#fourth semester

[diaryofanaverageunicorn]

First day, fourth semester.

Day 18

Henlo, today has been a good day. I woke up and got up in 9 minutes which is only medium difficulty. I did an awesome dark smokey eye and put a cute casual chic outfit together. Lemme give you some visuals.

The first day of classes was great. I got partnered to work with one of my friends (The Captain, and I asked to be, even though the supervisor said they'll do groups on random). We will be creating around the general theme of "What are the problems created by digital media?" so our focus can be on privacy, misinformation, alienation from "real life", etc. We'll do something ironic, basically subverting expectations by suggesting people should spend MORE time on their phones and other such silly goose things. It'll be great. I am tired but satisfied with how today went. I feel excited to work with Birdman as a supervisor and lecturer again.

Love and I have been discussing relationship stuff as we've both been a little too much in our heads and disconnected from each other. I am really happy we talk about these things and that they keep checking in as I need more reassurance than most. I am still thinking of doing the new Insta page thing. It's time for me to take my makeup off (it'll take a Minute) and get ready for speep. I know it's early, but I think I could wake up earlier tomorrow and see if I can put some work into the Insta page before heading to school.

Goodnight,

M.

I’m so sad I was so sure I was gonna get all As this semester but it’s looking like I’ll still end up with one B 😭😭😭😭😭

#THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR LIKE THE FOURTH SEMESTER IN A ROW NOW!!!!!! #I just want all A’s PLS 😭😭 #but then again. it’s not the end of the world LOL #and I’m also still kinda proud of myself bc the class is bio so #anything above a 75 is a win for me LOL #literally the only reason I even got through this class was bc of Prozac in all honesty lmfao #so a little disappointed but it’s not the end!!!! #but. it IS very frustrating that my highest grade would only be an 89. #so close omfg but still better than I originally expected!!!! #I just hope my final semester goes by well!!! #—in store chit chat! 🍫 #also sorry I have been v quiet on here I’m #prepping for surgery and I’m anxious and also my current semester just ended #so I’m catching up on some downtime things I hadn’t done before #but I will return in full throttle someday maybe ☝🏼

i think im honestly doing a good job locking in this finals season bc it's the first finals season i havent had a crush on anybody

#they increased in severity too #first sem: crush on a friend that didnt go anywhere and i never actively pursued #second sem: crush on a friend i asked out the next semester and they said no #third sem: literally a new relationship #but i think the cycle has been broken #fourth sem: single and in agony but an academic weapon

help my university is going to hunt me down and kill me

#the library books we take out are automatically renewed throughout the semester so i always ignore the renewal emails #unless someone specifically recalls a book. but i had ignored that email also 💀 #randomly opened the newest email just now and it was like ⚠️⚠️⚠️ FOURTH OVERDUE NOTICE YOUR LOAN HAS BEEN RECALLED RETURN IMMEDIATELY ⚠️⚠️⚠️ #💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 #HOWEVER they don't start charging money until after the 5th notice so i still have over a week god bless #except. it's a book we need for the exam next week. somebody has been crying blood for weeks now because i haven't returned the book 😭😭😭

To provide some clarity/as a heads-up: I am currently entering what I have started to refer to as “crunch weekend”. To cut a long story short, I have two essays and a 15-minute presentation to start and then also finish within the next two or three days. This is a lot of work.

This means I will probably not have much time to be around very much in terms of actually posting or keeping up with the dashboard, but I will still try and catch back up with things when I take breaks - I just cannot guarantee I’ll be around as much, for the aforementioned reasons. Especially since I would also like to get some sleep this weekend.

I will continue with everything F/Ovember-related after I’ve submitted the last essay on Tuesday, and F/Ovember asks will most likely take priority over non-F/Ovember asks, so that I can get the event complete before the month is done. My dream is to have an empty inbox before the year’s end, but I have literal dozens of things in there, so.. something tells me that’s not happening considering how much thought answering asks tends to take, ahaha

#heart of the void #blog logistics #if you want me you can message me #or tag me in something #and I *should* see that #but yes I should probably retreat a bit for the time being #these are the joys of the most difficult semester of all #(according to multiple fourth-year students I have spoken to anyway. I am hoping they were right. it certainly feels like they were.) #I generally think I’m pretty good at taking time to take care of myself #I’m not one of those people who just ends up living in the library 24/7 to study or revise or anything #self-care is important and rest is a vital part of that

brought up the chat is a fourth person pronoun to my coworkers in the writing tutoring lab so naturally instead of doing our job we spent forty minutes inventing fourth, fifth, and sixth person pronouns from existing english words and also created two categories of verbs while we were at it

