Gl with that, I never bother with gym cause I don't wanna spend my money there, I do basic stuff at home at times though. Plus i like doing stretches a lot but that's cause I enjoy being flexible lmao
I didn't even realize there's anime original scenes, guess that's what happens when it's been 5 years.
I'm normally quite free when on uni break, I do the 4days 10hour shift weeks when I'm in breaks (I prefer it a lot more to 5 days 8 hours) so I still have 3 days of free time. I just reply like a normal message, plus I think I'm pretty fast when it comes to typing...and I think I'm just good with time management in general I always find ways to allow free time for myself. I wouldn't go as hard as you for life. Like this semester I only have 3 papers and my part-time. I think it might also be that uni costs in NZ is a lot cheaper than other countries so I don't have to actually work as much hehe.
Yeh madoka isn't long either, 3 movies. The TV series is just the first 2 movies but the movies just collabed 6 eps in each and didn't even cut anything out lol.
YEP! But the anime is taking it's own way with a of things (I read the manga), like the story is leading to same point but they just do things alternately. Still good.
Yeh a lot of that went down the drain and now I'm rewatching HxH lmao.
It's not as bad as it used to be, but I think that's because I am a lot more open to having different foods now and dishes (I used to be fussy), plus I generally take better care of myself, I don't do a diet but I do make sure I'm kinda not just eating trash lol.
Yeh I'm enjoying part 5 anime a lot more than I did in the manga, personally I think for me it's cause I read it back when there was only the old translation which was a little bad.
Watch madoka, don't read it, but yeh I recommend it's pretty good.
Yeh for stuff airing I'm now on a "MAL rating must be at least average 8 after first ep" for me to give it a shot, helps avoid just watching bad shows. Dororo and promised neverland are the good ones this season if you want some thing to check out there.
Naruto, DBZ, LOGH, yu yu hakusho, pretty much the long battle shounen stuff. I wanna watch Guilty Crown at some point this year as well.
Worst I get is a migraine, which is fixable by drinking water. Yeh travel can be bad if you unlucky, I haven't really experienced that though apart from I get sea sick real easy, but I avoid boats so it's not an issue anymore.
One Piece, Death note, JoJo, Naruto, deadman wonderland, tokyo ghoul, fma, attack on titan and yatsuba I have first volumes of. I also have the 3 volumes of madoka magica that I bought as a set cheap, but that's it I believe. I plan to go ham on manga for reading at some point in the next year or so. I just wanna tie loose ends with the popular anime shows so I just have airing stuff that I watch (Mainly the longer anime shows I wanna try finish off).
Interesting. That's actually a lot for an application, but unis enjoy taking money so it's not that surprising imo, but yeh just each place you wanna apply costing a lot is a bit mean.
Ah I see, CDT I guess that would be better so you don't have to pay so much.
Yeh I'm always sick at random points during winter. But I'm never sick during summer which is good.
Yeh a lot with manga I just only buy the first volumes, I dont like spending loads of money buying it. Don't have the dedication with my money.
Is there not like a choice thing when you do a PhD, like I know how some people doing PhD may have a mentor at times, like a guidence. I guess it doesn't make sense if you just choose from some options, you're supposed to do it all yourself. I dunno what CDT stands for lol.
Btw watch this movie if you ever get time, worth it.
I remember in like school I love it when I'm sick, but now if I'm sick I really hate it lol, like i want to work or study or I'm screwed lol.
I have the first volume of part of the jojonium lol. Was like $35 nzd but so worth.
happy new year to you too man :)
"The thing is, they haven't the gov't hasn't yet decided which places will get funded, so I don't know if I can apply at all." Can't you just apply everywhere then and just choose the one which does get funded if you need it to? Like i know oxford is good (well known to be good), but like that doesn't mean everywhere is bad. University of Auckland is known to be best uni in NZ, but everyone I know who goes there unless it's the law students say it's not as good as on paper.
I've known a PhD is only worth for the title Dr. so you can have dominance over the rest of the paper.
Probably not the get off my lawn type, but I reckon I'll be somewhat bitter lol.
I feel like Araki will do a part 9, like hopefully he does a real jojo ending, maybe something that connects everything together and happily ever after, or just kill everyone again lol
Yeh I also hate Minata, mainly just cause everything he does is annoying. Yeh sexual harassment is pretty bad but japan have a different standard compared to other countries, it;s actually pretty weird. They make japanese pornography censored but what they can actually do is very broad, and they don't seem to care about sexual embarrassment so much.
