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

there are valid reasons to have an antagonistic relationship to academic scholarship, but those reasons are overwhelmingly not raised in graduate classrooms, where students instead bitch about theory in general, jargon in general, making them sound ultimately like conservatives, who view any attempt to systematically account for social phenomena as a form of useless intellectual degeneracy

It is done!!! ☑️🎓 My thesis of veterinary medicine is finished, after taking a year in between my bachelor's and master's degree, so I could spend more time on it and also get my honours certificate! It was so much work, I was so so so nervous to present, but everything went great and our entire group got awarded their diploma's. So proud!! 🥹🥳

catch me working smarter not harder, sucker
Jokes on you, I learned 80% of the linguistics I know from reading grammars/random papers for the purpose of conlanging.

I just wanted to say, I started grad school at SCAD at the beginning of the month and part of what inspired me to do so was following you years ago when I was in high school
Oh gosh man, good luck!!! I had some good times there… Genuinely hope it will be more worthwhile to you than my degree in Batman, as they call it 😭

Working on my degree proposal and for all I am hard on myself for my (slightly higher than average, but still fairly average) GPA, mostly because I worry about it hurting my chances at grad school, I feel like it still says something that I actually do have straight As in my history of science classes in particular. If nothing else, I'm more than a little proud of myself for that

how do you write a grad school statement of purpose talking about a professor you really admire and love the work of, who's research genuinely represents EXACTLY the kind of work you want to do not just in grad school but forever and ever and ever since you were in 7th grade, without sounding like a crazed fangirl?
asking for a friend.

Quick updates
• got an internship set up! Which means I’ll be graduating August 2024 for sure. This is like a whole six months sooner than I thought btw.
• ‘Boutsta be in the final two weeks of class so I’m gonna be slammed
• got new ADHD meds that are working so, so well! It’s made me so much more productive and has been working great with my others meds so far
• as part of The Great CC Purge of 2024, I had to go back and re-edit townies and NPCs and even had to touch up the Orsons, their home, and some of their friends in CAS. This is taking a little bit, hence all the Harris Save posts
• Fun fact: all of the Harris Save posts y’all have been seeing are from March - June 2023, and so far I’ve posted a little under half of what I have
• I think I mentioned this before, but when I get back to posting the Orsons there’s going to be a bit of a time jump (like a yearish). There’s going to be a lot of changes so there will be a sort of “what happened since last we checked in” post. I’ll announce when I have a date in
• Since I’m being slammed with essays and stuff I haven’t been active beyond setting up my queue. I have two weeks in between this semester ending and the summer semester starting which I plan on not playing any Sims at all and just spring cleaning, hanging out with friends and family, and doing some creative stuff
That’s all! Bye love you!
