#...so yeah

[kindafooey]

So hey, remember when I ventposted about the group project where I was the only one in the group who had any level of basic knowledge about media education, which is literally the master's degree these studies are part of? Yeah, well. It turned out to be a Whole Thing. The basic gist of it is that due to a change in legislation that redefined the terms of qualification in preschool education a couple of years ago, kindergarten nurses with a trade school-level degree as their only educational background are no longer qualified for certain pedagogy-related job positions, which has affected their pay and terms of employment significantly. So now a lot of them are trying to achieve the required qualifications by taking masters-level courses as so-called bridge studies, and I mean...

Like, it's not their fault. You can't expect people with a trade school background to have the skills needed for academic studies. The point here is that out of the three other people in my group, two of them are so completely out of of their field that normally they wouldn't even be able to apply. However. More students means more funding for our small, financially struggling university. So what they've decided to do is they've lowered the standards significantly. The profs have been pressured to simplify the contents and themes of their classes to help the people without academic background to keep up. And the results so far have been lectures that suck shit, and research-driven studies (that is to say literally the core of university as an institution) have been replaced with group projects that are basically like some kind of bizarre office job simulations and have jack shit to do with academia.

*draws a deep breath*

So yeah. This sure has been a learning experience, and by that I mean learning how deeply fucked the faculty of educational sciences is as it stands. Don't know if it's this bad nationally, but it sure as hell is bad here. Kinda want to do a whole, like, investigative podcast on this now. Or something.

Anywayyy yeah in case anyone was wondering how the group project is coming along. Well, it's coming along all right. I'm doing like 85% of the work but like, I'm literally acting as a media educator, so I guess the shoe fits? 😅 I don't mind tbh. I mean, I got to make a Goncharov podcast as my own contribution to the project, so like. Hell yeah man.

#the main issue is that only one person in my group aside from myself is actually motivated to study these things #the other two have an Attitude(TM) on top of their incompetence and. yeah #on certain occadions I've thanked the stars for not being in the same physical space with them #because I would've probably punched one of them in the face several times by now #like she keeps questioning the importance of like. understanding disinformation. which is LITERALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING #that you can teach to a kid or adult of any age. and in the face of these absolute loads of horseshit that she calls her opinions #my inner chuck mcgill takes hold #the science is sacred you piece of shit antivaxxer #if you don't understand why kids need to learn about disinformation then I'm sorry honey but you're waaay in the wrong field of study #...so yeah #rant over #I hope #chances are I'll continue ranting inside my own head

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now #there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??' #and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies #aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you #so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager #the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience

its baffling seeing people on here being all shocked about how other ppl didnt have sex or do drugs or drink or go to parties etc etc in high schools like. sorry i was too busy getting bullied to do all of that stuff i guess. why are you surprised that there’s losers on the cringe loser website

#like yeah i WISHED i could do that sort of stuff #but i felt so completely isolated from everyone else at my school bc ppl were so nasty to me #its fine cos im doing all the stuff i missed out on now that im in university #but some ppl dont even get that chance #maybe its not that serious but. idk. just dont be a dick #but also ppl who didnt do that stuff acting like theyre better than ppl who did is fucking annoying and also a dick move. btw #📼

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

#this post is edited because you're all annoying. maybe I'll turn it back someday #it sucks that people can't even be normal about a funny family story once the fact that we're greek comes into the fold #suddenly its all about blorbofied mythology shit and idiots saying ''GREECE IS REAL???? 🤯🤯🤯🤯'' yeah percy j*ckson didnt make it up #maybe it would be less annoying if they weren't all saying it like I'd think it's funny that they don't know we exist instead of like #disturbing on a personal level. like what the fuck #man if you can't acknowledge we exist in real life just name your oc Icarus something else idgaf #so yeah explode. Skase. Voulos'to. Valto mesa sto katamalakismeno mouni tis mana's sou. Psophise. etc.

One of my favourite mundane weirdnesses about Edinburgh is that we set the big clock visible approaching the station to be 3 minutes fast to make sure people are on time for their trains. My Favourite mundane weirdness of Edinburgh is that we check this by firing a cannon.

#im so used to it that genuinely hand on heart sudden loud bangs just make me hungry now #everyone that lives here is like. yeah lunchtime cannon thats normal. everyone who doesnt is so bewildered by it. i love it.

i hope that sometimes fifteen's psychic paper shorts out and shows what fourteen's thinking back on earth. he tries to sneak in somewhere and the guard's like this just says 'need to pick up cat food'? and fifteen's like 🥺 they got a cat

#doctor who #the doctor #fifteen #he shows up at the noble house next day with a bunch of cat toys and 14 explains that he was just picking up food for next door #and 15's like ah. well. the thing is. i thought if you only had one cat they'd be lonely so. and pulls out a kitten #rose after 15 leaves: is this an alien cat #14: 100% yeah. don't tell donna that bit
