Hi guys!
HL: visiting here and reading through the highs and lows of the last year. Cannot believe we've been in this mad limbo for almost 2 years now! Glad everyone seems to have gotten through it ok and hopeful for a closer to normal 2022. Though the needle on normal has definitely shifted. Yesterday my brother sent me a photo from a busy dock with no distancing, masks and I was nervous even with vaccinations in place haha.
Major life highlight is that we have a new baby daughter as of August! It's bizarre to think as a kid I had this plan to be married with 2 kids by 30...the plan was scrapped as I got older and got other priorities but I guess my subconscious didn't let it go because here I am. Also as a kid my vision was limited to achieving this and career goals. Now that I am here, trying to soak it in and be mindful of where to go from here.
Weird light: we old! Netflix now classifies some of my beloved childhood anime as retro... Cardcaptor Sakura, InuYasha, NGE were among the list.

Always good to be back husky
And I forget things now so I can only imagine how it gets with that many more years of memory! This is our second daughter. My eldest will be 3 in February!

It's so nice to see you, Fen. Huge congratulations on becoming a mother once again! I'm glad you're in a good place despite all the madness of this last year or so.
HL: baked a carrot cake for my dad's birthday tomorrow! If it tastes as good as it looks, it'll be a big success. First time I've baked a layer cake on my own.

Congratulations to fen from me too!! It's good to hear from you after so long. I meant to say so a bit sooner but there were a few distractions this past week!
Anyway, today's highlight: official confirmation of my master's degree! I already knew what mark I'd got, but the process of applying for and starting the PhD programme meant it was technically "interrupted" so I was concerned there could be a delay. So I'm glad to finally know for sure that I'll have evidence of all the work I put in.

Actually getting the PhD is still a bit far off - at the moment I'm only part-time but that will change if I can get a scholarship. The degree programme is just titled "Japanese", same as the masters and my undergraduate degree, but especially at this level that can incorporate a lot of different things. Mine is going to be translation-related.

I'm so sorry husky, but this is literally how your Google translation has shown up here.

Aha, I see. It still sure is a machine translation, but I understand now what you wanted to say. Thanks husky!

Highlight: So far not feeling too bad after getting my covid booster yesterday. I was quite tired out from it last night, but I'm hoping there won't be much more to it than that.
