I shall stand fast.*

I've started looking into European universities. This is even more urgent with each review of application requirements and moentary calculations.

I hate the damn gringo beurocracy.

So I'm going to start with this list of universities in the Netherlands on Wiki.

I guess I'll focus on the major cities: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague (Den Haag), Utrecht, Eindhoven.

There appears to be surprisingly little variety of Bio programs. However, if I do go to Europe, I'd do a Masters, which is 1-2 years. You have no idea how reassuring I find this.

And I have no idea what to study to be a translator (other than "translation studies"). Though it's interesting that "one translates best into the language that one knows best."

Major "ugh" all around, textured with various screams.


On a side note, I'm still a confuzzlement of anger, sadness and fear. The little Sands icon*** is small comfort (though it be a thing of beauty)..

There's some NSFW**** fanart by literarylemming on Jan 8's entry of rayne_shippers, and there's quite a few Next of Kin and Angel chapters updated.
Do that meme of "10 fictional characters you'd have sex with" (as seen on earthwhatwere's LJ).
And check out all the sites (+) on Neil's post.
Read slammerkinbabe's post on male rape.
Check out the giant realistic scultpures of people by Ron Mueck.
