09.14.20 | Dude hell yea congrats on graduating! What made you decide on speech and language therapy? Sounds like a sweet field.
Good game choices as well ;] |

09.14.20 | I bought my first house when the markets crashed and it was the smartest/luckiest thing we ever did. I'd been doing long distance with my wife for 2 years and now that we had a house she was able to "officially" move in. 2020 has been a great year for me personally. |
SteakByrnes
09.14.20 | That owns bloc glad to hear :] My year has been going pretty well all things considered, been listening to so much music, still have my job thankfully, looking to move into my own place pretty soon with my gf |

09.14.20 | @Steak While on my English Language and Linguistics course I was thinking about what I wanted to do as a career and S< is the one that appealed to me the most, I can use what I've learnt to hopefully make some sort of positive difference. It's gonna be hard work but I'm excited to start. |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | @Bloc Man that's great to hear, sounds like it's worked out pretty well for you then. I'm gonna be (semi) long distance with my gf for the time being but hopefully after graduation we'll be moving in. |
SteakByrnes
09.14.20 | That's dope, I've always been interested in language and words due to growing up with an English teacher for a father haha. I'm sure it'll work out smoothly for ya :] |
JesperL
09.14.20 | congrats! sounds like a cool masters, what exactly does it entail? wHaT cAn yOu dO WiTh iT (sorry, i know how goddamn annoying that question is lol)?
i also just started my masters, a research focused one in new media/online culture. hyped to have another fancy degree without increasing my chances of getting a good job whatsoever!! |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | Thanks man, I really hope so. Sounds like you're doing well too, awesome that you've still got your job. |
808thebassqueen
09.14.20 | pretty decent at the moment thanks, just moved into a new apartment and have two of my mates right next to me, got a first for my year at uni (even if its my first year and it doesn't matter), managed to just about survive financially with my work being cancelled over the summer and no income
speech therapy is a really cool area to go for, I had it for a while as a kid and it really helped me even if I still can slightly garble my words at times, having friends working in similar fields they say it's hard work but extremely fulfilling at the end of the day |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | @JesperL Hey you don't always have to do something with a job in mind, liking it is enough and you can always stay in academia if that's your thing.
Basically involves working with people who've had some sort of communication breakdown, which can be anything from stroke victims to children with profound disabilities, to help improve their speech and (hopefully) their quality of life. The course is basically a mix of lectures on how to do this and placements to put it into practice. |
bloc
09.14.20 | Yeah mine wasn't super long distance admittedly (Ottawa vs. Toronto, so about 400 km) but best of luck to you. During that time, just remember for you and your partner to be realistic and focus on the long term goals and remember why there is this physical distance between the two of you.
Excellent news Steak, I always like hearing stories of people moving in together because now I can finally relate lol. |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | @808thebassqueen ey very nice, puts you in a good position for 2nd year too. I had to work my way up to a first in my final year but if you're already getting it that's great.
"hard work but extremely fulfilling" seems to be a common experience in the field but I definitely want to do something I know I'll find fulfilling |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | @bloc thanks for the advice, we've already had talks about goals in the long term but it's something I'm sure we'll give more consideration in the coming months.
400km sounds like a long way but I'm in the UK where everything is in easy driving distance haha |
808thebassqueen
09.14.20 | will clarify its sin btw, just realised i seem like some rando |
JesperL
09.14.20 | 'you can always stay in academia if that's your thing.' yeah for sure, think that's what i'm going for. we'll see, i'm having fun and saving money by living off of eggs so it's cool!
ah that sounds super interesting and important, hope it won't get too stressful for you. i'm personally not enjoying the whole online classes thing at all lol |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | Whoa Sin long time no see, you get banned? |
SteakByrnes
09.14.20 | I would absolutely hate these online classes, godspeed to everyone that has to deal with it |
808thebassqueen
09.14.20 | just for a week, think main is back tomorrow, stupidly decided to engage with a gyromania comment |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | @JesperL Eggs and stir fries were my diet for the whole of uni, easy and cheap lol
Not sure how I feel about the online classes, my lectures were mostly done when this all started but this masters is going to be taught almost completely online |
808thebassqueen
09.14.20 | yep i hate them to all fuck steak, at least my course is somewhat hybrid |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | @808 mate we've all been there, like talking to a pile of cowshit. I learnt my lesson on an IDLES thread a few years back. |
JesperL
09.14.20 | nothing quite like trying to understand your tutor and his thick italian accent through his shitty laptop microphone while your roommate's doing the dishes 5 meters away from you |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | The authentic online uni experience |
JesperL
09.14.20 | okay then again i do dig the recorded lectures, just put them at 1.5 speed and fast forward through the pointless bits |
Asdfp277
09.14.20 | personally i'm doing great, everything that i have to do i can do online. wanna hang out with my friends but i'm strong enough mentally that i can stay in quarantine indefinitely so i'm gonna do my part and stay the fuck home lol
i also ask random people i know regularly to check if they're ok emotionally, so far they've also been careful so they're mostly safe too thankfully |
Tunaboy45
09.14.20 | That's basically where I'm at, I miss seeing people and doing normal things but to blow it now would be stupid. |
garas
09.14.20 | Congrats on your graduation, Tunaboy.
I'm still poor, but I've just started PhD in biology. So far so good, the plague sucks but I'm trying to be grateful for eveything I have, even though it's not much. Music helps to stay mentally positive, and I'm trying to share this with my beloved ones.
I really wish y'all are doing great. |
Trebor.
09.14.20 | The air here in California is literally toxic and it's been giving me migraines every day and it's straight up hell on earth here |

09.14.20 | I hear you Treb. It's pretty gnarly up here in OR too. |
Zorg
09.14.20 | Doing the second play through as 9S is annoying, but otherwise it's an amazing game. I'm questioning if the 9-5 life is for me after 8 years at my current job. In a golden handcuffs situation. |
