#first i have a test for a class

[chemblrish]

27 February 2024

I saw my thesis supervisor yesterday and I'm starting lab work next week!! I'm equal parts nervous and excited haha. I hope everything goes well.

Today in ochem I did distillation and extraction. People used to tell me ochem lab can be really boring bc there's a lot of waiting - I wish! In my case, "waiting" just means doing something else. 4h of walking around the lab and standing at the fume hood :')))) Sitting down for literally like five minutes to estimate the melting point of my sample turned into a blessing

#first test of the semester tomorrow #morning classes got cancelled so extra sleep #but im not happy about it at all #bc that just means sometime in the future we'll have to squeeze this one missing class into our schedule #which is always a mess and hard to organize and it wrecks my routine 😭 #mine #chemblr #studyblr #studyspo #study motivation #stemblr #sciblr #also that thermometer looks like it's low as hell #i promise it's just the angle of the picture i inserted it properly :')

i hate college i just want to think about saiki kusuo forever :((

#i somewhat missed the first few weeks of this semester cuz i was kinda having a depressive episode #and i didnt realize that im unable to make up these quizzes #so i already have a shit grade in this really hard class #like i'll prob be fine if i do everything for the rest of the semester but that means i have absolutely no leeway #so if i fail a test or something im fucked #i cant just email my professor 'hey ik i knowingly enrolled in this difficult class but i was kinda sad last week can u make an exception' #im going crazy #its FINE. #its like one of the only college classes i actually WANTED to take too and i actually care about for my future #so if i fail im literally going to pee my pants and explode #whatever #WHATEVER. #erm meow venting on main kick this bitch out the discord server/j #shes venting in general chat!!!

Prompt by @rabbit-harpist - Chayanne and Tallulah finally meeting in person. (Also @becauseplot as I saw you were also thinking of this one). I hope this is fine. I rotated it a few times too many oops.

Mention of injured child, but it's just the comfort that comes after.

Chayanne only sits still because Papa has him trapped. Dad isn't here, but his closest sister had updated him on that. She is here now, he knows that, her reaching out every few minutes to check if something scaring her is actually dangerous or not.

None of it has been; Chayanne is still a bit uncertain about some things here, but Dad is with her and would never let anything bad happen to anyone ever. So, he promises her it's okay, that he'll see her soon, that she just has to let Dad and the Doctor look after her and then they could see each other. That's what Papa had said, and Papa does not lie.

(It does not change the fact that he wants his sister /now/.)

She updates him on the other children she was with, too, just like she always has - and just like he does for her. He worries about all of them - Bobby and Pomme and Richarlyson and Trump and Allie and Dapper and Ramón and Leonardra and all his siblings without names - but he worries about her most of all. He can talk to her, and has been able to talk to her since the day she was dragged into life, listless and not yet screaming. He remembers things she cannot, and that he never wants her to, and now he finally, finally gets to see her!

Chayanne asked, once, what she looks like. She didn't know, and he doesn't know either.

Finally, finally, she lets him know that the Doctor has told her she can leave. There's more that she doesn't understand, and if she doesn't understand then she cannot explain it to Chayanne either, but what she does know is that Dad has picked her up, and is bringing her to see Chayanne.

Papa cannot keep Chayanne any more; he squirms his way out of Papa's arms, dropping to the floor and running.

"Chayanne!" Papa calls, also standing up to chase.

Chayanne is little, but he is fast. Papa is also fast, but Chayanne has the head start and knows where he is going; out the door, down the stairs, cross the balcony over the "subsidiary power generator", then-

He does not make it to the then. In the little walkway between that room and the next, he collides with Dad.

Dad only laughs, and ruffles his hair, and yells, "it's okay, Missa! I caught him!"

Chayanne does not have attention for his parents, though; he stares up at the little girl being carried on his Dad's hip.

She is much smaller than him, but then he knows people grow and that she has only been alive for half of his life. Curly brown hair, glowing yellow eyes, a patch on her cheek and neck where dark skin fuses with grey-purple insect shell. She is dressed in one of Pomme's dresses - one of the simpler ones, left open at the back so that little blue wings have the freedom to move - a little loose on her, but also too short.

Under it, Chayanne can see bandages - they make a thicker patch, and poke out of both the sleeve and neckline of the dress. He shudders, remembering the agonising pain from when she was shot.

She stares at Chayanne, before turning to Dad and tugging on his arm. He laughs, and Missa scoops up Chayanne, and Dad says, "I'll let you down once we get to the common room, okay Tallulah? It's still a bit dangerous here."

