...it’s been 84 years, yada yada. 

We are SO SORRY for taking this long! It’s just, you know, life. We kept being busy, or free when the other was busy. It’s complicated. 

“You,” Yang snarls, fingers gripping his yukata and slamming him against the wall; Qrow’s on his feet abruptly, but too unnerved to stop her. Adam’s smile is already curved cruelly. Her entire body trembles with the stress of reigning herself in. “You sick fucking bastard--”

“Yang, hold on a minute--” Qrow tries to say, reaching out. 

“No, let her,” Adam says, voice agonizingly calm. “Clearly there’s something important Yang needs to discuss with me.” 

“She was a child,” Yang hisses, shoving him harder, eyes wild and fiery. Something calls deep in her heart, but it’s too distant for her to hear anymore. “She was fourteen and you were nineteen. How dare you--” 

“Her soul isn’t,” Adam murmurs, smirk still grotesquely twisted. “Her blood isn’t. She’s mine, Yang; you all are, and I can do whatever I want with you. You belong to me.” He laughs once, loud and cold, and Yang’s fists tighten. “I did the Cat a favor. Nobody would ever have loved that monster.” 

Hi! Thanks for the ask! =D

I didn’t get all three of my degrees at the same time. I got my first two degrees, in Creative Writing and Costume, Hair, and Makeup Design for Theater, concurrently and went back later for my degree in Agriculture. The first two made sense to do together, and I was able to work on a lot of my projects at the same time for both of those degrees. I was able to do a lot of my own theater writing and get credit across the board for small productions. Agriculture I did on its own, and honestly I don’t think I’d have been able to double major that at all. Ag science is hard. 

I was really lucky in that, even though I was in a lot of honors programs and classes, I never fell too far behind on my work. It is hard! And had I added another major, or a minor, with my Ag degree I’d’ve suffered quite a bit for it because there were a few classes that truly challenged me. (Lookin at you, Plant Pathology…)

My best advice there? Keep on plugging away at what you’re doing, but also dedicate one day a week to self care. (For me, self care was sitting in my PJ’s watching TV with my dog every Sunday.) One day to do some guided breathing exercises and not think about the work I had ahead of me for my classes was really a lifesaver.

As for cool school stories? I think the biggest one is befriending the maintenance crew. After awhile of saying hello and chatting with them, they’d do things like give me rides to class on snowy or rainy days, and if there were broken vending machines they’d let me pillage them and stuff like that.
