I whine a lot about latin and being graded on it sucks and grammar is hard and annoying BUT i just saw someone be a dickhead about learning latin so GUESS WHAT MOTHERFUCKER i'm gonna list everything i love about it.

even before we could translate shit and just wrangled dry grammar and vocab i have such fond memories (well credit goes to our teacher there)

like the entire class just marching around the classroom all chanting "is ea id! eius eius eius! ei ei ei!" etc it was so much fun

stopping the time to see who can decline a noun the fastest! to this day if i get stuck i just mentally chant "imperator-imperatoris-imperatore-" suuuuuper fast

also so many words just make sense! like some vocab is literally just like in my native language or in english. and other have helped me so much while learning french and some spanish! it's all! the same! roots! and for my language-loving ass this is actually paradise!!

one we *were* able to translate shit we got to translate actual. texts.

caesar!! an annoying bastard with six-line run-on sentences where nothing makes sense but we literally read THE ORIGINAL CAESAR BOOKS. in their original language. the way he wrote them. that is SO COOL and impressive!!!

the same applies to cicero! and catull! they are so well-known and i read their original texts without error of translation or nuance lost to language differences

i read about the eruption of mt vesuvius in the original, ORIGINAL actual source used by historians to learn about this!! i literally read the original wording of pliny's letters *AND I UNDERSTOOD* (mostly)

martial was a funny motherfucker and i analyzed his poems in their original language! i could see (if not necessarily understand) ever linguistic twist and joke he wrote into them! the ones that can't be translated! i read those!!

almost every time i see latin out in the wild i can just. understand shit?? there's some weird stuff above the door of that super old interesting church how about i translate that and know what teh fuck it says i can literally do that

like FUCK people who think otherwise! it can suck in class but latin is an amazing language to learn! yeah it's dead, but GUESS WHAT it influences so many things still! it's so important still! and interesting! and if you think something sucks just bc it's old and no longer directly present, well, rip to you and also dinosaurs. LEARNING LATIN ABSOLUTELY RULES. I HAVE LOST SO MUCH SLEEP AND SWEAT AND TEARS TO THIS LANGUAGE BUT I AM SO GLAD I GOT TO LEARN IT FOR FOUR YEARS REGARDLESS. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH. THIS WILL ALWAYS BE USEFUL IN SOME WAY

#yes the exams suck #(point in question: today [tho i did ok i think])#BUZ #B U T #*point to post above*#just. im also excited that that post got me fiercely defensive and i argued myself back into loving it #i mean im done after this year (getting my certificate thingy hopefully) but damn #what a time #it *was* worth it #also another shout-out to my first latin teacher. she was amazing. we all loved latin back then and the entire class had As and Bs #and we were so motivated #without her i would not have gotten to the still somewhat decent grades i have today lmao #without her a lot of other stuff would be missing as well but lets not get into that rn #latin #languages #a biscuit's rambles

born to be the favourite of a 17th century King who is let loose with internal and external politics and then assassinated for fear that he's taking control of the crown more than the actual king and for the homosexual allegations. Forced to post on tumblr dot com instead

Had to delete TikTok. Will likely cut back on posting non-art projects here. I need to reroute my project association mode from "this is something I'm doing so I can post it" back to "this is a project I'm doing for myself woooohooo"

#also I just really need to focus on my exams!#I keep distracting myself with projects #that take up a whole day or two or three #or even a week #only to post them to 80 likes #and yes the reward is in the creation process itself and I do love that #but it sucks being stuck in a ''shadowban' or whatever' where stuff that would have gotten 1k-100k+ likes/views in the past #is now barely getting 100 #bah #I love making jt #but it's not worth sacrificing my school and health to try and hit a posting deadline or anything

#i hate being more financially responsible than my parents #I HATE IT #like i've lived through them obsessing over bills and having our services cut many many times and risk our shit being taken from us #and have to listen to my dad making phone calls begging for money from friends and how humilliating that is #and now we're doing a little better but i was raised with that stress and that just doesnt go away #and i see them spend money on shit we don't need and that would be fine if we didn't still have many debts and health issues we keep postpo #postponing bc we don't have money #and since my exchange i've been feeling so guilty about how much money it cost them #and ive talked to them about it when i was applying to give them the chance to tell me no and reconsider #and during it bc i felt like the worst person alive for needing to eat #and after bc i put them in so much debt with my uni that i can't enroll for this semester #and so much shit has happened and ive been feeling guilty and a waste of money and space and most of the time i feel like a shell of myself #and they see it but they dont know what to do because instead of comforting me ever they just put me in a psychologist's office #and just now my mom smiled at me and told me that since they weren't able to give me any presents last year they were talking #and wanted to buy me tickets for lollapalooza this weekend #and i want to go so badly and i entered so many giveaways and stuff but i didnt win so i was also sad about that #but i just looked at her like 😐 because we are definitely not in a financial situation to be spending money like that #like i appreciate the gesture but i've taken enough from them and i already feel guilty #i told her i would feel guilty and wouldn't enjoy it bc they literally don't have the money #and she said ''oh we just can't pay the full amount that we owe right now but we have enough''#???? then put the money on a savings account????? not spend it because you have '''extra'''#which you dont even have!!!!! i told her to prioritise our health bc we all have to get blood work done and exams and multiple doctors and #our general bills!!! like there's more important things that would put me more at ease than a concert which yes would have made me happy #but not like this and not when it's a present out of guilt and inability to know me #and i was crying and she was sad at my reaction and i had to apologise for not accepting it and being like this #literally told her ''i also wish i wasnt like this'' and she said nothing #so that was a fun start to my day :)))))))))#i hate that she thought it was a good idea and i hate that i had to say no #at least i didn't say any of the hurtful things that went through my head so i'll take it as a win #it sucks that we both feel guilty over the uni situation becuase we're both equally at fault

