"They say you shouldn't give out much identifying information, but honestly, fuck it, at this point even I believe I'm a fiction piece." Michael runs their hands through their hair and is sitting in some library-- the stacks are behind them and they're just... They're masked up and they're sitting there and they look.

So tired.

"I just... I got so many messages from people asking how I did it, what special effects I used, the wig I wore--" They paused. "I even got a job offer in post production for the Industry. I might still take it. But, uh--"

"Like, on the one hand, I remember-- I remember the CG work, the model, the voice changer--" they paused. "and. on the other. I remember it actually happening. the sharp moment of pain, and discontinuity. Walking among... people I didn't even know existed."

"... am I just losing my grip?" They take a deep breath. "That's enough of that though I came to talk about my classes."

"So I'm in nerd school for nerds, I'm understanding calculus..." They sigh. "I... I should start this over."

Michael should know by now, though, that it's hard to get badgernet to get rid of content.

Okay, I thought it was, like, one per class. That makes more sense, if you took 15 classes, you would die.

[She's 12, she doesn't know university.]

[boldlydanforth]

Yeah I don't think they allow anyone to take that many.

... I'm not even sure there are that many 1 unit courses...

[nijistaryume]

That's weird that they'd cost different amounts, though. How come?

[boldlydanforth]

Long story short? How many hours you're expected to take for the course.

Short story long? each unit is supposed to be like... one hour a week in class, not counting lab time. and then there's hours of study per week other than that.

[nijistaryume]

Huh. So you have long classes, and there's fewer of them. I always kinda wondered how it worked.
