RE: Atmospheric pictures from our currently mild Belgian winter
What a lovely post! The cattle were the best. They seem really interested in you.
Congratulations on your Steemit anniversary. And good luck with your exams. I have a such an aversion to them that I actually walked away from an M.A. years ago because I wouldn't take my orals. Eventually had to start all over and take another 30 credits, at another institution, but this time a research paper substituted for the orals.
New Years for me was quiet... mercifully so. Rain, rain, rain. Here's to Steemit soaring in 2019.
Thanks a lot! They were indeed very curious but also cautious. I don't think they were used to a lot of human contact. That's quite drastic, but I totally get why. I'm not sure how it was with you but the department I study is rather small and after a while you get to know the professors rather personally. It makes oral exams so much nicer if there isn't such a power relation. I'm already curious how we will look back at steem in 2020 🙃
Walking away was a little extreme, but I thought I'd never need it. It was comparative literature--what do you use that for? Then I became a teacher and needed an MA for certification. I ended up knowing a lot about comparative literature :) Also, had so many credits I was certified in four subjects. Became sort of a joke in the school.
I do love those cows--beautiful!