Chayanne can feel the warning in the back of his mind. He would sulk at being picked up again, except that Papa is picking him up, and Chayanne will never actually refuse him.

Instead he rests his head on Papa's shoulder, ignoring the way his parents talk to instead watch his sister. With one hand he waves to her, and she smiles back - fangs and all.

"/Is Tallulah your name?/" he asks her, in the same way they have always talked.

"/I think so!/" she replies. "/Do you like it/?"

"/It's pretty/."

"/So are your arms/!"

Chayanne looks down to where the glowing patterns on his arms are providing a low light. Wanting to make her happy he pulls up his sleeves, showing off more of the intricate - if random - designs.

He doesn't ask if she is hurting, because he knows that she is. He doesn't ask if she is okay, because he knows that she isn't. He doesn't ask about their sisters, because he knows the two Tallulah came with are safe, as are the ones already here, and that the rest of their siblings are dead.

Instead he shows off the patterns, and points out people they pass, and tries his very best to entertain her.

Eventually they make it to the common room - Chayanne's parents are always slow when they decide to walk and talk, no matter how impatient Chayanne is feeling - and set the two children on the floor.

"Chayanne, this is-" Dad begins.

Chayanne does not listen to him. Instead he runs across the room, and pulls his little sister into a hug.

"Careful!" comes the warning from both parents, one in English and the other in Spanish.

Tallulah is in no more pain from the hug than without it, so Chayanne does not let go. He tucks his precious sister close and he knows he cannot protect her, that the hurt is already done, that he could not even save Bobby when he was right there beside him.

But...

She's here now! Dad actually found her! Helped her! She's safe, and she's okay, just like he promised and promised that she someday would be.

He did not know what a hug was until Papa gave him one, and Tallulah is still a little unsure. Carefully he explains, in that silent way which comes most naturally to them, and she hesitantly wraps her arms around him too.

Carefully, he leans down and taps their foreheads together - the gesture of welcome, of comfort, of family that they eggs developed for themselves, before the adults of The Order came and taught them what hugs are.

That's when the tears spill. Not just Tallulah's, but Chayanne's as well.

"/It hurts it hurts it hurts/," Tallulah whispers into his mind. "/Big brother, I'm scared./"

"/You're safe/," he promises back. "/You're safe, you're safe, you're finally safe - I will protect you now. Together, we're together, we won't ever be apart again. You're home now, this is home, nothing will ever hurt you again, Dad and Papa won't allow it./"

Tallulah does not know what /home/ means, but that's okay. Chayanne is going to teach her.

And that starts with letting go, but holding her hand, and dragging her to the box of children's toys and accessories to pick out the first thing that she will ever own.

i think one of my professors has realized that many of the students he teaches think he's a bit of a hardass. i feel so bad. he's genuinely such a sweetheart. he's spent the last two classes dropping comments like "please don't think i'm a sadist. if you're doing this project and thinking 'this is inhumane, but you know Dr. M', please, just come talk to me." like wtf i need to give a speech about how great a guy he is???? i genuinely need to give a persuasive speech about how fun his classes are??? like he's a pain at times and a tough grader but look at me. look at me. he's so reasonable. he has high expectations for everybody evenly. I got a 78 on a final that i thought i absolutely flunked okay? he's reasonable and he's funny in the driest way! it's not nice for people to think he's MEAN. he's not!!! he's just an awkward english professor!!!! be NICE to him FROM NOW ON!!!!

#psychoanalyzing my professor #i think it's getting to him #and i feel horrible #because the first semester i had him i literally thought he was so evil #he's NOT #in fact he's way less evil than a professor everybody likes because he's way more comfy talking to a class #dr m is NOT comfy with public speaking but genuinely he's so nice #he's a tough grader but do you know what he doesn't do???? #expect more than you can give!!! #he wants everything from you but when you give everything its gonna be FINE!!! #and yeah on the tests and stuff he wants what he says repeated back to him but if you pay attention and think clearly about it its going to #dont give him more than exactly what he asks for #only bs if you have no clue whatsoever #you'll do FINE #lowest grade i've gotten on a test from him was a B- #and like. im proud of that!!! #Also when he wants things he's really good at explaining what it is he wants to see #also he's so insanely smart it scares me #anyways #there are many benefits to attending a catholic college

See me eat my words and not post anything on Benkei's bday :'''')

Buuuut it's BD Foundation Day yesterday and I still want to post that Benkei fic in February at least (see me jinx myself again jdjdj). On another note, god I wanna go to Chiba! The highway referenced here is Tokyo Bay Aqua Line which connects Kawasaki to Chiba. I lucked on the timeline for this bc it was made around 1997 so the boys could drive there :3

