my major is translation&interpreting, which implies i must have a perfect command of foreign languages. and also, we have several subjects dedicated to different aspects. now, for instance, i’m studying the U.S. security system 💁🏼‍♀️

I'm trying to become a teacher because as someone with super severe ADHD I've encountered so many ableist teachers who try to 'logic' away all my problems with neurotypical solutions and refuse to comprehend that neurotypical solutions don't work for neurodivergent brains. And it is so frustrating because the very professors who are teaching how to alter teaching and assessment strategies to fit the needs of every individual student are sitting here refusing to follow the instructions from the accommodations center, and giving me neurotypical solutions and saying I'm not working hard enough when I come to them with struggles caused by them not following my accommodation plan, when I've already been working 10x harder than I should need to be and would need to be if they'd actually practice what they preach!

Like I'm sorry that printing off a physical copy of the assignment takes you five minutes, but the assignment doesn't exist to my brain unless it's on paper in front of me, and I can't print it off myself because it doesn't exist, and telling me that printing it off myself is easy doesn't help, because even if I did magically manage to remember that it exists, it is then a like 50 step process to do so, and I only have 25 spoons today and they have all been used by this conversation! And I'm sorry that I misunderstood this assignment, telling me that I'm lucky the Education program is so accommodating to let me re-do the assignment does not help when you refuse to understand why your instructions were misunderstood or to even attempt to re-explain the assignment in a way that actually makes sense!

I'm sorry that my executive disfunction makes it so physical processes take 10x more work for me than they do for you, and that because my brain is so hyperactive mental processes take 1/10th of the steps that you expect me to take, and that resultingly any 'show your work' assignments are lacking because I did show all my work and I don't have the spoons to discover and then show the steps you didn't tell me I needed and I instinctively 'skipped over' because they're non-existent in my brain!

But telling me to "just turn off that part of your brain" does NOT help in any way whatsoever, and you as an education professor should know this because this is literally a significant portion of what you are teaching!!!

And I realize that life is hard for everyone, but there's a difference between fighting a big boss in a video game and fighting the same big boss on hard mode when you didn't get to choose the dificulty setting and you don't know how to play because someone changed the tutorial language to Phoenician!

Big celebratory shoutout to disabled/mentally/chronically ill school dropouts. You’re brilliant. You’re a hero. Don’t be ashamed. In fact, be proud. Be proud that you were…

…perceptive enough to see the situation for what it was…

…smart enough to know what you needed to do…

…strong enough to defy expectations…

…brave enough to forage your own path…

…and don’t let anyone convince you that their degree makes them smarter than you. or better than you. or more successful than you. or harder working than you. or more deserving than you. All it means is that they had better support systems. better resources. adequate accommodations. All it means is that you both had goals and plans and dreams, but the world let you down while it was seeing them though. All it means is that our society is deeply lacking both systemic and systematic equitability. And that is something to be angry or upset about, absolutely, but not ashamed of.

Working on an analysis and my brain has somehow forgotten what that is, and I'm worried it doesn't sound good 😭🫠

I finished my exams 🎉

On the 12/05/2022 I took my last exam ever, it was Advanced Organic Chemistry. I still have to realise that I am free from studying!

Now I'll start the master's thesis. On Tuesday I should start the training in the lab, I hope to be independent fast. The sooner I do my analysis the sooner I can graduate and, who knows, maybe apply for a PhD! 👩🏻‍🎓

Last week I went to a Polymers Conference, 5 days long. It has been inspiring, I've met young researchers/PhDs and talked about how it works where they are from. Honestly, I have a positive energy since I got back! I just want to do things and work in the lab 💪🏻

Hi there!

so I’ve been in a little bit of a downward spiral recently, and I’m so burnt out academically, creatively, and socially that it’s been difficult to keep up with my university workload. I’m also really burnt out from social media, and decided that tumblr seemed like a good place I could share my thoughts and writing; maybe even give other people who are feeling a similar way something to relate to! some facts about me:

I’m an 18 year old lesbian who is currently attending university in the UK, but have lived in California my whole life. I’m studying English Lit and History of Art, and really love both reading and writing. Podcasts and audiobooks are how I’ve been coping with feeling down, and I try and romanticize my life by walking into the city centre and having a coffee, reading a book, etc. I collect CDs, drink far too much wine, and am going to do my best to push through the last few months of school the best I can!!

stay tuned xxx

“about me” post

age: 20

major: translation & interpreting

foreign languages: english, korean

current course: 3

current location: Suwon, Korea (as an exchange student for 1 semester)

current classes in Korea:

Debate

-> English language classes, where we discuss issues and improve critical thinking skills. The key thing is to learn how to debate and present our ideas as well as arguments to support opinions.

Topic discussion

-> Another English language class which is similar to the previous one. However, here we just share our own opinions on the given matter without debating.

교양한국어 / Korean language

-> Classes of Korean language in a group of other exchange students. We cover all the aspects of language learning: lexis, grammar, reading, listening, writing. The level is 3급.

SNS

-> Here we are creating our personal brand and presenting it via social media platforms. Discussing methods for visualising our ideas, and actually do it.

I've got this. I'm so close to finishing this assignment. I can even take Wednesday off completely because I'm on top of things. I believe it'll be fine. It's okay. And it doesn't even have to be perfect! It's okay. It doesn't have to be perfect. I just have to meet the minimum criteria. I just have to make the 10 pages.

Why is it so hard to get a first credit card?!

Like I have applied for probably a dozen different ones that all claim to be starter credit cards for students, but every single time I get the response that they can't approve me because I have no credit history. Which is exactly why I'm applying for a $500 credit card that I have no intention of ever using except at places that don't accept cash or debit! Because I NEED to build some form of credit history so that I can do things like be the person with my name on the utilities bill, and hopefully eventually get a house! But I keep being denied for all these starter credit cards that the only qualification questions they asked me are 'are you a full time student' and 'do you pay rent' to which my answer is - and has been for the last 4y tht I've been applying for these - yes to both!

everyone tells me not to procrastinate my assignments but i swear i'm always getting 90-100% on the ones I procrastinate and like 80% on the ones I don't so motivating myself NOT to procrastinate is very difficult

#if i do better when procrastinating why wouldn't i keep doing it? #university struggles #honestly its so weird seeing myself get perfect on an assignment i spent an hour on then seeing myself get 80 on one i put my heart into #idk school is weird #procrastination

Recently I've been struggling with finding a subject to work on for my thesis, and I talked to my best friend about it to clear my mind and she was baffled. She couldn't understand how a person who has as many interests and hobbies as I do, can't find a single one topic to explore with an academic lense. And that was my turn to be baffled, it never occurred to me until that moment that I am a person with this many interest, and what baffled me even more was discovering that it is not that I don't have a topic, it is that I have so many that I don't really know how to make a choice and stuck with it...

Have you ever found yourself in the same situation?
