Life Update

2 min read
So it's been almost another year since my last entry; I seem to have a bad habit of doing that, lol.

Honestly, 2019 was kind of a haze. I ended up having to repeat a class because of that Spring Break BS, which was a major blow to my confidence. I did eventually graduate, but it was a full semester later than planned because of course the class I needed had the class I'd failed as a prerequisite. My diploma arrived in the mail a few days ago and it's framed on my bedroom wall now.

I've still been drawing, and still mostly been uploading it on Tumblr when I bother to upload at all. Most of it's memes and goofs, but I also did Inktober in both 2018 and 2019, with plans to do it again this year as well.

In the meantime, I've got a con coming up very soon where I'm hoping to meet some cool people. I'm also trying to get back into the work force so I can finally move out of my small, nowhere town. Fingers crossed that I find something soon.

Other than that, not much has been going on. Life kind of stagnated for a while and it's time to stir things up again.

Honestly, this semester has been kicking my ass. Both my professors are horrible for different reasons.

I have one who is clearly flexing her power over her students. It's a 10am class and she locks the door to the lab at 10:00:01 (everyone has skipped class at least once because of traffic, couldn't find parking in time, etc), she's crammed what could easily be two or three courses worth of information into her lesson plans, marks points off of tests for stupid things (ex: I wrote "needles". She wanted "pins". She used both terms interchangeably in lecture), etc. But on top of that, she usually doesn't unlock the door until 5-10 minutes before class, never ties her hair back in the lab (which anyone who's been within 100ft of even a MIDDLE SCHOOL lab knows to do), recycled 90% of her syllabus with minimal editing for the current class (ALL of her figure numbers are for the previous edition of the textbook!), frequently changes the schedule, and has passive-aggressive notes from other staff calling her out taped to the inside of the lab materials door. She's a flaky mess, and while I actually enjoy the class, I hate dealing with her.

My other one has minimal involvement with the class, even for a distance learning course. I've essentially been teaching MYSELF the material through instructional videos on the "textbook" website. She also assigned due dates DURING spring break, blindsiding many of us who assumed we had that time off, because it was a BREAK. And the week we were supposed to have off for break? She's trying to "give" it to us at the end of the semester. By which she means she wants all of our coursework a week before the end of term. So anybody who was blindsided by spring break is now shortchanged TWO weeks of trying to catch up. And unfortunately, I have this professor again next semester because she's the only one who teaches the last class I need to graduate. 

I'm not sure the $0.50-$2.00 extra that an associate's degree will get me is worth the headache of trying to complete my associate's. If I wasn't set to graduate at the end of next semester, I'd probably drop out. :P

I just disappeared for about a year, lmao. I've still been drawing and lurking, I just haven't been uploading here; it's pretty much all on Tumblr, if it got uploaded at all. One of these days I'll have to get around to just posting everything and being done with it.

I actually did and completed Inktober this year, so there's at least those to look forward too. There's also been a few miscellaneous doodles and drawings here and there.

Beyond that, school's still going well. I only have a semester or two left, depending on what classes are available, so I'm looking forward to being done. Might pick up a part time job next semester if I can swing it.

Life plods on, my dudes.

I've got about 10 days left until the end of the semester, and I've still got around 20 assignments to do, plus finals. My sleep schedule is all kinds of janky and my mom commented that I appear to have lost weight (likely due to stress, because I've been about as active as a narcoleptic sloth lately). I'm so glad that I've got a long break between semesters this time, because I really need it. I also get to go from four classes to three, so that should help a bit too- if I haven't collapsed before then.

Wish me luck, my dudes.

The unholy fusion of Krampus and Uncle Sam: Uncle Sampus. He rides in on an eagle named Harley Davidson and savagely beats Nazis and white supremacists with a star-spangled bike chain. :flagus:
