what degree are you planing to get??
pharmacy! i want to get a bachelor's initially (and there's a couple different ways i can do that, i can go to the community college and get my A.A. degree and then transfer to a 4yr university, which would probably be UCF or UF but i really want to go to FA&MU, or i could just go to a 4yr from the start. obviously the first option is cheaper but i've heard transferring can sometimes add an extra year to your total time in school because of missing credits and i don't want that to happen) and then shoot for a PharmD degree to be a licensed pharmacist :)
#fa&mu has a really good pharmacy program one of the best in the state and it's way cheaper than UF or UCF#but UF is closer to home (which is also something i need to factor into this because i cannot pay for on campus living or even offcampus#by myself like i have ~7k in a savings account but that's going towards books and fees and even a little towards tuition so)#UCF is closer than either of the other two but it's so fucking expensive 😭 and they don't have a Pharmacy degree so I'd have to do the#pre health science track and hope i meet all the undergrad prerequisite courses to apply to a college of pharmacy .#BUT the community college is way closer than any of those. and it's cheaper. AND it offers the A.A. pharmacy degree so it would be easier#i'd still need to pay for that though 😭 and sometime between now and applying to a college of pharmacy for the pharmd i need to#get experience working in a Pharmacy. which shouldn't be a problem because i'll be graduating as a certified pharm tech but you never know#oh wow SORRY i have a lot bottled up 😭😭 my parents act so disinterested every time i try to talk to about this stuff#so . well. i overdhare to strangers on the internet to cope 💗💗💗#ask#anonymous

welcome to the abbyplan
so i’ve been thinking that i should finally get around to taking the droves of college conference realignment google docs i have swimming around in my google drive and turning them into Content so y’know here goes! actually before i get into actually posting any conferences i’m just gonna lay the baseline for what this is, divisions of college sports in this scenario, etc. etc. basically i’m planning on outlining the conferences for:
the ncfl (national collegiate football league, this scenario’s breakaway fbs-equivalent league)
ncaa d1 football
ncaa d1 basketball
ncaa d1 hockey
ncaa d2 football
ncaa d2 basketball
ncaa d3 football
ncaa d3 basketball
ncaa d3 hockey
with the added bonus that the ncaa is also the ONLY body for four-year college sports and all the naia, uscaa, etc. schools have to join the ncaa. and also all of the other schools in british columbia to go along with simon fraser because why not at this point. will i finish all of this before i run out of interest? probably not. updates will probably get more scarce as i trawl down the division ladder because i obviously don’t know a whole bunch about the lower divisions and will be busy researching to see what schools fit where (also don’t expect any sort of regular update schedule for this, i’m posting new wretched creations conferences whenever i feel like it). speaking of where schools fit, this realignment plan is mostly motivated by 6 things:
preservation of traditional rivalries
geographic compactness
encouraging new rivalries to form via the aforementioned geographic compactness and by grouping institutions of similar scope together
vibes
fun sports
12 teams or less per conference
no dropping schools down a division/from the ncfl to d1 (there are one or two exceptions to this that i reserved to make things fit better iirc)
that’s all you really need to know to get what i’m doing here. one final thing: i reserve the right to fuck around with school names, delete schools, etc. school deletion will only happen to the really bad religious schools, contingent on the fact that schools with more sporting notoriety/better fits in conferences are more likely to be preserved. name changes is for stuff like changing ucf to the citronauts because that’s awesome, declaring binghamton university the new flagship campus of the brand new new york state university, thus creating the new york state bearcats, or changing the names of the bad religious schools i kept (e.g. baylor → brazos, liberty → lynchburg) so i can preserve my clean conscience. so yeah!
#actually this probably wont be just conference realignment there'll be some playoff aand scheduling stuff for cfb#hey speaking of ucf wouldnt it be fucked if they were in the acc#leftist wall of text#ill start with the big ten because duh

speaking of grad school, I would suggest no one ever go to a university for serious academics if that school happens to be a D1 football school bc idk how any other university does it, but mine cancels class on every weekday game that's played at our home arena
meaning I have missed three classes for fucking football this semester, in addition to the hurricane and my profs attending conferences
classes I pay over $200 per credit hour for

what really gets me about columbia threatening to sic the national fucking guard on protesting students is like. literally Last Semester there was a scandal where UCF's official athletics dept twitter posted, in response to beating kent state in a football game, "SOMEONE CALL THE NATIONAL GUARD". and the university had to apologize for that because obviously it was unbelievably insensitive... whereas now it's just. Fine. for columbia to literally do that exact thing to its own students for protesting the palestinian genocide.
#ari opinion hour#im not joking btw. this really happened. and yes it was LAST SEMESTER#like. WHAT THE HELL.#so that wasnt okay. but just straight up setting up for a replay of may 4th a couple states over is fine?????

