#grad school yays

[who-is-page]

I got an invite to an honor's society for my college and found out I have a 4.0 GPA for my 2nd Bachelor's degree so far and I am absolutely fucking preening. I've only been back in school for just a few months shy of a year so it's not the biggest achievement ever, but I'm really proud of myself for managing that on top of a full-time job and all my projects.

#personal #Yay! #I graduated with a 3.25 from my first college but I've been told that grad schools will usually focus mainly on the GPA of the major you're #applying to them for... and my Religious Studies classes GPA was 3.73 which is like maybe not perfect but it's DECENT. #Especially since I was homeless THE ENTIRE TIME. #So if I can polish this degree off in the next two years with a GPA higher than 3.25 I will consider myself good! #Because I can show them the high RS GPA and also the high new-degree GPA.

I just played the third mvt of Saint-Saens’ Piano Concerto No. 2 at a competition and my friend recorded it for me and DANGGGG I have actually never been prouder of my own playing😭 Normally I hate listening to recordings of myself but I managed to get everything across in this performance that I’ve been striving for, and it turned out to be such an exciting rendition — I’ve never been more delighted with my progress!!

#this is a draft from mid-November #but I thought I’d share something positive #yay #piano #music school #grad school

honestly losing it

#there were like three things today i could put after this but this sums it up #originally about how me and my sibling might both be immigranting to the same city for grad school #which I found out cos luckily we were trapped in a car and could catch up for three hours yay #also had to go to like 8 stores to find a box of atole packets 😭 #and now I want to journal for like 8 hours and Think #personalig

guys i think i wanna be a professor …. first of all that’s so sexy plus it just fits like multiple older people in my life have told me unprompted that they could see me as one and i agree <3 i never considered it bc i wasn’t sure i wanted to continue with academia at all but now i’m really comfortable within in (and want to do my part in fixing the parts that i hate) and would loveeee to continue on and teach others

#i also never considered it bc i knew i didn’t wanna teach like public school #not bc of teaching but just bc there wasn’t a subject i liked enough to want to devote to teaching it #but i love mas and gws so much like i would literally love to pass it on and continue my own research so much #i have so many ideas about my teaching style and grading and everything already #me and my friend who’s studying to be a teacher are always talking about it #and i do a lot of examination of my own professors styles and what i like/don’t like #and it’s all just so interesting and exciting to me <3 yay #i feel like i belong in grad school being a ta rn like let me innnnnnnn

i am physically and emotionally drained and do not wanna do a week-long workshop on excel next week when i could have had a two-week-long vacation instead of what will now be a one-week-long vacation, but i get the joy of knowing that i am making organized and productive life choices, so that's!!!!! something!!!!!

#musings #i am sure it will be bearable! #at the very least i can use the week to get all my ducks in a row #clean my room and finish grad school apps and think about september plans and stuff #so it'll be a Busy Week and then a Melt Into Floor Week :) #which actually does sound kinda nice now that i am thinking about it #no homework for two weeks YAY

me checking my ao3 stats and seeing my 2022 word count is less than a third of what my 2021 word count was 

#:( #this is hitting pre 2019 vibes #i'm sorry grad school was hard #having a full time job is also hard #but i finished a chapter of twf tonight? yay?? #idk i'm in a weird space rn #áine for ts

[leadmeastraylittlefairy]

i passed my masters thesis defense 🤪

#catch me never being in school again #fuck that shit #if you’re considering grad school i would strongly recommend that you don’t hahaha #unless you’re CERTAIN it’s necessary for the job you’re CERTAIN you want #otherwise god it’s so expensive #and will do nothing for you #i’m salty about school can you tell #anyways yay now i get the new cr episode tonight as a treat

