this is just a must-do anyways lmaoGotta stay off FB.
Sounds just like Vancouver unfortunately, so I feel your pain.Living in Ontario makes me want to cryBetween the rising covid cases, our shipment of vaccines being pushed again, obscene rent prices, unemployment rates, and the way people on ODSP are treated the whole thing just feels like a big joke. A really unfunny joke.
+1 on this. I find it so ironic and sad that Canada has been voted the number one country to live in 2021's Best Countries Report. Just goes to show us the true state of the world and how low the bar is, I suppose.Living in Ontario makes me want to cryBetween the rising covid cases, our shipment of vaccines being pushed again, obscene rent prices, unemployment rates, and the way people on ODSP are treated the whole thing just feels like a big joke.

Would you like some help?this is just a must-do anyways lmao
so I saw an email today in my inbox that said my research paper had been graded. you know, the one I worked on for three nonstop weeks, and stressed over constantly because I was afraid of accidental plagiarisms, and literally cried about at least 4-5 times, and made me doubt my sanity on multiple occasions as well as resent writing in general?
apparently I got a C+ on it. I'm not really content with that but it's much better than my last paper, which got an F (0 out of 100 points). my professor said that he could tell I put a lot of effort into it, but he questioned if I had gone to the writing center (and that I needed to go at least 3 times for the writing credit) since my paper was still in quite a rough shape, and I had apparently misspelled some words consistently (first of all, I've gone to see the writing center three times already, and I only have to go three times for the writing credit. second of all, Microsoft Word does an absolutely horrible job of telling me if I've misspelled something and my Autistic/ADHD ass is really bad at skimming through a 3100 word essay to check for spelling errors).
I'm definitely gonna talk w him for a while about this. I've talked to him before about me having trouble writing but maybe it didn't sink in the first time. I'm okay writing shorter essays (like 900-1200 words) and I used to write for fun quite a bit, but ever since I started writing these big essays for college not only have my skills seemed to deteriorate but I really don't enjoy it in any way now. It really doesn't help that his writing requirements are ungodly strict and leaves absolutely no wiggle room at all. now I've gotta go back and fix the essay and just hope and pray that he actually gives me the writing credit, cause if he doesn't then I'm just not gonna graduate am I?
this reminds me a lot of that quote that says "everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish based on its ability to climb a tree it will go its whole life believing that it is stupid."
problem is I've got a pretty good idea on how to do that, but the topic which I'm writing on is pretty narrow and it's not something I was really familiar with at all before this semester started. that, and I'm not the greatest organizer in the world (frequent disorganization a symptom of Autism/ADHD). I appreciate the concern but at this point I think I'd just like to revise the paper based on my professor's notes and turn it in as is. I think as long as I put in all the effort and make the proper corrections I'll get the writing credit. I'll talk w him about that.Would you like some help?
The trick to getting good grades is knowing the right way to structure your response and ensuring that it properly answers the question. You could be the most intelligent person in the class and still walk away with the lowest grade if you haven't mastered how to do that. Good news is that it is something that can be learned. If you are willing to share the question, your essay, and the marking rubric (if he provided one) with me via email I could give you detailed feedback on how to improve it that you could then apply to other assignments.
big mood...must be nice to have a dad that doesn't make you wish you were dead all the time
