#high school placement

[roseworth]

the crazy thing about ap testing is that they would give you essay questions like “was slavery good or bad” but we would be taught not to answer what you believe, but answer what you can best support from the documents you’re given. so you look at the documents and 9/10 of them are pro-slavery documents from the 1700s so millions of high schoolers have to write entire essays on why slavery was good

#(ap = advanced placement; they’re upper level classes in usamerican high schools #and everyone across the country that takes the class gets the same test on the same day)

"Guess Who?"

Curiously enough this came from 1985, the year of a reboot for the McDonalds advertising character. Maybe Jughead was in the running.

#requiem of the rose king #baraou no souretsu #my ocs #the placement of whos richard and who’s buckingham is symbolic #it actually may have been easier to draw it the other way around actually #I’ve had these ocs in my mind for a while now #but around when I got into rotrk I was like wait #r3 is a play that would’ve existed during their childhoods and it would’ve fit with their dynamic #I wanna doe more of these maybe I’ll do an utena one next #I know y’all ain’t really into my ocs but I like posting abt them #ok also lore #in high school they played Richard and buckingham in r3 #and like one of them chose to name herself after Anne #one of them is a chess player now😔 #she’s a self insert also based on Freddie trumper from chess #dammit do I have to tag that too #chess would also be another good reference pose artwork lmao #Anne is the chess player #clearing that up after looking at the grammar of the other tags

Related to my tags on the Irish American reblog, how long have bastardized "Celtic" crosses been neo-Nazi symbols? I wasn't aware of this stupid use until I was an adult and my father was equally unaware until I learned about it, and in our Celtic (American) Pride we often used Celtic cross imagery in decor and accessories. Granted these usually did resemble actually woven/knotted crosses (which by no means meant they were authentic. At best a few came from local Celtic Pride fests–which as I said in those tags was plagued by Confederate and Nazi imagery), but most of them came from like JoAnn's or Michael's or Walmart whenever Saint Paddy's Day rolled around. That said, the woven pattern of a Celtic cross is a bitch to draw especially when you have yet to nurture or be nurtured in any art skills, so when my borderline-Gothic ass would doodle graveyards in my school notebooks I would often doodle simplified Celtic crosses as grave markers, which unfortunately just meant a simple cross with a simple circle in it, unfortunately reminiscent of the neo-Nazi symbol.

Me and my family were staunchly Indiana liberals (to be fair that wasn't that shocking in our democrat enclave city) and have only become more leftist as time goes on, so those who knew me well would know I didn't mean anything by it, but like I have to wonder/worry that those who didn't know me well (like most of my classmates. I was pretty lonely in high school) or people who would briefly visit my home or come across us while we were wearing Celtic pins that day or something came away with the wrong impression. I'm especially dismayed at the thought that the kids I knew to be actual neo-Nazis might thought I was one of them

For the record I left school in like twenty eleven and had been doodling graveyards for years and wearing Celtic imagery for even longer. I can't really find out when the "Celtic" cross became a dogwhistle

#Celtic cross #Celtic Pride #tbh when going to those fairs it was under the pretense of being (mostly) Scottish #it was all a farce my dad leaned into because he was adopted by a Scots-Appalachian man with a Scottish name going back to an actual clan #BUT i was never supposed to know he wasn't my biological grandfather (even tho it was pretty damned obvious) #so my dad played heavily on Scottish pride #that said we had Irish ancestry from other branches of the family so we indulged in Irish pride and imagery too #plus we just felt the knotted crosses were pretty and cool looking #anyway i/my dad did end up having more Irish genetics than Scottish pending our DNA tests #the Scottish is there but the Irish is more. especially in me because my bio maternal grandfather was also Irish Appalachian #(i have some Ulster Scots too but less so. which is more surprising because it's more common for 'Irish' Appalachians to be Ulster instead) #somewhat-Gothic because i usually aligned with goths in personality and depression but rarely wore black #i usually wore boys graphic tees with stupid sayings and memes on them #at least until the obscenely stupid dress code went into affect (search my blog for that if you're interested lol it's a saga) #i was lumped in with the goths for lack of better placement anyway but arguably i was more boy scene #my high school didn't really have cliques or anything strictly categorical so like goths would hang with 'preps' and such anyway #but i did have more commonality with Goths and most of my few friends were #anyway I'm losing the thread #rambling in the tags

I miss jenna marbles so much 😭

#I miss my comfort youtubers … you all have such a special place in my heart #literally I could come home one day as a teenager in high school and indulge in youtube bc that’s my only form of escapism #rn I feel so empty. I would watch Abbott and then have to wait an entire week for a new ep #first day of placement was so tiring and reminded me so much of my old workplace and my old workplace traumatized me fr 😭 #the routine is so difficult to figure out and even uni’s support on it is so ass like wtf are you all doing 😭 #called my uni friend after and I’m so grateful for her she keeps me sane 😭 #idk everything seems so bleak now

I was wondering, what languages *do* you speak? (and for academic curiosity's sake - do you have any advice on holding more than two languages in your head at the same time without mixing them up?)

