A Version For Tumblr That Can Be Read Without Opening A New Tab, Since Plenty Of People Would Scroll

To prove my statement that I'm actually studying for my exam: this is how my desk looks after almost 5 hours of writing learning cards for Kanji -.- Now I just need to get all of this into my brain somehow. Any advice?

Yesssssss!! *happy dance*

Their eyes met, and Kathryn felt the universe stop. She was acutely aware of Owen’s body, warm and firm, muscles slightly tensed under her hands, of his hands around her waist, of his eyes, boring into hers. She knew that this was the moment. She could pull away and leave now. Wish Owen the best and not return. Go back to being just another lieutenant. 

Or she could stay.

In other words…

Chapter Fourteen of Cold Comfort is posted!

Trank you so much for telling me all of this! I'm actually really happy with my decision. Right now I'm in my third semester of Japanese studies. At my university we are required to pass our Japanese language courses by a certain time in our studies (especially the first one) and I've come to realize that I would just need more time to really learn this language than I have at University. I'm still going to keep studying Japanese but just for myself and with the help of a friend of mine, but it's really not going to work out for me as a subject to study at University. So that's basically why I've decided that a change was necessary, even when some people in my life (for example my father) don't understand at all that sometimes the first thing you choose to do may not be the right thing for you in the end.

I'm sooooo happy for you for passing those tests! Great job ^^ I'm still really far away from graduating university, especially since I decided to change my subjects with the beginning of my next summer semester. So I'm always really excited for people who've made it through their studies because it's kind of a sign for me that I, too, will eventually get through it. :D

Thank you very much, and you know what?! I spent and wasted three years at a university pursuing a degree that I just couldn’t get. I ended switching completely and starting over with court reporting. Honestly, I feel a lot of people switch their degree plans. Sometimes what you thought you wanted to do at 18 isn’t what you feel like doing anymore at 21. Don’t feel bad at all for changing things. Ultimately what matters is that you’re happy doing what you’re doing. And if it’s what you WANT to do, then do the shit out of it. You know, one of my court reporting mentors said she did so bad in court reporting school that her teacher told her to give up and find something else to do, that she was wasting her time, not learning the skill fast enough. And guess what, she ignored that teacher and kept at it, and she graduated and ended up becoming the president of the Texas Court Reporter’s Association, which are the people who administer the CSR examination. So she took longer than some, she ended up being bad ass anyway :)
