I've changed my name in case my classmates try to search me up

yall its been a full year??? i hope u guys are well bless you all. idk how active yall still are and i prob wont be back but i'm popping on just to say im alive and well and slaying. in my second year of university, studying cognitive science, loving what i do. if you want me to go on the longest most insane tangent of my life feel free to ask me about my major.
          
          regrettably i'm not the same degree of insane for the things i used to be insane about any more (i.e., musicals) but i saw hadestown last november and went crazy and insane about it. currently i've been super into reading again, currently reading the design of everyday things by don norman and why fish don't exist by lulu miller, recent faves are the secret history by donna tartt, the bell jar by sylvia plath, and vicious by ve schwab.
          
          if yall want to keep in touch i'm @mildew-dread-mold on tumblr and shoot me a dm for my discord if you want, hope you guys are doing so great!!

not all gifted kids are compliant
          not all gifted kids have good grades
          not all gifted kids are gifted in every subject
          kids with learning disorders can be gifted
          
          gifted programs and accomodations are worthless if they only account for gifted kids who behave perfectly and have been doing competitions since the first grade. gifted kids who struggle in a classroom setting due to lack of academic stimulation are the ones who actually need gifted programs. xx
          
          
          also i hope this doesn't come off as first-world problem-y, but as a gifted kid who was fucked over by gifted programs and has watched countless others get fucked over by gifted programs, and is currently watching my city fuck over gifted programs as a whole, i think this is important

tbh the time my parents spend telling me that im not studying enough exceeds the time i even have available to study

the universe giveth back. today i had to stay half an hour overtime at work (kid's parent just did not show up to pick him up) and when i got pizza they messed up my order so i got a FREE pizza. also im getting paid for overtime! life is okay, i guess

favourite genre of music: lyrics that you screenshot and send to your friends because they're so profound and amazing, and when your friend asks you what the song is about you realize you have no idea

my mom watching a movie with me: hey do you think that guy is hot?
          me wanting his gender and thinking about the sexual tension he has with another man: yeah sure

another day another thinking about hadestown costumes

HELLO SOS 
          IF MY BOSS USES EMOJIS AND CUTE GIFS WHEN TEXTING ME SHOULD I MATCH HER ENERGY OR STAY FORMAL PLS THIS IS THE MOST STRESSFUL PART OF THE JOB (ALONGSIDE WITH NOT MISSPELLING STUFF IN CHINESE BUT THAT SECOND PART IS JUST MY PROBLEM)

broke my wordle streak of 39…
