#major college update

[saeran-exe]

26/08/24 ヽ(o´3`o)ﾉ

A pretty normal Monday! I don't have class on Mondays so I usually have more time to do stuff I either want or have to do but have no time on other days.

Today's to-do list:

○ Start answering transport phenomena list of exercises from the textbook ;

○ Apply for a position at the engineering and innovation model office at university (I even made my very first resume!) ;

○ Have French class ;

○ Go to the GYM ;

Extra:

○ Watch a few episodes of Haikyuu! with my friend!

02.17.2024~ Apologies for the lack of updates, college has definitely taken a toll on my free time. Lots of practice with coding, taking a step back and looking at everything w a wide lens, and the past few exam scores led me to decide how I wish to finalize my concentrations for my major: Artificial intelligence and Media!

Heyy haha.. we didn't mean to vanish off the face of the earth. Whoops.

So it turns out university takes up a lot of time out of one's day (who could've guessed /s) and we need to focus on real world things. We wanted to give you all a little update, though, at least, now that we're settled in.

We're living on campus and having a good time so far, though we haven't made too many connections with the community yet. It's been a time of self discovery and reflection for us and we're a lot happier with ourselves, even though living independently is tough and inevitably going to get tougher.

We love our art classes! We're already learning new techniques and media and appreciate the learning curve. We catch on to most things pretty quickly either way, but having a bit of a challenge is nice.

Finance sucks. Assignment deadlines suck. Having to have self discipline sucks. Lol

Overall, very happy with our decision and we're determined to see it through!

Okay so, here I am with my pointless ramblings.

Dr. Prerna Kamble.

department of english literature. her topic is ‘novellas’.

Ma'am is actually a kokil kanthi apsara cuz hear me- as you won't be able to hear her from the backbenches.

She's pretty nice tho, and sweet. Collectively better than all the school teachers I've seen in my life.

Personal fav so far ngl. Encourages us to provide our input openly and does not belittle us for wrong answers.

Maybe I'll try to be in her good books because I love validation from English professors.

Dr. Grishma Khobragade.

head of department of english literature. he's not teaching any topic so far.

Heavens know how sir has the energy to speak so much so early in the morning (it's 10:30 am but don't come at me).

I don't think he ever shuts up. The yapping game is strong.

Compulsive oversharer. Speaks about his family and achievements in every third sentence. He's like me. Actually not, I'm not that of a boastful person.

He prolly knows my name now because I answer stuff in the class. Looks at me whenever someone isn't able to answer something. I don't want to live upto anybody's expectations, I was born to be a menace to the society.

Gives male Geet vibes from Jab We Met but make it slightly annoying? I think I'm being a hater now.

Dr. Samaajdaar aka, Dr. Sam.

or as my friend and I like to call him, dr. spicy nice. department of english literature. he teaches us short stories.

Has the most brutal roasts. You'd be compelled to hide your face when he starts speaking.

God. The superiority complex is wild but kinda valid. He's an ex IAS officer. I'd flex that too.

Why he hasn't started with the short stories yet? He's busy mocking the grammar taught to us in schools. I don't blame him.

He's a staunch feminist. Frequently mentions that housework isn't recognised enough and the world's been torturous to generations of women. A gal's gal we'll call him.

Mr. (or Dr.?) (Fuck if I know if he has a PhD.) Viplov (idk his last name)

professor of philosophy. he's a deceiving guy.

Seems really chill at first.

He is the type who'd feed you slow, sweet poison. And you'll buy his bullshit because he's very persuasive.

He said the Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta emphasizes on the caste system and hence, limits potential. Screw him for that honestly.

He says he teaches the Vedas and other spiritual texts to people so he's the one correctly interpretating it all? God help me-

Pretty sure an anti-theist. I will just sit back and stare unnervingly at him in all the lectures hence. Respect others' opinions even if they don't align with yours, that's basic decency. I don't argue or counter him because he has 40 marks of internals in his hands.

day 19/100 | 100 days of productivity✮⋆˙

27/05/2024 // had a viva today as part of my clinical specialisation and i was able to answer some questions but some of them completely slipped my mind because of the professor's style of asking the questions! it was unexpected but i am trying to not dwell on it too much because my end-of-semester exams begin the day after tomorrow.

