Sorry about that, Suzume. Yes, it has only been a week, and there must have been something wrong with my brain at the moment when I wrote it to you.
I can understand why you love the system in Finland. It's very pleasant for children and young adults, clearly makes your life a lot easier. In US, well, we have to pay tens of thousands of tuition each year. The tuition will increase by 3%, even under such an economic depression. I really don't know what the university is thinking...
Well, des is a little bit busy right now since his swimming season has begun. He arrived home, exhausted, and fell asleep two hours before the regular time. I'm glad that you have accepted an affiliation, and I will ask Des to make an animated icon sprite for Mawley soon after he becomes less busier.
And of course, you don't have to make sprites all the time, and you're not supposed to. Just notice me whenever you make a new one, and I'll be at your thread as soon as I see your message. Are you going to take the final exams soon? And how is your university stuff going? Things become a lot different when you complete high school, and you'll enjoy it, I'm sure.
Enjoy the rest of the week, and I'll talk to you later.
