Well, it's happy until you read the part where there's likely less than 100 left.

I recently got word that I can start collecting my university certificate this Monday. Ohh, graduation ceremony is tentatively on September due to COVID, but that aside, this really means that I am graduating for real, like I have said a few times (and before I realise that I had to take another term. But this is for realsies!)

Oh we definitely are. It will just be delayed, which... is actually a good silver lining because that means more time to prepare for the in-person ceremony. ^^

For now, just seeking a job as I have said. My CV is finalized, I'm going to put in those applications.

And of course, last but not least, thanks for the congratulation.

Oh well. This could lead to "kinitted" shunts that are flexible which help protect veins. Or something like that.

The URL is a bit missleading.

"estonia-becomes-the-only-country-in-the-world-led-by-women"

I mean, there is New Zealand where the head of state and the head of government are women.

True I guess they are referring to leaders who are elected. Governor Generals are appointed.

While I don’t THINK I’ve ever suffered a spinal-cord injury, I do deal with orthostatic hypotension, so if this can help me then sign me the flip up. I’m tired of getting dizzy from stretching. XD

They are very high in food processor costs... you'll need a new one almost every month. Because raw meat is bad for your food processor.
Sorry, the zoo I worked in had a anteater. And the food for ant eaters need to be the consistency of baby food.

I -greatly- misunderstood what you were talking about at first. I was wondering where you'd get a new tamandua every month and why you would put it in a food processor.