vent time

#ive been rlly depressed 4 a long time #nd i dont know what to do w myself or my life #like i had the doctor plan but i rlly cant bring myself to give a shit about anything #nd i know that i could just drag my feet thru school and get in cuz school is easy as fuck #but i just. dont care #about anything #except substance abuse #and sleeping a lot #and ive been living here for 2 years and have 0 friends #ive maybe had 4 social interactions total #that werent talking to someone at work or going to the store #and i rlly just spend all time alone i dont talk to anyone or see anyone cuz its too scary and exhausting #when i have tried to hang out w people those few times it sucked so bad #and the ppl were all cool im just. i cant do that #idk it rlly just feels like i have to not go broke and kill myself until i finish undergrad and grad school #and then i wont be poor yay #but that could be 10 yrs from now #idk where to find enthusiasm for anything #theres shit i find cool and interesting and worthwhile but never for very long #drugs cw #its mental illness innit #i keep hoping if i run away things will get better #i moved across the country got a place moved got a job quit thay job moved again and now i wanna quit my job again #but it never changes anything #bc my mood has little to do with my circumstsnces at this point #im just depressed cuz its easier to be depressed than anything else #and im lucky that i can keep getting away with it #and smart enoguh to do substance abuse while also being a straight A full time student and working a hard demanding job full time #but i also dnt rlly have a choice

I am really stressed at work so I started a new show on a whim to relax.

It was not relaxing.

#severance #i love grad school #basically Finance put our accounts in jeopardy and we may or may not lose $11000 #and if we lose it the Federal Government will be mega pissed at us. Yay! #We will see if they can fix it Monday but if not Very Bad Things will happen #so I started watching Severance which turns out is a psychological horror about work #lmfao

[gotyouanyway]

i’ve bounced back from everything i’ve fully recovered i’m unstoppable now etc

#this is kind of a joke i still don’t feel like socializing but i just spent like at least 4 hours at work researching grad schools #like PROPERLY and taking notes and seeking info not just fucking around #and i changed my mind about my first choice! so! yay! #p

song might have a tinsy tiny (massive) crush on a man

#song rambles #he’s a math major :] #he’s also older than me #and he’s really funny and nerdy and talks with me about all sorts of random things #but i have no clue if that’s just him being friendly or he also liking me because i have NO IDEA HOW THIS STUFF WORKS HELP #anyway :))) big developments this doesn’t happen much #but i get all blushy and my heart does the butterflies around him #i like genuinely like him but i only see him during one activity #and he’s graduating so sad but also he’s going to grad school nearby (to get a phd holy shit) so yay? #idk how to approach this man

All I wanna do is go home, hop into my sweats, and spend the rest of the evening playing WoW. I have one more full day of work tomorrow, then I’m officially on vacation for a little over a week.

I wanna get my +15 keys in. I wanna hit that 2500 rating. Maybe find a group for heroic Amirdrassil. Just fun things I haven’t had time or motivation to do for a long, long time. M+ is probably my favorite addition to the game that I wish I hadn’t missed out on for a few expansions.

#world of warcraft #wow #horde #yay mythic keys #aotc before grad school pls

[transshion]

i love to send a email confirming something or even replying to something. but sending an email to ask for something makes me want to sob and vomit everywhere

#i am applying to GRAD SCHOOL YAY!!

Profs are officially on strike. I’m really having shitty luck with school apparently

#drop out of high school bc of depression #get my diploma in night school but miss the college app deadline #take a year off then get into college #but oh no there’s a pandemic that fucked over my last two months of colllege #get into uni though! but wait there’s a pandemic so everything is online for the foreseeable #oh also you can’t have a college grad bc COVID #uni decides that the pandemic is over enough for students to return to campus… kinda #basically it’s teach yourself online but come to class to do practicals #and then yay! everything is back in person! except you have to take math and math fucking hates your guts #and then I get fed up switch majors and then the uni says to the profs #fuck you we’re not gonna pay you a living wage #and the profs (rightfully) say ‘well I guess we’re gonna have to strike 🤷‍♀️’ #and we’re now in the present and I can conclude that I have not had one single normal or easy year of schooling in over a decade #penguinsomething #personal
