some reading notes recently: college bound senior couldn't sound out "uninhibitedly," had no idea what "inhibit" meant; eleventh grader overall in a very solid position to do very well on the SAT after a few months of practice laughed a little when (thinking of other recent sessions) i took a moment to clarify the common meaning of "critical" meaning "among or by critics," but then got a question wrong partly because she didn't know the meaning of the phrase "at the expense of"
#might have mentioned the uninhibitedly one recently#that one stands out bc#well#partly bc it's a word i think most college instructors/professors would assume their students could read lol#but also bc it's an incredibly regular word#made up of a fairly simple 3 syllable base#plus 3 of the most common affixes in the english language

My big takeaway from episode 4 is that Juyeong x Dohoe x Hyeonho could work. It could WORK, people! Throuple for the win 😍
#let free the curse of taekwondo#a lawyer an English teacher and a taekwondo instructor walk into a room#and get married#the end#juyeong x dohoe x hyeonho#juyeong might be a little resentful of hyeonho at first#but they can bond over dohoe icing both of them out at various times!#sure that hyeonho’s fault and for a lot shorter time#but still#they’re all in love together 🙏#and if hwang da seul wanted to do her next show about a relationship like dohoe and hyeonho#where that’s the focus?#I would eat it up#just use the same actors and pull out parts of this story#save on costs

im the only person in class today 2 hours one on one language instruction (yippee!) (i'm dead on the floor)
#language learning#like wow! one on one with the instructor!#but also OH GOD ONE ON ONE WITH THE INSTRUCTOR#it's fine i knew this was likely going in#there's only 3 of us. 1 of us has fall break rn#the other one literally flew in last night after break i didn't think she'd make it#but i'm still shaking n crying like oh my godddd#we're just doing review since the one's on fall break#but all of the questions are for me#i must answer everything#and this is the class taught in spanish which i'm only like. 80% fluent in#it's fine i've been doing good#except for the part about giving directions because i'm horrible with them in every language I speak#so i was just like FUCK i don't know how to get from this place to the second place in ENGLISH how am i gonna say it in SPANISH OR NAHUATL#outside of that i'm crushing it guys you should be really proud of me and compliment me a lot

just had a revelation. i think.
mw2 some kind of silly romcom au???? idk what to call this
— Soap and Ghost are having some relationship problems. (maybe something like arguing over nothing, miscommunication, etc)
— ofc Soap would tell his bestie Rudy all bout it
— "i've read in an article that in such cases it can be good to start a new hobby together, to connect more with each other, you know"
"idk…"
"remember Alejandro?"
"ur bf?"
"he's not my bf! … yet. Anyways, he and this woman, Valeria, if i remember correctly, own a dance studio where they teach latin dance…"
"No way. Simon would never…"
"you dont know til you try!"
—Ghost somehow (can't resist johnnys puppy-dog eyes when asking for sth) ends up agreeing to Soap's suggestion to start a new activity together.
— Truth is Soap didnt tell him exactly what the activity was
#sorry for my english#i live for the idea of Alejandro and Valeria as dance instructors#ghostsoap#alerudy#valejandro#mw2#simon ghost riley#john soap mactavish#cod mwii#rodolfo parra#alejandro vargas#valeria garza

#head instructor to the TAs in the lab section i TA for: how r u guys feeling abt the workload?#me who hasnt graded anything since week 1 and spent an hr that morning filling out a patient safety plan: 🙃#listen. we r experiencing symptoms that make us shitty at our job. which is not helpful for a positive outlook#i was also experiencing horrible cramps at the time bc i lost my ibuprofen and 2 days ago i stopped the birth control in a desperate effort#to stop feeling terrible. but in this moment i feel alright. its wild to go from drastically unhappy to like lol wtf was that? anyway stop#being a bby loser. for no obvious reason. im gonna start the birth control again to see if i get depressed again or if that was just me lol#i dont think my therapist understands the depth of my executive functioning issues tho. bc im a grad student and can meet deadlines. like#let me tell u im a fucking disaster abt starting things. i will go back and forth and get nothing done forever. or i do things halfway and#make everything 30 times more difficult later bc no one else understands how my brain works#ah well. itll b fine. sometimes i just get freaked out that i wanna b better and i dont kno how to do that. so i spiral in despair a lil#ill b fine. im good at catching myself before i get too out of control. annoyingly tho i am not currently beating the bip0lar allagations#bc whatever tf is wrong with me i do probably fit the diagnostic criteria for bip0lar 2. i dont kno y that freaks me out so much. i guess#its bc it feels like something i cant just make better thru force of will and i grew up in a home that was very obsessively#health conscious to the point my dad gets anxious abt taking a single ibuprofen. so like ive been conditioned to get freaked out by#medication. literally my grandma will call me and tell me to b suspicious of doctors and to not take medicine unless absolutely necessary.#like lady u r the genetic reason i have 0cd shut the fuck up. also it feels like something that would more negatively affect how ppl think#of u than saying oh yea i get depressed or i have anxiety. like the connotation feels worse im used to just telling ppl whatever tf#my problem is. so the idea of holding something back feels weird. which annoys me bc i dont think there should b so much of a stigma. its#bullshit. anyway idk. im tired. i was trying to think of a comfort tv show with my therapist and all i could think was the terror#when im depressed i wanna watch those English mother fuckers suffer and die. i just lov that show so much. harry g00dsir my beloved. the#most me coded character to ever exist#unrelated

