#.........i have to submit this for a grade..
Explore tagged Tumblr posts

My fucking C++ professor who handed out a very specific and explicit criteria for the final project, then with no warning or anything changed the grading to be relative after it was submitted.
My group matched the criteria perfectly. I know because I was the one who stayed up late the last day painstakingly checking every single bullet point to make sure we’d get full points.
We got a D+. Why? Because another group was bored and added a “secret bonus game” to their movie theater ticketing program and the prof decided they deserved to have an A that was specifically accented by every single other group getting a worse score.
does everyone have a teacher that they still have beef with/ hold a grudge against today??

sunday | june 8 2/100 dop
i am officially done with the academic portion of the term! i'll take the time to enjoy being done in a few days once i've moved out of the dorm and gotten my final grades, but it's a relief to have hit the submit button on my final assignments.
#the thing on the left is actually my history paper#which i formatted like an 18th century medical treatise because i thought it would be funny#studyblr#studyspo

today i have to go to class and convince my group (of mostly mid-20s men) that we can't talk about sci fi fandom history without talking about kirk/spock erotica.. wish me luck
#actually wish THEM luck#they should consider themselves lucky i'm leaving it at that tbh#i could absolutely be making them think about MORE sci fi men fucking#they didn't know what they were agreeing to when they let me pick the topic#it's gonna be real whiplash going from hg wells to k/s shipping...................#.........i have to submit this for a grade..#oh well i've submitted worse!#or actually similar ig? i wrote a paper in undergrad defending women consuming gay porn/erotica so#and one about vampires as a metaphor for queerness but that's beside the point#i'm returning to my roots i suppose#just rambling

girl help i have been transported back to middle school
artfight attack on @necrotic-nightshade !!
#artfight#scene#scenecore#art#necrotic-nightshade#artfight 2024#team stardust#i meant to shift the little background text things more and make them bigger but i zoned out and Forgor#and i am only realizing this like two hours after submitting it#GENUINELY not sure how i forgot to do that. i am impressed.#i still have my old gir shirts from middle and high school. i dont wear them anymore but i have them.#i think one of them literally says EPIC FAIL on it in Impact Font. its . extremely 2012#this looks like something i would have unironically drawn in 7th grade. i love that scene is popular again#for contrast i drew this while listening to scary stories about people getting killed in Waffle Houses. love u letsread

Me: hey brain, can we think normal things tonight?
Brain: PALEONTOLOGIST!DEAN FINDS AN ANGEL THAT GOT BURIED DURING THE EXTINCTION OF THE DINOSAURS.
Me: *quietly* ...what the fuck
Brain: Dean is working on an excavation in a cave system when he uncovers this. fcking HUMAN BEING WITH *WINGS* AND *TOO MANY EYES*. PRESERVED IN ROCK IN THE SAME STRATA AS THE DINOSAURS. And ofc Dean is really freaked out and scared of this thing, but then he notices that the figure is curled forward over something, and as he looks closer he sees the skeletons of a nest of baby raptors that the "human" figure was holding tight to its chest, like it was trying to shield them from something. And he realizes that this... Thing... died protecting them.
Except the "human" figure isnt a skeleton, its preserved fully in the rock. Or perhaps...
#also submitted for consideration: archeologist!Dean ends up in one of those “they found something they shouldnt have oOoOoOoO” scenarios#and unleashes a fallen angel#but instead of anything horrific and civilization-ending they're gay and in love and having gay sex now#...what.#destiel#deancas#supernatural#spn#???????#sorry someone let grade-school-me out of the subconscious for a sec. i was a Dino Kid#yes ik the extinction wasnt one big event but YOU GET THE VIBES#also funny concept: Cas actually succeeded at protecting the baby dinos and they were preserved along with him#Dean now has a VERY confused and sad biblically-accurate (hot) angel who doesnt know what humans are#AND a clutch of baby velociraptors

not me in my fucking creative writing class going ouggghhhhhh i sure would love to write a study about a character is a Crisis about...... Shen Yuan..,.
#ramblings#lucien goes to school#lets be clear. this would not be the first time i have submitted tranformative works for class assignments#one time in grade 11 mybe my art teacher told me he submitted one of my pieces to a contest#and it was put in a fucking ART GALLERY for high school artists#and i was ACTIVELY DYING because i didnt tell him it was gravity falls fanart#never fully recovered from that one#but more importantly. it really feels like i should just write actual fanfiction at this point#like. for example. the fanfiction about sy i am IN THE MIDDLE OF WRIITNG#like come on lucien

how am i supposed to not use my beloved multi-functional em dash every other sentence ???
#talk me down#i cant stop#she's so beautiful#so freeing#after writing a massive study you have no idea how good this feels#no one is critiquing. no grade. not submitting it to a publisher#maybe this is the thing that gets me to finally write the target solas fic for real

one third of my headache is now gone bc i just got back my grades for an assignment i was sure i did poorly in only to see i was a couple marks off the equivalent of an A (or maybe its the paracetamol i took 30 mins ago a little before we were set to get them back bc i was so stressed...)
#sophie's idle chatter#EITHER WAY#WOOO#now i have to wait for my next two grades to come back next week... monday and friday... haha....#but yea this literature review was my most stressed one in terms of grades#still very much stressed for the next two (mainly the one next monday bc when i realised i couldve worded some of it differently when#i reread i a couple days ago... which was like 2 weeks after i submitted... haha....)#anywho now i can kind of enjoy life again and try to write ;w;;;

