We are talking about disabilities in my tutorial and I am listening to the stupidest things.
People are saying so many offensive things and basically grouping all disabilities together. Everything is being spun in a negative view with the idea that it’s society’s fault and we can’t do anything about it. We are specifically speaking about aborting a fetus because of a disability. They are saying how they would abort a fetus if it has a disability because society is cruel.
This is a women’s studies course! Do you really think the women in the suffrage movement just sat around and said “oh well, that’s society!” No. They stood up for their rights and challenged the norm. A disability isn’t bad, it’s just different from the norm that’s highly upheld.
And don’t refer to people with disabilities as “them” or “those people”. Just because you have someone in your life who has a disability, doesn’t make you an expert.
Come on people. Smarten up.
FUCKING MONDAYS, AM I RIGHT?
DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH COFFEE IN THE WORLD TO HELP ME RIGHT NOW. I WAS UP UNTIL 4AM LOOKING AT INTERIOR DESIGN BLOGS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I’M NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO PAINT MY APARTMENT.
THE INTERNET IS THE WORST FOR THAT KIND OF THING. ONE TIME I WENT ON WIKIPEDIA TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE DRUMMER FROM DEF LEPPARD’S NAME AND I ACCIDENTALLY GOT A DEGREE IN NEUROBIOLOGY.
TELL ME ABOUT IT. I WAS TRYING TO DOWNLOAD SEABISCUIT AND NOW I’M AN ORDAINED MINISTER.

Is there really a point to coming to lecture if you show up half way through without a pen or paper or laptop?
Seriously.
People are ridiculous.
This guy shows up halfway through with nothing to take notes with and expects me to provide him with some.
Thank god I am drinking coffee today. I would have tore him apart.
Mondays and I don’t get along well. Idiots and I don’t get along well.
Mix the two together and we have WW3 on a Monday morning.
Excuse me while I curl up into a ball and sleep.
ALSO MY TEACHER IS GOING OVER A NOVEL IN CLASS THAT I HAVEN’T FINISHED YET. SPOILERS. SPOILERS.
Today was ridiculous so I’m curling up and neglecting my duties.
- I finally fell asleep at 2AM. BOOOO.
- Lost my headphones so I had the wonderful pollution of other people’s horrible music.
- My first lecture of the day was Women’s Studies and it was so dull and my prof is just ridiculous. I don’t think she has ever finished all of her slides in the right amount of time. That lecture is painful without coffee. Not to mention, my prof and TA butcher the works of bell hooks.
- People search the weirdest things in lecture. (I don’t bring my laptop because my battery won’t last long enough. This thing is getting old.) The guy in front of me read all about the Sopranos, Rhinos, Tim Wise and more.
- Second lecture? Christianity in Context and it was all review. Honestly, I learned this all in grade 11 and 12. (Mostly because my teacher was awesome, but still.)
- There’s a guy from one of my lectures who has been walking me to my next classes. Tumblr, remind me to be very aware of my actions. Flirting without knowing it? Yeah, that’s me. I’m known for giving wrong messages and I don’t want to do that.
- My Women’s Studies tutorial was even worse. Mostly because I couldn’t sit there and listen. I had to participate. Ugh.
- I got caught in the rain. Full out pouring rain, without a coat too. I was drenched by the time I got to the bus. The bus ride was then cold and crowded. The fan was broken so I had to block the air with a ball of paper.
Tumblr, I’m tired and cranky. I love this hoody and I’m very excited to see The Listener play again. Unfortunately it’s not a house show, but it’s still going to be great!
Send me love, please. I’m cranky.
Hello Monday.
I know we don’t usually get along, but let’s try to smooth things out.
6 hours of lecture and no coffee don’t mix so well.
If I try having fake optimism, will you try actually being an okay day of the week?
Please try to comply.
Thanks,
A Very Tired and Frustrated University Student.
PS: That nosebleed earlier, yeah. I’m going to pretend like that was your way of starting my day off well…
Today was a joke.
It was long, emotional and tiring.
I am forfeiting my run tonight.
BOO MONDAY
i just lost half of my presentation for sunday..
i didn’t save it (i thought i did, but guess not) and my computer crashed last night.
as if i didn’t hate mondays enough.
….really?!
Can I crawl into a hole and sleep?
I’ve been hanging out with “cool friend” again. We hung out on Thursday and he said and did things that sent the “NOOOOOOOOOO’s**” off.
