Ha-ha, I know I'm probably beating a dead horse here, but everyone has been throwing around talk of tumblr lately, and I've been thinking of joining. Do you think  I should make one that is for my art, and another separate one for my musings or reblogings? Because it seems like a lot of tumblr is fun nonsensical gifs and inspirational quotes and funny stories, but a part of me also feels like if I made an account, I should take it seriously and not just spam it with other people's stuff?

Personally, I like to keep things in one place. My blog is both art and random stuff, but I think that is what makes the place my own, you know? I kind of visualize my blog as my bedroom walls, where I put things that I create and also a lot of fandom/other artists work.

But I think it depends on the amount of art you produce. I don't post a lot of art (for now), so for me the one blog thing works perfectly. If you want to post a lot of art, maybe then it would be better to create a separate blog for it.

haha, join the club.  I will say one small thing in favor of procrastination -- sometimes if you're dragging your feet over something, it means your heart isn't really in it. 
But if the Haiz came to Canada that would be massively awesome.

Exchange in Canada? : D That sounds like it could be cool! (Where in Canada?)
Good luck with preparing everything you need for the application, if you do decide that you want to do this.

It might sound weird for me to be giving fiscal advice, but - be sure you can afford this before you start considering it seriously. Uni in Canada probably costs tuition money. Possibly a lot of tuition money. On top of that there's housing and so forth. I studied abroad and it cost me a hand and a leg.

Aw, Haiz, I'm sorry to hear that you're anxious and stressed. I wish you good luck with whatever choice you make. Try not to work yourself too hard, okay?

[Haiz]

*sweats* ok wow that was a lot of responses to my tiny-lettered toe-dipping life update ha ha ha ha

*Prudently hugs* New or big thing can be scary. But you can do it. I'm sure you can

I HOPE SO and if not i guess i'll try again next semester

maybe it's not so much "my heart isn't in it" as much as "oh gods i've been ignoring any and all advice/lectures/anything on studying abroad and now i've got something around ten days to catch up and idk if i'll be able to"
but from the way im feeling REALLY EXCITED ABOUT the thought i like to think i really wanna do this
because i've known for a long time i want to go abroad at some point
and canada is like
1) it's far away
2) but still northern enough for me to not suffer in the climate
3) english speaking
4) but not the US (nothing personal, im just terrified of the US)

and i hadnt really considered it before but when i did it's like dang i want that

Exchange in Canada? : D That sounds like it could be cool! (Where in Canada?)

uhh i checked the list for universities that cooperate with my uni, and the one in Waterloo seems to fit?? i mean what happened was viola saying "my uni has a subject called gender and art" and that is just THE HAIZEST SUBJECT POSSIBLE I AM INTRIUGED and i jokingly said "brb going to canada" and........ yeah anyway i have no idea where it actually is but they have that subject : D

hhhhhhyeah probably
but im also still living with my financially stable middle class parents who are urging me to study abroad and thought canada sounds like a good idea
so
I HAVE HOPE

"try not to work too hard" i've been doing practically nothing for weeks hahahaa, most of my anxiety and stress stems from my sudden inability to put effort in important life stuff!! but thank you ^_______^

My school is the university of ottawa, but that one ended up not being compatible with your school. In the end I think it was university of waterloo that we found also had the gender and art course.

[Mélusine]

Okay, but will we see Vi in an exchange in Europe later ?

You becha!! I've already looked into it, sadly they don't let you leave until 3rd year, so I'm going to have to wait it out. I will be coming though. Brace yourselves

*Googles University of Waterloo*

Hmm. That is only a three-and-a-half hour drive from my grandparents' house. Hmmmmmmmm...

Haha, lookout for me, too! And I can technically go as early as next semester (although I'll wait for a variety of academic reasons). I wonder if my parents would be confused at me looking into going to Finland...

...I should probably mention to them that I'm learning Finnish at some point -_-

[Mélusine]

You becha!!

???
And for the rest : I'll wait.

*Tries not to laugh* ^^ Yes, probably.

[Haiz]
