Joe: Are you there, creature?
Vitor: Ha ha yes
Joe: How was your week
Vitor: Not too good
Joe: Feel free to elaborate
Vitor: Ha ha ha. Uni sucks, I've had 3 exams this week and one didn't really go as good as I wanted. Plus Bolsonaro has won
Joe: Yeah, I've read about that. I'm really sorry :( You just have to move back to Europe asap
Vitor: Or to Canada
Joe: I refuse to mention this country by name in the hope that you'll forget about it
Vitor: Ha ha ha 
Joe: So how are you in the end?
Vitor: Feeling like shit to be fair
Joe: Mmm sorry to hear that. I don't really have anything positive to say about the way people have been voting lately
Vitor: Ah I forgot to tell you my grades from when I was in France were finally recognised by my uni
Joe: And?
Vitor: Some grades are good enough for me not to have to repeat the subjects here. So perhaps I'll be able to finish in one year
Joe: Yay this sounds like a good first step to forget about Canada and move back to Europe
Vitor: Ha ha ha stop it
Joe: I'm not joking lol Well, I'm delighted it all went well for you
Vitor: And how have you been?
Joe: All fine, the usual stuff. I've spent the week trying to finish a chapter of my dissertation, have managed to extend it 30 pages further, but I see no conclusions on the horizon
Vitor: Oops, that's unfortunate
Joe: lol Yes, you can put it that way. This whole writing business is fun but it's quite true I have to finish at some point
Vitor: True dat
Joe: Well, I won't bother you any further. It was nice to talk, as it always is
Vitor: You're too kind
Joe: And once again, so sorry to hear about the Bolsonaro thing. So take care of yourself
Vitor: Of course, I always do
Joe: Cool. I'll talk to you sooooon
Vitor: Can't wait
Vitor had 3 exams this week, one didn't go well. His grades from France were recognized by his university and some of them are good enough that he won't have to repeat the subjects, so he may be able to finish in one year. Joe has spent the week working on his dissertation, he has written 30 pages.
