Thirty-something and tired. The partying Skeleton says "Enjoy, have fun, cheer up". Words to live by.
Paper two finished! Thank the gods! Now all that is left is to make an About page, page explaining the technology I used, and some images for my website.

Paper one done and submitted! And with 13 minutes left from my desired submission time. Okay, Knowledge Organization paper next, and then work on as much of my website as I can!

I've stapled myself to my desk, it's time to bang out the last of my work by 11:59. Wish me luck.

I completely forgot the strat of working on a different project when you're stuck on another, so I just wasted like a whole day of staring at a messy document unable to make myself type instead of just working on my website or the paper that is 80% finished.

Dude, I just can't right now with school work. I think I'm so overwhelmed that my brain is rejecting everything. Unfortunately it is finals week so my brain needs to suck it up.

I feel like I shouldn't be surprised when my bullshitting is actually good but I always am. Like, I put less effort into a presentation than I rightfully should have, but things I just kind of flung in to fill space were commented on positively. I hadn't even consciously added it for effect,

VISIT YOUR LIBRARY

WE'VE GOT DVDS

WE'VE GOT CDS

WE'VE GOT BOOKS ON CD

WE'VE GOT THAT TONIES THING FOR YOUR KID

YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS AT WORK
“As prices for streaming subscriptions continue to soar and finding movies to watch, new and old, is becoming harder as the number of streaming services continues to grow, people are turning to the unexpected last stronghold of physical media: the public library.”
The Last Video Rental Store Is Your Public Library
Audio-visual librarians are quietly amassing large physical media collections amid the IP disputes threatening select availability.

I never stopped masking and in all these years I've had a total of one person ask me about it. Take your health and the health of vulnerable people seriously. The annoyance of a mask on your face for a few hours is way better than the down time and recovery from a respiratory infection.
Reminder: you should absolutely start wearing the best mask you can find in public spaces, even if you stopped before. We have no public health at the top level & repeat infections have ravaged immune systems.

If someone gives you a hassle, say "even if it's just a cold, I DON'T WANT THAT EITHER!"

Goodness gracious! I was on welcome desk today and some lady was getting really rude to me and raising her voice. She was looking for someone who either didn't work here or has no extension number.

Meeting happened AND it was a person with knowledge of the subject! Luckily he didn't have to run off after 30 minutes when my meeting was scheduled to end. I should have a second meeting booked with the same tutor next week, but I'm double checking to secure my spot.
December 3, 2025 at 7:58 PM
Man, I wish the writing center tutors showed up to remote meetings even a little on time. Dude's 15 minutes late at this point.
December 3, 2025 at 6:14 PM
I fumbled my presentation last night so bad! I am awful at them and I just rambled, awkwardly worded things, and dropped an entire talking point that was literally written in front of my face. Ultimately it doesn't matter because the grade was either a 0 if you presented something or a 5 if you did.

Adulthood is when you're devastated that the beautiful carafe that was incredibly on sale is sold out when you open the item's page.

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

For like the zillionth time: Libraries are FREE for you, but WE still get compensated for our work!!
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

I had a classmate pull a kind of rude move on me the other day and legitimately my first thought was "That's not very Chuck Tingle of her." In my mind, supporting your fellow student is Chuck Tingle behavior and I've apparently internalized that enough that it's my immediate thought.

Since we're in flu season you've all probably gotten reminders about updating your vaccines, let me just throw in there that if you are an adult, you could do with getting a blood test to see if you are still covered for the things you got vaccinated for as a kid.

Which is why, when you want to read a book without paying for it, you should 100% go to the library instead of pirating it. You are supporting the authors that way and fun fact, libraries will and do buy multiple copies of a book if it is being borrowed often, giving more support to the author.
Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”

the library bought it.

which in turn means that the community bought it.

In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

My least favorite type of cold is the evolving type. One day it's sore throat, sneezing an runny nose the next, nausea the next. Just let me suffer in one way! (I'm fine, I'm on the upswing and just whining.)

What I signed up for: Intermediate ASL classes
What I got: Chatting for an 1.5 hours in English and learning 4 new signs.

I'm really happy my school offers remote tutoring, but I just saw a picture of the writing center and it's a weird mishmash of decorations and like 9 fish tanks??? Now I'm kind of sad it's on the other campus, I'll never see that beautiful mess in person.
