finished finals i will be the only person living in my apartment for the next many many days (weeks?) only one of my roommates is left & she's leaving in a few hours and im like girl when you go. the scaries are going to SET IN. i am very newly 50% of the way through college being alone rn is a BAD idea.
today is my last day of finals and once i take my last exam today (intermediate microeconomics sigh sigh) i will be DONE with sophomore year of college (and will thus be halfway done with college) which is TERRIFYING! hashtag the days are long but the years fly by
there's also this cycle that keeps disabled people isolated socially:
my needs are higher than it is socially appropriate to ask someone to meet when you dont know them well -> i don't know the people running any given organization or program or class at all; i am a stranger to them -> asking for what i need is punished bc it is seen as rude, bossy, or entitled -> this is so aversive to me that i simply stop trying to participate in anything.

we've all been there! this physical and social isolation is IMPOSED BY ABLEISM

from Solace by Sarah Mei Herman
so horribly in the throes of pining and thinking about her its insane. she speaks mandarin so we spoke mandarin a bit during dinner (it was a lot of her speaking and me responding in english) and she's taiwanese so her accent is pretty different to that of many of my friends who i speak mandarin with and taiwanese accents in mandarin are SO pretty and also just she is so pretty that now im sitting in my living room twirling my hair like wowww i want her to speak to me in mandarin again
i hung out with my very beautiful coworker yesterday in what scholars are calling "the closest you can get to being on a lesbian date without it being a date". i had (in my mind) planned on us going to one set of locations. well we met up and she was like "we're going to go to take the ferry to [location i had not planned on going to]" and i was like we are? and she said yes its more fun it's a better view and i said okay i trust you lead the way!
in the span of 5 hours, we went to 3 different cities, took 2 trains and 2 ferries, and probably walked at least 2 miles. in the time we were together i opened google maps ONCE. i didn't look at the ferry schedules, i didn't look at the train schedules, etc despite the fact that I HAD BEEN THE ONE WHO INVITED HER. at the end of dinner she paid, and after i offered to pay and she turned me down i said "okay, then next time it's on me"
i DONT know whats going on
