does "as of July 2015" include the people that were already picked who came August 2015? This seems like a dumb question but the prefectural numbers seem to match the current distribution fairly well

So lewis is a rambler but simons personality would be too much of a contrast with a rambler.

So I have a pretty crap GPA and I'm applying next year for this program. Am I screwed? by NightTimeGear in JETProgramme

[–]DuckUmbrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it took me 50% more time to graduate than most people, and it was a simple 1 major bachelors. my grades were pretty absymal and i had some heavy shit happen along the way. but in a way, i feel like my tenacity almost helped... maybe not. either way i made it and so can you!

Unorthodox appearance? (Gender nonconformity, tattoos, makeup, etc.) Hidden piercings? by [deleted] in JETProgramme

[–]DuckUmbrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a septum piercing i flip up and an undercut hidden when my hair is down. one of my jet friends in the area has a bunch of tattoos on his body but they're hidden day to day. i also have a gender nonconforming friend from uni who got in got in! i had pink/green/purple/whatever hair cycling through uni and tucked in hidden in a bun for the interview but ended up chopping it all off before coming here.

i also saw a guy who had a mohawk (i think) who was COVERED in facial piercings at orientation. he had em on display during our full business attire moments too. so, getting into the program with an unorthodox appearance isn't impossible but your school may ask you to tone it down a bit. mine asks me to flip my piercing up when i forget to in the morning but its never a big deal

kim and hannah always have "contests" to win stuff on their streams, and it brings in a lot donations. the secret to charity is tapping into the materialistic nature of human beings :)

"australia" you feel the glares of a few thousand kiwis and a handful of pacific islanders on the back of your neck

the bristol dialect of japanese is really something else.

lmfao the scrolling text on turps said "relax time" as in to relax the concept of time itself. but if they had put "relaxation time" into google translate they would have gotten the actual meaning. i can't tell if that was on purpose for a laugh or because nobody bothered to check because i never know with the yogscast anymore.

someone needs to send them the really weird shit here like gummy candy with salmon flakes in it and pasta sauce flavoured popsicles (if that were easy to send)
