Sheian is always cute, but today she is looking extra pretty. ^^ I wonder where she's headin' with all those books...
"Hey Sheian, may I help you carry those heavy books?" :3 "Where ya heading off to today?" /smiles/ c:

Thank you. ;3
Probably going from mom's to dad's house or something. XD
I'll casually ignore the RP because I don't like RP, sorry!

Exciting! wait are her parents divorced? ;A;

... v///v I'm sorry Skelly. ;n; At least you can still smile about it and enjoy yourself regardless. That must have been hard to deal with at first...

That's okay! They divorced when I was 3 years old, I grew up with it. c:
Haha no harm done. <3

And then she looks extra adorable here, for whatever reason! O:
Did you slightly change the muzzle or something? I can't quite put my finger on what's different, but something is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. :'D
I changed the muzzle a little, yes. The hair is also more free and I made the petal more furry. XD The shading could also affect your perception. *put on monocle*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yeah, I notice now that you mentioned it. I do like the furrier sort of petals (and the shading, definitely). Little details that make a big difference. :3
so posh

"Signal Processing First".
Let the basics of electrical engineering begin!
Nooooo, not ew, Sheian is always awesome!
This looks great ^w^

I had to study from it for my big project haha
I've wanted to study Mechanical Engineering for really long but now I'm nto sure anymore
I mean wow Electrical Engineering is really pro as well
Thanks, Vaan. :'D

Ohhh, it was one of those big worky projects, in which you have to learn about different areas that correlate with your main primary one, aka "SAVE ME PLEASE, project".
It's good that you're able to take a look at both sides of the pieces, to see how to they fit.
You still have time to decide on what you want to follow, to experiment a little, but make sure your mind is clear in the end though!
Experimentation is vital at this point! No pressure though. Pressure tends to be a very nasty thing in these situations =/
You're very welcome c;

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I felt like throwing in the s-sound, sorry. XD
Yeah, that's right. I walked around with a Mechanical Engineering student yesterday, to see what the study's like. Might as well do the same with Electrical Engineering.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha, it's quite alright, it was funny xD
Oh that's good! That's what was I gonna suggest, since it's the easiest and most effective way to see it up close. What did you make of it? You've wanted to follow it for a very long time, so how did it appeal to you up close?
Exactly! Even if you end up not following it, you won't have regrets if you saw how it was, plus, it's always good information.

Courses were pretty cool. We followed half of a 'Lineart algebra' course, which I could only partly understand because I forgot most of what I knew about matrices (then again, I only knew about them because of a special subject at my school, and all the other people my age were like "WHATTT"). Then we followed half of a 'Material Engineering' course. It was so pro.
The rest was walking around the faculty and seeing the rest of the university and stuff. The library was awesome to see, but the rest was 'meh'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are specific math subjects, and since you like the overall of maths, although extremely worky, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Oh gosh, Matrices. I sure don't miss those ;v;
I studied them for a while at my maths subject, so that the ones that were planning on following specific areas like computer engineering and alike could have some advanced insight on things and experiment a little. The basic fundamental knowledge on what they are and how they work wasn't hard since I learned arrays at programming. Addition, scalar multiplication and Transpose were surprisingly easier that I thought, but those are the basic operations, but DANG, once the harder exercises started coming up, my brain died :< Orthogonal matrices, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors *shudders* Maths really isn't and probably never will be my strong point ;v;
But it's one of your favorites, and you're a smart girl, so you'll do fine ^w^ especially since you had some insight yourself on how they work, so it'll be just remembering and enhancing it with classes.
Oh wow! Material Engineering sounds really cool. Applying the properties of matter to lots of areas of science and engineering. That was obviously super pro indeed.
You will find it super cool when you start understanding all those complicated expressions and theories and be able to apply them to specific things, or just to daily life situations. it's a good feeling of achievement c:
Are you eager to start Uni?
Information wise, they always stand up. Physically though, guess the best ones out there take care of that.
My grandmother visited my cousin's University while she was there, and seemingly it's one of the top ones of the world, to the point where inside, you even have bus stops to take you from a to z with stops between intermediaries, with several buildings dedicated for each area of study, etc.
It's one of the biggest, too.
But heys, as long as the teachers are good and interesting, the physical part won't weight much.

