I think my university should pay me for emotional damages for having to write a thesis exposé. To the amount of whatever I need to go on a short trip to Helsinki to recharge from this bs and to get a tattoo and a coffin full of Fazer chocolates.
#i've been in the library since 6pm or so and have not gotten a single letter done#because i genuinely Do Not Know what to write about this#i don't WANT to write a thesis; having to write a thesis will be my last straw to a break-down if that terminography seminar doesn't do it#and i don't get the point of a thesis anyway. no one but me and my advisor and maybe two examinors will read it#i'll not bring forth any important new knowledge to use#even if i did magically discover some groundbreaking new way to teach second languages - which is not the focus of my paper#like i wanted because the head of institute said no - it would still mean nothing because no one's gonna read it anyway#i'm literally just some rando with subpar grades and papers and motivation and dedication to my studies except for the classes i like#and feel like i'm actually learning something important#which is another point: I'm studying translation and interpreting. I'll do a final translation exam in both language directions.#why is that not enough for a degree? it's literally what I study. i couldn't give less of a shit about scientific theories about translatio#yes you should hear about them sometime and it can be useful. but i don't give a single fuck about research etc.#i want to translate and subtitle and maybe at some point interpret. and add a second language besides english because well#the job market but also very importantly my own interests#can't take the swedish course because it interferes with another class; can take a ukrainian class but it's very low-level#can't take a polish or bosnian or serbian or croatian class because they only have higher levels right now#could take a chinese or japanese class but it's... a lecture? with 40+ people in it? how are you supposed to learn a language from a lectur#tried a portuguese class once but the teacher was absolutely awful. nice but so bad at teaching.#and every now and then i think maybe i should learn how to teach a language to someone because oh my GOD would i love to help people#coming here to learn german in ways they'll actually use and see them improve and help them be excited about learning!#or go somewhere else and teach german maybe while also learning the language of the country i'm in#and i thought maybe writing a thesis about second language acquisition and teaching would be a nice way to find out how interested#i am in that actually. but no. my topic now is... hold on. hmmm.#man i'M not even sure. i submitted something and my advisor wrote me an email with a different suggestion for the title#and idk what i'm supposed to write about. not saying the depression isn't playing a role too but damn am i not excited about this#which is. a great start to writing a thesis when 90% of your work ethic comes from being excited about something or interested init#'The preparation of translation-oriented language competence at school using the example of English lessons at Austrian High Schools'#ah yes. someone help me write an exposé about that.#i don't know how and what to include and I don't want to either#come onnnnnn two days ago being at the library helped at least a little bit but now i've been here 3+ hours and i've got nothing

late last night, I figured out how to compile my scrivener drafts to epubs (finally)
it is. immensely surreal to see your own work show up like a book in your ereader for the first time, let me tell you that.

maybe he's just a PR doll for them but to ignore the fact that daniel was at the factory the week of the bahrain gp (and will probably be there this race week too) probably working on the sim or seeing the data from both cars is very telling.
like they all love to run their mouths and say rb only gains on the PR department but forget daniel is a good asset to have if you wanna improve ur car. which wasn't just said by his rb peers or our delusional asses, it was said by his renault team and by MCLAREN AS WELL (Stella sang nothing but praises about his feedback) so what then
and when mclaren personnel are praising him for something instead of scapegoating him you KNOW they must mean it 💀

#god I’m so fucking bitter abt life rn#got an email from my university’s graduate school that was all ‘thank you grad students you are the backbone of our university’#and all I could think was ‘yes we fucking know. we’ve been saying this. pay us more’#it’s genuinely not the grad school’s fault. they’ve actually been really helpful to our cause#like they commissioned a study a year or two ago that found grad students here are criminally underpaid compared to peer institutions#(as in they’d need to raise our wages by 25% to be competitive. as I said. CRIMINALLY underpaid)#and they have been advocating for us to the board of governors and whatnot using this study as evidence#so I’m not actually mad at the grad school. it’s the university in general#all they do is say ‘grad students are key to our institution’s success’ like yes we know we’re just cheap labor#we teach like 60% of undergrad classes bc we’re cheaper than tenured faculty#I read this article that interviewed a bunch of NTT faculty at my school and they were like ‘yeah we get paid like $50-60k and can’t survive#on that in this VERY EXPENSIVE housing market’#and I was like ‘well damn then I will no longer feel like my inability to survive on $30k is a personal failing’#I’m at my fucking breaking point. I just need a new job#and I’ve been applying like crazy and all I’ve heard back from anyone was two rejections#I’m sure it’ll work out but it’s very hard to see that rn

I swear there’s no such thing as normal people in my life IRL anymore
#i have had an adventure#long story short though? needed money so i took up a job for a friend who needs help with this or that from time to time#shady stuff occassionally but nothing like dangerous or illegal just sort of of under the table stuff#sometimes help fix houses for market or do errands or meet with this person on his behalf to pick up when he's out of state#or going through abandoned storages he's purchased and helping load up anything of value#stuff like that#anyways he asked me to look for someone go to their house because they went silent and owe him or something#so i go there understandably nervous. door unlocked so i knock and call you know just to make sure he's alive#no response. guy is somewhat old so maybe he had a stroke or something i dunno my concern outweighs my caution so i venture in#I SHIT YOU NOT he had fucking fake bodies#not mannequins fake decoy bodies under his sheets of his rooms#I am undestandably shitting bricks over what kind of weirdo i'm dealing with at this point#he had them in like every room. like every single room of his house#he left a note in his kitchen like he knew someone was coming about being out of town for a couple of days#i tell friend about it. he calls the guy. no answer still.#note did say he'd be back in a few days though. after leaving and checking in here and there the guy did come back though so#no murder mystery or anything like that. he just suddenly got an urge to leave to fucking oregon. for no reason. he just...felt like it#i asked him about the dolls and he explains it's to discourage robbers#BUT HE LEFT HIS FUCKING FRONT DOOR UNLOCKED DESPITE GOING THIS FAR SO I'M JUST????????#started talking about prepping for the grid to fall one day and living in the mountains and government conspiracies and getting really#heated with me. like dude actually fucking grabbed me and shook me and was warning me about fucking chinese agents and some shit and i just#want him to hurry up and call my friend so i can go home and get my fucking money at this point#I SHIT YOU NOT#he kept talking for a whole 1 and 30 minutes about just random ass shit even as I kept explaining to him he NEEDS to check in with my friend#but nope nope. too complicated. he needed to get his 'energy' right for a conversation with 'that guy'#but talking to me was fine because he senses i was a kindred spirit#not sure how to take that#anyways i did eventually get him to call and got paid#when i got home but holy fucking shit#there's a lot i'm leaving out here for time and sanity's sake including his nostaligic grilled cheese rambling but yeah

I shouldn't have to get a job, I should be paid to sit at home, work on my silly crafts, play video games, bake food for my friends, and look cute. This is criminal.