*cracks knucles* OK SO i speak swedish (native language 1), vietnamese (native language 2), finnish (born and raised in finland), english (went to international school), and french (studied for 10+ years)

Also sidestory i lowkey count german too because i understand german through english/swedish osmosis + living in germany for half a year as a kid + studying it in high school for a year despite it literally overlapping classes with my french classes but they were like damn this kid already known one million languages just let her do whatever 👍 so i went to the german lessons instead of french but still turned in the french homework etc for an entire year. also they mistook me for a native speaker in austria once. but i still don't speak german tho not really

For me since most of my languages i learned early in childhood, they're pretty much ingrained and separated enough to not mix up in every life.

I did sometimes mix up the languages in my head when i was simultaneously learning french and german (+ italian over that summer. and briefly russian also. i'm so normal i promise) and i basically just had to spend more time on one than the other so that they would be less even. Something like studying the main language every day and the side one only on weekends etc.

That's the only advice i can think of tbh. I think being exposed to so many languages since a young age my brain is just naturally able to juggle a bunch of them without too much confusion lol

#sorry i can't give language learning advice like a normal person dhsjfhsjdjs #for reference. i am currently staying in the netherlands for the summer. and i just Understand things. #before i even came here i was looking at housing adverts and i didn’t even realise when i was reading one in dutch instead of english #i have not taken a single lesson of dutch in my entire life #what else is there. oh yeah i understand spoken + written norwegian too. it comes free with the swedish subscription #russian also. took sporadic lessons of it in high school and last week i downloaded duolingo and the placement test made me skip 12 units #but now i'm learning it for real this time #sorry i don't mean to flex fhsjdjks languages are like. idk. my brain just absorbs them #let's not go into the amount of japanese and korean and chinese i understand just from watching dramas

i really really wish buildmart had been played so that lime could have been in dodgebolt tbh but i'm incredibly proud of how they did regardless, they were such a fun pov and they crushed it in pretty much all the games. jimmy did so incredibly well in rsr and hitw, they got 2nd in battle box with quig being 1st overall, the full team survived all the way until the end in round 3 of meltdown, scott and quig were both top 10 in ace race, pearl was a great runner in parkour tag and had some insane clutch moments in battle box that helped their team secure the win for certain rounds, quig got an ace on purple in battle box, and there's so much more i'm forgetting but yeah i'm glad that was my live pov and that they did so well + had so much fun overall ^_^

#b.txt #also them singing high school musical randomly in round 3 of rsr LOL #also desertduo being robbed of their buildmart is just. so unspeakably cruel i despise it #bm haters i am barbecuing you over hot coals rn /hj #i loved seeing the updates from aqua and purple from ppl that were watching them #also shoutout to orange for annihilating meltdown and parkour tag and to joel for snagging another top 15 placement woohoo #this was a really great mcc guys i had so much fun i really enjoyed it

Ok, I've actually got a To Do list for today that needs to get done

drink some of the tea I made, but keep forgetting to actually pour so I can have some caffeine this fine day

put away dishes and fill the dishwasher again (run it if it's full, otherwise just get the dirty dishes out of the sink) EDIT: found more pots that need to be hand-washed because they're too big for the dishwasher they're soaking now

give my paint brushes a deep scrub with the brush cleaner/restorer since the last few times I've washed them with just hand soap

take out the trash whenever the freezing rain stops

hydrate like nobody's business so I can donate plasma tomorrow

brush up on my gen ed knowledge for the placement test I'm taking tomorrow for college (also look into if testing out of classes gets me credits or not)

sketch out the Sky Sharks painting (paint some of it???)

packaged up the beef jerky I made yesterday

make patterns for plush fish for my mom's book launch

#I'm going into this placement test the exact same way I took the ACT back in high school #little to no prep the day before and just winging it instead of fretting excessively #although in high school I did it because I was literally told the day before the test that I was taking it so I had no time to prep

#vent tw #i love emails 👍👍👍👍 #I love emailing being like Hi Im Coming Into Your Place Of Buisness Next Week UHHHHH Can I Meet The Team #Yes I Should Have Done This Weeks Ago but have you considered sending emails makes me hyperventilate and cry? #also im not entirely sure i wont have panic attacks while on placement because STRESS #I have spent 3 hours Not Emailing them its so fun #and now its six so they wont even see it #and i wont even have proper disability supports because i am stupid and hate emails #AND im changing disability officer due to my old one leaving #and she was the autism specialist so god knows how good the new one will be (bad probably) #anyway if im dead for the next while its because Im working (which stresses me out) in my hometown (also stresses me to high heaven) #i keep imagining running into my childhood bully and like I wouldnt be able escape him because im working #Even seeing people from primary school who were nice (aka not actively nasty) to me makes me anxious #mmmmmm yea not a good time #but at least that one email has been sent #and I might even get paid (wahoo) #also when i snuffed out my candle there was a sizzle and now my fingers smell like cooking meat should i be concerned? #it didnt really hurt so im probably fine (from experince i know even minor burns hurt like a bitch)

rewatching the untamed and i forgot how funny it is that, in a show where half the plot hinges on magic musical instruments, not a single fucking actor actually knows how to play a musical instrument

#every single person playing a wind instrument looks like me in my high school orchestra #when i would fake playing because i didn’t want to be there #lan xichen plays magic music to get everyone to put their swords down and not a single finger placement corresponds with the notes we hear #athena talks #the untamed #cql
