I am pretty much comfortable with the fact that I didn't pass the second year of my four year studies for...god, you don't want to know which time. However, I'm not comfortable with the fact that, when I get to the last year someday, I might have someone from 2001 generation I'm a part of teaching me. Sofija is a better student than Mila and me, she is at the beginning of the last year now and she was rather surprised to see one of our class mates from the first year as professor's assistant. And then, well, I have to wonder. When I was 18, looking at what to choose for my degree, I picked something I really liked. I could have picked English language and I would've probably obtained my diploma by now...but I always thought of English language as some sort of an universal, rather easy thing which wouldn't be that interesting to get deeper into. I could have picked my native language, but what would be the use? I'd have to spend the rest of my life at a highschool or elementary school teaching a bunch of kids with hormones set on overdrive. This way, I hope to find something more creative to do for living.

I think the most of the site problems are solved now, apart from the ongoing issues with every single Gravatar plugin I try to use. They all either display no gravatars at all, or they display the default one for every single person. Why do the Gravatars hate me? I seriously don't get this anymore.
The commenter plugger and the threaded comments plugin hate each other, since the first one is plugging *me* after I reply to someone else's comment. I can live with the ridiculous idea of plugging myself on my own website, but it's still...stupid.
I am currently making myself some link buttons. I feel bad because I owe one to Sam and I just SUCK at making buttons. So, well, hope these on the domain page are at least satisfying.
And I am desperately looking for a plugin which would enable me to blog in Serbian as well, without too much fuss or without installing another WP.

now playing!
Hehe, your mom seems really funny. Actually, she really reminds me of my dad--perfectly willing to express he own opinion but not willing to hear others (at least, when it comes to little things).
ANYWAY--congrats on the gift. Oh, and it would be very uncomfortable to see someone you went to school with as your teacher's assistant... totally weird. I actually got a little shudder when I thought about that...
I am jealous. XP

God. You have no idea about how difficult ENglish can get. Because it's not all facts and figures, you really have to work at it. Think and look at all different meanings and stuff. Quite interesting. But not for all, obviously
And I'm glad you're cool about not passing. ANd I agree, it'll be totally weird to see one of you're batchmates as a teacher's assistant. Hope that doesn't happen to you.
And that is an awesome gift. And TWO RHCP Shows! God...i'm jealous!
I don't have much to say, but I do agree that it would suck to have to finish your last year in uni with having someone from your class teaching you. In my opinion, that would be just... humiliating, I guess.
Your gifts are awesome.
Sucks that yu failed your year
*lol* Yes, that's weired, having someone teaching you that started studies with you. Luckily I haven't had this yet because I am one of those who finished the fastest, but I am working at University partly and I had to look through tests - also of people I started studying with. THAT was weired.
And plugging yourself on your own website sounds ... kinda funny
Lol english can sometimes be difficult.
lol. it's like that, if you reply on your own comment place, it'll plug you. lol. xD
OOh guitar player. my bf would love that magazine since he's a guitarist.. but we dont have it in singapore, shucks. *hail~*
Thats cruel! I hope your not too bummed out about failing your second year! Uni just sounds too hard! Lol. I hope the future years work out better for you!
I'm glad that in Spain is so difficult to be a teacher assistant. I honestly think noone should be a teacher before their 25 years of age: 30 for guys
BTW, I myself I'm looking for such WP plugin you mentioned. I found some at WordPress codex, but I am not too convinced about them yet. Before, I had two installations of WP pointing to the same database, but it's a pain... If I come up to something interesting, I will definitely let you know.
And now that you switched my Linguistics freak mode I must add that I like English as a language, but I'm pretty fed up with its suppossed "universality". Somewhat, I'm happy that people in general from most Spanish speaking countries are still "English impaired"
And I would really like to learn Serbian.
You can work at your own uni? God, that's great...they actually disallow it here, it's against my uni's policy. A friend of mine worked in our department's library during the summertime and, as soon as the school year started, they fired him.
Mmmm John. Always perfect for saving a day.
Uhm, yes, we are allowed to work at our own uni. And almost everyone I know wouldn't say no to such a job because it's just nice and so much easier to handle (time!) than other jobs - you can work in between two courses and such. Very cool.
