Strawberry cake for me.

Haha, my mother has been doing that since I started coughing. I survived worse colds when I was alone but nope.

The course I am planning on studying is pretty new here so every university has a different course pattern. Also, the Indian schooling system is very different from yours. We don't even say grad school, I just use it on here to make it easier for people to understand.

Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement. I'll definitely let you know how it goes.

Well, hopefully she gets time off and plans something awesome. Spending time with friends sounds good too. Either way, seems great! Do you have birthday cake?

School and Driver's test. Wish me luck!

I hope you have a good time nonetheless. I'm gonna be spending time with family and we're gonna have cake together.

Yes! I wouldn't call it fun, but I do enjoy it somewhat since it's important to me. I'm doing a lot of studying.

Aw. I have missed talking to you. You're always incredibly nice and great to talk to. I had a good Christmas and New Year too. I enjoy the holiday season a lot. Looks like you and me have a birthday coming up soon too. Any plans?

It does. It just takes a little while getting used to being at home again. Thankfully my mom doesn't impose. She just expects me to do a little household chores and then lets me be.

We get to pick our specialization in the second year of graduate school in one university while in other we do a regular course on development which teaches all aspects and then choose our specialization when we work. I think the course pattern differs everywhere. Yes, that is exactly my primary goal. I grew up in cities but I hope to move to rural areas, live in villages and work with and for the people there.

I'm glad to hear that! Not much is new. Been quite busy and then returned here.

I was happy to get a VM from you. Did you have a good Christmas and New Year? I hope you did!

That's exactly how I had been living all this while. I recently moved back home for 6 months so it's a lot lesser responsibilities. Mom just expects me to help with a few chores and that's it.

I do actually. As you may know, I live in India and poverty and unemployment is high. So is illiteracy. I am hoping to specialize in livelihoods but like I have been told by a lot of people, I am going to take it slow and decide after a year of grad school. We get to choose our specialization in the second year of school. I have already worked at an organisation that deals with microfinance and livelihoods but I was to move to the villages and work there.

Oh well, I relate to you on so many levels. I am not very good with responsibilities, as I have learnt in the last couple of years.

I am doing an under grad course in finance but I have been working in the social sector. I am planning to do my post graduation in development or social work.

I've been good, thank you! How about you? It's been too long.