#these are my people...... #bullshitting our way through pointless linguistic questions is so much fun. yes our job is to be ''''right'''' about language. #the cube theory destroyed us last semester we couldnt stop assigning anything and everything to taco/quiche/etc it got so out of hand #update kyle saw the fourth wall=fourth person addition too and also thought that person was fucking with people

reading my thesis with the intention of copyediting

and the novel is actually better than i thought. and wow i can see that i did improve my writing since four years ago? wild

now let's keep this up with a better headspace, let's not write under the stressful brain fog

#we learned a lot from writing with the brain fog #but it is not sustainable because i think i burned out after 18 months #which is fine but my fourth and fifth semesters were painful #i think my two weeks of hell are over #personal #tally writes their thesis #tally writes their novel

[the-starlight-papers]

I am going to scream we got another fucking transphobic speaker this semester I thought they would be done.

#this is the second specifically transphobic one this semester #I think our fourth far right speaker overall #AND ALSO I FOUND OUT IM FUCKING STUCK HERE BECSUSE YOU CANT REALLY TRANSFER A MECHSNICAL ENGINEEIFNG DEGREE #ugh

??????????

#in an alternate universe #where I didn't get so sick I had to drop out of college for the like. Fourth or fifth time. #I would have finished my digital art & culture bachelors #& gone on to write my masters thesis on brands' use of memes in advertising #& my doctoral dissertation on an examination of various facets of internet meme dialects with a focus on tumblr #Like. Apart from the fact that I was crashing into the ground chronic illness wise #& had raging undiagnosed ADHD & improperly treated depression #I fucking loved the couple of semesters I did in that program #I got to make memes & turn them in as homework guys #Plus examining internet culture is genuinely fascinating to me #& I love learning & up until I finally gave up on uni I really wanted to at least continue to a masters #Alas my body had different plans #Really hope to someday have both my ADHD & brain fog under enough control #to pick digital sociology back up as a hobby #Anyway absolutely fascinating to me that a tumblr meme made in 2012 #is so mainstream now that it's being referenced in an ad to sell me cranberry juice

Aro book review: Every Bird A Prince by Jenn Reese

I loved this! It's a fantasy middle grade/junior fiction book with an aromantic MC. The main character befriends a group of magic birds and helps them to fight off an evil force.

I really enjoyed the feel of the fantasy elements, although it is definitely a book aimed at younger readers, with a reasonably simple plot and obvious messages.

The fantasy side of the story is nicely paired with the MC's school experiences and her confusion at her friends' sudden interest in romance. While I certainly didn't have any friends showing any interest in romance at that age myself, it certainly fits with what I've heard a lot of other aros talk about!

So while it is aimed at younger readers, I'd definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a fantasy book with a strong aromantic focus.

#aro #aromantic #aro books #Would like to do more for asaw but it's week 1 of semester and I'm overwhelmed #I think that's the fourth year in a row they've coincided ugh

Dude your Maddie Phantom fusion character is awesome! Hope to see more of them in the future! :D

holy shit how far back did you scroll on my blog i havent talked about them in forever

would you believe ive been bouncing a fic idea around in my head for years that ive just been too lazy to write maybe now ill do it

tldr I love you

#I was trying to make them a playlist a few months ago too but then my phone ate it after a bunch of effort #and that kinda killed my motivation to do it rip #anyway yeah the phantom fusion thing is the one unique idea ive ever had #not that other people havent done the fusion thing but ive never seen anyone go in this one very specific and INCREDIBLY angsty direction #lmao #i havent really drawn anything in forever either #theres probably a lot of reasons for that but man did that last semester of college absolutely murder my creativity #fuck it ive decided: new content is that goddamn playlist for the *checks notes* fourth try?

im gonna go harass the fuck out of my film professor and ask him what he thinks about the kissing booth movies because he's CLEARLY seen all three of them despite disparaging them. and then im going to tell him i disliked the godfather and thought it should've been a limited series 😁

#i actually like this professor lmfao don't worry this is out of playful teasing not pettiness #i wanted to take another one of his classes next semester but unfortunately it wouldn't count towards my major or minor #and i'm out of elective credits i can take cuz like over half my credits transferred as electives #ALSO HE LIKES ME TOO DON'T WORRY #HE GAVE ME EXTRA CREDIT ON THE MIDTERM + I GOT LIKE THE FOURTH HIGHEST GRADE IN THE CLASS #he's just a silly guy i think would be funny to just be a little annoying to #u guys get it
