i should literally be in the arms of a handsome butch right now and feeling their strong hands groping and exploring every single fold on my soft body while i kiss them sweetly and giggle every time they pinch me but instead i am forced to brave through The Horrors

#the horrors being a messy room an executive dysfunction #and having to write my personal statement for grad school #and having to look for a job #and having to memorize lines for a play #brown eyes and constant yapping #femme4butch #sapphic #wlw #sapphic yearning #butchfemme vision board #butchfemme #butch bait #butch4femme

#I am so curious about this one #A lot of people I know think of college or even grad school as this Edenic paradise from which they were cast out into the work force #Not one job I’ve had has been as stressful for me as taking classes was #I don’t know if I’ve been lucky or if I’ve matured or if college is just nuts #Then again if they’d paid me to be a student who knows how I’d feel

Applied for my first Big Girl job after five years of grinding at this PhD (the end is in sight!!), and guess what folks— my degree actually supplied me with skills relevant to the job posting. My skills are needed. There’s a place out there for me. The utter shock of it all!!

#it’s really easy to get stuck in your own head thinking five years of school amounted to nothing useful #especially when academic jobs are so few and far between and you watch super talented scientists on their fourth post doc #but you know what girlies I’m an anatomist and I have MARKETABLE SKILLS 😭 #grad school #biology #personal

I'm in need of advice, reddit hasn't been helpful and I'm desperate so I've come to you Tumblr please help me

I'm currently a data scientist for a very small start up company, but I have my background in political science and so I'm concerned that I might be dead in the water if/when the company goes under and I need to find another job. I've consulted with some recruiters and they agree that if I want to go into data science I should get my master's (EDIT: they said I probably should get my degree in Statistics because the program is more widely known so I have a better chance of not getting turned away by HR who will have less knowledge about what a data science master's even is). I think because of my personality, data science is a really good job for me, so I'm planning on going for it.

Here's the issue: I don't want to go to school and end up learning exclusively theory. I've been teaching myself a ton by reading textbooks and I've noticed that while there's a lot of depth in the math/calculus/linear algebra behind how the functions work and what the parameters are, there seems to be very little information on how to actually apply that information in the real world.

Obviously the math is important and very exciting :D but if all I do is learn the math and I don't learn how to apply the knowledge I have to non-ideal data sets and situations then I'm not really learning the information I need to know.

Are there any graduate programs that are well known for really preparing people for data science roles in the workforce instead of just focusing on the academic side of statistics?

#statistics #data science #math #careers #jobs #grad school #what is the community tag for this idk #;---; #i have to sign up for classes for prerequisites right now so im nervous bc idk which classes to take if idk which schools i should apply to #reddit has not helped me </3

Constant need to throw Hornblower into math academia and discover new flavors of how unwell he can get

#the 19th c royal navy/21st c academia parallels are real #he belongs in math academia and also it would make him completely deranged #like consider. sawyer as toxic advisor trying to ice out his grad students #hornblower not having patronage (not coming from an illustrious enough academic pedigree <- happened to a guy i know) #eventually he gets a good job somewhere because he's ridiculously smart and just had bad luck (unrealistic but like the books) #except he can't be happy about it because he has so many years of built-in impostor syndrome and general rat-race toxicity #the worst thing is that he'd care about this so so much more than he did about his naval career and i think it would break him #perce rambles #hornblower #also i need to send him to my undergrad. he belongs there and also it would be guaranteed to make him worse #school where no one understands the concept of self care and everyone is unbelievably neurodivergent #also all of the pure math people are exactly like him (affectionate/deeply concerned)

I saw someone say Between Us is not a plot based show - it’s character based. And yes, 1000%

But more than that, it’s not a plot based show it’s a character driven behind the scenes look at Win and Team from UWMA. These two stories are interconnected (obviously) in a way that makes the plot exist heavily in UWMA and (for WinTeam) the character driven story and growth occur in Between Us.

UWMA is happening in the background, but Win and Team exist outside of that story and Between Us is that existence; that secondary space.

Their love story is (in some ways) messier than Pharm and Dean because fate isn’t involved - Win and Team have no deep previous connection. They hooked up on a swim trip and the next thing they knew Team had a safe place and Win had found the first person who was reluctant to take what he’d give AND willing to give in return.

Between Us is like the best of the fanfic world. It’s taking two beloved characters and giving them life behind the camera, in the spaces we haven’t really seen before. It doesn’t need the corny troupes or the redundant plot points that always exist in dramas (though it has some) because the world these characters live in has already done that.

#between us #between us the series #winteam #uwma team #teamwin #bounprem #Hemp Rope #more morning rambles #I AM great at my job huh? oh adulthood…and I thought grad school was the worst #well at least less is expected of me now I suppose 🙃

I'm in a reference class right now and I just get so irrationally angry about the requirements.

Like, obviously, the purpose of the class is to make sure all the theoretically-future (or sometimes current) librarians know how to actually look things up AND verify sources AND in a wide variety of subjects and topics. Yes, good, valuable, important.

BUT I hate it so much. I hate questions that sound like they came from an alien whose best human impression comes from old chatbots: "Who is Zora Neale Hurston? What is she known for? Does Sparkle Library have any of her books?" why are you asking the first two questions if you clearly know them enough to ask the third "What's this geologic feature I saw in town? What's its history? Where is it?" can I point you to Google Maps please "What is the meaning of the word fandom?" why am I required to find you four verified resources on a dictionary definition "Can you help me find articles about this topic" yes but our professor hasn't actually given us examples of how they'd 'verify' articles so IDK if this will work even though it's literally exactly how I'd do this in my actual library job where I provide reference services to college students.

#maybe it's that the prof wants things formatted in what feels like an unnatural way to me #like sorry if I cite Best Ref Websites 2003 to someone IRL I think that'd sound Dubious even if the site is still good 21 yrs later y'know? #I don't even know if I think there's a better way to teach this--I just hate the formality of it all #it feels so unnatural even though it's a valuable skill/knowledge #I'm currently signed up for the advanced reference class next and I think I'm gonna get my advisor to change my plan #because I will explode with another semester of this #library school #grad school #I am trying very hard not to assume I know things just because I already provide reference services #(especially since my job usually keeps to a fairly narrow type of reference) #but it's difficult when it feels like the alternative is 'Reference Provided by Exactly Zero Real Life People Ever'

If accommodations no longer help you, I'm curious at what point they stopped being helpful.

#bc for me: once u get to the graduate level its like sink or swim bitch #u have to fucking read and nothing is gonna make it easier so fucking read or find a different job #i dont kno how u accomodate a grad student. like u have things that have to happen. u cant just let someone not do their job they got hired #to do. so like u just select for ppl who arent extremely disabled bc i just dont think u could do it otherwise #u would b too bad at ur job. every prof i say im dyslexic to is like: oh! r u registered with the disability office? #and im like no. wtf would they even do for me. im sure i could get lots of accommodation stuff but functionally i just have to suck it up #and work harder. but im also fucked up about having a learning disability so like maybe im just being difficult #idk. most ppl dont wanna do jobs that they weren't designed for and cause them so much pain. but like i said. im sorta fucked up #learning disability #dyslexia #dyscalculia #adhd #dyspraxia #dysgraphia #poll #polls #unrelated
