Have You tried looking some language enthusiast clubs, or meetings? Maybe there is something like that in your area?
And yeah, classes and tutors are expensive :(

Oh no, December is December and it's still not here. Besides here we have one more holiday, that's all about dark autumn and divination and I'm not going to miss out on it!
How about You?

Oh, sorry to hear that. But also I checked my national postal service and they seem to be delivering to most places (unless the country closed its borders all together), so there is a chance that it would reach You too. I know that while I can't send anything bigger to States (due to tarriffs), letters are still exchanged. Similarily, while the Canadian postal service held protest, they still delivered my letter. Though my friend couldn't post me anything back. So, who knows maybe You're in a better situation, than You think You are?


As far as I can see, your command of English is excellent and I bet the atmosphere during the classes is very warm :) I think you've never mentioned your mother language, what is it if not a secret?

There should be some, but I'm very shy when it comes to social events with people I don't know to be honest :ehmeh:: I just can't force myself into talking to someone. It's really easier on the Internet haha We had such a club at my university but I've graduated already :mrgreen:

Oooh what holiday is it? :ahhh:
In my country we don't have Christmas on the 25th of December (it's celebrated on the 7th of January, however we are not very religious which is why despite it being an official holiday, people just take it as an extra day-off I think), and the main holiday is the New Year. In contast to you, for some reason the preparations start really early, there are already signs like "Happy New 2026 Year" and decorations everywhere. It distracts me a lot and I don't really understand why does it happen, because I don't like this feeling of the transience of time so to say

Hmm :think: Probably the letters still can be delivered here. There are some commercial postal services that can ship anything from anywhere and to anywhere. I only know that we can't ship anything to Ukraine and vice-versa due to political reasons, however people somehow manage to do it
Well, if you hard try enough, you might find a way

Honestly not really. I'm not reading enough for that and it only makes sense if I can review new manga.
But maybe I'll make a new youtube channel in the future. I thought about doing animatics. Talking about fandoms while drawing a little bit. We'll see 8-)

Oh yeah, I totally agree! Me and her just switched around a few letters so that was our only connection. It wasn't a friendship but maybe it'd have turned out like that if I had more time. So it's okay. I don't even know if I still have her adress. Maybe I'll just write her a surprise letter like - Hey, you know me? 👀

It's good you have an appointment soon! Fingers crossed 🫂
Are these meds for vitamin deficieny? Definitely should check my blood too.

I'm okay, thanks for asking! Right now there's a lot of organisation stuff I have to take care off. I've a mold and humidity problem in my appartment. I documented everything for my landlord. Yeah idk, my heater isn't working correctly since a longer time and no matter how often I called he didn't take it seriously. But this time I documented everything. We'll see how it goes. He'll take a look at my appartment on tuesday :ehmeh::

Aw, thank You :) Though as for the atmosphere, I've no idea to be honest.

You did clock me with my country of origins. It's not really a secret, but in recent years I've noticed people changing their behaviour, when they learn it (not that it was never a case, but You know what I mean).
Anyway I'm Polish and the holiday was St. Adrew's day :)

Oh I absolutely understand the unease. Same. But at the same time the more You try, the somewhat easier it gets.
Do You maybe have some contact details of the people You were in the club with? Maybe You can organise Yourself through zoom, or something like that, if You no longer live in the same place?

It's the orthodox calendar timing, isn't it? Oh goodness, the whole month of "happy new year" sounds indeed like a bit much! I wouldn't feel great with it too! (Then again I don't like New Year in the first place, especially after the last year :()

I'd hope there is a way to post to and from your country. Again, it seems that our postal service still sends letter pretty much everywhere. Don't know how long it might take, of course, or if there are higher chances for the letter getting lost, but still. :)

Oh, I see, and it makes sense. Animatics? Wow, that's impressive! Good luck with that plan!

You absolutely should! There is nothing more delightful than an unexpected letter! ^^

Definitely have your blood work done! I've been told to take vit. D, but the meds are for SAD. They are mood stabilizers. I've almost cried at the doctor appointment, cause she wanted me to get psychiatrist consultation first, though there are no slots for whole month (no scheduling for the next year either). She relented and I must say that after a week I'm already started to feel better. :)

How did it go with your landlord? Also can You contact some tentants organisation, cause mold is seriously dangerous! So sorry to hear You need to deal with all that!