We went shopping for a long time, and then out for dinner. He bought the entire thing himself. (1st NOOOOOOOOOO). Then we watched went to his apartment to play video games since he had just bought CoD:Black Ops. We also played Smash Bros and watched Dumb and Dumber, (which I believe I fell asleep to). I woke up at 4am and we were cuddling (2nd NOOOOOOOOOO). He made a move on me and I shot him down fast. (3rd NOOOOOOOOOO). He then dragged me to his 8am class, which was boring and frustrating. We then went to lunch because I had to wait an hour before my class. He attempted to by me lunch again. (4th NOOOOOOOOOO). Eventually we started talking about dating or something. He made a comment about how he doesn’t tell girls he likes them but shows them instead. I said that personally, I don’t pick up on things like that and just think the guy is being super friendly or that’s how he is. He said no, especially not if that’s what he has always done from since he met the person. (5th-ish NOOOOOOOOOO because he was super cuddly with me from the beginning). He also told me I’m not innocent and was confused. He basically meant that my touchy-ness leads people on. (6th NOOOOOOOOOO). After, he hugged me goodbye and left. I saw him the next day and a couple of other things happened, but that’s not important.
1. I am dense when it comes to people having feelings for me. I don’t pick up on it easily, but I am getting the idea that he has feelings for me. (But I’m safe because he won’t tell me, right?)
2. I am leading him on… My arm-touches, hugs and so forth. I do that with everyone and I forget how that can be taken a different way. It’s very frustrating because I don’t mean for it to be a “HELLO I LOVE YOU” but they think it is.
3. I’m in a hole because this guy probably likes me and I do not want to date anyone. I am happy being single and not being tied down. I am too busy doing my own thing to want someone else in my personal circle. Sure it sounds selfish, but I don’t want to put time and effort into it right now. I also want to make sure this person that I will date is the right person.
4. AAGGGGGGHHHHH. Go away boys, unless you want to be “bros” or “sis/bro” because really, I AM NOT HITTING ON YOU. Not to sound mean, but please get over yourself.
5. What do I do? How do I always do this?!
**The alarm/radar that alerts me when I have dug myself into a relationship/dating/courting/boy hole.
Okay, I’m typing up a document and it looks like I don’t know how to speak English.
I know I need to get this done. (I don’t give up.)
After some realization, this is all most likely withdrawal from my medication.
I had to up my dose of my meds (With my Doc’s permission. He said if my symptoms don’t alleviate then I should up my dose.) a couple of weeks ago and I ran out before our appointment. Now I’m SOL because he limits my prescriptions, which is… wonderful. Boo.
Dear Co-worker with Annoying Ringtone.
It’s called vibrate for a reason. Turn that garbage ringtone off. I don’t want to hear some tropical beat everytime you get a BBM or text message.
If you fail to comply, I will toss your phone out the window. And yes, I do realize none of our windows actually open, which means, I will go to another building if I must, just so I can defenestrate your phone.
Many thanks,
Jo.
It’s…. Monday. Bleh.
My head hurts and I’m all groggy. I’m at the shelter and I don’t think I’m making a lot of sense.
My brain hasn’t been working. I just had a tea but I don’t think it’s going to help. Honestly, I feel so slow. Earlier, I had to pause while in a conversation to figure out if I was talking or not, and then to see if I was making sense. Eventually, things will probably get blurrier too.
Yeah, I don’t know about today. I need to make a to do list and then leave as soon as I get everything done.
My brain is broken.
Maybe it’s just a case of the Mondays…
Just when Monday couldn’t get any worse…
My nose starts to gush blood and someone stole my Kleenex box. I had to run to the bathroom for rough paper towel and got blood all over my hands, shirt and the sink.
Eventually, I went to someone’s office to get kleenex and they started to freak out. I just told them it was normal and walked away with their kleenex.
Jo + Dry Offices + Mondays = Super duper nose bleed.
Friday can’t come fast enough…
Today is a write off.
No one is in the back office. I don’t even think we have the play room open.
Can I just crawl under my desk and sleep the day away?
Well, Monday just got worse…
The cook makes lunch for us everyday and when I don’t eat her food, she razzes me. I used to bring my own lunch but that changed. There also isn’t anything around here to pick up either, plus she is a really good cook.
I don’t eat beef or pork, and haven’t for 4+ years.
The only food options today have beef and pork in them…
There is a soup, but it has beef stock in it. Beef stock hurts my stomach so much.
Apparently lunch today is a muffin and an orange…