I don't want to brag or sound too optimistic about it, but after three weeks of training at a private college, I think my lessons with this one particular immigrant student (who has serious motivational problems lemme tell ya) are finally starting to get through and there's been improvement.
Only slight improvement so far but I have spotted some, so maybe not all hope is lost yet.
Remains to be seen I guess.
#personal#so in case anyone's still wondering i'm studying to become a tutor/instructor/guidance counselor etc. etc. whatever it's called in english#and currently i mostly work with immigrants with language. sometimes i help high school students as well. but mostly immigrants#and there's this one immigrant student who's been there since last spring. and he still barely even knows the basics because he's 'given up#according to him that is. he told me this at least three times yesterday and i told him that's a problem#so i've been trying to hammer it through his head that he can't be sitting in classes and using his phone when he's supposed to be learning#or expect me or teachers giving him all the answers when he also needs to show a little effort and help us back as well#and that he needs to participate in pair and group activities in classes because we're a team and we need to work together#so basically he's been asking me to either teach him or then find someone who can teach him#i told one of our teachers this and she answered that he could also participate in evening activities at the college but he's not doing tha#and according to him he doesn't 'mingle'. so i told him maybe he should once in a while. get out of his comfort zone. at least try#to my surprise he actually showed up to one of the evening activities that i hosted. didn't do much anything there but sit but still#that was effort. he did exactly what i said despite it making him a little uncomfortable so that's improvement#so then yesterday he asked me about teaching him the language again. i told him i host a homework club at tuesdays & thursdays @ 3:30-4:30p#he showed up there yesterday and was the only student. so i had time to teach him basic greetings. weekdays. months. things he shoulda know#and i thought it's all probably in vain but i tried. so today. he was in their class and actually doing pair work and reading stuff aloud#and even translating some stuff when i asked. calling it easy. and that he's trying to use his phone less and memorize this stuff instead#to which the rest clapped at and cheered him on for. and i told this to the teacher afterwards when she asked me about him. and she gave#me a thumbs up and looked a little surprised but also delighted. because he's been a popular subject amongst ourselves for a reason#so i don't want to get too optimistic about it. because he still has an attitude problem. but he's tried a little at least. so there's hope

Oh dear, tutoring is addictive. I'm going to have to set boundaries on myself for when I work. It's so tempting to just be like. I'm not doing anything important. I could...tutor. If I'm not careful, I'll let it eat into my sleep or put off doing fun things. Best thing to do is to schedule it.
#and also I learned I need to check my typing before I hit send#i never learned to type correctly and i have gotten FAR too used to being able to edit my words#it is AWKWARD to mistype a word as an english instructor#like I swear I can spell I just can't fingers good

i don't even want to take half my classes that im registered for autumn quarter
#this is just me spitballing here -#definitely need to take the security related classes that i want to do and even if i did dogshit at databases i still want to take the next#-class in the series bc i heard its more programming#also maybe the instructor won't suck that was a huge part of it#and im dropping data science im sorry i can't do algos i can't do machine learning. fuck cs theory im not into that.#but the question now is - do systems (which would give me a leg up in the security track) or do animation capstone (which is cool)#downside of systems is that theyre some of the hardest programming classes and i have to do group projects#downside of animation is that i missed the ball on most of the stuff and its a lot of classes in a sequence. also group projects.#(or neither and fuck off and do the global health minor or take english/art/architecture/philosophy classes just for fun idfk)#the stem major's curse#the last humanities option is looking nice rn maybe i can also take a bunch of public health stuff too#i actually kind of want to enjoy college even if im a commuter with no friends#hm ok i will go look for some classes later today#the data science stuff really screwed me over im glad im free of that at least#milk (normal)#i am kind of the ''mid at everything'' guy so no specialization for me or else i get bored and start attacking myself with hammers#and i change my mind about who i am and my personality every few months so thats really fun to deal with.