#writing #green light #the beach trip with my friend last weekend probably inspired me more to write this fic so :> #but i have to study for a test for my japanese class tom so writing this is a reward :''''))) #the twt fanartist for first gen bd are godsent istg t.t #i miss writing for my bd boys #and introducing more dynamics with them and mc :))))

[wishmemel]

only way i got through the day was hallucinating megumi beside me the entire time

#IT WAS SO COLD TODAY #wind was blowing so intensely #i kept picturing megumi walking beside me when i was outside n giving me his jacket #everytime i got distracted i could just hear his voice telling me to focus hehe #i should mention it was my first day back after a week of skipping classes cause i was sick #it was all just a haze but i got through it with hallucination megs !! #we did it guys #anyways he accompanied me to every single class #ngl i literally stepped foot in one of my classes and then #my teacher was like safi great you’re here !! we had a test yesterday that u missed btw n u can make it up right. this. instant!! #and i was like um. okay. #internally panicking #but the test seemed pretty easy so i hope it went well #it was super short too like a little quiz #but i was so surprised help #my friends told me about it n i really thought she’d give me a few days to prepare or smth #anyways guess who’s home now hehe > < #gonna eat smth yummy so i stop feeling dizzy and then lay in bed and do some homework #i have so much #megs is nagging me to finish it #if you read my entire rant then ily and if u skimmed it then ilyt #but if you didn’t read a word and skipped to the end then just know that megumi is flicking your forehead really hard rn #꒰ soon you'll get better. ꒱

i just want to know if anybody else on tumblr is taking health and social in college because i am, and today we had to fix our feedback except (this isn't me bragging.. i promise.) i didn't have any, and i am literally never in lesson - i always waffle, but like maybe it's cause of all the extra explanations and definitions??

#i am so confused. #if i do so well here why can i in my english lessons? #i wanna cry. #but like i do kinda wanna brag- #hehe. #🤭😭 #college #i hate college. #this morning i spilt milk down myself and had to change and then i got stuck in the rain #but then my mum brought me mcdonalds #and then i had a test so my teacher let us leave an hour hour #so i got to have a second lunch and i saw my friend from another class #then i thought i was going to class late but the teacher was late #OH!! #i also forgot my english book but it didn't matter #anyways.. #during lesson the teacher basically ignored me cause she was helping other people. #and then she was like if you've done this you can leave but i left anyways. #so i got home at 5 and only finished it at 8 but like idk if i was even supposed to do half of the work i did in the assignment #and i still have 3 tasks. #DID I TELL YOU IT WAS MY FIRST DAY BACK? #personal #vent

vital part of the Kids Cant Read discourse thats KILLING ME is that the only opinions we see are from english teachers. this is fine when the discussion is ostensibly about literacy but i think we should pass the phone to math teachers and computer science teachers. because im a little suspicious that the focus on stem for the past 20+ years could be a contributing factor

#'kids dont even get spelling tests anymore because their teachers just expect theyll have spellcheck 😥😥' #1. they will (said as someone coming up on 8 years of school spelling competitions) #2. which generations fault is that 🤨 #3. if spelling is being phased out but we all know block coding what does this say about how our 'stem first' values are working out #not sure how well i articulated this but the answer you should be at rn is 'they arent' #english class has been devalued to where people on this site think 'media literacy' means 'agreeing with my take' #people irl say computer science is the only way to make money #theres huge misconceptions about simple shit youd learn in a humanities class #the concept of cultural diffusion. which religion believes what. history of different countries. #things ive had to tell grown adults: africa is not a country. or a barren wasteland. neither is the arctic circle. #the amazon ALSO has people in it. the us DOES have something to do w the philippines actually #is this how we get the james somertons of the world #nah jk he didnt know how to code. did yall see the process of him privatinf his videos lmfao

I just realized I probably will not be able to play the new update tomorrow morning because I instead have to study for my POLS exam that morning

#okay I’m probably exaggerating #I wake up at 5:30 and I’m not going out for walks because it’s too cold #so I’ll have like 2 hours before I set off for my first class #I mean sure I can try spending some of that time studying but still #I have 6 hours in between when I wake up and when I take my test #and I did just fine last time #it’ll probably be fine #I don’t stress Political Science much #cookie run #school stuff #real life stuff #exams #random stuff

as usual i am up late into the night planning my future when i should be: getting a good nights sleep so that i even have a future!!

