The Anime Soc chat thread XX: The Fierce Flames of Abandonment

You can tell them to PM me if you like. I have PMs turned off

You do? but how am I supposed to pm you if they're off?

You're special

A4e finally sorted out my work placement... a week and a half later than planned (which gave me enough time to mess up my sleeping pattern and get tempted back into three of the eight anime series I stalled), but I should be starting in Barmouth library on Thursday. They only want me on Thursdays and Fridays though, so they're also trying to arrange for me to go to Blaenau Ffestiniog library Mon - Fri starting next week. They're looking into whether I can get a week/week and a half extra on the course as a result of the delays, as technically it was meant to end on the 30th of this month whether I got a place or not; I'm hoping they can extend it because a months work experience looks better than a fortnights, though it would mean I'd still be working at the start of the new anime season.

Not planning on stalling any more anime series despite the long hours (including travel time, I'll be away from home from 8 AM - 8 PM), but since I'm close to finishing both the complete series I have on the go (Druaga and Dougram), I'll probably just not start anything to replace them and focus on new/ongoing series for four weeks.

Good luck with the placements, AJ. Working in a library doesn't sound too bad given the type of people you're likely to work alongside and the environment you'd be in. You'll probably have access to the internet during your lunch break too.

As for managing your time to watch anime, welcome to my world. As mentioned before on here, I only watch a few episodes during the week, if that, usually reserving Sunday to marathon anything. It's not too bad once you get used to it.

I've recently got into Death Note and I'm a massive fan of Studio Ghibli, can I join?

Thanks. I figured that working in a library would be a better use of my skills than in a supermarket, which is where a lot of the people on the course seem to have been placed. Not that I'd have minded either way, as any experience is better than none. The potential free internet access during lunch is also an idea that appeals to me.

Aha, best make the most of the extra time then (i.e. marathon Dragon Ball).

Yesterday I discovered my course is running a 2 week trip to China for only £700 (that's accommodation and visa's) which made me very happy....well until I had discovered that the department had organised it to be during the week of our final hand in I question the organisational skills of my uni's architecture department not only do they think having seminars, tutorials AND lectures in the same time slot if fine but they also seem to think you can do your final hand in while in China . I'm rathe annoyed at this as I would have rather wanted to go on it

oh dear lol have you asked them about this? maybe they can put the dates forward? i hope the £700 includes the flights right? if so thats pretty good tis a great opportunity, i went with the uni for a month last summer, had a fantastic time

oh yeah i saw this on youtube the other day











i should have applied to lincoln

This shall be the only MLP thing I shall ever post and that is because this is taking the piss out of it
