On the bright side, I'm hoping my writing here will help me with writing my next paper. It is due in a week and I'm nowhere near done with it

Crossing my fingers for you. I have an Auntie who is a nurse, studying to become a doctor, but she's going to be taking a gap year soon cuz she's burned out. medical school is no joke

[HostileFren]

Yeah, I've been struggling at the end of nursing school, I could only imagine how hard medical school is. I definitely don't see myself continuing all the way to be a doctor, but nursing is full of so many different credentials and certifications, there is always something new to learn

Would you want to study anything in particular after you get your GED?

[Leyelle]

I'd like to take classes in art and dance, but I don't think i'd want to go to college/university for it. I might get a certificate to teach English as a foreign language because my parents suggest it, but I'm not sure yet.

[HostileFren]

That's really cool. Do you speak any other languages? I took spanish classes throughout middle and high school, but I'm pretty rusty because I haven't spoken any Spanish in around 4 years

[Leyelle]

no I don't. I live in the Dominican Republic, and am Dominican-American, but I don't speak Spanish, though I can read and understand it well enough to get around and live. Probably because none of my friends speak Spanish and I work online, so I just converse in English.

My father and brother both teach English professionally, and my parents suggested I get a certificate to do it too. If I do, all the adults in my family will have worked as teachers XD. But I'm not really interested in teaching English. I'm applying to work as a writing teacher.

[HostileFren]

Conversing in English definitely makes a lot of sense, most online things are already in English. I would love to improve my spanish-speaking skills but that's just another thing that I haven't had much time to work on. Although if you can read and understand it relatively well, I'd say you probably know more of the language than you are giving yourself credit for.
I took 6 years of Spanish and still struggled with speaking sometimes just because of the different grammar rules.
Being a writing teacher honestly sounds pretty cool! Would you prefer to teach online or in person?

[Leyelle]

I wouldn't mind teaching either way, but i'm applying online rn, because I speak English, and I couldn't teach in country in English XD.

I can only read enough to get around and buy things though, not like novels and stuff.

[HostileFren]

I took years of spanish classes and there is no way I'm reading a novel either without google translate Unforutunately, classes don't get into the intracacies of a lanugage like idioms, expressions or slang. Plus we mostly focused on words we'd need as a tourist.

Honestly me too, I could probably order some food without mispronouncing things too terribly. But that's about it

[Leyelle]

yeah, but i'm doing worse than you cuz I live here xd

[HostileFren]

It's all good, we're still young so we've got plenty of time to learn. maybe I'll start using Duolingo again, it is good to practice the basics

[Leyelle]

ahh, everybody talks about that site being so cursed lol

[HostileFren]

Yep the little owl guy definitely wants you to keep learning, but honestly, it was a good review the last time I used it. Plus they do have beginner stories that you can read to practice your reading comprehension. they are like elementary reading level though, so it feels like I'm reading a children's book, lol

[Leyelle]

I have no problem with reading kid's books lol, I just don't need an app for a stalker ex

[HostileFren]

I just don't need an app for a stalker ex

I never thought of it like this, but that's a pretty apt description XD Idk I just haven't found any other lanugage learning sites that are free and don't force you to start from the very beginning again

Just realized I should add descriptions (all compiled together for convenience) for the characters (cuz @Glofernwolfe asked on IG) so it's added above now XD

[Glofernwolfe]

Yay thank you!! I have added your DTIYS to my list of may art.

[Leyelle]

Yay! I can't wait to see what you create! I tried to make sure I added as much detail as possible to the descriptions listed above for convenience lol

How long is Alicia's hair?

[Leyelle]

Also a good question thanks for asking, it reaches nearly to her knees
