This is why I have a teachercrush on this man.

OH GOD CRYING FOREVER. ;______;

Soooo earlier, I sent an email to Mitch, my Queer America teacher, basically apologizing for doing so shitty in his class this semester. I explained that I've just sort of fucked up this year academically a lot which is why I'm taking a semester off in the fall and stuff, but that I did really enjoy being in his class and I actually learned things though I didn't do all the assignments or have the grades to prove it. Because he really was an awesome teacher (I am not just saying this because I have a tiny teachercrush on him) and I did find the subject matter mostly interesting.

Aaaand he emailed me back thanking me for sending him the email and basically being like "I wish you had come to me for help sooner especially because you were one of two freshmen in a higher level class, I could've helped you get better at synthesizing information + etc. but it was good to have you in my class anyway." He's also offering me an incomplete so I could finish the work over the summer and stuff and I would totally do that but I'm not sure what the deal with that will be if I do get put on academic suspension for the fall or whatever.

The email concluded with "In the Spring, I am teaching a course called Gender, Sexuality, Literature and Culture. It is a 100 level English course which you might enjoy. I'd be very happy to see you in the class."

;;;;A;;;;; SOOOOOO IT KINDA MADE ME CHOKE UP OH GOD MITCH I AM LIKE FAILING YOUR CLASS, WHY ARE YOU STILL THE SWEETEST HUMAN IN THE WORLD. Also proving again that trans men >>>>>>> bio men by like over 9000. Uwaaaaa~ ;;A;;

In other news, I got my bike back! Also I am really broke! I took the last $40 out of my account to pay for my bike repairs which ended up costing EXACTLY $41 but the guy at the bike co-op was nice and let the $1 slide. Aaaaand I should probably put my clothes back on and go to work now, as I've been sitting in my room in my underwear sweating like hell for the past 10 minutes.

PS Also apparently Nick moved out of my house and back home this morning?? 9__6 Which is good if things are getting better with his parents, but lame 'cause I was looking forward to chilling with him all summer. Ah well.

PPS Cole I have somehow acquired like two of your wifebeaters and I'm not sure you're missing them so if you aren't I'm keeping them because they are made of comfortable.

PPPS I just saw a delicious trap really cute MtF when I was walking back from getting mail! I didn't know we had such cute MtFs on campus. Go figure.

PPPPS Hey Ridgewood kids, I just got a voicemail from Kaitlin Oetting. She wishes everyone well.

She calls once every few months, it's sweet. I'm glad she still contacts me once in a while.. it's good to know she's still living. I can't believe it's been like.. what, five years? since we've seen her. I miss her a lot. But at the same time, seeing her again would be so weird.

(For non-Ridgewood kids-- middle school BFF who moved to Minnesota after 8th grade and we almost entirely lost contact with. Probably the reason katze_utsusemi is still one of my best friends even though she moved after 9th grade, because we didn't want to lose each other like we lost Kaitlin. Oh god, middle school reminiscing someone help me skfjsklfjs ; ;)