#i have work in seven and a half hours. so i should really be getting to bed #BUT i officially made my final definitive degree plan!!!! i mean not the actual classes but all the requirements i have to meet and how!! #(in order to earn: history and information science double major. with certificates in material culture and classics) #and i’m genuinely excited for every single class i have to take except for human-computer interaction #just cause i know it’s gonna get overly technical in ways that won’t quite apply to my future #anyway every single other thing i’m gonna do is very cool and exciting. so everything is good really #but i should be sleeping. and i’m not. as usual 🤧 #idk wish me luck!!!! i’m so hyped about my degree plan though #i’ll go into more detail another time. i’m very excited #ANYWAY goodnight!!!! can’t be so busy planning my future in library science that i DONT GO TO MY SHELVING JOB #kind of important to actually go to work for the library that employs me…. #and then i might go see a first-printing roget’s thesaurus!!!! or i’ll sleep. we’ll see #followed by lunch with GUY WHO IS THE WORST KILL HIM WITH HAMMERS #(there is nothing really wrong with me he just keeps kind of being mean to me and also expecting me to fall in love with him. but like #extremely passively and not manipulatively it’s just like. hey buddy you’re doing this friendship wrong….) #anyway then i have a class and after that i have an hour to rest. and then a phone call and then a lot of homework #(ten page paper draft due in a week and a half!! so it’s time to start writing the actual body of it) #and then i sleep for a LONG time and then work again on saturday. and then sleepover with somebody i have a crush on?? #and then be normal all day on sunday and do a little more paper writing. and programming homework. and whatever else #and then keep up with the slog for three weeks!!!! and all of a sudden it’s summer!!!! #projects left this year: material culture paper (entirely unstarted. but may research the thesaurus and just win!!!!) #history project (draft due the monday after next and real paper due a week after classes end) #one more programming assignment where i adapt my recipe doubler project (probably. it’s getting stupid at this point but it’s what i got!!) #and a programming test in two weeks and then the final a week after that. then no more programming #and then i just have my weekly latin tests and a latin final on may 5th. and then EVERYTHING IS DONE #ok i got this. sorry for walking through my schedule in the tags it’s how i remember what’s real #can’t believe my fucking partner just kind of walked out on me there hello???? like. we should be powering through finals together #but i’m genuinely better off without him so i guess it’s just whatever. trash took itself out or something?? #anyway. i’m so regular. and i have work in the morning. and i’m going to sleep #thank you world. goodnight

yk that military kid camp i went to? gone for like a week? there were so many homeschooled kids it was crazy. and people that skipped grades. like a 14 yr old is a junior and this 15 yr old is starting freshman in college. made me feel 1) dumb 2) better because i feel like i am inherently less awkward and less socially inept than the average homeschooled kid. i do feel bad a little bit. not a lot.

you are less socially inept than the average homeschool kid I promise. this includes me unfortunately. also don't worry about whether or not they're smarter than you I promise something is still wrong with them

#15 yr old freshman in college is probably just doing dual enrollment which I was SUPPOSED TO DO #but I was lazy and kept putting off taking the practice tests so now I'm a senior. and still haven't started dual enrollment #probably not going to #but yeah a lot of homeschoolers do dual enrollment bc supposedly? the first 2 years of college aren't really major specific #they're like. general classes everyone is required to take. so homeschoolers with flexible schedules have the time and ability #to take those during highschool. they also might just not be taking the highschool versions of those classes at all #like if you can do. entry level college biology or highschool biology well the college one is the same stuff but more in depth #so you don't need to take the highschool class #and then as for the 14 yr old junior well one homeschoolers tend to have less work #I don't really get homework because it's just schoolwork #like I just have to complete things on khan academy #and a lot of in school classroom time is just the teacher trying to manage 20 kids. which isn't a problem here #so I have like. 3-4 hours of schoolwork total in a day probably? you could totally backload more of it #to be finished quicker #anyway they're not any smarter than you they just do school differently in a way that sounds more impressive #but isn't gonna have that big of an effect later #finishing college 2 years early doesn't actually get you anything but your degree 2 years early #ask #ghoultaffy #hi jayme!

