... is fine and all, but now the instructor is making a fuss about us having to make up today's class on another day. Excuse you, I have a job and other classes, and internship work starts back up this week too. monday and wednesday are the only days in the week that I have free for this class, but the latter doesn't work for other students who have other classes too. ~___~
Why is it suddenly our responsibility that the instructor wanted to take a holiday today?
Just extend the class by one more week to accommodate for holidays. There are no other classes to overlap that anyways.
yeesh

Other than that I'm a little happy that I can have some peace today
Work on my last commission and finish all this week's hw <33

This game is still early access, like $35 on steam.
I wanna play it so muchhhh but I always hesitate with unfinished games. the feedback is mostly really positive but there are complaints for it getting boring for some people at the end (its unfinished of course). And some people try to compare it to pokemon so much that they kill it for themselves.
It could either get better or worse, being thats how early access games usually go. But the devs sound like they're pretty active so that's a good sign I think.

Any of you know of this game or have tried it?

@totalanimefan:
Yeah but its not like... a job. Its work that you do because you love your little fluff companion lol
My bird would probably get mad jealous if I got a dog though. He already looks at me funny when I'm hugging the cat xD

@totalanimefan:
my neighbors all have dogs and I just sit with my face against my upstairs window and admire them from afar :vanora_xd:
I can't get one until I have my own place. parents don't want anymore free roaming animals in their house

@grost:
hmmm true, but they had yummy fried jalapenos. Like, crispy and all that. I'm drooling just remembering it!
it hasn't come back for like 4 years already. lol

@grost:
ohh i havent tried one. my favorite was when they had those jalapeno burgers. it never came back... :vanora_cry:

@totalanimefan:
Or settle for a dog <3
thats the first priority

@grost:
dang I want a whopper now! They're so gross but so good at the same time

@kozi:
Ohh many good things! Glad you can have some time to relax without being at work, always a plus

@totalanimefan:
Yes, I love stories like these <3 two strong people just making it through life's challenges together.
Makes me happy to hear

Is it sad that I didn't know there was any sort of specific tradition for memorial day, because I've always had to work through it.
I don't think I have any friends that celebrate it cause they also have to work. My school wont be closed, nothing like that xD It always felt like an 'invisible' holiday

Sorry I ended up typing a lot XD Their story is a happy one, so still relevant to this positivity thread!

@totalanimefan:
Its kind of funny because we also came from Florida, so that whole process was the same for her as it was for you xD
But yeah she studied to get her masters degree in Art. I think her uni was near st Alban's or somewhere on that side of London. Initially she had a LDR that she moved in with for most of her time there. It wasn't until towards the end that they broke up and she ended up with her current husband a few months later. Now they're doing really well here in colorado, so I'm happy for them.

I think about it a lot recently with how those two inspire me. Like, even when they were living in a van in germany, just struggling to find a place to shower. Or when they lived in a hostel in New Zealand. When immigration wouldn't let my sister in to be with her fiance. In some moments during their relationship, it really did seem like everything was trying to make it too frustrating to be together. They never lost their dedication for each other, never blamed the relationship for their hardship. They made sacrifices together and worked together until they succeeded. They're happy now, my sister always tells me how her husband is so entirely happy with his life and its really wholesome.

My ex couldn't even handle having to sleep on a japanese mat, bill-free for a few months to be with me xD

@mousy:
That's how I remember it being. I used to live in Sugarland (but on the border of Missouri City), TX. just slightly south-west from Houston. I loved it so much.
I had a lot of lovely interactions with workers where I just walked in with a question and walked out feeling like I had a new friend. In one case, I literally walked in to ask some managers some questions about their business and walked out already hired for a job. I feel that one was a bit more unique lmao

Colorado is a bit more rough than that. Some nice people here and there, but most of the time it feels more difficult to obtain information because no one wants to exert any effort.

@totalanimefan:
Yeah exactly. I was indifferent about this uncle when I was a child because he used to be into gross habits and would always flake out on plans with us. He flaked out on my sister's wedding and it irked me, cause she had to pay for his table and everything.
But we've started chatting again recently since my dad told him I wanted to go live there. He's cleaned himself up so much and he sounds so happy, I'm really glad he's doing better <3

Wow, yeah my sister studied in England, its how she met her husband. They both live in the states now because immigration over there became too strict for her to stay. She was one year short of being able to apply for residency, but other restrictions would've still gotten in the way.

@totalanimefan:
Either way I have plenty of time to visit first ^^ and my uncle reached out to help me out with lodging as well (maybe not 6-months long, I wouldn't ask that of him. But if I needed it for the moving process for some reason, I have him as a safety net).

I just get so exciiiiited, it makes me impatient lmao I just wanna be there already!
But yes, I would easily have found a job here within those 6 months and more money saved is always a good bonus

@totalanimefan:
Yeah, my only worry is that there might be a 6 month delay before I can shift my CO massage license over to a TX one. So I might be stuck in place until April or something (assuming I get my license within a month or two of graduating, gotta pass a test)
But I plan to check things out in person when I visit and see if I can have a conversation with massage therapists where I want to move to. Maybe they'll have some helpful insight for me.

Hopefully they wont be rough like CO people and be like uhh why dafuq you talking to me go away xD
seriously that's how people are here.
