Smart Strategy to Prepare for SAT August 2023 Exam

I headcanon that Oboro and Hizashi were really into video games as students and they would go to the arcade and get way too competitive, and I also headcanon that Yamada can do the Sinistar voice.

my mum keeps responding to my covid precautions with “i get it, you’re not ready yet”. like no i just don’t do them anymore. i don’t really need to eat at restaurants or go to crowded places or be in public without an n95. i can watch the movie at home. i can get take out. an n95 is just uncomfortable sometimes but doesn’t stop me from doing anything. i love not getting sick

That same 9th grade history teacher gave us tons of busywork assignments (it was an AP class) and when we complained he never justified the assignments, he just told us we had to do them. He also never tried to actually enforce them. He assigned us work to complete over the course of two weeks and collected it when we took the tests and all of us to a kid were doing all of it the night before the test every single time and he knew this but he didn't actually confront us about it and take points off, probably because he didn't want to deal with our parents getting mad at him. He also dropped one of the busywork assignments the following year which pissed me off because he basically admitted it was unnecessary but still made us do it for the entire year. My mom did get him to change something once by asking him to explain how something was pedagogically advantageous and he just changed it without trying.

scribble of Sam's lab crew studying poisons the only way they know how: feeding it to samuel!! This is a real option ("dose yourself") in the game that gives you a bunch of research and, wounds...... Between Lettice, Hephaesta, and Samuel himself this has gotta be the least safe lab in all of London

Using genAI to write your essays in University should be grounds for expulsion and I'm not kidding.

Like plagiarism is already grounds for expulsion in a lot of unis why is this any different. If you use genAI to think for you that means you aren't fit for whatever career you were studying for anyway so maybe expulsion is a mercy.

"But Owl isn't that kind of overkill" listen people are bragging about how easy it is to cheat with AI and how hard it is to prove someone was using AI so if you find ONE piece of evidence that someone used it that means they've been using it in everything and everything.

⏰this week in a glance🏃‍♂️

may 13th - 19th ; week 21/52

this week was all about transitions and the concerns regarding things to come, as well as a need to re-allocate my time and energy. i also realized recently that amidst trying to maximize my productivity i have been subconsciously neglecting my thoughts and feelings... these are issues i have faced before and will face again as an unmedicated adhd kid adult in a world that prioritizes productivity and academic/economic success over all else. knowing that doesn't make it any easier to accept though, and it gets tiring to fight the same battles you thought you had once overcome. but i guess that fits perfectly in the spirit of this challenge and the anime it is inspired by, which is all about building the strength and patience to break the same loops over and over. and the first step to that is recognizing these loops

She is a studying hard

1:34pm - isagi yoichi

"yocchan?" you check up on your boyfriend, who was currently burning red.

currently you were out for lunch, at that beef noodle place you had gone to a lot as a kid, wanting to revisit the nostalgia with yoichi. the food tasted the same even years later, almost as if the chef was still working there and was still using the exact same recipes and ingredients.

it all went great, the food itself was amazing and the sweet memories made it taste even better. not until something seemed off about yoichi.

"yes love?" he didn't seem upset or mad.

"you alright? you're ate a lot slower than usual. this much food is nothing to you. do you have a stomach ache?" you felt a bit guilty about the fact that he could've been pretending to be fine before the date, just for your sake. "do you have a fever?" soon your hand made its way to his forehead, under his bangs. it was hot. really hot.

it didn't make sense, he wasn't this warm when he was lying on your shoulder on the bus. his hands are shaking, so are his lips. speaking of his lips, they were red as well, although they were always a pretty shade of pink they were never a prominent scarlet. you gradually piece together the situation.

"yoichi, can you not tolerate spice?"

the question catches him off guard, "of course i can!" but the awkward laughter and lack of eye contact gives him away.

"you're red, like, very red,"

"that's because i love you ! how does someone not get this flustered around someone as pretty as you?"

you can't help but grin at him. "awwww, since i love you back i want to make you try the chili sauce here !" jokingly, you bring it near his bowl, and watch his eyes widen.

"i'm sorry i'm sorry! i think i'll die if i have anything spicier," you giggle at his confession, satisfied that your suspicions were correct. although his reaction was adorable, you were still worried.

"why didn't you tell me then!" you deliver a flick to his forehead, making him yelp. "

"i'm sorryyyy, it's just embarrassing, how are you so unfazed?"

"it's not something you should hide. i don't care what if you eat more than you can handle? gosh you're redder than chigiri's hair."

yoichi whines, "but i can't even handle a bowl of noodles with a bit of chili, how am i supposed to enjoy anything your family makes. oh god what if your mum hates me because i can't handle her food," he says the last part as if it's the end of the world, which it probably is to him. "i can't enjoy your culture and i disappoint your family."

despite it being a silly conversation, you found it quite cute how he did his best to hide it. "first off, my mum already loves you and doesn't care about your spice tolerance. second, it's not that hard to get used to laksa or beef rendang." your hand returns to his cheek, still warm, how bad was he with spice? "i'm impressed you managed to finish it all... you shouldn't push yourself." the bowl was completely empty, every noodle eaten and every drop of soup drank.

"anything for you, you seemed so happy to come back here" yoichi grins, lips still red, "may i get a kiss for my hard work then?"

with a mumbled 'fine' you comply with his request, "you're still an idiot."

"yeah but i'm your idiot," you gently smack him on the shoulder, ready to leave, with the owner of the restaurant lovingly grinning at the same child from years ago coming back with their boyfriend.

hey man. i'm just saying. why would we put inexperienced teenagers with over-inflated egos and obvious emotional issues into combat classes and make them claw their way to the top of their dorms and expect things to just run smoothly. who actually thought this

[hurglewurm]

thinking about how. MORE than one old white woman presiding over me during my master's program in some capacity,,, has gently (unprompted) insinuated to me that accommodations are available, academic or otherwise

like i've had classmates undergo the same meetings, the same presentations for the same prof, etc and they do Not get the same gentle "oh you poor little thing. is this so hard for you? do you need help?"

and it's like. on one hand cool, thanks, glad that's available. i am, however, legit fine and chilling and doing better than ever in a classroom environment because i Stopped Masking in my mid-twenties and i sit cross-legged and play with my spiky ball sometimes and i'm vibing

glad accommodations exist. none of them would do anything helpful for me specifically. but if me being visible is what it takes for you to ? ? feel like you're Helping students who need/use accommodations ? to assuage your Guilt idk lol ? then ok white woman i will continue to exist within eyesight

(wish you'd respect the accommodations of students who actually require them, instead of giving platitudes to me who is i guess more Visibly 'other' to you)

That era of my life predates my tumblr one, but I was a very big Leliana fan back in the day. I actually got into a debate in one of my Queer Studies courses back in college because someone brought her up as an example of Bad Queer Rep because she was “crazy”. I nearly started hurling chairs
