Help Me Pay for Summer Tuition

Boozhoo! Aaniin! (Hello) I am an Indigenous Student studying my traditional language in an M.A. program. I hope to create free resources guided toward self-learning for many communities and individuals to use.

Despite taking no classes in the summer, my institution requires M.A. students to pay summer tuition, which is a whooping 3k! This was quite a surprise to me. I do have student-loans, but their funding does not cover summer tuition. I also have a job, but on top of rent and expenses, it's hard to make enough. I am posting here to ask for help. Any donation helps, no matter how small, will greatly help me. I know I am literally one of tens of thousands of students who ask for charity, and my cause is no more important than theirs. I just hope that there are some people out there who have a little extra to spare, and who resonate with my struggle.

Gchi Miigwech! (Many thanks).

16/10/2023 | Day 2 of 100 days of productivity

Today I got a paper back and despite the good grade, I’m really bummed out because I expected a little more. Regardless, I finished an essay I had due tomorrow, read a little of my current read, and meal prepped for the rest of the week! It was a really decent day 🩷

My first semester of grad school is in the books.

Over the last 3.5 months I’ve written 70 pages, read 16 books, not including the hundreds of poems (or personal reading), and countless articles/essays.

This was tough as hell. Probably the hardest thing I’ve done (academically, at least) but just a few months into the program I can already see that I’m a better reader, a better writer, and more insightful critic.

I will absolutely not be taking a full load from here on—it’s all fun and games until you have three 15 pages papers dude within 4 days of each other—but I’m super coming into my own here.

10/10, would grad school again.

trying to finish my last 2 sim charts of my module and they are literally hell

[jems-history]

It has been a hot minute since I've been on this blog and a lot has happened.

First off, I have graduated from my undergraduate degree in history with a first. Something I never in a million years thought I'd be able to manage.

After a summer of working hard at a seasonal attraction to build up some cash, I'm now preparing to start a masters course in museum studies and do want to get back to this account to get myself back into studying after a summer of doing anything but.

Here's to hoping that my masters is another step closer to working in a museum one day!

Little reintroduction to my account!! ✨️

I've revamped my name and bio, and I'm planning on using this account again more to help me stay motivated with my MA!

I'm Emma, I'm 21 and I'm from the north west of England. I graduated in July with a first in my undergraduate degree in English Lit and Language and in September I'll be starting my masters degree in 19th Century Studies (aka literature with a bit of history chucked in for good measure!)

I have a bookstagram/studygram of the same name, if anyone who sees this fancies a follow! I'm a Jane Austen obsessed nerd, and I can't wait to study the 19th century in loads more detail. I'm halfway through A Tale of Two Cities for my preliminary uni reading, and I'm aiming to reread Mansfield Park again soon for one of my modules also. I basically lived in the library last year, but I'm living back home this year so it'll be a bit of a change.

I'm aiming to post notes, books and everything else study and uni related on here, and I'd love to be able to chat to some other postgrad/grad students - especially as my goal is to do a PhD and end up in academia in the future. I'm also interested in working in heritage if PhD plans go awry but we shall see what the future brings!

Little bit about me:

When I'm not studying I love reading for fun (especially historical fiction, romance or fantasy/sci-fi!)

I also love playing games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing! Also just onto season 3 of Stranger Things and I love it!

I'm a big fan of pasta and cheesy chips, and I'm partial to some Toblerone chocolate as well 😂

One day I'd love to live in Bath, and I'd also love to run my own bookshop one day too! I've visited Bath before for the Austen festival (yes I went in period costume, I'm *that* type of girl 😂) and it's absolutely gorgeous!!

MA goals:

I'd love to achieve at least 65% in my masters, as that's what the majority of the PhD courses I've looked at seem to want! Anything more would be a big bonus hehe.

I'd like to apply for the Graduate Teaching Assistant role at my uni which is a funded PhD with teaching opportunities. Need to figure out a PhD idea first lol.

I'd like to visit Chawton House in Hampshire to do some Austen/19thC period research for my MA dissertation and I'm hoping to apply to my university's fund for that opportunity.

Live the romantic academia dream and go visit some cool old libraries close to where I live to *spice* my view up 😂

Anyway, enough about me! Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments, and especially if you're a grad student plz let me know some tips! Would be much appreciated <3

(If I remember I'll be posting under the tag 'em says stuff' so I can find my own posts easier if I want to look back 😂)

Actually the worst thing to come out of the new pjo series is people deciding Annabeth's dad was 19-22 when he was given her by Athena (and therefore "just a kid at the time" so it's not his fault, he was in debt and couldn't afford it) He was in the middle of/nearly finished with his PhD, the Chase family was rich and he was probably a legacy (college not demigod wise) so no, he was just a shit dad. And she was also like 7 when she ran away and he was already married to her stepmom who was half the problem. Characters can be 30+ actually it's okay I promise

happy start of the new academic year (x)

After the stress of writing my first draft, somehow the editing still feels a bit daunting. I still have a few unfinished sentences I need to figure out as well as my conclusion… but even if it feels different, the worst is really over 🌸

[firespirited]

I've found my Lagoona, my definitive Lagoona! Lagoonafire and freshwater/13 wishes have clicked with me from the start.

but actual Lagoona Blue? I've had dozens in hand and almost kept Picture day or Black carpet. I thought it might be signature Lagoona, I liked her the best.

I've been looking at exchange student Lagoona's for a while but many had eyes too low or too high, worse wonk than this one.

The moment she was in hand I knew she was a keeper. And once I got sig out, I think it's the more forward facing eyes and different shape: less fishy, bigger eye shines: she's actually making eye contact with both at once LOL.

The icing on the cake is that she's made in Indonesia and won't require glue treatment.

Better photos on my camera, to be edited later, maybe tomorrow.

I'm starting to feel a bit better from the flu but don't look like it. Huge purple eyewells and swollen eye bags. I've been checking the oxymetre, that's fine so it's probably blood pressure and general exhaustion *greek chorus yells well duh, what an understatement *

[ronastudies]

scrolling down my dash just now... I’m reading “phd” here and “research assistant” and “postdoc” there or “masters” or “postgrad” and whatnot. Look at how far we made it, fellow studyblrs! Our little high school hearts with their little planners and highlighters would be so happy. :)))

gonna give Shaera a third husband whose even older with even more kids just to piss some of y’all off cause why are we hating on the girl who has lost two siblings (one of which she blames on herself!), has been betrayed by the one person she wanted, and her mother has been usurped?

she’s a teenager, let her make mistakes! let her do what she thinks is best! there’s a reason she was betrothed to qoren, not aemond, and let’s not forget that it’s not qoren “getting in the way” of shaemond…

it’s aemond AND THATS THE DELICIOUS TRAGEDY OF IT ALL
