That's good then!

 

Well, idk yet. The government is handling it really badly, so idek what will be available by then. But so far there's a limited amount of Pfizer and Moderna, + they ordered a bunch from the Russian and Chinese ones as well. As for immunity, you should be good for a while, but you won't be immune forever. You should definitely take the vaccine in a few months if you can.

Yeah, I heard shady stuff about the Chinese vaccine as well, idk what to believe anymore.

Where are you from btw?

Some country called Indonesia 

i really hope Xtina release something this year, her music will help us in difficult times 

 

I mean, the Chinese produced the covid, idk if O can trust their vaccine, but we don’t have other choice, problem of living in 3rd world country..

Where Covid originated is irrelevant imo, it's that they have been shady about the testing phases and just giving clear info about the vaccine.

Yeah, I need new music from X too, but we all know how slow she works. + She's such a traditionalist in some ways, I doubt she wants to release new music until she can't perform it properly (for those few performances she'll actually do )

I'm finishing my MA in Translation and Interpreting. We'll see if I manage to find a job in my profession, or I'll just get a regular office job of answering e-mails. Either way I'm excited to finally be financially independent.

Ugh, I know. I'm so tired all the time. The second time around doesn't get easier either. But it's probably still easier to be a student than do 9 to 5 for 40 years.

So you didn't have a job while you were doing MA? 

Im thinking of doing both a masters and a job at the same time but idk how possible is that with the schedules  it's either both or job with no masters because if i postpone getting a job for 2 more years I'll belike 25 with no work experience and that is not good

I did an internship in the summer, but apart from that and a few small side-jobs I didn't work, no.

Not you saying you don't want to be 25 with no work xp when that is exactly me rn Well, the internship will count for something, but I don't think being 2 years older would turn employers off that much. Finding work straight out of uni/college is gonna be hard regardless. With uni qualifications you can apply for higher paying jobs tho. It also depends on your field. My BA degree of English Studies gave good general knowledge, but other than that it's basically useless on its own. My MA is more practical and prepares me for an actual profession.

What are you studying?

So I watched the live action of Mulan last night and god they changed it too much compared to the original

Yeah, when I learned she gets by with magic powers instead of hard work I lost all interest in watching it.

At least you had that internship and small jobs, I have nothing  Yes a master's degree can give you better opportunities but it's hard to do it at the same time as having a job. Depends on the job tho. 

I major in American Studies and minor in Italian. Italian courses are useless practically because they only teach grammar, the history of words. I also do old Italian literature which will help me with nothing in life but at least I'm learning the language 

American Studies is more useful bcuz it covers many fields, from literature to genre studies, theater, movie studies, race theory, media studies, history, politics, and more of that stuff. I have a wider range of job opportunities for a program so vast. If I do decide to follow a MA i think it will be still American Studies because I don't think there's any other program that could help me more. Well I actually didnt search yet

Oh hey, we have the same BA then. Except I decided to take British culture/history instead of American. 

And ugh, I know the struggle of the second foreign lg. Mine is Spanish. I started learning it during college via extra offered courses, I took a language exam and now it's part of my Hungarian-English-Spanish translating/interpreting MA (2 foreign lgs were required to qualify for this degree). But I'm way weaker at it than English, so I don't enjoy practising it as much, which in turn means I don't improve as quickly.

Where are you from btw?

She signed with Roc Nation right (poor Irving) I hope they’ll help bring her to success and relevancy again 

no shade tho

So far Roc Nation seems to be good for her. They produced her remote Mulan performances. They seemed professional.

Thank god, they looked good. Hopefully they will manage her music career better than Irving has these past few years.

To be fair Irving was good at getting her money. But that was often at the expense of her career as a musician.

Let's stay positive sis. She gave an interview a while back where she talked about how she needed to let some people go from her life and that she tends to  hold onto people for too long. Hopefully this means she realised she needed a change.

I mean we can joke, but she did deliver with Liberation and gave Fighters two tours and a residency within 2 years. This isn't the 2012-2018 dry-spell anymore.

I'm from Romania and I know you're from Hungary so we're basically neighbors  Maybe that's why the universities programs are so similar. They're the same in most of Europe. I have a Translation and Interpretation program at my uni too 

Yess I'm also not confident in speaking in Italian. I can hold a conversation but I still make grammar mistakes and I'm so slow bcuz I have to think of words. Plus the fact that I dont surround myself with italian entertainment or culture probably makes it worse but oh well  I don't know how I'll be able to retain the language after graduation if I don't use it regularly at work or something.