It’s always ‘man I wish I was at home’ until you actually have a reason to stay home because you feel bad and then it’s ‘man I wish I was at work because that would mean I didn’t feel awful’

#same goes for when i was in school lol #if i actually stayed home that was because i was SufferingTM #and no matter how much even college sucked with undiagnosed adhd #i would rather be dragging myself through classes than having a cyclic vomiting episode yknow lol #(for those unfamiliar: largely unknown condition - believed to be related to migraine headaches)#(which i agree with because yknow how migraines have a distinct ‘quality’ of burning - throbbing pain like your head will explode?)#(for me it’s exactly that but my stomach - the organ stomach not just my abdomen in general)#(would be 16-30 hours of feeling like my stomah is about to rupture from being so swollen despite being empty)#(with light and sound sensitivity)#(and nausea and vomiting)#(with the only pain relief being maybe 30-60 seconds after vomiting before the pain starts building back up)#(because there’s no known pain medication that helps 👍)#(yeah my brother in christ i would rather take 3 final exams i didnt study for completely unmedicated)#(i always want to stay home until i actually feel bad enough to do so)#(and then it’s ‘ah yes - be careful what you wish for’ lol)#(this is why i know how to make myself vomit because while i have no desire to throw up food)#(no bullemia or the like i assure you)#(it was the ONLY way to get even a MOMENTS relief from the pain)#(and it also helps to stop my migraines or at least reduce them)#(so - i have tips for self inducing vomiting lol)

yeah, this isnt even going to september, it immediately goes to next year because im studying and i understand absolutely nothing

#18yo me who put φαρμακευτικη στο μηχανογραφικο της should be extremely glad i did not do that well in my exams #tbh i mostly put it there bc i felt the pressure to get in a 'good' uni and also when we visited the uni with school i liked the making the #pills process. it seemed fun and satisfying #but yes other than that i knew i didn't want to get in there #not that i could even if i wanted to with my 14.550 lol #anyway the important thing rn is that pharmacology sucks and is hard and im going to fail #but i guess i had to experience repeating a class even once #lets just hope that i pass all the other exams at least #jo says stuff #university update

I think it's very very very very unfair for your grade in a class to be based on 3 tests only AND to have all three tests weigh the same.

the weight of the midterms should not be equal to the weight of the final exam ESPECIALLY when you don't give us opportunities to raise our grades or actually study the material properly outside of the slides and one million pages of reading you assign. istg I'm gonna drop this class!!!!!

#reverie rambles #my personality midterms are both worth 33%#and my final exam is worth 34%#that's all we're graded on!!!#her slides are not good and most of our midterm content is apparently are “lecture only” content so if you miss even one class you're fucke #she doesn't post recordings either so if you miss something she said you're done #YET SOMEHOW SHE HAS A HIGH RATE MY PROF SCORE #no one I've met in this class likes this prof #it sucks tho cause the content is literally right up my alley #and yes ik it's my responsibility to go to class it's my money wasted if I don't #but I have a 3hr commute and a schedule I made based on the idea I'd be living on campus still #plus I'm on academic warning bc I was too depressed last year to do shit so I'm busy with my other classes this year trying to make all As #and I'm STRESSED #I feel like I don't need to justify myself but like #I also do bc for some reason people still aren't ready to wrap their minds around depression and burnout in university past the jokes #or like the 'aesthetic' of being so overworked you live on energy drinks and tears #as if there's some moral high ground you have over people who struggle the same as you and end up failing while you do fine #it's so shitty that working yourself to the bone to pass is so normalized :')

“you can do anything you set your mind to” they said. “nothing’s impossible!” they said.

those asshole tricked me into thinking i could take statistics and pass, as if i don’t need it to graduate in two days

#normally yes don’t doubt yourself #but i need to learn that non math people don’t math #and i am non math people #sos it’s a proctored lockdown browser exam #statistics isn’t even the regular ‘math sucks’ kind of thing #i’d rather take 2 semesters of physics than do this over again #random reagan things

Another year passed and gone, can you believe it?

I always like to try and reflect on the year nearer the end like this. I had a lot of things I wanted to say in a video, but because of some irl problems this december I haven’t been able to finish it in time, so instead I’ll say a few things here

As much as this year has definitely had its fair share of downs, particularly in December where quite a lot has gone wrong irl for me, I still feel this year 2022, for me at least, has been a much better year than those in past. Yes it’s had it’s problems but it’s also had so many good things happen, and I’ve felt a lot happier than I have in past years.

I’m hoping this’ll keep up in the new year of 2023 and that things will be a lot better and I’ll have a lot more time and energy to draw more, because goodness this year I had a bit of a drought didn’t I? Don’t really wanna keep THAT up

I think overall this year was alright, and that in and of itself is an improvement over past years with how bad they’ve been for me. Ofc this is subjective and just my own experience, I’m sure for a lot of people 2022 sucked or was even better, but I think I’m content with how things have gone, even if december HAS been testing me in that regard

Have a good one folks, happy new year =)

#ramble post #randy rambles #randy rambles too much #end of year reflection #said video will either be done in january or in february. it depends on if i can get time/energy to work on it since i have #exams in jan as well which i've been struggling to work towards #december has very sucked ass for me but otherwise this years been alright #i mean i could easily be forgetting something #years are very long. theres a lot of days #but ye #I'm fairly certain i used to do this kinda thing where i did a post talking about my year in reflection #so we back at this #gonna queue it too #woe queue be upon ye
