how to tell the ppl who designed this spanish curriculum that people can retain an average of only 7 new vocab items a day, & that expecting a HS student to learn, retain, & be quizzed on 23 new words & the preterite conjugation of 4 irregular verbs in the span on ONE fifty-minute session is not only comically unrealistic, but extremely demotivating for the student

life/support update

so some of you remember a few months ago, when i was unemployed & really struggling; a few of you stepped in & really helped me out

a lot has happened (mostly for the worse) since then -- i (fortunately) currently have one contract-based job rn that doesn’t even come close to being enough hours (not even half of part time), i got surprised with a tonne of loan debt i didn’t even know i had (i was supposed to be in forbearance from the year of americorps service i did, but it wasn’t applied to all of my loans apparently), i don’t have even remotely enough to make rent, i’m two months behind on utilities payments, & none of the jobs & gigs i’m applying to are getting back to me... & somehow i’m also still trying to be in school

basically, i still need help with rent (it costs me $675), utilities (it’s at about $200 now), eventually i’ll figure out my $4.5K overdue loan payments, not to mention medical bills i’m not thinking about, + i owe a friend some money for a prior rent

i currently have $40 to my name

before i go asking for help, though, i want to address a neglected issue: the thank you ideas i’d put forward back in early december -- the main one (still in effect) was a free poem or translation request or calligraphy request for anyone who already donated (just dm/ask); apart from that, i had some ideas for where i wanted to go with this blog, but, like many people post dec 17, my activity on tumblr has changed, so while i do foresee some of the things i mentioned happening graduatlly, i don’t think i’ll be fully implementing those ideas (the personal blogging, the research play-by-plays, the witchy integration) immediately

i’m also still working on getting that new blog about my research started (progress has been slowed by being in these dire straits) & the links to that will be available as soon as it’s ready to go

anyway, i’ll be making a shorter, more rebloggable donations post which i’ll come back & link here, & in the meantime i have links in my description (which should also work on mobile)

thank you

why did every possible bad thing that could happen to my loved ones in seattle have to happen now, while i’m trapped here in california? i feel so angry and helpless to help the people i love
