#and failed high school english

[utilitycaster]

I do have to say that like...there are plenty of conflicts on CR where there's a lot of complexity and both characters make points but I actually do not think there's any reasonable interpretation where Orym is in the wrong this particular time. The idea that he hasn't made his feelings clear to the party is, frankly, laughable given how frequently the same exact people have complained about him bringing up that Otohan killed Derrig and Will and claiming it shuts down the conversation. Like, he literally could not make his feelings clearer and has been doing so for 50-odd episodes; you just don't like that his feelings aren't the feelings you want him to have (and, probably in some cases, that he wants to talk over those feelings with Dorian).

how did u learn english so well (asking as esl also)

Cartoon network mostly tbh. I had some classes in kindergarten bcs they were during mandatory naptime and I just couldn't take a nap at 11 am 🤣 but I don't think those classes did much, if anything. I had English classes for 12 years during mandatory schooling but I was always ahead thanks to cartoon network. When I got a bit older I started watching movies and shows in English with no subtitles which is how I learned to speak like a native speaker sort of. This was an issue bcs the show from which I took most of my vernacular was Dead Like Me (very crass and cynical for those who don't know, and I was in like 4th-5th grade at the time so yeah).... The only time I took English classes outside of school was when my dad was working in the same building as some gifted kid foundation for stemtards so I got discount on classes lmao. I was 14-15 with a bunch of STEM majors (I think this was upper intermediate level English). This experience was more social for me tbh and the stem majors did just let me get drunk with them after classes 🤣🤣🤣 but it also filled in some gaps I had with grammar and my teacher was really cool. After that I was truly fluent enough to just keep watching shows and movies in English and use Anglo internet and the rest is history.

the whole "gay people and their english teachers" thing is always so funny to me cause i never had an english teacher (...or any teacher, to some extent) who wasn't sort of my enemy cause i simply would not do anything or turn anything in. i went to class and acted perfectly polite and all but they'd be like "can you please fucking turn in one essay. please" and i'd be like :) No

Btwwww

What

The fuck

Is

Vertical farming

And why did it have to be the topic of the argumentative essay for the English regents

Two days later and this shit still haunting me cuz im ass at writing for/against a topic i dont properly understand.

Past regents essay texts were about whether classical literature should be read in schools, whether everyone should be mandated to vote, etc.

Stuff that I vaguely understood.

So why. Was. This year's. On. Fucking. VERTICAL FARMING.

Spent half my time skimming through four texts that seemed to assume you know what vertical farming is trying to figure out what they vertical farming is and how it worked cuz writing with absolutely no background info is not possible.

Not to mention the amount of times i said vertical farming and conventional farming in that essay and i pretty much just repeated the texts cuz there was nothing to say if the evidence i have in support is literally "Less water is a good thing" like what else do you want me to say???

If i have the slightest amount of info on a topic beforehand, then i can bs the shit out of the essay because the wording is something familiar that i know and can rely on.

How was I supposed to do that with "VERTICAL FARMING"?!?!

[lucifer-kane]

could never get/relate to gifted kids talk because i was that bitch who was always put in the remedial classes. primarily math, but because of that it took me down pegs from the higher up english/history classes i could have taken

Hii !! I've been a fan of yours for quite a long time now and after seeing your latest post, I'm DYING to draw your oc Holly !! The problem is that I am supposed to study for my exams rn :(

But I swear that, the second I'm done with the exams, I WILL DRAW HOLLY !! :3

Oh wow, that's pretty neat to hear! Though do focus exams, I should still be around by the time that's done with.

And if for some mysterious reason I'm not, people should draw her anyways I think. But yes, priorities first!

Been watching this woman teach Welsh in Spanish, and on the one hand, it’s super helpful for me to learn/improve both, but it also reminds me how woefully inept I am in Spanish and yet 5x as functional in it VS Welsh lmao I’m utterly doomed