— here is how i attempted productivity today :

completed the viva for my papers which are part of the clinical specialisation

applied for and received the clearance and no dues forms

studied about phenomenological methodologies

studied about narrative and thematic analyses

[aweirdbugcreature]

Finally finished my college moodboard 🥰🤗🙂

day 18/366

went to uni for class registration + had a ton of questions such as reconsideration for internship placement, requirements for medical examination, academic grant...

i was also supposed to get a government ID registered but found out when i got to the address they have on google that they moved locations but good thing there's a bookstore nearby so i went there to browse books and read some pages off of those that are already out the packaging for an hour or two because i was also stalling my going home as i bear heavy news that i didn't get reconsidered to be moved to the nearer hospital 🥲

really praying my academic grant would be released soon because last day of enrollment is at sunday and it's been on the works since november 😅 please pray for this hshsgs

i suppose this is all for the day aside from being fortunate to ride a nearly empty bus on the way to uni and a jeepney that dropped me off very near home, reducing the time i have to walk (usually i should cross to the other side of the road and walk for... ~5 minutes till i get home)

if there are any of u commuting 2-4 hours one way to work or school/uni, please do give tips how to survive and preserve energy, hahaha

1000+ Special

Hey everyone!

I wanted to give you a quick update. Since lectures have started, I'll be taking a short break from working on chapter one (only need to code it 🥹), just for a maximum of one week.

However, during this time, as a 1000+ special, I'll be sharing two side story snippets on Ko-fi and Patreon (I will share my page when the snippets are released). After a week, the snippets will be accessible here on Tumblr!

One of them explores Aurelian's POV as a child, meeting MC, while the other focuses on Kazou’s POV when he turned into a lycan and his encounter with MC.

If you're interested, both snippets will be uploaded either next week or by September at the latest. 💗

life update

hey y'all!

just wanted to put out a little life update: I'm currently in my sixth semester of college, and this is the term where I start writing my senior capstone, or my undergraduate thesis. it's a VERY LARGE research paper that is going to eat up my free time, but i'm actually excited to work on it! that being said, it will cut into my writing time, and i haven't been suuuuuuper inspired to write fic lately, so I will be probably mostly just reblogging/reacting to my dear and very talented friends' stuff :) however, i have been working on a few things that i'll be periodically posting 😈👀

anyway, thank you all so much for being here!!! it literally means the world to me and i'm so grateful you're here and reading my weird little fics and putting up with my ramblings lol

day 2 of classes & i am already feeling very … why did i do this

[starrysky28]

Officially got accepted into College today!! 🎉

[saeran-exe]

23.07.24

Today didn't go at all how I planned it yesterday but I do feel a little sick so that might be the reason why I was this slow lol

I was, however, able to study chemistry and finally finish Module 2 from Theme 2 (there are only 3 Modules in this Theme but each of them were a lot longer than I expected. Finishing Module 2 took me 3 or 4 hours total today, and I had already started it days ago. Module 3 is even longer 😭)

Well, I'm glad to have had a good quality study session. Although it wasn't very productive because I didn't advance much through the subject's content, I learned a lot and that knowledge earned a stable place in my forgetful brain.

Time to disconnect from academia for the day and focus on self-care! A nice warm shower and a few episodes of RunBTS and Vincenzo should do the trick lol.

found out I got a 95 on my linear algebra exam today, genuinely thought I was gonna get around a 70 and an 80 if I was lucky 🧍‍♂️ I fr BSed my way through the entire thing (started doing the notes for the entire unit the morning of the exam bc I’m insane and I want to see if my body can take it (Markiplier reference) anyway never doing that again 💀 (I in fact, probably will be doing that again))

j.t. | 24/10/23 transcription below: 

My mother’s love language is pointing out my flaws. The years between jammy sticky fingers and monthly phone bills were spent auditing the parts of myself that resembled her and hiding away the parts of myself that didn’t, placing pennies in a jar for every cutting word she said, scribing every brittle cadence and bitter splatter. I’m twenty-four now, counting my damage like it’s spare change and wondering what the fuck was I saving up for. I’m twenty-four now, excavating the parts of myself that I denied in response to her derision. Still her words search my body without warning and I can’t help but flinch in anticipation of old wounds bursting open, messily sewn stitches ripped out, tender wine-red bruises blooming beneath my pallid skin. Slowly, painfully, like rubbing alcohol on bloodied knees, she reaches in between my ribs to pull my trauma out and demand that I look at it, ugly and restless and writhing. 

Or did I do that? I’m twenty-four now, trying to distinguish her voice from mine and terrified that I no longer know the difference. This I know: I’ve inherited a lifetime of self-loathing. Still I wonder – am I a masochist for wondering if I'm a narcissist like you?
