Thanks superpasta! :)

Hahahaha your comment made me laugh so much! :) Peter Pan was awesome of course :D but it's more like, a metaphor for the fact that despite my body growing up, my mind hasn't. :) I reckon if Neverland were real and the Lost Boys did exist I'd be a fully fledged member. ^_^ Hahahaha :)

Hahaha hello again! :) Sorry it took me so long to reply, I need to start using this website more, it's awesome :D and your message was so cute, thank you for the very sweet reply! ^_^

As for struggling with studying because of drama addictions, I can TOTALLY relate to you! xD You find yourself saying "I'll just watch this one episode" and then six episodes later its 2am and you realise you haven't even started your assignment yet... hahahaha :D

Weird question but what type of animal do you love looking after the most? ^_^ Or do you have to spend equal time on every single type of animal if you're doing veterinary training? I do a design degree and although you spend the first year learning all the basics, as you move up the years you can start to specialise... like I am specialising in old buildings. :) I wonder if it's the same on your course?

You seem like you've got all your qualifications pretty sorted out - although two masters is quite an achievement. Are you undertaking them separately or simultaneously? :) And apologies if this sounds weird but, you seem like the kind of guy who is years ahead of his peers. And that the reason you're bored of college is because you understand most of it already, or, you learn things much quicker than other people... so get frustrated with how long they stay on a subject. Is that an accurate description? :)

As for being forced to get qualifications, that I completely understand. For example, I was trained to a Grade 8 standard on the piano by the time I reached high school, but my teacher said it was a waste of money to do the actual grading exams. However, now nobody believes I can play the piano well because I don't have the little piece of paper to prove it... ! It's pretty crazy!

Hey! :) I study architecture in England, although I'm taking the working route. Right now I am studying Interior Architecture, and then I will enter an architect's practice and gain a full architecture license through work. :)

Hahaha it's a very strange way to do it I know :) but one thing that bothers me about contemporary architecture is that often, the outside is spectacular but the inside sometimes feels the same as other buildings.

I love it when both the interior and exterior are harmonious with each other, right down to the details like signage and handrails and everything, hahaha. :) Like Peter Zumthor's Vals baths. But ya, that's why I'm studying interiors now... so I don't forget that they are important too! xD

What sort of architecture do you admire/aspire to create? :)

Hey again :) sorry it's taken so long for me to reply - now it's summer I hope I have a bit more time to come on here. :) I have a friend who absolutely loves writing as well, although right now she's training to be a journalist. Which do you prefer, fiction or non-fiction? :)

As for me, yes I love writing and literature too - in fact, I love anything to do with art. I'm a very creative person, although like you I am a perfectionist! So I completely know where you're coming from... sometimes it takes me twice as long as somebody else to do the same amount of work on my course. :(

If I had to pick favourites, I'd say illustration, music, literature and graphic design were my favourite parts of the art world - dance too, although dance crosses the borders between art and entertainment quite a lot. :) Are you quite an artistic person yourself?

Aloha! You wrote a comment on my wall ages ago and I am so sorry I didn't reply until now >.< but I understand what you're saying, about liking specific works that an architect does instead of their entire portfolio. :) I am usually like that as well, but there are some architects which just seem to do a perfect job every time hahaha xD like this company called Simpson + Brown, in the UK. Sooooo beautiful >.<<br /><br />And aaaaaa no you like Gehry?! xD Every country has its own unique culture and "feeling", and so I am always stunned when he seems to put the same looking building in every country no matter what... I always wonder what the local people think. I think its fantastic when you can create a building that is modern and stunning but still sits beautifully in its surroundings. Like Falling Water for instance :) what do you think? :)

(continued from last comment hahaha) However I know some people on my course who love working that hard on their projects, and look forward to all the overtime. They are even happy to sacrifice friendships sometimes if it means a better mark on their coursework - I guess that's dedication lol?? xD What do you think about it?

Hahaha, hello! I should have replied to you a long time ago, so apologies - but I'm still an architecture student too, not a professional yet. I'm quite nervous about becoming a professional - the hours of work are very long and intense, and you are expected to work overtime on most days. But I have a lot of other interests besides architecture, so it'll be difficult for me to get a job, continue speaking to friends/family, AND enjoy the other things that I care about.

For example, there are some architecture companies which provide free breakfasts (at like 8am) and free taxis (at 10pm) to encourage you to stay much much longer. In others, even if you work very hard but you go home at the time you are contracted, you will be looked upon as slacking. Only the ones who are there from morning to night every day are considered worthy. It sounds REALLY scary. :(

For some reason, your name didn't appear when you tried to add me. The MDL friend system is very bizarre :/ but I've sent you a request so hopefully this one will appear in the inbox. Let me know what happens :) nice to meet you! xx

Ohhhh my gosh! Sorry if this is majorly weird, but I saw a post from you in the 'What major are you studying' thread and I was SO excited, you're studying to be a vet?! I think that's like the coolest job in the whole world but I couldn't bring myself to do it, I'm so squeamish haha ^^;;

I honestly think your job is much harder than any normal medicine student would have to do, because you have to know all the medical conditions for more than one species (instead of just all humans, like doctors do). It's an incredible task... you must be really intelligent :D

Hey! ^_^ I saw you on the 'What major are you studying' thread, nice to meet a fellow architect! :) What country do you study it in? :) x

Hey! :) I saw you on the 'What Major are you studying' thread... nice to meet a fellow architect, so hello hahaha ^_^ what country are you studying it in? :) x

Hey! :) I saw your post in the 'What major are you studying' thread and was so stunned, you must be incredibly intelligent to have all those degrees! ^_^ Are you one of those people who got accelerated through the school system very quickly? :)

I used to be a year ahead of my classmates once, I kept doing all my work too fast and the teachers didn't know what to do haha... ^^;; but unfortunately had to drop out of school for a year because of something bad with my parents. :( I'm hoping to get back on track and make up for it with degrees in more than one thing (a bit like you!), hopefully. :)

What made you decide to study so much? :) Or do you just love learning new things? ^_^

Your avatar is so cute! :) Is it a chibi version of yourself? :)

Hey! :) I saw you on the 'What Major are you studying' forum and your combination of subjects just seemed so interesting, I wanted to say hi x3 arts and English together, so I guess you're quite a creative person but your preference is using words to express yourself? :)

Hey! :) I saw you on the 'What Major are you studying' forum, nice to meet a fellow architect! ^_^ I'd like to qualify to be an architect too, but I'm taking a very unconventional route... I'm studying Interior Architecture now, and then entering and architect's practice and completing the exams through work experience from there. :)

I really wanted to study interiors first, because I think so many buildings these days are so pretty and sculptural on the outside... but when you walk in it becomes the same as the last building. At least it sometimes feels like this in the UK. I'd like my buildings to be quite understated but beautiful in every single detail throughout. :) Like some of Peter Zumthor & Frank Gehry's work, although right I'm in love with Simpson & Brown Architects. :)

What kind of architects do you like? And do you have a style/era you enjoy the most out of everything? :)

If you're having trouble finding places to watch this drama, search for "Kamo, Kyoto e Iku" instead. :) Really interested by all the comments so shall give this a watch!

Does anybody have any recommendations for dramas which are similar to this? I'm having withdrawal symptoms and literally can't bring myself to watch anything else... I loved this way too much haha. :)

Hi again allyson! :) I was wondering what the drama was from that second-to-last set of GIFs on your page... the one where she sticks up her middle finger hahahaha :D it looks epic!