weird question. but in ur opinion, what major would tim do at college? I was thinking comp sci but making him a business major would be so funny
good question! to be honest.. i want to say it’s difficult to pin down any one major he’d choose, especially because i feel like he’s not exactly academically inclined, at least if he’s doing vigilante stuff? school was always a big issue for him hence him dropping out to focus on The Mission and that seems like All He Is Doing right now thank you dc editorial. but if he isn’t… comp sci is a good choice but for me, i lean towards maybe something like mechanical engineering? or electrical engineering? kinda feel like he has comp sci in the bag already from having to learn it/having learned it in his time as a vigilante (largely due to babs im sure!)
but mechanical or electrical engineering just because of how much stuff he created for his suit when he was robin and how he was always reconfiguring redbird and messing with all of it. although where those skills and that degree could be applied is Another Question Entirely. my best guess is — and this is probably super basic — with WE? or maybe if we want to have a little fun. somewhere like kord industries. or even STAR labs. or maybe a teaching position? could see him being down for that as he gets older
a little more indulgent would be photography but even if not a major i would like to think he at least minors in it or something!
business major would be SO funny because he would be miserable the entire time. i think.
but yeah! he’s just. idk. probably hates prerequisites. probably wants to take ten classes at once. he’d really need to slow down i think which is the goal. ultimately. for me. in any case This got very long my bad <3 i’m just. fascinated by him and his mysterious future
#this is not at all a weird question anon this is a question i’ve thought about At Length#because it’s not at all clear cut on what he would study in college or what he would do as a job#working with WE is a cop out and it’s very intentional because i think he knows that too#and it’s easy. right. so it’s not bad necessarily but it’s like. Expected. and i don’t feel like it’s something he would want to do#For The Rest Of His Life. you know?#wait i hope that doesn’t come off negatively. me saying it’s a cop out. i think it’s like. subtext. known. it’s like yeah he’s working there#and he uses it to his advantage to avoid questions about the future ESPECIALLT if he’s still doing the vigilante thing#and like with the others it’s fairly easy. jason the obvious choice fandom likes is english teacher#Me personally i like him as a nurse/EMT#dick? he’s not a cop idc what dc says HE IS NOT A COP. that man is a gymnastics instructor#or maybe. social worker. had that thought at one point#damian? feel like the obvious choice is something with WE but i do like the thought of him as a vet can’t lie#cass… she does not dream of labor. i do not dream of her dreaming of labor. bruce probably doesn’t either hes totally fine with her just#living her life. doing some ballet on the side. you know. just having fun#you know??#for steph. social worker. i think.#for duke…. oh god. i don’t know. i have Thoughrs. but i’m not sure if they’re correct#first one is counselor. but then i jump to he might be the guy to major in mathematics. OR! comp sci? maybe? i think that could be up his#alley? idk. open to suggestions#open to suggestions for all of these <3 if anyone disagrees. also god sorry these tags are so long#inbox#anonymous

#edit: language is nahuatl btw!#quil’s unholy underworld#what is with tumblr’s refusal to remember that tag#anyway#gonna start a new language soon and. the instructor is in méxico and will be zooming in#and they require a certain level of Spanish in order to take it#because of that#but like. yes I’m theoretically passably fluent#however I have very very little real world practice#so I am. nervous#idk how much Spanish will be needed or how much English this instructor knows#but my GOD i want to take this class so I really hope I know enough#they didn’t have any Spanish test before it or anything#i was just casually told knowing Spanish is good for this#perhaps my Spanish will improve from this too#anyway. language is a sore spot ough </3#also super annoying I have to physically go to campus…to do an online class -_-#it’s my only class that day too I’m literally going to campus JUST to be online#bro let me zoom from home i don’t wanna make the commute#fjowidodknw#imposter syndrome with language activate!#FHIWKSKSK#it’ll be fine everything’s fine it’s all good

I can't be the only person who's reading something in French, sees something in English in the middle, and read the English with a French accent before moving back to French, right?
#its not even a stereotypical french accent i just do the same accent a french instructor i follow has when he speaks english#like my brain quite literally just copied him because i watched him so much when i was a beginner#personal
