nobody tears through library books quite as fast as a 12 yr old girl with no friends

So when my mom was going back to school for her masters, I was a little kid and got enrolled in the on-campus pre-school where they give people going into child care professions some hands on experience while also offering a free place to drop off your kid when going to class.

Anyway I found the portfolio they made of me back then and honestly this one entry almost made me cry when I got to the end.

I have some thoughts before tomorrows episode that I've been pondering for a while.

Seunghyo is being a dick, we all know this. He needs to get a grip and stop lashing out when Seokryu did nothing wrong.

But... I kinda get him?

He's embarrassed as hell. Like, the girl you've been pining over your whole life, who you though you'd gotten over but is now back along with those feelings, suddenly finds out you liked her. And you didn't laugh it off immediately, like "oh yeah can you believe I used to like you in highschool? gross". You got defensive and overreacted, ripping apart a letter you wrote 15 years ago. And she's not laughing about it, she's not looking hopeful, she looks stunned because she was not expecting that at all from her best friend. It IS embarrassing. His feelings are out in the open when he's not even come to terms with them himself. And on top of that your ex turns up and the girl you like is trying to get you back together, it's like rubbing salt in the wound. "I don't think of you as a romantic prospect, get back with you ex!" He's absolutely wrong for how he's going about it, and I'm sure with the ex fiance turning up and everyone finding out she got cheated on Seunghyo will get it together.

On an unrelated note, I hope we don't get a confession this week. Or the next one even. Seokryu is just now maybe feeling jealous, and she probably couldn't tell you that, so a confession now would feel rushed and would probably screw things up between them. She needs to wrap up whatever's going on with her ex, fall for Seunghyo on her own accord, and then pine a little, just to be even lol

The only way I can get behind them dating now is if they start fake dating to fend off the ex, just because I love that trope and the yearning, the pining, the mutual feeling of "this is fake but I'm the only one who wants more" etc etc that comes along with it.

My mom and dad didn't come to my meet, but as I looked at the girl who skipped her exam for me, I realized. After meeting Bae Seok-ryu, there was never a moment when I didn't like her. But I don't have the courage to tell her because I don't want to ruin our friendship. So instead of now, I'll do it when I'm in my twenties. After we become adults, I hope I'll be able to tell Seok-ryu how I feel then.

When kids are trying to explain a problem they are having to you, you need to ask questions. Kids often don't have the words that they need to explain what is going on. So, they substitute in words that they do know that are as close as possible. If you take what they say at face value, you can sometimes entirely miss the actual problem.

A recent example is a kid, ten years old, I know who kept saying that their problem is that they "get bored" when reading. I've been helping by recommending books and other material relevant to their interests to their parents, but it didn't seem to work. So, I came over, sat down with the kid, and asked them to read as much of a short story as they could before they got bored.

They could read about sixty or so words before they were unable to focus on the text any longer.

According to them, this has been a problem since they were seven. But because "boredom" was the only word they had for it, they received attempts to get them more engaging texts. That's a great strategy for most book-shy kids, but not when it's looking far more like an undiagnosed disability. This kid has amazingly supportive parents who are now looking to get them more expertly evaluated, but because they didn't have the language to explain how bad the problem was, it flew under the radar for three years.

Ask kids clarifying questions when they're having trouble, especially when the problem you think they are telling you about isn't being solved by solutions that would normally work. You might figure out why those solutions aren't working.

I've long thought we needed our klaroline version of "The Kiss".

Inspired by that impromptu kiss from 4x07 that the cruel showrunners cut out.

my partner doesn’t use pet names nearly as much as i do, which is very funny because i will crack my gay little knuckles and say some shit like “good morning my sun and moon, my loveliest boy, my baby my sweetheart my darling dearest” and he will reply “hello adrian”
