Well I have exactly 10 days until I am done with my first semester of graduate school. I finished my hardest paper and now have two to go. One I'm supremely confident about. The other one not so much but that class has a lot more grades so I'm a lot less worried ( Read more... )

So. Yesterday the field director knocked me from full time to part time student because I made the mistake of disclosing my disabilities to the School of Social Work. And I missed the Monumentour because of all that was involved in this mess. And the M&G. I'm going sit here and sob for awhile. Don't mind me ( Read more... )

SO! Idk if I told you guys this but I work for a little zine called Den of Geek, or I did once upon a dream. This year, I got automatically registered for press at San Diego Comic Con. Yay! Then I get an email from my boss - there are too many people going you cant go. Color me shattered. If you know me you know I live for SDCC and this year I'll ( Read more... )

So, I've been radio silent for a long time. Lots of thinking about my life and working on things and getting denied and denied and fired and denied and shut down makes you really think.

This morning I got a facebook message from the most odious person I went to high school with. It was basically spam except for the fact that he knowingly sent it to me. As he was a total dicksnot, I decided "Screw the high road, I'm going to have fun." Before you, is the conversation with the names removed because I do believing in privacy but ( Read more... )

So I took the Georgia teacher certification exams - English I and II - today. It took 4 hours and was incredibly stressful. I dont find out if I passed until July 16. But, um, yay? Hopefully I will pass and can apply for jobs in Atlanta or abroad or not. At least I would have it! *flops* Holy crap it was stressful and I am deeply fried.

The beginning of 2012 has been better than the end of 2011 so far. I'm still in partial hospitalization at Skyland Trail and today, I met with the recreational therapist. She helped me big time in setting daily/long term goals and how to actually achieve them (journaling apparently). So this year, this space is going to have a lot more content and ( Read more... )

Dear family, dear friends, dear acquaintances - dear everyone whose think they have any fucking right to ask me questions from my mother to the stranger in the mall - just STOP ( Read more... )

Things in real life got very complicated very fast once ComicCon ended you guys. I got trapped in San Diego for about two days (Thanks so much Delta) at which point, my father decided to call me for the first time in months and it's was pretty devastating. I cried like a little girl in the airport. Then I had my finals - three of them back to back ( Read more... )
