* Solovei quietly celebrates birthday in a very non-celebratory manner
*so really just tries to have a relatively okay day for once*

Happy birthday Solo!! I'm working on a birthday present for you, which I hope to finish before the day ends! But if I don't finish, know that I didn't forget :)

lecturer: "and I... uh... need two volunteers for being class representatives..."
*all 2 students exchange deadpan stare*

How is that even legal? If my class only had two people, it would legit get canceled. The Uni would be all like "Nope, not enough interest shown, too much moneyz to keep the lights on and pay the professor for his time, sucks to be you!"

I looked at a school (didn't end up applying there) that had every freshman enroll in a class with only one other person on purpose. It was supposed to be for writing and debate skills or something, I don't exactly remember.

Same for what I saw or what my brother/friends have lived... So yes, it seems strange. Even if it was one lesson among others in a week.

happy birthday solo!!

Starting the semester this early sucks, while there are countries where university only starts in October. (and these differences are nightmares to the mobility coordinators...) I suppose you have more holidays during the year, but still.
well, I've had my summer 'vacation' for over two months, and I'm not starting earlier than most everyone else in this country...

sorry to hear about the end of the programme *pat pat*

How is that even legal? If my class only had two people, it would legit get canceled. The Uni would be all like "Nope, not enough interest shown, too much moneyz to keep the lights on and pay the professor for his time, sucks to be you!"
O_o How could you be only two in a class ?
Well, I think there _are_ more than two people signed up for this subject, but attending lectures is kind of voluntary? Since the most of the studying is reading, anyway..... It'll be interesting to see how many will attend the classical history lecture tomorrow.


I got my job evaluation from the hotel!! It's funny how the evaluation from almost all places are "works diligently, but is quiet and doesn't communicate much" or "could need to improve communication"... except from reception that says I've "mastered the art of communicating with guests". Am I just gonna go ahead and blame the language? you bet I am

aaaaand I just came back from meeting with the volunteers for Torucon that is happening this weekend! I'm really excited, and another funny thing is that it's taking place at a Clarion hotel. right after I've worked two months on a Clarion hotel. It's fate
you'll know where to find me.

I don't want to scare anyone but the driver would probably just mistake me for a local sheep, check my ears for markings and deposit me to some farm.
... offer the driver a swap he can't refuse ... ?

While universities tend to stick to the traditional "tres faciunt collegium", other kinds of school follow different rules. My German Gymnasium had a rule that in the last couple years leading to the final exam, classes would never get canceled due to lack of attendees. (Edit: Unless the number was as low as zero, of course.)

Source: The poor sod who had been the only one to apply for a Leistungskurs in Russian, only to have them cancelled, and thought he could try to shave some work off getting his exam that way ...

A question to people who know Patreon better than I, or even better this particular author:

I don't see any reference to an online archive of the comic being available to patrons, to printed versions, no information on how many pages the comic already has or when it started, or even a way to throw the author any questions. If one only gets the pages that get published while you're being a patron, how are latecomers ever going to get caught up with the preexisting plot?