Aotearoa [Mostly Poetry] Books I Am In Love With
Some I've included a little review, some I haven't. I still love them. I will probably add to this as I read more
Thorn Boy by C T Dickons
Thorn Boy is a fantasy short story anthology featuring arch demons in hell, the house at the end of the dock, a boy who blends in like a lizard, guardian of the stars, and more. It's a wonderful and imaginative collection refined over years. (Also the cover is gorgeous)
Crude Common Denominator by Max and Olive
Hera Lindsay Bird and Sincerity/Irony by Hera Lindsay Bird
Echidna by essa may ranapiri
A mashup of mythologies: Greek, Māori, and Christianity. It is wonderful and experimental and incredibly queer. This poetry collections follows titular character Echidna as they grow up, punctuated by Maui and Prometheus' tragic love story. It pays homage and is in conversation with many other poets from Aotearoa
Super Model Minority by Chris Tse
The Surgeon's Brain by Oscar Upperton
Poūkahangatus and Rangikura by Tayi Tibble
Meat Lovers by Rebecca Hawkes
From growing up rural to moving to a big city, another lens of the queer experience, Meat Lovers was another favourite. I love a poetry collection that also tells a story.
Biter by Claudia Jardine
The modern and the classics are woven effortlessly together in Jardine's collection with scatterings of Greek epigram translations. As a lover of the classics and a lover of poetry, this is perfect
Black Marks on the White Page edited by Witi Ihimaera and Tina Makereti
A stunning collection of Oceanic writing. Have I read all of it? Not yet, but there are some wonderful pieces in here and this was one of my first true introductions to Oceanic writing. 'Pitter Patter Papatūānuku' remains my favourite.
Transposium by Dani Yourukova
The reason I made this post. A mashup of poetry and dark academia and philosophy and classics. Queer longing, philosophy rambles, thinly veiled Les Mis fanfiction.
Out Here: An anthology of Takatāpui and LGBTQIA+ writers from Aotearoa edited by Emma Barnes and Chris Tse
Exactly what the title says. This is the first of it's kind in Aotearoa and it is an incredibly beautiful anthology.
Scathing: A Horror Anthology by Sam Wyss
Fucking creepy. I wanted to throw my book across the room because it made my skin crawl (and I would have had I not been at work). But wonderful. 24 short horror stories set in the fictional town of Scathing. From moon mania to murder to spontaneous human combustion, to weird deer creatures. Sam is a bloody talented author and I am 100% biased in saying that.
Ship of Horrors: A Manifest of Nightmares
Just like Scathing, it was bone chilling. Made my skin scrawl. I wanted to through my book across the room. This is a collection of a variety of local authors who all had the same prompt: The UCF Carcosa has been found adrift in space, the ship's only communication is a single repeating plea, 'leave us be. For god's sake, run away'. Killer plagues, graphic depictions of spaghettification, evil plants, eldritch monsters. And I am also 100% biased in saying this one as well. (If you've seen my posts about Spores)

The Other Man - A dystopian future where reproductive rights are regulated by the government through vasectomies. Donate to @plannedparenthood while you still can! #happymothersday ! Since this is my mother's favorite film of mine, I decided to #reboot it in response to the whole #supremecourt thing wanting to take away my #righttochoose . I made it back in #2007 as a #filmstudent at #ucf - I wanted it to originally be something like #ingmarbergman directing #thehandmaidstale (I know... I was in my early 20's, so sue me) - I always wanted to go back and make it less pretentious...I don't know if I succeeded, but fuck it! #abortion #abortionishealthcare #plannedparenthoodactionfund #mothersday #mothersdaygifts #prochoice #manhunter #vasectomy #mybodymychoice #scifihorror #horrorfilm #independentmovie #independentfilm #roevwade #roevswade #womeninfilm #womeninhorror #independentfilm #dystopianfuture #videoart #experimentalfilm #vaporwave https://www.instagram.com/p/CdUKDhFLX4l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was explaining to a friend how I only spoke a 5yr-old's Vietnamese because my mother had me stop out of fear it would get me bullied. It hit me in the moment how sad it was that Ive never tried to learn it in all the years since. That there is this pathetic fear there, that if I learn to speak the language of my family I will see even more clearly how I do not belong.
I am half Vietnamese and half White and I look just odd enough that neither community will accept me implicitly. My full viet cousins lovingly call me Mongrel, but even though they say it with love, they are still acknowledging the fact that I am not inherently one of them. When they host big Asian-only parties and festivals at UCF, I dont get invited. Then I turn around and the floridian white kids I grew up with call me Guk and Zipperhead because of my monolid and recount harvard entry statistics at me when I ask them to stop.
Why should I even want to belong to either if they don't want me?
Because I am human and I crave an in-group, but as a queer, neurodivergent, not quite straight-passing, bi-racial person I am conveniently shunted into the nearest out-group. I am an easy person to other.
So anyway, I'm emigrating so that when I feel like an alien I can tell myself thats because its just the plain old truth. Not because I am the refuse of war, not because my grandmother whispers into my ear that I am The Dust of Life, but because thats how a normal person feels when living in a culture that is not their own. So I dont have to think about the fact that I was born in the cracks between cultures. So I dont have to look at my Trump loving Kinh cousins and listen to them spit hate at Syrians and Afghanis.
This was a long ramble-post that no one will see and I dont know what my point even was other than I'm so fed up of being in outgroups. Of always hanging out on the patio, hoping to meet other smokers, uncomfortable inside. So tired of feeling like that Little Matchstick Girl. Fuck Im so fucking tired in general
