Where have I been?

[Madeleine Heilburg]

Hello, my darlings!
I hope that you all had a great Holiday, and got through the new year safe and sound? So, some may be wondering where I have been for a good while. I used to be pretty active and tried helping out during contests and special events, sadly I just almost vanished from the surface of Gaia for a long time.

The explanation is pretty much; university.
Some don't know this, but I recently passed my bachelor exam as a historian, and I decided to keep continuing my studies, at least until I got myself a masters degree. So that's where I am now! I am currently studying to get a masters degree as a historian who is qualified to work as a cultural heritage mediator (those fancy people that work at museums). This means that I have been having little time to myself, as the workload has become far greater than before.

My university colleagues and I are currently working, alongside a museum, on developing a podcast series that looks into the mentality surrounding witches, with a reference point in a famous witch trial that took place in the town where the museum is located, so that means that I have been very busy. I can't promise I will be super active further on as my studies are really packing a punch, but I will do my utmost to try and check in every day and see if there's something I can help with.

I just wanted to let everyone know.

Have a great day! Stay awesome and may you have good karma come your way heart heart heart

Thank you, my dear! Currently, I am on the last few days on a week-long exam, so I am stressing a little. I feel like these last couple of semesters have been so busy, but that's what getting a masters degree is apparently about (as one of my friends said eek )
But I am very happy all the same heart
Also, your avi is so cute, oh gosh!

I had noticed an absence and hoped you were doing well. That's all great to hear! It does sound busy but also like a lot of fun! ...except for that week-long exam. Eww

I am doing just peachy, thanks! The first exam is over and now I am just waiting for the next one. I admit that the Masters degree is pulling some teeth out, but I am enjoying every bit of it. I am looking forward to our upcoming project. We have to create a podcast in collaboration with a museum, so I am super stoked emotion_yatta
I hope you are doing well too? biggrin

That does sound like a huge project. @ .@ And fun. But huge. That's cool that your project also gives you some hands on skills related to what you want to do with your degree. At least, I assume the stuff you write for the podcasts could be similar to what you'd do on the job~

I am doing well. ^ __^;; I kinda have less energy nowadays so I haven't been up to much. Part of me misses being as busy as you are. The other part of me... knows that first part is crazy... and is content. XD;
