Hey I'm graduating college in may and I just kinda realized that I'll be Done Done with school after that. Not fake-done like I was graduating high school, where I'd have to go to college at the start of the fall. And not fake-done like I was in any of my semesters I took off.

Done Done. As in I accomplished my degree, and I won't ever have to go back to school if I don't want to. What a beautiful, beautiful thought.

#speculation nation #i enjoy learning but not in school. school is the soul killer. there's a reason it's taking me 10 years to get my bachelors.#failed classes and switched majors and part time school (so i could work and pay my way thru) and semesters taken off...#for 9 and a half years now it's been a fucking shadow hanging over my head.#just gotta keep going just gotta persevere. slow and steady wins the race.#and well im nearly there now. holy fuck tho i didnt miss full time school lmfao #i went to part time a few years back to save my fuckin self bc it was just *impossible* to do full time school And work to support myself.#and even part time school plus a job was horrible. but i did it anyways.#and here i am now with my lovely life insurance from my awful paternal death. life sure happens as it will huh.#which will let me complete school in a neat 10 years. graduated high school in 2015 and college in 2025. wild.#not glad my dad died but im grateful that ive gotten this opportunity afterwards.#sure is strange the ways life goes.#anyways yeah im in deadlines hell rn with all these fucking projects but ONCE I FINISH THEM #i will be done with this semester. my second to last semester.#theyre releasing class schedules today for next semester too and im a little antsy. cant edit until next week regardless #but i wanna KNOWWWWW what i got. best case scenario i get my 3 classes i need to graduate #plus my orchestra and bowling. so i have a full 12 credit hours. to be full time still.#im scared of not having gotten 3 classes bc theyre selectives yea so i dont need These classes Specifically #but also it'll be a pain in my fucking ass if i have to go scrounging. and i wanna have my first choices...#but we'll see. i selected several fall-through options and i dont need any single specific class to graduate.#so long as i have 3... thatll be enough...#AUGHHHHH college!!!! im almost done!!!!! i might get straight As this semester!!!!!! exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i need to email my professor about setting up the book meeting lol. i should do that today.

I just had to share this email I got so all y'all can appreciate the absolute state of welfare services in Australia with me:

The NILs Loan Scheme is a government funded, no interest loan scheme for people on low incomes, but this leaves me wondering exactly who tf can qualify for their loans. Because it seems like if you have any symptoms of poverty it's a no.

I applied because I need the clutch replaced in my van, which I live in. It's lucky that I actually CAN afford the cost myself (due to living in a van & not participating in Australia's increasingly ridiculous housing market). I thankfully can afford such an expense these days & was just looking for a responsible financial buffer, just in case. But if this had happened to me a few years ago when I first became homeless and was far less financially stable, then my next living situation wouldn't be "affordable housing" it would be a fucking tent.

Anyway, the backwards ass state of a GOVERNMENT FUNDED welfare scheme refusing to assist those who need welfare the most because they don't want to encourage homelessness or whatever the dumb fuck? Just really rustled my jimmies tbh. Just screams "yet another govt welfare scheme that's actually just about handing out money to fake charities & not helping the poor". Good Shephard just got on the "do not donate to these grifters" list along with the Salvos😒

#I got a root canal & a heap of skin cancer to pay for on top of this clutch replacement right #& I got it #but there's going to be $100 left in my bank account with this all said & done #& I could use ZIP or AfterPay or whatever if need be #but I figured a no-interest no-fee no-nothing loan would be the gold standard of responsible financial decision-making #& lol turns out the eligibility requirements for a NILs loan are HIGHER than a Buy Now Pay Later (w exorbitant fees) type of loan #how tf can you call that a loan scheme for people on low incomes?#when you gotta be at least middle class to qualify?#the fucking state of Australian welfare agencies istg #& I ain't even shocked atp because this is the response I've always gotten from welfare agencies #they always have some (often very stupid) excuse as to why they can't do what they say they do #I hear so often “oh there's plenty of support for the poor & homeless they just choose to be that way”#but this is the support just fyi #this is why poverty & homelessness still exist in Australia #bc all the agencies & organisations & departments & corporations that are “on the job” are only on the job of securing their own pay checks #with as little expenditure on the poor as they can get away with #auspol #poverty

I keep drinking coffee thinking it's gonna make me Productive and then instead of doing the work I actually have to do I just compulsively make spreadsheets :(

