linguistics has grown so much as a field in the past 20 or so years, you'd think we could do better than fucking treeform

“Oh, you and [so-and-so] will get along so well, you’re both academics who study [niche specialty]”

Yeah, or we’ll be ready to fight each other on sight because we have opposite opinions on [recently proposed theory that has simultaneously huge implications and/or zero tangible effects on the future of the field]

How I'm feeling on day 6 of this work travel trip

[tiredbutlit]

[12/100]

Took the day off work today for a concert in a different state. So I made it through two modules for REG since I had the time. Finished my language study apps before the show. And did a little reading for pleasure :^)

Chaotic academia is: getting all dressed up in your concert fit and then sitting down to study before the show

Shorthand Key

a5 - Putting your best foot forward a3 - Steady travels b3 - False hope c6 - The numb, knee-buckling realization that this will not work for you long term, hitting you like an explosion hits an unprotected ear born and raised in conflict-free suburbia. (Regardless of whether or not the player is using the black or white chess pieces, all they can see is blinding light. The other player is not obligated to wait for the player’s vision to recover to allow them to take their next turn) d6 - The exhaustion slowly spilling out to every corner of the board. (re: a1) e5 - The swish of the adrenaline rush in your blood that comes from pulling an all-nighter for a midterm, only to complete 40% of it in between the last two hours before class,  frantic pacing that melts into stimming hard enough to hurt your wrists, wailing that cuts into hyperventilation that cuts into wailing that cuts into coughing that melds into the low, gravely whine that your smoker aunt makes when you shake her away for breakfast. As evidenced by the nonsensical description surrounding it, players disregard any piece standing on d6. h5 - The new approach that’s totally gonna work, Dad, don’t worry about it, I promise. h3 - If a pawn is standing on top of it, the disappointment of your new clever, emotionally invested in approach doing absolutely nothing to lighten the load or prepare you for virtually anything. If any other chess piece is standing on it, the ineffable horror of the further setback. g4 - The player stalls for time, either with academic sacrifices, overcompensation, or that goddamn work ethic of theirs that everyone is obsessed with, you know, the one that hasn’t worked for them in 3 and a half years? Lies, appeals to emotion, or half-brained excuses are also viable moves, though they are discouraged by all involved parties besides the two players. (Note: The other player can waste this time by adding extra pressure, work, or burnout, or crushing them with the reminder of a forgotten assignment or the fact that they’ve only spoken to a friend outside of an academic setting 14-15 times this entire semester, in order to advance across the board and remove their chess piece from the board) f4 - Prolonging the inevitable e6 - Prolonging the inevitable, but more outwardly pathetic. d7 - The glaring, dumb mistake on your handling of your finals you knew you were going to make since the second week of the semester. Check - Pass your classes. Maybe. Probably. You don’t really know, and you’re a little too afraid to find out, but you’re going to have to anyway, at some damming point. Checkmate - Death, in the academic and literary sense. The losing player must reset them both, but the student will instead. In this inevitable case, scold them for their inability to follow the rules to ensure the chance of future gameplay.

just found out my prof has been using chatgpt to write our assignments what’s the point of a masters degree honestly

[luffythinker]

I have an important exam on the 20th but im also making my master's project oh lord please let me handle everything properly 🥴

AH! relived! I am done with all of my business leveling classes! (although I had minored in undergrad) and almost done with my focus classes for international business, just have international banking and project management left.

next year will be all the core mba classes and by fall i will be done.

(is it bad that i'm looking if i should get duel mba in finance? ugh)

not going to lie, the final for my international logistics class was trash for me. idk what to say, just garbage fire. but, the whole class ended up being 78.02... which is a damn C. but i guess the professor had mercy on me because he changed the grade to a B.

[abyssalsquiid]

this alone would be enough to exclude me from graduation

[yourgirlinpieces]

to be seen and not looked at

I keep thinking that I should post my school stuff on my blog that I made specifically for my area of study but it's such a nicely curated blog and I want the freedom to call blorbo from my thesis a dumb mental thot.

[catillac42]

Oh, you want to know about the extremely niche event that I am literally the world's leading expert on? Buckle up, buttercup.

I know Tumblr is the best place to get information on how to pirate something, so-

Is there any way I can get Statista diagrams without paying half of my scholarship for the statistics I need?
