Between Tuesday 5am to Friday 5am (today) I slept about 64 / 72 hours. I was basically in a coma but I didn't pay for premium (which is why I was awake for a few hours around noon on wednesday). I woke up dehydrated and hungry. It's finals week. It's 3:30pm the last day of the semester. 
          	
          	I've come to terms with the fact that I'm failing history after passing it with a 100+% up until mid November (I'm missing 3 essay-assignments and a final paper). I can't fail my research writing class, so that's main priority. I have 8 hours to do 7 assignments, 1 of which is to write my massive research paper. 
          	
          	I'm hoping I finish by 7pm, though, so I can do late work for my creative writing class so I don't end up on academic probation. 
          	
          	pray for me.

How'd the presentation go?

@AllieAprilKnox agreed. You’d think being college students in finals week would do it for them— but nope lol

@atha_athens Woohoo on the points! In terms of the jokes, I sadly believe your audience lacked the necessary familiarity with the depths of poor mental health and the need to find humor in any situation :(

@AllieAprilKnox I yapped for 25 minutes straight and got 200/200 points! No one laughed at my jokes about my mental health, tho :(

Watching Camp Cretaceous in the background as I create a powerpoint presentation about the background canon context of the Jurassic Park universe, a brief overview of the JP triology, a brief overview of Jurassic World, a slightly longer overview on Camp Cretaceous, an overview on Panic Room and Eva Rocker's character between the end of Camp Cretaceous (mid 2016) to the start of Chaos Theory (mid-late 2022), a brief overview on Chaos Theory thus far and FINALLY my budding ideas about my plans for Panic Room's sequel, Genesis, and what I plan to do with Eva's character. 
          
          ALL BECAUSE I decided to be smart and make the topic of my huge research paper for my college class the topic I'm researching for Genesis in order to write Eva's character. All the JP/Camp C/Panic Room lore is just a lead-in for the presentation I'm doing tomorrow defending my thesis of the psychological effects of prolonged grief and how it can lead to insanity and psychotic breaks.  
          
          And I have to, presumably, do all of this in about 20-25 minutes because the class is 75 minutes long and there's 2 other presenters after me.

            It's not that bad. Just don't procrastinate. Or if you do, as long as you lock in more than 24 hours before the due date, you'll be fine :)
            
            I also accidentally took 3 writing classes this semester so all of my finals are papers and huge writing assignments so don't do that. balance yourself out when you take your classes.

first two things I'm doing after finals week concludes next Wednesday is watching Arcane and then playing Hogwarts Legacy. I've seen so many spoilers for Arcane on tt but it's okay because I don't understand a single one! I also used my 2024 Christmas money to buy Hogwarts Legacy an hour ago (it's 70% off on Steam rn) but I know I CANNOT start it until I finish the semester because I won't be able to get off of it and I'll probably fail my classes (already lookin that way but gotta try anyways). 
          
          Writing my stories is obviously a priority, but I have to take a maths placement exam over break before taking chemistry next semester so that takes third priority after Arcane and Harry Potter video games. I want to write and push out the Panic Room prequel so badly I'm aggravating my migraines stressing over it, so on top of everything I need to do above, I'm going to attempt to write most of Golden Hour Glow before the spring semester starts. 
          
          But I'm also in the process of writing a Panic Room hunger games au, so we'll see what happens. 
          
          Hope you guys are having a wonderful early December! <3

@Slytheengowrl 
            Yeah I have so many books in the witch's cauldron I have them permanently written down on my whiteboard with which ones I think I HAVE to finish (there's about 30) I'm def gonna figure things out over break
            Good luck on your HG assignment!! I am coincidentally doing a presentation tomorrow about Panic Room and how it relates to my research topic as a lead in for the paper I'm writing for my research writing class. I'm showing up to class dressed as Eva for the cherry on top. 
            ✨Breakdowns✨ are such a pivotal part of finals week but we got this!! (I say as I have two major papers I haven't started yet that are both due in eight days; and a memoir)

            I wanted to play Hogwarts legacy sooo bad but then my friend sucked me into the world of dark fiction and ao3 so I forgot about it. All my friends love arcane but if I tried to watch it it would be chaos. Also fuckign LOVE hunger games and have a 70ish page assignment on it (kill me now) 
            Girl you’ve got so many books brewing I don’t even know which ones will exist 
            ✨✨ I also had a breakdown ✨✨