#my homework is. not done #but!!! i just realized if i take 2 spanish classes i can have a russian/spanish major instead of just russian #(it's complicated but this would leave me with: double major languages and history with a joint major in asian middle east studies)#(plus a minor in religious studies and concentration in islamicate studies)#first i gotta: relearn spanish for like the third time #but it's ok i'm hopping thru spain in less than a month so i should proooobably do that anyway #man when i was touring colleges my mom was like really dismissive about the idea of double majoring and now i'm here like #How Many Things Can I Stack Up To Get Big Number On Transcript #aaaaaaaand because of ames requirements i did the dumb thing and ended up learning persian while my spanish is still kinda iffy #итак совершилося то что я пытался предотвратить as they say #so i'm just gonna have to study two languages at once next semester... or just keep going thru the cycle of relearning them abt every year #my russian is a big girl it can survive on its own but i now gotta feed the babiessssss #tho ig what this kinda cyclically learning and forgetting spanish has taught me is like #languages are less like babies and more like those lil desert plants that wither up when they don't have any water #they might look dead but they're nearly impossible to kill completely #and will bounce right back after a lil care n patience. i just gotta like.... water em #the one thing standing in my way is ideological opposition to my spanish textbook #i have to pay $200 for access to a *website*#*i don't even get a book just a shitass ebook*#but it's ok one of the spanish profs likes me i think? i think she would let me skip the intro lit class #only problem is it was Genuinely Hard for me to follow along when i audited advanced lit... 90% of the class was heritage speakers #tho ig like. having taken a class meant for native russian speakers should help w learning to survive that kinda thing #genuinely i think i can do it #just gotta make that my goal. study. do it for zapata #and if i wanna go into translating... having good spanish should help right? like if i finally get b2 spanish?#yeah. if i could do kazakh history for native russian speakers i can do spanish lit for heritage spanish speakers. it's equivalent enough #but ok i'm gonna visit my buddy in spain who did nearly the exact same shitass majors combination as me #tho i think he did spanish/arabic for his language major and just Happens To Also Be Fluent In Russian cuz he's Like That #it's ok he's two years older than me i have two years to become that cool #he can tell me what to do

Okay I did get distracted by a grade being posted and I am about to be both a nerd and a millennial but god ngl I do hate classes where you get full points on all your assignments but don't actually get any actual feedback on them. What is the point. If it's a class where everyone gets passing grades for making the effort but you get actual feedback and comments, that's great! But I would genuinely rather get points docked and get extensive comments on what I did well and what needed improvement and why than this.

#what is the POINT #like at that point it feels like busy work frankly! it doesn't feel like anyone's worrying about whether or not I learned something!#and like I can self reflect on my own learning. I'm good at that. that's fine. but a) not everyone can #and b) it REALLY does not help the perception that a degree is something you pay for but don't actually need to learn anything to get #which is a MASSIVE problem rn. there's no actual value placed on LEARNING THINGS.#like I know for a FACT that I have turned in B+ average assignments at best in this class.#just cuz I only have finite time and I gotta stay sane and it's not an area I'm going to go any further than surface level in.#the overview is good and important! but the work I'm doing is reflective of my investment and frankly it should've earned a B+ at most.#like at least if you're docking a point and telling me what for I know you READ the damn thing. christ alive.#you may ask yourself 'oh my god why are you like this' and the answer is. have you looked at my blog.#anyway. okay nOW I'm going to bed.

One day I'll finish my Janeway meta

#you must know it lives in my mind #it is not rent free #I pay the rent #to keep it there #hell I'll put a mortgage on it #because mortgage means until death #mostly I just think about it #but now I gotta dig up some notes from my women in lit class #it might be like 4 different branches now #first I need to be not under the weather so I have energy to do bullshit

household enemy to the yyh watchthrough number one is the olympics. it's taken us a week to get two episodes into the gamemaster fight

