(I picked the name Poki for the name of the creature in my avatar thinking it sounded pretty unique, but overtime I found out there were other things named Poki, so now my creature is mainly called "Poki the Elephant Mouse". Ah, interesting. I suppose over time as more parents name their kids, uncommon names start becoming common. I know a couple Stephanies, though there are probably even more common names, especially names like John or Chris, I know quite a handful of Johns and Chris's. )
Yep. Thanks! I'm working on my Master's in Electrical Engineering. What major would you like to go for in the future?
You're welcome! Ah, I see. I can understand that. My family doesn't do much for birthdays, except that the birthday person picks where to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I can definitely relate. Each day passes trying to figure out what to do for the day and wondering when will it go back to normal, although since it's been 8 months since it started, I guess it almost feels like the new normal.
(Ooh, that's a cool name. If it's assuring at all, I've never heard the name before myself. I think what happened with me was that there was this movie that came out in the late 2000s which was a hit in a lot of Arab countries and it had a main character with my name in it, and thus the amount of namesakes just started to increase exponentially in those countries after that. But honestly as someone who lives in the U.S. where it isn't even all that common, I'm probably being dramatic. )
That's really impressive. I'd wish you the best of luck but I'm certain you won't need it. As for my major....I'm having a hard time sticking to just one so I'm probably going to go for a double major, maybe triple if it's plausible. One of them will definitely be journalism (or perhaps mass communications, the two are quite related after all ) and the other potential ones are stuff along the lines of linguistics, philosophy, psychology, history, or political science. And perhaps a minor in English or creative writing, because I do want to study those too. I honestly don't know. The only thing I'm sure about is the journalism part.
That's cool! And yeah, that's exactly how it feels. Online school has given me some semblance of a routine but I honestly am not enjoying it. I feel like I was a lot more creative and productive when my day was slightly less structured.
(Thanks. I guess it's unique to a certain degree. Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Memorable movies and other popular media tend to shift the names around in the list of common names. I think when Disney's Frozen took off, Anna and Elsa names went on the top of the leaderboard for a while. That's alright. It probably also depends on demographic and location in the US as well. )
Thanks. Well, I've got most of it down, though it gets tough once in a while. Wow, that's quite ambitious, especially if you're gonna go for three majors and/or some minors. It'll also be quite a hefty tuition bill as well. Journalism sounds like a pretty interesting major, and with your experience it definitely suits you. Lots of good ideas for majors that are quite related to journalism. At least you have your main major chosen, and that's a great start.
Yep! Pretty much. Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Everything is one a routine, but it's also a boring routine after a while. I can agree with the new lack of creativity and productivity as well. I do hope for the best in researchers finding a vaccine soon so that everything can be restored.
Yep. I guess at the moment it's Artificial Intelligence, but back when I was in elementary, middle, and high school, my favorite subject was science or physics.
Very cool. Those are some very practical skills.
Yep. They're all very visual subjects so it makes it easier for me to understand. What are your favorite subjects?
Hi ya'll. Just an FYI I'm gonna have really spotty activity for a while cause my old hand-me-down laptop finally broke, I'm looking for a new one (and a job to pay for the it ) Just thought I'd let ya'll know so you didn't think I was gone forever. K, bye till next time I'm on.
