Just testing a hypothesis.

I couldn't help but notice that a higher percentage of my friends list than usual seems to be having a really hard time lately.

Just lately?

[satia.livejournal.com]

My answer is yes and no because things have gone to shit lately but no moreso than they usually do in my life . . . :(

Re: Just lately?

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

I know, honey. I wish I could help.

*hugs*

Oh but you do

[satia.livejournal.com]

I truly enjoy your posts from snarky to whiny (although I think of them more as vents) . . . and I can't wait to see you television.

are you going to tell us when it airs even if you don't blow them out of the water--which I personally believe you will do . . . blow them . . . out of the water, that is.

Re: Oh but you do

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know once I know. :)

This sounds so egotistical to even think, but I'm glad my little ramblings are of some good to you. *hugs*

Well, Cindy and I still haven't even come close to esolving our issuued; I'm working on borrowed time at work; the car is in the shop; and my mail/web is down with no way to get to it to reboot it. Not a good week.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Oh hon. I'm so sorry.

****hugs****

[gmslegion.livejournal.com]

So far so good, anyway!

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Good! Let's keep it that way!

study..

[jenbibi.livejournal.com]

in pshych class in college we learned that february is the worst time of year for crimes, psychiatric breaks, mood swings, etc. there isn't a lot of sun. it's right after the holidays. it's cold. people are broker, cranky, and can't wait for the warmer weather. pretty cool stuff. i know i hate february every year. it's usually depressing and financially rough.

Bwahahahaha!

[sempereadem.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for that cheery overview!

Re: study..

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

This explains SO much!!!

Re: study..

[jenbibi.livejournal.com]

well i learned something at college! lol

but yeah...ask around...almost everyone hates february

[tyrantmouth.livejournal.com]

Just on a personal level, but I'm working to improve them already.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

I am proud of you... and I owe you an email. Let me know if you need a sounding board, m'kay? *hugs*

[tyrantmouth.livejournal.com]

Thanks, babe. *hugs*

[blackacre.livejournal.com]

Do I even need to answer this? ;)

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

*hugs*

Isn't there anything I can do?

[misanthropist.livejournal.com]

You know, things are been going fairly well, of late.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it!

[lunza.livejournal.com]

Heh ... anything that forces you to change your username on LJ can't be good.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

I've been worrying about that... because I think if you do a username search for your old name, your new name will come up.

[lunza.livejournal.com]

What kind of search? Google or LJ?

I know if you go here: http://www.livejournal.com/~merlaan it'll say "Journal deleted." I also know that when I executed the name change there was an option to refer the old name to the new journal, which I did not take.

[lunza.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, if someone clicks on communities. (See locked continuation of this thought in my journal.)

[daraflower.livejournal.com]

hey kelly-- i think something's wrong with your poll... i can't click both. ;)

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Some days are like that, aren't they? ;)

[daraflower.livejournal.com]

my attitude about this matter fluctuates wildly even on a typical day... but yes, today more so than average. *punches air*

[azurelunatic]

Happily, I have a job (amazing) and school's actually looking up.

Our financial situation is shit but getting better.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear it!

[vanguardian.livejournal.com]

But only as it applies to the job. My life outside of work is going better than it has in a long time.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a good thing...

[phyrra.livejournal.com]

where to begin...
1. failed my first spanish test
2. saw people cheat on the test and reported it to the professor
3. the professor isn't going to do anything about it
4. the professor humiliated me in front of the entire class today (she handed back our tests, on one section of my test she said, you totally didn't understand thsi, come see me thursday and i'll explain it to you. i said ok. so then she asks me later on in the class how to do it and i'm like uh, i don't know. you know this. but she did it in front of the entire fucking class. she didn't do this to anyone else)
i'm stressed out, burnt out and wanting to kill all the stupid people in the world.
life sucks.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Eeeee. I want to beat them all with a stick for you!

[phyrra.livejournal.com]

i wish you could

[daraflower.livejournal.com]

3. the professor isn't going to do anything about it

please do me, and you, and all the other diligent students of the world a small but significant favor?

go to the dean and present your case. or go to the chair of your spanish prof's department.


i was an honest student, even when shit got bad, and now i am a TA and i still see that shit going on and it incenses me. i'm sure i don't have to tell you how it feels to help a failing student for hours, and see that student get all teared up with joy over her passing grade of D, and know there are others in the class who have taken unfair advantages.

[phyrra.livejournal.com]

I have always been an honest student and never cheated. I worked hard, worked my ass off last semester to get a D in spanish (2010).
Now I have to take Spanish 2020 and get a D to pass it to graduate. I got an F on my test.
I will talk to the teacher once more, and give her one more chance, telling her how it disheartens me that I am failing, and that others are passing because they are cheating, and how it makes me want to give up. If she doesn't do something about it then, I will go to the chair of the department and complain because it is NOT fair that other students cheat.
I don't know what else to do.
I don't want to threaten my teacher.
All I want to do is pass the fucking class so I can graduate.
I spend more time on spanish than all my other classes combined, yet I swear i feel like i'm getting worse at it, not better.
I feel stupid :( yet i know i'm not.
