hard lesson to learn but it has been important for college: ask professors for extensions BEFORE you desperately need it, rest BEFORE you're exhausted, skip class BEFORE you're too exhausted to go to class, cancel obligations as soon as the vibes are off, etc
there's been five times so far where I was like "Should I ask for this extension/go home early/skip this class?" and each time I've been incredibly thankful I did it and I felt better afterwards.
Sooo, maybe I've been a little mia, in my defense I went from having no job to having two, and between that and the college deadlines I've been quite stressed.like the three days I don't tutor I stay at the library with some classmates studying, and the days that I do tutor and have my other job I eat fast AF and study either when I come back or before going. Being a college student and working is quite tiring, but my career and the money in my back account are worth it. I might even be able to move out of my parents house when graduation comes
This! This is actually so important and we often overlook it and puss ourselves over our limits, which isn't bad overall, but dumb if we aren't careful
Self-care isn't selfish; it's necessary. Take the time to prioritize your well-being.
A lot of us have gotten more radicalized with this, but it's honestly terrifying how this tragedy has made so many people turn to the far-right.
Yesterday I had a huge argument with a good friend of mine because of this He's always been a leftist, but he shared a screenshot of a far-right protest and, when I told him it was organized by the far-right, he told me he would support whoever was helping Valencia and that right now it was the right and not the left. Which, alright, fair, they all suck right now, but my brother in Christ let's not forget it was the right that cut funds directed towards first responders, firefighters and EMTs to put them towards killing bulls in the name of tradition. Let's not forget it was the right that tried to shut down the AEMET because it was "useless". It was the right that wouldn't allow help from outside, too scared of having to face the consequences and the thousands - sorry, """hundreds""" of people they've killed with their incompetence and greed. It's the far right that ignored nine, NINE warnings from the AEMET, because they didn't want to lose money, but sent their own workers home early so they could evacuate.
It's the far-right that is refusing help and resources to POC and immigrants, and it's the far right that is spinning the narrative so people shout "Sánchez dimisión" instead of "Mazón asesino".
It's terrifying to see how the far-right benefits from the desperation and pain they caused directly.
THERE WOULDN'T BE MORE THAN 2 THOUSAND DEATHS IF THE FAR RIGHT REGIONAL GOVERNMENT HAD DONE ITS JOB. THERE WOULDN'T BE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MISSING PEOPLE IF THE FAR RIGHT GOVERNMENT HAD ACCEPTED THE OUTSIDE HELP AND ASKED FOR IT.
The ""leftist"" central government can't do anything if the Generalitat doesn't ask for help, because the far right made sure that the leftist central government couldn't do it during the last national crisis - the pandemic.
"Don't make this about politics" but it was a far right politic who cut funds from public services that would've saved lives. "Don't make this about politics" but it was a far right politic who tried to shut down the AEMET. "Don't make this about politics" but it's a far right government that is refusing help, arresting people who are shoplifting basic necessities, and telling volunteers to leave because the fucking King wants to take a stroll through the disaster zones.
"Don't make this about politics" but the far right kills. The far right is the direct responsible of thousands of deaths.
if you're learning how to cook or branching out or feel like you just are not a very good cook or can't cook at all it is so important to know that when experienced cooks say they're measuring with their heart they are lying to you. They are measuring with their intuition, instinct, and experience, all of which are built by following recipes (written or taught by family), experimenting a lot, or some combination of the two: no matter how they learned, they learned it through cooking way more than you have. If you're trying to cook based on instinct or the assumption that you should just be able to figure it out and you don't like how your food comes out or you don't know where to start, find recipes and follow them to the letter. There is nothing wrong with looking up how to scramble eggs or make a stir fry. It will make your cooking better and easier, I promise.
1/30 days of productivity
Today I'm drawing for my introducción a la forma, which I don't really know the translation in English, but is basically drawing a lot. Like all of my classes I love it, but it is hard af, this is my field note book in which I have to do at least 3 drawings every week and I have another 2 assignments for this class, but I still love my career.
Day 8/30
Okay, today I'm way better than last week to be honest so I'm posting two photos of my final assignment in volume, the first one is the "definitive" one and the second is before my teacher did any kind of intervention. I'm quite happy with the result.
For one of my classes I'm having to do a replica of an object, and I'm doing a bell, which had to menguante due to technical problems, but no problem because it's still cute.
enough of pretty aesthetic notes, i want messy, shitass handwriting, chaotic notes only you can understand
