Uyyyy...
My dean/former boss in the states, fresh from a meeting with the academic powers that be, has finally swung to their side and instructed me to find a studio focused on structures.

It doesn't exist here, even at the undergrad level.

I've got two months left and I haven't produced -anything-. I fill the better part of my days just trying to claw my way to the top of an international pile of bullshit. At home, they can't decide what hoops to make me hop through next to stay enrolled at their little oasis of capital-M Modernism. Over here, they're only too happy to let me pick poppies all day, so long as I'm only staying a semester.

I'd be almost ready to chuck grad school altogether if I could work legally in the EU.

The really funny, depressing part of it is that I -want- to work! I'm here to learn, dammit, and I'll give 20 hours a day with the smallest prod, so gimme some learnin already!

Ugh.

I know what you mean about wanting to work. It seems like whenever I get really interested in putting a lot of effort into a task, that task is taken away from me, perhaps replaced by something far less appealing.

So there's seriously no chance of transferring anything back?

Ah, we'll work it out somehow. I'll take something with a fancy title so they can save face, and they'll let me back. Maybe.

But the studio I tried -today- is appealing, so perhaps life will be warm and furry after all.

(yours too)

Tell Graeme I'm walking around in his old trainers.

What was today's studio?

And Graeme's old trainers? Eh?

There's always German girls. My current curiosity is Russian girls, though...

I would be inclined to think you're overstating your tribulations ... if! it weren't for your "Ima gonna esplode" icon.
