...wow, the longest place I ever lived was eight years, and that was more than ten years ago now. I've moved between cities about once every four years since I was ten. I am really, really about ready to stop now.
She has such interesting world-building! It's a pity it is rife with skeevy consent issues. *sigh* And the stuff with F'lar and Lessa was none too pretty, either. Ew ew ew ew.
I think I had hair longer than shoulder-length for a sum total of like three years of my life. It definitely did not suit me. Admittedly, part of this is that I never learned how to deal with it--I cannot do a ponytail that is not at the base of my neck for the life of me, and good luck keeping it out of my face then--but part of it is just that I look silly with long hair.
I do pretty well in school, but if grad school was just MORE CLASSES I wouldn't be bothering--I'm getting sick of undergrad, to be honest. But I took a job in a lab a while back and I love that like burning, and grad school is supposed to have waaaaaay more focus on experiments and less on classes themselves, and I am all in favor of that. Plus I'll get paid. (Well, maybe not if I end up using grad school as an excuse to move to the UK, since their system of funding grad students is really sucky if you are not a citizen of the EU, but frankly I *should* be getting paid as a graduate student, since I'll also be running around doing experimental work and TAing and that sort of thing.)
