Survey says, the bonus points on my exam came from (A) the fact that my teacher didn't explain the exam beforehand and (B) 13 people missed one of the questions.
I forgot that for a few months of the year, my area tests its tornado sirens on the first Tuesday of the month at 10:00 AM. I know it's supposed to be loud but it sounds like they're beaming a super high pitched noise directly into my head and it hurts.
Maybe what would help me out with the depression that's trying to come back - hear me out, this is big brain time - is actually taking the med I was prescribed for my depression.
I feel like I need a big sign on me at all times to remind my classmates that I use she/her. These people know my name is Natalie and still misgender me all the time.
Being told that someone likes my name is like, the biggest compliment because it just means I did a good job picking it. I've actually been able to stick with this name for several months and it still makes me happy when people use it so I'm definitely going to be sticking with it.
Emceeing was absolutely amazing. A bunch of people came up to me after and said that not only did they like my emceeing, but that my writing was good and my reading voice was good.
The fact that you're all so happy to see me beating depression after this long has genuinely helped make my day. I can't express enough how appreciative I am of that with just one post.
Genuinely, I think I might just be the most impatient person this world has ever seen. If I really want something and I have to wait for it, I feel like I'm going to go crazy while I am waiting. It's very frustrating. The fact that grad school (and therefore teaching) can't start until August of next year just hurts me in my soul.