#out of three. please the third episode's what makes it okay im fighting for my life out here #it is NOT for lack of trying on my part but theres only a brief window of time when the olympics is not happening #and as it turns out the watchthrough is Not my mom's first priority (how dare she etc)#i do feel slightly bitter that we've gotten through two eps of band o brothers in the same time #we are fighting for the same timeslots yet somehow the hour long show's gotten a leg up??#you don't have time for a 23 min ep but DO for a 60 min one?? explain the math to me please #idk how to explain the vague feeling of betrayal bc it Does Not make sense Nor matter in the slightest #but cmonnnn we were doing so well. and my little bro's starting up school again soon and my dad's gotta go back to work #sometimes eventually (<- hes on medical leave) and my grandparents are coming over next week We're Losing Time Soon #ughhh if i'd known the olympics were happening (<- somehow completely oblivious to this) i'd have accounted for #my mom getting whisked away by the land of synchronized divers and shot putters and whatever the hell #happens in the summer olympics (<- only pays attention to winter olys)#bc that always happens. and *i* have to go back to school in Some Amount Of Time Im Too Scared To Check (p sure it's late aug though) and #when that happens i'll (hopefully) be stuck across town which means we won't be able to do it any time besides the weekends #and i don't wannaaaaa #i know this is the least important problem anyone's ever had like i get that i know but #it's important to me that they sit down and watch this with me. and watching it pull apart and being #the one who's easily the most invested it makes me look all desperate when i ask them for their time and they can't give it #we can only pull this off neatly in the summer and we were so close and now we're losing it right at the finish line #i don't want life to get in the way of this little bubble i've fought so hard to make y'know #and it's childish and embarrassing and whatever but i just want them to have fun with me with this thing i care about a lot #but i can't do that bc my mom needs to watch the judo matches at Every weight class #even though she's recording a lot of them? i don't understand but whatever i know it's her thing im just moping about it ig #i want it to be as perfect an experience for them as possible and it's slipping away from me #and i don't wanna leave this project unfinished when i start school y'know. sighh #i think they might feel like i only want them around when we're watching stuff. whcih is weird bc that's like #The Singular Way we family bonded literally my whole life so idk why they wouldn't get that when reversed #but either way that IS how i wanna spend time with them. i want them to understand this thing that's become a part of me #and i wanna talk With them about it. and so far it's been fun in a way it's never been before. my mom at least seems to really like it #and i want it to Keep going well bc if we lose momentum im worried they'll start finding it tedious. sighh

just realized that just because im no longer a student doesn't mean i can't use this blog for motivation! today i'm going to:

- be decently productive for my wfh job

- clean cats' litter boxes

- put away things in the hallway

- eat lunch

- put away laundry

and i think that's enough for the day. i know it might seem like very little but im trying to be realistic for myself for right now

#ugghhggghHghhggh #i can't believe im supposed to be a Real AdultTM now and I'm so sad that im not going back to campus it just feels WRONG #no new notebooks??? no psl on the way to classes??? no fresh syllabi and meeting new professors??????? GOD #and im still taking an online course for a certification so i don't even get to have the no more assignments I STILL HAVE ASSIGNMENTS #BUT NONE OF THE AMBIENCE #ugh whatever i should get some breakfast #tomorrow i gotta apply more for a real full time job #because my cat has has so many vet appointments in the past week #hw needs a tooth pulled which will be $2000 #and I'm so lucky that my dad pays for it rn but I feel so bad about that #oh god ok anyways sorry for making this my diary I should start journaling again

#11 days to the leaving and only now am i drawing up what all i need to study #chronologically it makes sense to leave latin n music to the last bcos i have like a whole week after history to study for just them #and before that all of my exams are basically in the same week with allowance for the weekend #so i should focus on eng n maths particularly #n then bio and irish and history #but like. my history latin n music teachers r the only ones assigning work. for the exams i have the most time for. lol #like i can ignore the history n music teachers for the most part but like my classes w my latin teacher r one on one i CANNOT brush that of #so im here studying me fucking virgil ig instead of figuring out what im doing w the comparative #sigh. ok priorities ill make up that list of shit i gotta do for each subject #gotta suss out which movie im watching for eng and what poems n stories im studying for irish n what modules im doing for history! lol!#can u tell ive not been paying attention for like. 4 months.#remember kids: cramming is a cool and fun thing to do <- is in a pit #when the leaving cert ends i am going into my room never to be seen again for like a week.#and im getting me mam to buy me something for it. maybe a binder if i come out to her by then #oh well thats future talk. for now. figure out what to study. as ive already said twice #im playinh kh bgm to indulge in the hyperfocus while still getting study done n its kinda working #but mostly i just wanna play kh again...#i havent wrapped up the hades cup n i wanna restart com bcos i think i might know how it works better now #watched a one card deck challenge for recom and its the remake so some shits different but like. i get it now maybe #if nothing else gba com looks rlly rlly cute. the pixel art <£

So we’ve come to find that the principle is a misogynistic. Apparently at his old job he asked a young teacher why she wasn’t at home “making babies” 😑

Then, when another male teacher yelled and screamed at a few students, he didn’t come investigate. When three sets of parents wanted to talk to him about it, he left them waiting for OVER AN HOUR and then never showed up, just sticking the Dean on them.

