I haven't updated in awhile! I'm sorry! I've been SUPER busy! 😉 But there is a cat lying on my feet now so I'd argue that's a pretty good excuse not to do homework at this moment... So yeah. It's been pretty wild. LOTS of good things, some bad things. There was one week where I pulled TWO all nighters! I've never officially pulled an all nighter before! It made me feel really strong; I've always hated myself for being so weak. I had one week of PERFECT attendance! I haven't had one in... I don't even KNOW how long! A semester? A year? Three years??? I'm not even exaggerating!!! In the past two weeks I only missed one class and was late to another. I kinda feel miserable for messing up my attendance, but it's still a record. Just one absence in two weeks! I think I'm going to split these posts in order to make my blog more active... So more updates later, hopefully!
Hey guys!!!!!! So i know i complained about that greek quiz i had. Well when i took it last year it was almost impossible to memorize anything. My teacher told me i did the best in the class! Omg!!! I still need more practice though because it's so complicated
LOL JUST KIDDINGGGGGGGG I FORGOT I HAD TO MEMORIZE... UHM... HOW MANY ENDINGS FOR MY GREEK QUIZ TODAY????? WELL LET'S SEE UH.......... THERE'S 6 ENDINGS PER FORM IND - 12 IMP - 12 FUT - 18 AOR - 18 36 + 24 = 50 ENDINGS WOW AND IM PRETTY FUCKING CONVINCED THAT IM DYSLEXIC IN GREEK BECAUSE ITS NEARLY FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO MEMORIZE /ANYTHING/ IN THIS SHIT LANGUAGE BUT NOPE I /NEED/ IT FOR GRAD SCHOOL EVEN THOUGH I ONLY WANT TO DO LATIN FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE HAHAHAHAHA
this probably sounds silly, but... i /pretty much/ finished all my homework for tomorrow/today. which is great! i did the thing! ... but, i was supposed to read these four plays awhile ago and my professor asked me about them and i kinda dissociated the fuck out. i mean ive read them in the past but mostly forgot about them and just... i REALLY need to read them again but i need to sleep in less than an hour??? like i can't read them all in that time span and just... anxiety i'd ask for luck, but by the time you guys see this it'll be too late to ask lol
BAD GRADES DO NOT MEAN YOU DIDN’T TRY. BAD GRADES DO NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE A FAILURE. BAD GRADES DO NOT MEAN YOU ARE STUPID. ALL BAD GRADES ARE ARE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN. TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY. DO GREAT. I BELIEVE IN YOU.
I know a lot of you guys look up to me and other studyblrs for motivation and you often associate that motivation with perfect grades. I can’t speak for all studyblrs, but let me tell you that we’ve all gotten bad grades. Every single one of us. One perfect example: I hate math. And as of today, I have a C in Pre-Calculus. a C. AND I WORKED MY ASS OFF FOR THAT C. I STUDIED DAY AND NIGHT FOR THAT C. AND I’M PROUD OF THAT C.
YOU ARE NOT STUPID. YOU’RE JUST WORK IN PROGRESS. BE PROUD, OWN UP TO IT, AND USE IT TO DO BETTER.
gotta fill up that queue! so yeah... went to class thursday! forced myself to go to class friday! i usually can't do that. i made it through four classes, and then i had a breakdown. my professor let me go home. to make up for missing class, i made this pretty rad review sheet. i wanna share it with you guys at some point. it's so cheesy but i love it!
I really need to get off birth control because im tired of being so angry that i genuinely want to commit homicide Oh well fuck pmdd right let me be SUICIDAL instead of homicidal 3 weeks out of the month and let me have periods that are incapacitating too
So. Shit day. Didn't go to class. To punish myself for being such a shit, I was going to cut myself instead of doing homework. But i did my calc homework. It was surprisingly quick and easy and I felt really good about myself afterwards. Even feel like I had some realizations about some stuff that was really confusing before.
i was looking for materials for a paper i need to write and i came across this
seems legit
i’m very busy, but being that the queue is so close to empty...
... yeah. bad weekend, as you can tell. not to be negative, but i seem to have more bad days than good. it makes it very hard to get through school.
but! i got a “new” alarm clock! and i think it has potential!
i say “new” cuz it’s some used alarm clock from the 90s or early 2000s lol. but it has that nostalgia feel.
why do i like it so much???
today was the first morning i could use it for class. the alarm is too quiet, but the radio is LOUD, so i use the radio as my alarm. once i stopped hitting snooze, i just let the radio keep going. it was interesting.
i have a lot of trouble most mornings. it might seem silly, but basic tasks like getting dressed or brushing my hair can become so overwhelming that i have a breakdown. and then i miss class.
but the radio just kept me going somehow. it was interesting, so it kept me awake. i feel like it distracted me enough from the stress of the morning that it prevented me from being too overwhelmed. and when i heard bad news on the radio, i could direct my anger at the news, instead of at myself.
i don’t really hear about mornings being overwhelming for people, at least not to the extent that i experience. but if anyone’s just been too overwhelmed by their mornings - i recommend trying a radio! since it’s not a tv you can’t get distracted by the screen, so you can just keep getting ready while listening! and maybe i’d recommend the news as opposed to music, because with the news you’re getting new, unexpected information, and it forces you to focus and be alert.
Corrections can be really helpful to people learning something new like a second language- or basically anything else.
Here’s the thing, though, if you’re rude, insulting, impatient or cruel when correcting someone, it’s actually exceedingly unhelpful and just makes them feel shitty about themselves.
If you just can’t manage being kind or even just polite when correcting someone, leave them be and let someone else do it instead.
saw my doctor today… long story short… my mood disorders might have been misdiagnoses. it might have just been severe adhd all along, and all my antidepressants and antipsychotics were just making me depressed.
i did tell my doctor about my rage, but there are a lot of factors in my life that could be causing it, and not necessarily mood disorder.
it’s still too early to tell, but this might be the beginning of the end. <3

got a decent amount done today. FINALLY did some laundry. i just came back to campus yesterday; last time i was here i didn’t do my laundry in two or three weeks because i was so depressed. i actually brushed my teeth today, which is usually an issue for me. i cleaned my cat’s litter box, and i put out clothes for tomorrow. i haven’t put my clothes back in the drawer since i’m going to meditate in about six minutes, and i’m going to bed after that. maybe i’ll do it tomorrow. i can never guarantee anything, because my mental health is so unpredictable.
I’ve been working on a general plan for the semester in Google Calendar for hours now. It’s so detailed that it won’t even show the whole thing in print mode Dx I was going to show you guys, but since I can’t get my whole plan saved at the moment, I’ll just wait until I’m actually finished, and then I’ll figure out how to save it and show you guys.