"Eigenvalues"
I am laughing here
'Eigen' is a Dutch word hahahahaha
The Dutch word for eigenvalues is 'eigenwaarden', if I remember well
But it's too funny. XD Because English people pronounce it really differently.
A little. While studying from the Uni book, I find it really cool to be busy with things we don't get at secondary school. Then again, secondary school takes enough time as it is, so I'd rather focus on now than on later. C:
Awesome. :'D And yeah, you're right. I just don't take as much interest in the buildings, but I'm fine with them the way they are.

After some research, I found that the Etymology of the word is "eigen" + value, from the German EigenWert, Germanic: Eigen = own or self, identical in Dutch, being Wert=value, which cognates with the Dutch word waarde.
It's both the same meaning in Dutch and German, and it's so different from your point of view(Dutch) because they "borrow" the word from the -German- instead from the Dutch and add "value", and makes much more sense in the end in both Dutch and German because they pronounce it with words from their own vocabulary.
So, when they pronounce it, they pronounce it in German, and when you pronounce it, you pronounce it in Dutch, so it always sounds different in both cases.
German - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
Dutch - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia… (sound's a little low here, you'll probably need to raise the volume up a tad)
Us - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
This was an interesting thing to research. I had no idea. There is probably quite a few more words in which this occurs as well, whereas the same applies to pretty much every language I guess.
Haha, I know the feeling! I used to feel the same back then, but then I used to think that it was a completely new level of things, and that I was having a full time already with subjects that weren't half as hard, and still gave me a hard time sometimes, so I just opted by focusing on what I could at at the moment xD
Exactly~
I was a little apprehensive when I switched schools back then, and the layout and the school itself really didn't gave me good vibes but, once I got to meet the teachers, that didn't really matter anymore afterwards.

Hahahaha wow. And yeah, you're right. Germans pronounce the 'g' way more softly than the Dutch (not to mistake that for the 'ch', wow, Germans pronounce that just as loudly as the Dutch). I remember 'van der waals force' being another one of those. I can't really point out one with the 'ch' sound, though. Such a shame, because we take joy in seeing English people struggle to pronounce that. XD
Then again, we Dutch pronounce 'three' as if it were a tree.
Luckily. /w\

Isn't Dutch G "ch"? Pronounced in the back of the throat like a scratching sound? Or does it depends on the situations?
I read that in the Netherlands, on the south, the G is spoken differently, called the soft G, while on the North, called the Hard G, so I guess in the North it would sound much softer than it would on the South.
Van der walls force, is named after the Dutch scientist Johannes Diderik van der Waals. In this case, there is no etymology behind it nor partial translations, because it's named after someone. Although... isn't "waal" a river or something there? But it's probably not associated, as it most likely a family name.
In the end, they just add "force", being the only difference is that they don't borrow it from nowhere this time as it's a name.
But I guess it makes much more sense to you to in your head Vanderwaalskrachten than to the rest, because it has "Van der" in it xD
Hahaha, to tell you the truth, if I hadn't researched this, I would have NO IDEA whatsoever how to pronounce it, because in Portuguese, we don't do a partial translation, we do a full one, being " valor (value) própio (own)" xD
Oh wow, "Drie", you're right, so looked alike!
Haha, out of curiosity, I searched "tree", and it's "boom", which is akin to the German "Baum". "Boom" that cognates with the English word "boom"(present participle booming), or beam(tree). So much similarities, wow!
I'm sure things will work out well with you too ^w^ *huggles*

Depends on the word, somewhat. It's always a scraping sound, but you have the louder and the quieter sound. I think. And yeah, you're right. Soft G sounds much prettier, but it's also a little awkward. Soft G comes from less densely populated areas, so those people are often more laid-back than the stressy people from the west. A soft G feels - to me - like a slower worker than the hard G.
Yeah. xD
Yep. /w\ It's interesting once you dive into it. I find similarities between old Dutch and contemporary Flemish, English and German by just studying the Bible. It's also cool how many proverbs are biblical. For example, we have a proverb "it's a thorn in the eye". In the Bible, that expression comes along with "it's a pain in the ribs". Interesting to see how the eye made it into a proverb, but how the ribs didn't.
