Another Birthday

[kiramori]

Today is my birthday, I'm turning 23.

The year rolled so fast, I can't believe I've posted about my last birthday here too, that means it's been more than a year I've been using this website.

Whilist last year I was in a good mood and with plenty of time, I can't really say I'm all that confortable today.

I've started a new job and I'm still adapting to my new routine, while that is, I'm having to work on my thesis for uni so I can finish it by the 10th of July. Things are very busy on my side so I haven't had time to work on my creative stuff or even chat properly with my friends.

Still, today was great. I spent time with family, got some gifts, ate a bunch of stuff I like and played with some friends.

Hopefully I'll be able to come back to doing stuff I like soon, there's a short story in my head that I couldn't really realize yet since my time is so short to work on that.

Anyways, sorry for the absence, I'll be back soon enough, so I ask for a bit of patience.

And happy birthday for me :D

You are forgiven and properly thanked! I thought I had responded sooner but dreamwidth was weird so I guess my reply didn't came through.

Happy Birthday, Fellow Gemini!

I didn't know your age, which seems young to me now. I am starting to get a sense of people from their text style, but I don't always know the biographical details.

Well, to start with...what is your thesis on? And what level of thesis is this? In the US, it is not usual for undergraduate students to complete a thesis (although some do), but it may be different where you are.

I mean, there's a lot of performance in things I write for the internet specifically, and here I sometimes feel I'm like a bit of a character safe from the genuine vent posts, but I do try to assimilate a lot of my favourite writers in my writing style so maybe that makes me look old.

Also thanks! I'm gemni by just a few hours, since I'm in the last day of the month.

Maybe thesis isn't the best term for it, I mean, it is a capstone project, I think Graduation Project is the correct term, but these are but translations of the term we use in portuguese here so the use case might not be 100% accurate. Anyhow, it is the project I need to finish in order to graduate from college.

It is both a research paper and a practical project of computer science. I'm working on an acessibility software for people who have disabilities to be able to play games more comfortably. Currently I'm struggling badly with it, but it has some things coming along already.

"Capstone project" is what it is usually called in US universities, but sometimes to be simple, just talk about my "Master's thesis", even though I did not actually have one of those.