Shigaraki I think is fine. I don't normally care about some characters as long as there's others I can enjoy. Like errrmm, I watched the new fantastic beasts movie yesterday, most of the characters that weren't in the original series I couldn't enjoy, but Grindelwald was really good in that movie which sucks cause he didn't have a lot of screen time, but just how good and well made the one character was in the little time made the movie a lot more enjoyable.
Yeh music is good.
Oh mine are in mid 80's so thats pretty old, 70+ is the average life expectancy atm so it is old lol. I now I'm gonna be cranky at kids when I'm old, but nice to anyone else
Yeh that's understandable. Whatever speed is good for you, it's not like One Piece is gonna end anytime soon lol.
I'm on like episode 20 of season 3. Glad you liked the series, it is something that I thought I wouldn't like but it's really good, especially the first half of S3 holy moly.
"I'm explaining the answers to some question sheet to the students."
That's where the problem is. the TAs I know will know a little due to the lecturer telling them, but if you ask them more on some thoery they then go blank and then it's like, great, good job.
Yes we have tutorials. TA shouldn't do a paper if they don't know anything about it and their answers are "I cant help you there' or "ask the lecturer about anything"
Tbh Grandparents are old and that means they're really forgetful. My grandparents always ask what i do again whenever I talk to them. Sadly we're gonna be like that too one day lol.
oo oo how you finding One Piece, I'm assuming from your chapters you're still in east blue, and yeh read it don't watch, watching is a waste of time unless you're like me and somewhat up to date so it isn't a grind haha.
Thats cool, is it like a TA (teaching assisstant) role? We have TA's but they're useless cause they're normally being a TA in a paper they don't even know about lmaoo.
Do you get much free time? I've had some extra opportunities than what I've done but for me I always try make sure I have myself some free time so I'm not busy busy. I guess if it's something thats enjoyable it's not to bad. I think i just like having that me time
Imma put on Dorohedoro on PTR, I plan on reading some manga once I'm in summer holidays which is actually end of this week lol.
MHA I absolutely love. It's got good ost. Before i watched it I didn't want to because I thought it looked weird and it was just popular cause of luck. But after watching I love the show. I say watch S1 (13eps) and if you don't really enjoy it then don't bother, the show gets better and better but I say you should be enjoying it by ep13.
Ah yeh true, so I won't need to wait too long to reax haha
Cowboy bebop you should just rewatch af some point, maybe you'll get the same "how did i not like this the first time?" feeling as well.
That's true, my goal then is to be a programmer that can say "I'm good", I'll get back to you on my goal next decade :)
Yeh I know eveyrthing there. i think the manga is almost done right? I was jsut gonna read everything once the mangas done.
Yeh I think I have that as well, I'd rewatch a series and be like, heh didn't like that as much now, kinda weird. Actually even though it's opposite, when I watched cowboy bebop the first time I thought it sucked, 2 years later I just decided to watch it again, and now i absolutely love the series. I think our tastes just change over time.
Maybe that is your power and you only just realized hmmmm...
I liked coding, I just felt like I wasn't thaat good at it. Like i got an A- for the last programming paper I did, but I kinda cheesed the marking scheme which was why I felt like I wasn't as good as an A-, maybe my cheesing was actually just genius creations, but yeh that was my feeling, which is why I left it, but now I want to go back into the more I think about it haha.
Yeh I love the series, I read up to timeskip in manga like ages ago. Yeh kinda sad that S3 is now being split so have to wait till spring. But yeh after a rewatch I really like it again, plus seeing hints of the titans being humans are hinted quite a bit when you actually rewatch, pretty interesting.
yeh but to be fair if you have to pretend to do work, it must not be something you enjoy, which if it's a high end job you probably did the wrong thing you wanted lmao.
Yeh that's true, I'm just bad at doing self learning, too lazy haha. I do fake stuff, actually i faked a lot in my CV when looking for original part time work. Now I have shit I'm pretty happy I'm fake free for now. But when they ask technical questions in my interviews its like hard to fake. But yeh I'm just generally wanting to be like "yeh I know programming and networking", plus I feel like programming will be fun once you get past all the beginning stuff.
Thanks, I dunno if I'll feel lonely. I still like online friendships, it's errr different, in a cool way.
