two days into this GA position and I already feel like I’ve found my people 

[the-bagelbitch]

depressing housing and trans rights research for several hours after some more hours of decently dead doordashing. don’t want to go back to stupid fucking class Monday. feeling a certain kind of way I guess. It was pretty chill (the dead doordashing) but I am significantly more nervous about the future and just not looking forward to putting on the Twice The Amount Of Classes Sane Graduates Take yoke again. only one and a half months more. but the fucking papers seem like they’re gonna be brutal. And then there’s grading, y’all… fuck.

Jonathan Wesley Brush, a man of faith, love, and laughter, was born on August 17, 1952, in Columbus, GA. He was called home by the Lord on June 26, 2023, in Six Mile, SC. Jonathan's life was a testament to his unwavering faith and his deep love for his family, friends, and community.

Jonathan was a beacon of light in the lives of his beloved wife, Kim Cravens Brush, his cherished children, Amy, Stephanie, Ashley, Kolbey, and Hayes, his adored siblings, Norman, Rhonda, Gordon, Elizabeth, Phyliss, Benjamin, and Melissa, and his treasured grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His parents, Norman and Nell Brush, predeceased him, and we take comfort knowing that they have welcomed him into the heavenly kingdom.

Jonathan's pursuit of knowledge led him to Hobe Sound Bible College, where he earned a BA degree in Bible in 1975. His passion for education didn't stop there. He went on to obtain master's degrees in education and education Administration from Bob Jones University in 1982 and 1983. His dedication to learning and his faith was a guiding light throughout his life.

After a few years in education, Jonathan returned to his construction roots and obtained his general contractor's license. He owned his own contracting businesses, Carne and Brush Builders and Brush Builders, and started up the concrete division for McGee Brothers in Greer. His work was not just a job but a testament to his character – sturdy, reliable, and built to last.

Jonathan was a man who loved the simple pleasures in life. He found peace and joy in the beauty of nature, whether it was watching the sunrise over the ocean with a cup of coffee in hand or enjoying a sunset boat ride on Lake Keowee with his family. His new home on the lake was a testament to his love for the water and the tranquility it brought him.

People were naturally drawn to Jonathan. His quick wit and sarcasm were legendary, and he always had a way of making everyone feel welcome and loved. As the old saying goes, "A Day without laughter is a day wasted," and Jonathan made sure no day was wasted. Music was another of Jonathan's passions. He was an excellent trombonist and a member of the BJU Trombone Choir during his college years. He continued to play in the church orchestra in recent years, and his beautiful voice was often heard singing the old hymns and Gaither standards. His music was a gift he shared freely, touching the hearts of all who heard him.

In the words of the great theologian, John Wesley, "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can."

Jonathan Wesley Brush was a man of faith, filled with love, and always ready with a laugh. He was a pillar of his community, a devoted family man, and a steadfast friend.

His legacy will live on in the hearts and memories of all who knew him. As we say our earthly goodbyes, we take comfort in knowing that he is now singing with the angels, his voice joining the heavenly choir. His life was a song of faith, love, and laughter, and that melody will echo in our hearts forever.

My professor had me conduct the second quarter of the women’s basketball game today!

I’d conducted an entire volleyball game with our assistant director last semester but he’d never seen me do it. It was much more nerve racking doing it in front of him tho 😅 Anna (assistant director) is a good friend so it was much more chill

The same professor also asked me to help him teach a few things during his M/W 8am class. I’m so excited

The Version 4.3 "Roses and Muskets" Preview page is here!

>> View Event Details <<

As the curtain rises on the Fontinalia Film Festival, it seems that everyone's where they should be — the director, the producer, the art director, and of course, the actors themselves...

Now, all that's left is to time it so the muskets fire and the roses bloom only at the perfect moments. We'll leave that to you lot then.

Me: "Thinkst thou that I, who saw the face of God,

And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,

Am not tormented with ten thousand hells

In being deprived of everlasting bliss?"

My graduate assistant: OK, edgelord.

me last semester: ewww hegemony is such a pretentious word I’m never going to use it in my essay

me this semester: *handubg my punch card to the hegemony cashier* two more pubches and I get a free money hedge right

[sea-buns]

obviously i am infinitely grateful to be in a position where i've found people who will vouch for me to get me the help i need for work/school related things

but also boy can i still be so so anxious

theres an added pressure when the ppl are like "oh yeah we can help with the financials" and they're talking about school and in the moment you're like "that sounds great!"

and then you get home and the anxiety hits you like a freight train like "waitwait can we slow down i haven't even addressed my academic trauma with my psych yet–"

currently i've just been waiting to get an email from ppl to help with like career exploration and education and it's been long enough that i've had time to be even more panicked. long enough to email the counselor to make sure this wait time is normal. long enough for me to wonder if the other ppl dropped my case cuz it was already a pain and a half to get someone who didnt just hear adhd and picture the high function stereotype that we are only ever presented as.

im just. hhhhhh. i really just wanted to learn how jobs work and how to communicate and access accommodations but also i will never have the opportunity to receive this kinda help for schooling ever again and hhhhhhh

[airenyah]

should i just. study theater- film- und medienwissenschaft

BIG life update

I’ve been working for free doing all the duties of a graduate assistant plus some for the marching and pep bands at my university.

But today

Today I was told by the graduate coordinator that he’s putting my name through for official hire

I’m not going to be doing all this for nothing!! I’m going to be a full graduate assistant!!!

Plus my professor has asked that I be a teaching assistant for one of his classes and I’m actually getting to help him teach (this doesn’t usually occur in our music department)