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
#on the one hand i can understand like why they'd want us to set goals and stuff#but can we make it NOT FUCKING WORTH PART OF OUR GRADE???#my one goal is to fucking get through uni and get whatever degree i end up with. thats it. i dont even want to be here.#i can't say that though cause that's ''too broad'' or ''not a real goal'#they want shit like ''im bad at attending lectures so im gonna try and be better at that'' I DONT HAVE ISSUES LIKE THAT. I DONT.#i had to do this fucking assignment last year and i was pissed off about it then and im even more pissed off about it now#cause apparently its due on FRIDAY and it was not mentioned ONCE???#NOT EVEN ONE TIME. ITS NOT EVEN WRITTEN ON THE SYLLABUS.#I ONLY FOUND OUT CAUSE THE PLACE WHERE WE SUBMIT THE ASSIGNMENTS ELECTRONICALLY NOTIFIED ME ABOUT IT#last time it took me a week to come up with something conceivable and now i have to do it in less than 48 hours#and they want us to be even MORE specific this time around#like straight up. what is the fucking point. how does this help. why does it impact our GRADE?????

wha!!! hope everyone is safe, including your mutual. Also, good on you for taking a break!! I have missed you but I'm glad you're being healthy and studying<33
actually i didn't tell that mutual story because i forgot to, but i will because it's kind of hilarious. i wont @ them just bc i've been rather loosey goosey with my personal information here and don't want to dox them by proxy (not that i think i would, but anyway! most of this story is actually just my complaining about the field trip but anyway. hang in there.
so! i have to take this one first year course because i only just picked my minor. people playing along at home will know im a second year who already has a degree, so this first year course is kind of killing me because its just the same content i've been taught before. nothing wrong with the course itself, im just not the target audience here.
there was a compulsory field trip which no one was enthused about, especially given it was 125 dollars and our course coordinator was kind of bitchy about it like "just don't buy bubble tea for a month and you'll be able to afford it" which. still mad about but not relevant here. we arrive and its pissing down rain. like, we are swimming in it. this rain continues the whole time.
and then as we eat lunch, the power cuts out. this is an over night trip. the power does not come back on until the next day at about noon, so we all have to hang out in the dark and take freezing cold showers - the showers were also full of weird bugs and smelt terrible. we are also in a 10 people per room situation on terrible terrible beds, and they make us wake up at 6am which is extra lame.
ANYWAY, through out all of this, we had 2 major activities, done in groups of about 8 with one tutor to each group. our tutor is basically group adult (this is a first year course and most of the people in it are like 18) and the person who knows what is going on. my tutor, who i get randomly assigned, is a delight. very funny, nice to work with, explains things enough to make sense but not enough that i get impatient, 10/10 great at their job. as a group, we all chat to eachother and the tutor.
i, as a person who has default scripts for small talk(ish) talk i run through, only have so many fun anecdotes i can tell about my life. it turns out that this is a problem.
at the end of the trip, we are sat in a room waiting for the bus, just vibing. not relevant to the story but like 3 people stacked it falling down the hill just getting to the room bc of how steep and muddy it was, i felt terrible for them, but it was also kind of funny. my tutor turns to me.
"so. do you like, have a tumblr? because i think you do."
i turn, torn between called out and impressed at the accuracy of this burn. "yeah i do - why?"
"i. think we're mutals." i blink. i do not know how to process this. they lean over.
"hey-hamlet, right?"
my soul leaves my body, then i have a moment where i am violently grateful the stuff i post here isn't *that* weird. like its weird. but. it could be so much worse.
#a little bit confused about the total lack of accessibility options for both the camp itself and the activities we were *graded* on#but#im unaware if anyone needed to request it so idk if it was a problem#also. 4 people got leeches on their eyeballs. so. hm.#asks#study talk#shout out to u tutor ur a delight i think i mentioned u on my secats (complementary)#i have no idea if it submitted bc the site did something very strange#that was a long post! apparently i had a lot to say. i should get out more during swotvac.

unfortunately i have the kind of autism that makes people have to explain things to me/i have to bounce my ideas around with people who know things before thoughts become anything for me
#when i did cape literature it was the first time i had actually read shakespeare in its like. original english dialect#and i would read the play on my own at home‚ not understand anything much less connect themes or anything#then go to school and sit in class while we read it and it would feel like i was reading it for the first time#much of my existing is masking like. pretending i know things i think i'm fr stupid at heart#<- i got away with a lot of this at school like i never spoke in patois i never wore braids my parents were still super helicopter-y#so i was generally unaware of like. school gossip or jamaican pop culture because at first i didn't have a phone and then later on#i straight up stopped caring about pretending to care about that stuff#i was pretty quiet but at the same time i had a lot of friends but didn't have a friend group etc etc#i Appeared like the perfect student so i got away w cheating on tests or not knowing stuff etc etc#especially towards the end of highschool when my depression got really bad and my overall average was in the 60s#very often i would submit assignments and tests thinking i got my point across perfectly or answered questions right according#to what i studied then id get the grades and commentary back and i fucking failed or something#so now whenever my profs or people in fandom r like you're so smart or you articulate your works very well i'm like What the fuck thank you#and it imprints in my brain forever because this is new to me#jamaican academia and jamaica in general is like so much about following roles than it is being a person#and when you're neglected and outcast and autistic it becomes impossible to be jamaican at all#and now people both here (jamaica) and in ghe us ask me shit like “wait you were born and puved in jamaica your whole life??”#it's. anyway#this post was originally about how i'm actually kind of stupid#*

Didn't add a generative AI statement to my syllabus because I thought "none of my assignments play to those tools' strengths, using AI wouldn't work and would be really obvious" but lo and behold the students are using it anyway. It's not working and it's really obvious.
#writing feedback to a student like hey. you submitted a list of citations published in the future. how did that happen#like guys. you are PAYING for this class. all I want is to help you practice the skills#I would not even assign grades if I didn't have to#posting an announcement going I'm not going to punish you for these tools bc I didn't forbid it#but I WILL take points off if you keep submitting sources that don't exist#at least check your work
