@matrixjorel I had no idea what I wanted to do after I failed to get into the Animation major. I tried CS but it drove me crazy so I settled on Italian since I already have a gajillion credits

@pony Maybe i'll find out what to major in after my mission... still got two years there!

@matrixjorel ah cool!! Any ideas where you'd like to serve?
Monday, 19-Mar-12 08:33:23 UTC from web-
@pony I'd love to go out of the states, but anywhere's really fine with me.

@matrixjorel You might have guessed I served in Italy. It actually helped me feel less self conscious about talking to people because I felt like it was OK to make mistakes, being foreign and all.. I'm generally pretty quiet irl.

@pony I know, so far school has been so stressful I don't get out as much as I used to... but in a month, school will be done!

@matrixjorel holy cow the semester is going by so fast! I love BYU but.. there are some drawbacks.. the expectations for student performance sometimes seem really high. I couldn't deal with it so I got an appointment with the psychiatrist at the SHC and got diagnosed for anxiety and depression which allows me to receive letters from the University Accessibility Center asking my professors to give leniency on assignment due dates and class absences. I came into BYU just fine.. but after 5 years I'm burnt out.

@pony Wow, that's scary...I mean, it's good that you got help and whatnot, but I don;t want to push myself that hard... I hope that I can handle myself. These first two semesters were more for me to get used to living on my own, school has been tough but not overwhelming yet.

@matrixjorel nah. Most don't have the same issues I've had I think. It's not just the expectations, it's family and other things as well that have made it difficult. Overall I'm very happy now, even if I do feel like it's been an eternity at BYU.
Monday, 19-Mar-12 08:49:08 UTC from web-
@pony Eh, it'll all be worth it in the end... or rather, it better be, or i'm going to have to smack somebody!
Monday, 19-Mar-12 08:52:43 UTC from web-
@matrixjorel yup! I hope so too. I mean the job market is bleh still.. but at least I have work right now and the career I'd like to work in has plenty of jobs available. I'd like to go to graduate school for Social Work
Monday, 19-Mar-12 08:54:44 UTC from web-
@pony Sounds like you have it all planned out! Wish I could say the same for me...
Monday, 19-Mar-12 08:58:18 UTC from web-
@matrixjorel It took me long enough. xP heh* By virtue of the fact that you got into BYU at all it seems you're pretty intelligent. I'm sure it will work out for you too, and hopefully more smoothly than it did for me

@pony We'll see... so far, ponies help ease the stress, and give me something to do other than homework!
Monday, 19-Mar-12 09:16:31 UTC from web-
@matrixjorel Me too. :D It makes me wonder how things might have been different if I'd had ponies 2-3 years ago when things were toughest.
Monday, 19-Mar-12 09:19:58 UTC from web-
@pony I can't wait to come back after m mission to two years worth of new episodes to watch! I mean, the two years will be hard to wait, but it'll be worth it!
Monday, 19-Mar-12 09:23:06 UTC from web-
@matrixjorel oh how sweet it will be! I really envy you now. :D
Monday, 19-Mar-12 09:27:01 UTC from web-
@pony But I need to try and finish all my fanfic stuff before I leave... worse than homework... x(
Monday, 19-Mar-12 09:29:21 UTC from web-
@matrixjorel lol. Editing is only ever entertaining to me when it's good writing to begin with, and even then only sometimes. Have you put in your papers already? Also, I feel I need to ask you, do you have a favorite pony?
Monday, 19-Mar-12 09:32:13 UTC from web-
@pony Well, you should check out my stories, I think they're well written. I'm biased though. I'm hoping to have my papers in next month, so i;ll get my call by May. And favorite as in Mane 6 or background? Or just overall?
Monday, 19-Mar-12 09:36:22 UTC from web-
@matrixjorel overall, but I'm curious as to your favorite CMC, princess, mane, and background
