FRIENDS! @scriblitula and I SIGNED THE CONTRACT FOR A STUDIO IN GHENT TO LIVE IN! TOGETHER! NEXT YEAR! FOR A FULL YEAR!!!!
we’re gonna do the belgian student situation of student’s room in the week, home with parents in the weekend (Lilou sometimes at my family’s place, sometimes with her parents in France, sometimes in the studio for some #metime, prob)
the studio is rly pretty and quite big and well-furnished and well-situated with easy buses for my leg and we’re moving in in september and WE CAN’T WAIT!!!!! we’re already planning all our days and mentally adding the remaining furnishings (i’m spending way too much time on secondhand websites)
lilou is gonna do a post-graduate on dutch (yes!!! she’s gonna learn dutch!!!) and translation (interesting!!!! she loves!!!) and prob work on a doctorate proposal??? I’m gonna take interesting classes basically only on human rights and write my master’s thesis on the evolution of abusive requirements for gender recognition, which i’m v excited and motivated for bc i literally just got glowing feedback on my research plan for it
it’s gonna be such an amazing year i CANNOT WAIT
there were obv stressful and meh moments bc Big Decisions with non-negligible consequences which demand difficult conversations, outright communication and delicate compromise (which got my therapist’s stamp of approval for mature communication, trust, and working as us vs the problem), but we mostly did SO MANY AMAZE THINGS, including:
went to see Lana Del Rey in concert and sobbed copiously and gayly. Lilou burst into tears as soon as Lana appeared on the stage, I cried hysterically during Young And Beautiful. It was a fantastic concert, she was lovely on stage, picked great songs, and it was great to see the tiny changes she made to them, both musically and lyrically, in a shift towards Positivity TM
had A Bunch of great afternoon sex with the sun falling in through the windows
went to eat sushi and have a drink with my lovely lovely friends
a hella fun DND picnic in a park with @cal3ris, @degenezijde and @pasiphile
went to the yearly scouting meet-up party (Lilou made muffins)
went to eat asparagus in a fance restaurant with my extended family (that’s twelve ppl :p) for our yearly family restaurant outing
visited ghent in the RADIANT SUN with Lilou’s friend who was here for a conference and every time i visit ghent, esp when the weather is nice, i fall in love with this city all over again. it involved beautiful buildings and sights, nice food, happy people, and history nerdery, which are my fave things tbh
Lilou wore a gorgeous dress that makes me stare at her boobs all night TWICE (rude but also fantastic)
studying together side by side
Lilou went with me to my medical appointments which made them a lot more bearable
bought matching gay tote bags and socks, and matching Ravenclaw/Gryffindor girlfriends slutty HP pyjamas
