Unusual Character Associations

I was tagged by @junypr-camus to play a game created by @thenightmarewrites, where (as far as I understand it) I list what comes to mind when I associate specific words with my OCs. Thank you for the tag, this is a really interesting game that can give a lot of insight into my characters and how I perceive them! 

I’ll tag @marinesocks, @on-noon, @midnight-and-his-melodiverse, @starlightscribe, @writingpotato07, and anyone else who wants to join in the game can say I tagged them! 

For this list, I chose Micah Renner from my novel WIP “To Be Honest” as my associative OC.

Magical Power: sleep magic

House Plant: aloe vera

Weapon: taser

Just tried driving. Well, only moved my car about two metres because my daughter left it parked slightly in the way of the buses due tomorrow morning.

Unhappy to report elbow is still fucked and I can’t drive without pain!

‘College’ Language Courses

I’m asked to give an opinion on the course

Me: We waste class time singing children Chinese songs that we actually don’t understand or remember or care to learn. Perhaps focusing on writing sentences in Chinese characters would be helpful.. I don’t have time to spend 6 hours on work either when at least 2 of those hours could be spent in class learning Chinese characters..

Next Week

Professor: [I failed to inform you all that we do not have a test today] we will no longer have test for each lesson because it waste class time. Instead we will have a final test combining 5 lessons in one.

Proceeds to play chinese children songs and waste time with silly games

Me: Beyond irritated 

Looks for Spanish classes to take next semester

Chooses one

Searches professor’s last name on RMP....

Professor has complaints of doing the same thing: games and children songs.

Really? What is this teaching style and what theorist suggested this method of teaching would be beneficial?

I need to be around people that make me happy, why do they all have to be so far away or unavailable?
