    School Sucks

    Well, this is (checks watch) a good month and a half overdue, but that's always par for the course.

    So, as to writing, while I was optomistic about this year and how much I would get out, I'm afraid I'm going to have to lower expectations.

    Tube-Tober 5: Encounters of the Spook Kind, X-mas Special Pt. 1

    Almost forgot about this. This year is a two-parter, so one vid today, another tomorrow.

    Also, there's probably going to be a chapter on the 1st now as well, because this thing just. Keeps. GOING.

    A True Month of Midnight

    Yes, I have managed to do it, folks. December 2023 will indeed be a Month of Midnight! Magical Mystery Cure (or my VERY loose version of it) is taking three chapters to complete again, so the release schedule will not strictly be the last two Saturdays of the month, but I think you'll like it anyway:

    Dec. 23rd - Chapter 11
    Dec. 27th - Chapter 12
    Dec. 31st - Chapter 13

    Requiem for the Kirins Postscript

    Hey guys! You know what would be funny? Me actually posting things I said I would and on time! *Starts laughing like a lunatic*

    I think my brain decided to take vacation early after National Writing Month. My ability to concentrate lately has been equal to that of a wet fart. Fun Times.

    SO! On to the postscript.

School Sucks · 1:35pm March 21st

Well, this is (checks watch) a good month and a half overdue, but that's always par for the course.

So, as to writing, while I was optomistic about this year and how much I would get out, I'm afraid I'm going to have to lower expectations.

See, to try and make a long story short, I'm trying to get into a Masters program so that my job will give a raise that (hopefully) will be a living wage (I can currently pay all my bills but in no way own a home or even rent). I, however, can't start one because the GPA I graduated with getting my Bachelors was too low, so now I need to take classes to get it up enough to enroll.

The good news is that, since myself and everyone in my family works for a college/university, I get to take all my classes for free (except for buying books. Apparently no-one is safe from that hoo-ha). I'm also only taking one class at a time.

The bad news is that, according to my sister who works in Admissions, I would need to get As in every class I take for the next two years to get my GPA high enough to enter into a Masters program. I also chose to take Chem I as my first course, which I didn't to too well in the first time around.

It has not been fun. It also requires a lab, so it's like I'm taking two classes.

It's been taking a lot more of my time than I thought it would and I've had to back-burner several things, including writing. I'll get to it as much as I can, but it looks like there might not be something for some time again.

Well, off to centrifuge some E.Coli

Ugh, that's terrible. I have to wonder if it's even worth it to be honest, 2 years for not even a guarantee of improvement? Also I'm pretty sure you can get the learning needed from the internet for free, you don't need a shiny graduation piece of paper as most employers just care if you have experience.

Still, I wish you luck, and I now I can look forward to a pleasant surprise of an unexpected chapter whenever that happens.

It will be nice when u can upload again. But for now just focus on your studies and just take them one day at a time. No need to stress about it cause stress just leads to mistakes which leads to a near never ending cycle. Good luck :twilightsmile:

Hope it goes well for you!
