This semester needs to end 😫😢😓

There's so many new cases in my state. K-12 got a week long spring break. It ends Monday, and I'm honestly so worried about returning to in person instruction. A lot of families travelled and didn't take proper precautions. There's going to be rapid testing for most K-12 before spring break ends, but I'm worried because it's only so accurate and it's voluntary. I'm fully vaccinated, but some of these kids are high risk because of asthma and diabetes and other health conditions. I'll survive if I'm jobless or my substitute teaching hours are cut again, but these kids struggle so much with online learning. My suffering in fully online college is only a glimpse into what they go through. My heart goes out to them. I think we're going to have another shutdown soon. It's completely necessary, but still hard.

My mental health has taken such a large shit as of late. This week needed to be productive as hell and I'm barely barely barely keeping up with what needs to happen. I'm working 4 full days next week and I have 3 group meetings and 1 class presentation and 1 group report on an experiment and all the other shit I've been dealing with. Online school is kicking my ass y'all

most people: *organize their bookshelf by authors, alphabetical order, ect*

me: i’m going to organize my bookshelf purely by vibes and contrasting colours

Any tips for dealing with a parent who won't acknowledge your accomplishments? Tonight was my university's honors convocation. I sent my mom a link to the YouTube video (it was a virtual ceremony) and told her the time my picture came on the screen. She read it and never said anything. It's been about 2 hours. I was actually proud of myself, but now I'm bummed out. It's like when she said she would go to my K-12 band concerts and then I'd look for her in the audience and she wouldn't be there because she "forgot" or something like that.

never underestimate the power of:

• cleaning off your laptop/computer

• changing your sheets

• straightening up your room

• changing out your toothbrush

• drinking water

• changing the lock/homescreens on your phone

• changing your phone case

• changing your pajamas

• putting on chapstick

• washing your face and putting on moisturizer

• putting lotion on your body

A word of wisdom: mind maps aren't supposed to make any sense, they're just suppoesd to get your thoughts down on paper!

I am very glad to have drawn away from the houseplant hobby before it went... entirely to shit. I'm doing one order of plants online this year because I want to try some fancy gesneriads but my brain is just checked out on houseplants and ready to do some real gardening

[plantanarchy]

@itriedtoescape a combination of things tbh largely the increased price jacking, yeah. The constant obsession with the new and rare, less and less regard for growing these plants to a mature size and just collecting 800 barely rooted cuttings, the excess, the always wanting more and never being satisfiedness of the hobby, the trend of new plant shops popping up constantly to sell an increasingly narrow flavor of plants, pushing out older growers with more diverse plants because they dont do things like an etsy store.... the shift from being a hobbyist to being a consumer. The intragram perfect plant photos and positioning that are not sustainable or realistic. The plant POACHING from places like Indonesia or south/central America. The completely bizarre plant trends that go around such as disinfecting everything with hydrogen peroxide? The disconnect from where these plants come from and like... dirt, sweat, insects, seasons, etc. No hard work, just appearances. No true love of botany, just home decor.

Anyway lol yeah

I love my houseplants, but I have to say this post resonated a bit

One of the very few things I'll miss about online learning is being able to audibly cuss and throw things while taking difficult tests

Officially caught up on all my sick work!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Now to tackle this week's activities that mostly accumulated on this weekend 🙃

Also, I use google docs as a planner because my online classes are hard to manage with their random postings and due dates and changes. I normally don't need to do this, but the rainbow highlighting at the top was part of a list of everything I needed to do this week (I am doing the work for this week and last week). I color coded it for each day to help break it up.