[supersymmetries]

i've finally reached the part in the semester where we're covering the second law of thermodynamics. matt bellamy we're in it together now

#i post #no but in all seriousness it's super cool and i shouldn't make it out to be super hard because i should have confidence in myself #i'm also finally getting to use energy equations in a fun way (that E = KE + PE shit you probably saw in the last few years of grade school #you don't really get much use out of them in the first two sections covering simple kinematics and then EM #beyond them being slightly more convenient ways of solving problems #but they're obviously essential to thermodynamics and now it's fun #i still don't test well however but the prof is the gay tumblr user to my luke skywalker. he sees my chanel boots. he sees me throw down-- #on the practice problems we do in class #so i have a chance at an A in the class with a really really cool extra credit assignment #right after spring break i have to give a 5-10 minute presentation on thermodynamics WRT my major #the most obvious low-hanging fruit is the color of stars (and if i can't find anything else i will do that) #but i'm almost tempted to try and find a hw problem in the book and do a whole thing on that #that way i get to show off the fact that i do know how to do math i just have a really poor memory lol #or maybe i'll do something on the future of the universe at the largest timescales-- like how all star cores will eventually turn to iron #or how black holes gradually dissolve #idk #but yeah super cool shit

there’s so much i wanna do this week/month/etc but i’m just too sick, i have no energy, i can’t sleep, i’m constantly nauseous and headachey and on the verge of a migraine, i’m stressed and irritable and impatient and panicky…….how tf did i survive nearly 5 years of high school untreated if i can’t even manage this when i don’t have any major obligations rn

#at least i finally got my meds so hopefully i feel a little better soon #although i’m now on 20 pills per day which is Just Great #whenever i’m in remission it’s nice to just. forget sometimes that this can happen at any time #kinda wish i had the typical kinda chronic illness that people talk about with ‘flares’ #or at least triggers that i can plan around #the other times have all had an easily identifiable stressor tho tbf. idk what caused this one #the first time was whooping cough and the next few were all very major life stressors like my cat dying right after i started uni #and i think also towards the end of my honours thesis? #but this…….there’s no major stress right now. nothing wildly beyond normal #i’m a little concerned about my joints tho. they’ve been so much worse than normal the last few months #so i’m kinda worried i’m developing rheumatoid arthritis (also an autoimmune disease and it runs in the family specifically) #so if that’s happening then it could set my thyroid off? probably should get to the doctor at some point #obv i’m seeing my endo for thyroid stuff. but i should see my gp and get her to run all the autoimmune blood tests again #i’ve done that before but it’s been a few years and my ankles and knees are so painful i can’t even walk properly a lot of the time #BUT I JUST WANNA DO THINGS I ENJOY AND I CANT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT #‘oh you’re so lucky you don’t have as many obligations because you’re chronically ill’ ha ha ha please swap lives with me immediately #personal #but seriously. i wasn’t diagnosed until i was nearly 17 and we can trace it back to whooping cough when i was 12 #so it was the last half of year 6 and then all of years 7-10 and the start of year 11 of just being. uh. ‘very lazy and complaining a lot’ #and TEACHERS joking about me and my sister (who was dealing with an arguably more severe undiagnosed disease) missing so many classes #wow so funny pdhpe teacher who’s supposed to be teaching is about health #and the thing with being a mentally ill teenager is that hyperthyroidism can just look like a very severe anxiety disorder #so i didn’t go to the dr until i was too sick to go to school at all. and luckily had a good dr who did a blood test #i’m just rambling now because i can’t sleep and i don’t wanna lie here doing nothing #might go play pvz or something. that’s been keeping me entertained

Whaaa driver’s Ed is one of the easiest classes you can take

I don't know anon, maybe the level of the questions is low, but that's assuming they're formulated in good faith.

Part of the problem is that since I'm only training I am incredibly over the forced snail pace so I make silly inattention mistakes I hopefully won't make taking the actual exam, but I'm still not happy that some questions are purposefully based on semantics so that you can know and understand the underlying practical problem and still answer wrong. Not even counting the moralizing questions, like the stats about people killed in a car accident every year. I understand it's good to have been told these numbers to know the risk and drill in our heads to be careful, I just don't think "memorizing a number per time duration" is a skill that should be measured by drivers ed. I really hope these are training-only questions but meh. Unlikely.

#not sure we're talking abt the same drivers ed as well tbh i wouldn't describe it as a class i think we're in different countries #and i dunno how similar the systems are #same again i get why it's important to be TOLD where the valve for oil and the valve for cooling liquid are and how to check them #but like. is it worth a point? from someone who obviously doesn't have a car? #like i'm gonna need to check the oil level i'll look it up the first three times and then i'll have it memorized for life #it's not a time-sensitive task #so why can that be the question that makes you fail the theoretical test BEFORE you've had a car in your hands #i don't know. maybe i'm stupid and searching for excuses on why i'm getting below passing scores #but it infuriates me to take drivers ed and i always have a rant locked and loaded so #asks #anonymous