So yesterday when I let two students out during advisory to use the restroom, like I have been doing, I got an email stating “only one.”

Dude, fuck off.

#teaching tag #during class I usually only let one unless it’s an emergency #advisory though it’s no big deal #well….#ugh I gotta find a new axhooo #*school #I’d leave now but I need coin #I��m almost done paying for my trip and I’d like to eat out a lot during it too #lol

I hate that the things I enjoy cost money, because I’ve felt a lot of joy since I started taking dance classes again, but they’re so expensive.

#my mom got me a five class pass at bdc #so I’ve been using that #but today I used my last class #so now I’ve gotta start paying if I wanna keep taking class #anyone wanna be my sugar daddy and pay for dance classes? 🥺

#aaaaaaaahhh i missed sm on tumblr i just quickly checked some blogs and it made me sad and happy at the same time #but i rly gotta focus on studying for my exams ugh. even tho i was away on the weekend w some of my friends lol. it was so fun #i haven't had sleepovers w friends since i went to highschool which is over a decade ago #it was so good and fun even tho i didn't get a lot of sleep. but i caught up on sleep on the days since and yesterday and today ive been #feeling p energized c: today i. registered? or maybe declared is a more fitting word. that i wanna change my name and gender marker #and now i have to wait until the end of the year to actually change them. but it's in motion!#i also made an appointment for a chest ultrasound so now i just need a psychiatrist to be able to get top surgery w the surgeon i picked #i recently had a job interview for a student job as a mentor! it won't pay a lot but a bit money is more than nothing #and i enjoy being a mentor so i hope ill get the job. haven't heard back yet #also i found out that all the fellow students that i have become friends w are queer. i am friends w almost all my fellow students that #are queer except w one person. it's funny bc when we all started becoming friends we didn't know that the others were queer.#well i outed myself in front of professors and the class multiple times bc I didn't pass back then so it was obvious that im queer #but i didn't know abt the others. we all just gravitated to each other which is nice. one of them isn't even out to family or friends #at home and another one told me I'm the first person they've come out to so i feel p honored that we can be open and ourselves w each other #we watched so many queer movies and shows on the weekend i loved it #i never would've thought i'd come this far. look at me being mostly mental-illness-free medically transitioning and having a social life #being more comfortable w myself than ever #now i just gotta get a nice degree and a well paying fun job (i've had a shitty fun job before) and tackle all those medical issues i have #like exhaustion. but one step at at a time. i truly feel so good rn!! :D hope you guys are doing good as well #personal log stardate

i know im fortunate to have a large sum of money to spend on college but the idea of spending it on college instead of something i actually want makes me sick. i would rather not even have it so i didnt have to worry about it

#if im gonna end up using it on college id like to pull out a little bit just for me. for fun. but id have to get my dad in on that bc the #account was set up when i was 12 and idk where it even is. i may not even be able to do it without him. idk #its good money. i could take out like 500 dollars. thats the amount of my ‘decent act score’ scolarship they gave me automatically. cmon #simons spouting #i hope this doesnt make me sound like a brat or something #i am well off. i… acknowledge that gjgbjj. it was easy i got hit by a car and then they money they gave me gained interest for 7 years.#i mean i guess thats what happened. i swear i had like a thousand dollars. and now i have like 30 thousand dollars. allegedly. and that #that doesnt even sound right. if i have 30k now im pulling it out when im 60. this is my retirement fund. theres gotta be a reason im… not #doing that gjgbdjg. idk much about finances. i didnt pay attention in my financial lit class

Man, why the hell would you make me fill out a form that'll take 2 weeks to process, 3 weeks before the Consequences happen. Like, cmon guys, give me some leeway or something.

#charley talks #welp #time to agonize for a month while this gets sorted out #and it isnt somethinf small either #it determines if im gonna get financial aid from my school which starts in like 3 weeks #if i get denied i gotta pay out of pocket or if its late its the same thing #they could go “whoops you gotta fill it out again” but by the time i fix it id be in class already #smh why the hell do i gotta get audited cause im a dumbass who failed some classes and now my attempted hours are too high #the college was happy taking my money before i got financial aid #wish i knew this was a thing before it came up #maybe id get my shit together to avoid it sigh #now i gotta meet with some people and wait almost a month for some people i dont know to decide if i deserve financial aid or not #ill be so fucking pissed if this doesnt go through #ugh sorry for rambling this crap just really wound me up
