w's for the day:

Facen't

.... by which i mean i got the radiator assembly off of the mini on my own. got a couple other things off as well, and i've been keeping everything labelled and recording how things go together. recording and labelling is probably making it all take half again as long, but fuck me if it wont be good to have later.

my cousin helped me find + assemble the engine hoist and stand, which are both fuck off heavy as hell and were tucked in the back corner of one of the garage bays bc of course. it's so strange that he's 15 now.

my syllabus for enviro chem got posted !

annnd finally we found a fill for all of my raid days that i'll miss yippee

[lunar-wandering]

i see the words "SMART Goals Learning Plan Assignment 1". my eyes glaze over as i try to conceive of a possible issue i could pretend i have so i don't gotta talk about the autistic issues i'm already handling and definitely do not want to tell my teacher about

[nancywheeeler]

how to phrase "you missed seven classes which is 25% of the course and that's why you didn't get an A in the class even though your written work was good" in a way that won't come back to bite me in the ass

[girderednerve]

it's probably really annoying being a college professor because your job sounds really fun but actually it is very politically freighted & is in fact a job with all of the bullshit that entails. but it sounds so fun! i started thinking about how cool it would be to design a class about popular romance....

I feel like we need to have a collective syllabus for people who are overly obsessed with the Aubreyad. Like we're all here because we either have a random hyperfixation with something in those books or because we're down to gain a random hyperfixation with something in those books and I think it's about time we started doing something with that

[ethereal-writes]

It's my first day of class and I think there's a decent chance this whole econ class is here on the wrong day 💀either that or the professor is 20 mins late

I have very clear memories of my High School English IV teacher going on long tangents about how hard college is and how none of us were prepared for it. She told us that we would have to write multiple reports on different topics per week and that we would have to read multiple full books every week. She told us that what she assigned us for our High School class was nothing compared to the insane workload of college. It's important to note that, at one point, my grade in this class was like 29%.

Then I went to the same college that she had gone to. Even in my freshman year, when I took more classes than I honestly needed to per semester, my workload across all classes together was probably equivalent to that single high school English class.

College classes tend to be spaced out (Monday-Wednesday-Friday, or Tuesday-Thursday, for example), and you generally only have like 3 a day unless you purposely overload your schedule. So I only had like 3 hours of classes each day, and I had the entire rest of my day for work, or for studying for the next day's classes, or to just hang out and do whatever. I actually had the highest grade in my freshman year English class in college. Everything was so unbelievably easy, especially compared with the English and Math classes I took in my senior year of High School. I double majored and graduated with like a 3.5 GPA. Only like 3 classes genuinely stressed me out.

Anyway, none of this matters, but what I'm getting at is this: if you're a teen and you have a teacher or other adult in your life that's really trying to drive home that you can't handle college, maybe take that with a grain of salt. I don't know if she was confusing her Master's level workload with the Bachelor's curriculum or what, but college really isn't as difficult as some teachers like to tell teens it will be.

After finishing my essay, my summer courses will be over !!!

i need energy directly injected into my brain

It's getting more and more certain that I'm gonna get straight As this semester. For the very first time in my college career. My persuasion class is entirely graded, & I got a 95.88% in it. My data governance class still has the final paper to grade, but we got a 97.33% on the presentation, so the paper probably won't be much lower than that, & my current running grade in that class is a 96.53%, so. We'd have to do Pretty Badly to get that below a 90%, so it's almost a guaranteed A. Then there's my gender communication class, which doesn't have a listing on the homework website (bc my professor in that class is real old-school) BUT I got full points on my final essay exam too, which means the Only thing in that class I got points taken off for was my presentation, which Even Then I still got a pretty good grade. So that one's almost certain to be an A as well.

Which leaves UX design class, which is still missing a grade for the project we turned in back at the start of November 😭😭😭😭😭 but they say they're grading them this week so. Sure, I guess. (Still don't know why they graded the more recent project before that one but Oh Well). Anyways, we've been getting really good grades on all our projects, bc it's a level 100 course and their grading criteria is really easy 😂😂😂. So really good grades on all the projects. Not as good grades on the class participation stuff bc I kept forgetting to do my reflections and the readings, but that's not very many points overall. So unless we do badly on the project that has yet to be graded (unlikely), I'm Proooobably going to get an A in this class too. At worst, a B. But I'm hoping for an A.

It'd just be really cool to have straight As for the first time in college. And then maybe, just maybe, I'll do it all over again next semester too >:]

All I really had the energy to do today was work on gesture drawing. I WAS going to read some Inferno, but I just couldn't focus on the words today. Also, I may or may not be slipping into my winter depression already (hopefully not, though)

Drew 9 poses, filled 2 pages

Learned that I need to either draw more men or draw less women

Went school shopping with my mom and 5y/o brother

I got transparent sticky notes!! and they're literally so cool

Transferred all my notes on Inferno into LibreOffice

I didn't do a lot but I still did something, and that's still pretty good :D

[non-un-topo]

Need book/movie/article recommendations that center on transmasculinity

Ok I should be able to answer this request by myself as a gender studies major (and because I have when friends have asked) but I am limited to what I've already seen/read/heard of, and I'm running out of time to research. I'm designing a syllabus, thinking of making it a comparative literature course. So I'm looking for life writing, fiction, movies or tv, an academic writing. I might include some theory. BIPOC and international authors are much encouraged!

[rpfisfine]

dude i have to relax i will NOT be able to handle 18 classes this semester
