>I had never heard of cumlaude before. Does that mean passing with honors?
Yes, it's a prestigious title that shows you're competent and honorable in your study. There's 3 level of that which are cumlaude, magna cumlaude, and summa cumlaude. Summa cumlaude is basically almost impossible for me since it requires 3.91 GPA at least, so right now I'm working for magna.

>Are there opportunities for campus placements in your college?
Do you mean campus exchange? Well yes in 5th or 6th semester you have the opportunity to study abroad and gain double degree (optional) in other campus that has collaborated with my campus. Although I will be choosing internship to gain real work experience instead.

>I had problems with my studies and distractions. Chemistry was a very tough subject
I almost don't have any science related subjects at high school since I took the social branch (in my country it's called IPS while science branch is IPA). However at secondary school I do hate subjects like biology, physics, etc. I mean biology not really since I still remember some stuffs I've learn and sometimes there can be fun learning types of animal or organs in our body however physics is just a total lost for me. Literally don't remember a single thing from it, and my grade for it most of the time was bad anyway. Good thing I don't have to deal with it anymore.

>Have your favorites changed form before?
Not really I guess. Just not often to think about anime anymore.

I agree that FMA 2003 felt more darker thanks to it's comedy timing, colouring, and soundtracks. I'll give credit to 2003 for being written way before FMAB (manga) even reaches it half however in my opinion 2003 is still far more superior. Although conceptually is interesting as it attempt a deconstruction of it's system and had an Evangelion-typish message to the viewers, I still think FMAB themes such as value of life, human's nature and relationships, etc to be superior. Shown as how 2003 removes The Truth that took away "Man vs God" personal reflection. Not only that but 2003 doesn't have the poetic writing of FMAB (7 deadly sins of Father, gate of truth, detailed dynamic even to characters like Hohenheim and Wrath which never interact with each others). I don't like the isekai concept of 2003, could have used other ideas to present "entrophy" instead of this since it felt forced.

>And are you watching any good anime these days?
Hmmmm only Bungo Stray Dogs season 5 I guess.

>sorry for the late reply
No worries.
