Today I finished college [I Finished College]

@Yulianna Everything is very good. I haven't said to anyone else. I got a First! I am thinking about you as you start your finals. Hope everything turns out right. Do you remember when we were kids? Can't believe we are finishing uni! Love your emojis.

@Blodyn 🇺🇦❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 a first! that is brilliant! i am so happy for you. 🤗

... and yes, i well remember when we used to chat so many years ago.

@Yulianna Yulianna, I shall be thinking about you as you take your finals. You be sure to tell me when you finished your last exam and when you get your results. Always with you, my friend and, well, my sister.

@Blodyn 🤗 i completed and submitted all my course work weeks ago. i have presented the final version of my dissertation, 30,000 words on [i]Great Powers, Little Wars: WWIII 1949 to the present day.[/i]

monday, one week of exams - seven papers over five days.

@Yulianna Your dissertation subject sounds so up to date. You must have been thinking about your beautiful country as you wrote it. Mine was on the factors that produce regional art with examples drawn from Wales and from Africa.
Best wishes, Yulianna, for next week.
I have a week of life guard training. Exam next Friday.
Shall be thinking about you all week!

@Blodyn 🇺🇦🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 thank you... i will probably be pretty quiet next week, though i will try to drop in each evening to say hello to friends.

your dissertation sounds perfect for your subject. a lot of ground to cover there.

@Yulianna Yes, I really enjoyed it. We had no libraries open last summer. I got loads of quotations from living artists on a tv series about African Art! I had 83% for my dissertation!
I do not expect to hear from you until your exams are over, but Yulianna I shall be thinking about you and wishing you well! we come a long way and it ain't been easy! Our two countries been through a lot!

@Blodyn 🇺🇦🌻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 this is true... but we will survive, or go down fighting.

@Yulianna I love that thought! My father's generation were where you are now. So many of my teachers in school had been jailed for tearing down English road signs. But now we have road signs which are in Welsh first and English after. But it took people willing to go to prison to get that. I know you are fighting for your country now. I read the Economist each week.

@Blodyn 🤗
