My former department chair, who finally stepped down after 4+ years of intensive, underpaid department-chairing work, who still has a full slate of courses to teach in two different programs, all the advisees in one of those programs, and the usual institutional gimcrackery to deal with: I have been freed from the terrors of being a department chair, it's time to do something fun and relaxing, like a law degree!

advocating for yourself at work and telling your manager that you're self-certifying for at least a week of sick leave and possibly longer because you need to look after your mental health is something that can be so personal actually

I got given some feedback on the second assignment I ever did at university over two years ago (feedback was two years old too) from a senior lecturer and they said my academic voice was strong and that what had been submitted at the time showed great promise 🥹
It was submitted for publication but bc it was a really limited assignment and not long enough it didn't meet the guidelines (also again, literally my second assignment ever) but one of my old lecturers today told me that I could work on it and resubmit it for publication next year or give them my final dissertation instead (if it was good enough)

Im super picky abt dialogue, so this season there were like 2 or 3 time where I was like " hmm yeah I wouldve written *insert slightly different dialogue* instead" , but then I think "is it worse than season 7's dialogue?" and if Its not I let it go
So yeah, shoutout to hands of time for being an absolute dumpster fire when it comes to dialogue and setting the bar on the floor lmao
(That said, the way dialogue and interactions were written in this new season is probably one of my fav ever, up there with s5, aaaaaaaaaaaa <3<3<3<3!!!)

hi I like yelling silly little life updates into the silly little void so here we go
I'm leaving for my internship thing on Monday (slay) and my last three weeks have consisted of 1. Finals (best semester since i started college thank u curves and nice teachers for boosting me), 2. Socializing, 3. Medical appointments (my eyes have gotten worse but I'm good otherwise) and 4. Prepping for my trip
And. This past week. I have had a cold, of all things, which is not good timing because I'm trying to finalize and get stuff done and was not understanding why I couldn't focus AND I was on my period but now it's a bit better I have entered the "expelling fluids" phase where I feel fine but the symptoms persist. Chilling.
So trip prep has included setting up my new laptop because the other broke during finals week, the keyboard started malfunctioning and the repair date was past when I would leave so new laptop ended up being the only option (which is nice) but I have to manually set up all my bookmarks still because I forgot my Firefox sync password and that will take a couple hours probably (last I went through and organized them it took a whole day)
And then excessive amounts of laundry that are still not done, realizing I lack more than 1 field work outfit and having to go to REI too many times to finish the pack list. Although a closet clean out was done and I'm satisfied with where the personal style development is headed I like my clothes.
But that's done so now I just have to. Pack.
And then my travel request for a conference got approved (!!) When it was expected to take until like, July so now I'm trying to finalize and coordinate stuff earlier than expected! But that is welcome that is good.
And I also got accepted to Job B which doesn't actually pay but is very few hours so I'm doing the tutoring and the mentoring both and hopefully not going insane! Might drip volunteering if I need to which reminds me I need to email them! okay!

i was not so much a good student, since I... Went through some weird stuff, I guess. And my parents pretty much opted out from helping me with things. So whenever I don't know the answer or info to random trivia my dad gives, shout-out to him making me feel like an idiot when he points out I should know...
