Some people just shouldn't be mentors.
HUGS SO HARD I want to punch your mentor very hard
I hope she gets in trouble for what she's done, but better yet, I hope your next steps will be easier.

Thanks *hugs back* and I hope so as well, I'm already excited for it (surgical nursing looks really interesting and it's maybe an area I'd like to work in so we'll see ^.^ )

Surgical nursing sounds amazing! Well. I certainly wouldn't go there, considering I went to as medical a field as I can without actually dealing with actual itty gritty, but it still sounds amazing :'D
I hope things go well for you!
...and may any paperwork that might come your way be solved easily.

Ohhhh my Goooooooooooooooood, my portfolio for the AP Drawing exam is due next week and I still have 5 things to do (technically 4, if you count two pieces half way done as one.....) and I take a good amount of time working on my stuff. My art teacher is pretty picky on what we submit, so I've been stuck on one of them for more than a month now. I also have to do a paper for my psych class and study for my APUSH and AP Lang exam that's coming up in the first weeks of May.
After that, I have to do an online class for my foreign language credit. When I took my first online class, I zipped past it pretty quickly, but still though, I'm pretty worried I won't do well on it, especially since it's over the summer and I can't just hole myself up in the library to do work (the one nearest to me is not really in walking distance). And then I need to take the SAT for college plus pulling together applications for it next year while taking five AP classes.................. @_______@
While I really want to get stuff done, I can't get motivated enough to do them and it's just so frustrating I want to take a real break. This growing up nonsense is sucking up my energy... ∠( ´△｀ 」∠)＿
Speaking of which, I really need to finish some stuff done right now, haha....................
Ok, I honestly don't want to get political here or anything. But I'm GENUINELY upset and sick because Bernie Sanders didn't win New York. I wish I could do SOMETHING to support him, but as I'm not even American there's pretty much nothing I can do. I wish I could at least get a t-shirt from the merch store, but you have to be an American citizen or live in America to buy that... It's feels so odd to care THIS much about ANOTHER country's presidential election.

I'm from New York, and my voting district (and actually, the entire area I live in) voted mainly for Sanders.
It seems however that he was unable to make any sort of inroads with the wealthy Manhattanites (predictable). Black and Hispanic voters also didn't go for him either.

That's one of the weirdest parts! Bernie-fucking-Sanders isn't getting many Black people's votes?! The guy who fought for desegregation since MLK! And the voting system itself is out of this world. Here in Denmark we can't even begin to wrap our minds around how the voting system in America has been tolerated for so long.

Yeah, same. I'd vote for Sanders if I could, but seeing as how I lack American citizenship and am Canadian, not much I CAN do except go "good job, Bernie!".
Folks, politics is off-limits for the forum, because it's something that has been shown to get people very upset. (That's because politics tends to wander into areas where good people genuinely disagree on things.) So let's stop it - there are thousands of other places on the Internet where you can talk politics if you want.

I understand, I guess I just wanted to get it off my chest. I wasn't entirely sure if it was against the rules or not, I respect it though.
Every time I start having new symptoms I learn they're connected to the permanent disorder that I have, called POTS. It makes sense, because it's a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, which basically controls everything subconscious that your body takes care of for you, but at the same time it's like... Really POTS? You need to have your hand in *every* cookie jar. WTF.
I really should just leave facebook. It pisses me off so much.
Like today, I was in a dyslexia support group -which I though would be a relatively safe space- and we were talking about an article that uses "they" as a pronoun. Now, I'm NB/agender. I use they/them as pronouns. Someone starts dising on they/them pronouns, and I respond by saying that actually, that's really offensive. The admins response? To remove my comment where I say that what the other people is saying is offensive and a bit of an attack on NB people. GAH. I give up, everyone is clearly a twat.
(I left that group, I refuse to be in a transphobic group)
I just took my boyfriend to the ER. He got a 5150, so he'll be held in a psych ward for 72 hours. Then they'll either release him or hold him up to 10 days. I'm really bad at being alone, so I'm not looking forward to this time apart.
On a lighter note, the word "codependent" just reminds me of this:
