<p>It seems I'm not as free as I thought. Have been offered (and sort of demanded I take it) this "option":
<p>stay at WS nxt year and do 3 subjects: maths/stats, physics, english.
at the same time do a paper extramurally (by correspondence) from MU - <a href="/title/programming+fundamentals">programming fundamentals</a> or similar. The school will pay for the course.
<p>She wants an answer by tonight, school needs answer by tommorrow.
<p>Your opinion would be highly helpful.... :|
<p>Factors and things:
<p>* She says it'll keep my options open for the future wrt: choice of university and such, not just having to stay at UT. and if i bum (her word) out of UT then i won't <a href="/title/die+horribly+in+a+gutter">die horribly in a gutter</a> (my phrase).
<p>* I'd have to stay at WS, and I'm not sure I'm prepared to do that.
<p>* I've already told everyone I'm leaving, heh.
<p>* at least it's only 3 classes & heaps of spare time.
<p>* sorta give me a years reprive, 'tho I might just get more and more depressed.

<p>I made <a href="/title/Scribe">level 4</a> yesterday. It's slightly pathetic that I'm proud of that.

<br>Go there for propaganda. I'm here to rant.
<p>The company who (most notably) do the dubbing of <a href="/title/Dragonball+Z">Dragonball Z</a>. They're responsible for the degree of censorship which has pissed a lot of people off. Pros and cons of this:
<p>Pros:<ul>
<li>Made <a href="/title/Dragonball">Dragonball</a>/<a href="/title/Dragonball+Z">Z</a>/<a href="/title/Dragonball+GT">GT</a> very well known, and hugely increased it's fanbase. I for one would never have discovered the show (or how much I like <a href="/title/anime">anime</a>) without this input.</li>
<li>It's easier (debatably) to watch television in your native language. And some people don't care for subtitles. This is well-covered at the node <a href="/title/Subtitled+or+Dubbed%253F">Subtitled or Dubbed?</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Cons:<ul>
<li><b>Seriously</b> censored. No swearing, beer becomes "sports drink" or some such, blood is edited out, the most severely censored aspect is violence. In an action/fighting type show - is that a <a href="/title/Good+Idea">Good Idea</a>? In several places scenes are so badly cut the story doesn't make sense anymore.

<p>You killed me, last night. I slept badly and did something to my <a href="/title/neck">neck</a> later as a result. You interpreted that as hostility, I think. I returned a <a href="/title/robotics+book">robotics book</a>, but couldn't look you in the eye, because of the injury. You walked off, then.
<p>I am still sad. This will last for months, then I will find a new <a href="/title/Hope+for+all+humanity">Hope for all humanity</a> (or at least my part of it).
