My professor ripped apart my essay, which I had honestly felt had a really solid argument. I don't even get all of his criticisms. He actually wrote in his notes that it was "very disappointing" that I didn't use him as a source. I'm not saying he gave me low marks because he was mad I didn't include his work in my argument, but I'm timidly suggesting it. I tried to use his work, but honestly, it had nothing directly to do with the topic I was focusing on, and I ended up deleting it because I had a strict word count limit. I'm feeling really down, because my essays for my other classes went really well, and this much lower score is going to affect my overall marks. Just seriously bummed, and trying to convince myself that maybe my paper really wasn't that great and I deserved the low mark, and trying to make myself feel better by thinking he's horrible and unfair is extremely immature of me... but I'm just frustrated. The entire class grade was that paper, and I feel like I blew it.

It's not immature of you to try to improve your mood by thinking that he's horrible and unfair, because he is horrible and unfair. Seriously, who the hell comments on their student's paper by saying that it's "very disappointing" that the student in question hasn't used their work as a source?? This is a major dick move, and I wouldn't respect a professional who does that.

As a more or less chronic overachiever, I know how much of a disappointment such a thing can be. I'm sorry. I hope it doesn't have any major practical consequences for you in the long term.

I hate professors like this. They're fucking impossible to write papers for. I had an English prof who was legit the fucking worst. I actually decided against pursuing my minor (after I'd already finished my major requirements and could graduate) because he was teaching one of the classes I needed.

Maybe some day I'll read in the paper that he's fuckin' dead and I'll go back and finish my minor.

I've twice described to my friend that I am very busy with work and have not had time to play games. He messaged me twice last night asking me if I could help him with some Pokemon stuff. I love you friend, but I am not exaggerating when I say I work until 7pm and don't have time to pick up my 3DS, alright?

Also my other friend has been ignoring me in favour of her new boyfriend which I wouldn't mind so much if she'd actually say something like 'Will talk later, have a date tonight' instead of ignoring me for days, especially since the last few times she picked up her phone to talk to me since have been to rant about crap.

My sister has a history of shutting me down if I tell her that she's hurt me in anyway (politely and calmly I might add). She stops responding to messages and will only talk to me in the blandest most generic terms. She won't tell me why she does this, or what the problem is.

Anyway, after holding my silence for many years and just pretending everything was fine regardless of how she behaved, a few months ago she hurt me badly with her actions (long, complicated, involving me being in hospital). This time I couldn't sit on it, so I messaged her and calmly explained I was upset and why.

I haven't heard from her since. I don't expect to unless I apologise and retract my statement.

So now I have to choose between cutting my sister out of my life or being her doormat for the rest of my life. It's cutting me up in ways I can't describe. God help me, I love her any way and just want her to talk to me about why she shuts me down like this.

I posted here a week or two back, but I can't complete Dragon Age Inquisition after 80 hours in, because the game suddenly started lagging, out of the blue, to under 10 FPS. I have a new laptop, but am not too tech savvy, so have wasted hours and hours trying to find solutions for a Nvidia graphics card that stopped running, and been in touch with my laptop's people to problem solve. They eventually had me reset my computer, which I did, but the problem still persists and now I need to figure out how to restore my system image and... ugh, this is way above my head. I just want to exchange it or something, but I can't because I bought it in a different country and the warranty is only good there, so any fixes are going to be out of my pocket. And will involve me losing my computer for however long it takes to fix, assuming it can be fixed, and I'm in school and that's just not an option.

Dragon Age is my stress relief, sort of ironic that now it's my problem.

I'm supposed to stay awake from now til a medical test tomorrow at 7AM.

I'm a fucking adult, but I really wish I could get a hug from my Mom right now. This sleep deprivation is not good for my sanity.

Fuck the snow. Seriously, fuck it. This is my last week of my internship, and if I miss too many days I will have to work another week. Plus, I have a pass to see Kingsmen tomorrow, and the trains aren't running which means I can't go. Argh.

Can I complain about myself?

I blew off a social event tonight because I had a lot of reading to do for class tomorrow. Instead of doing it like I planned, I fucked about on the internet for four hours. Doing nothing, nothing worth mentioning, just refreshing stupid websites over and over again and reading/watching things I don't care about.

There's this person in an RP I'm on. Just recently in a private conversation, she got on me about how I played my character in a chat thread with someone else. and like critique is one thing but she's looking over stuff I posted and like "this is wrong, this is wrong, this is wrong" before I can even explain.

When I show that I'm exasperated with her she tells me "don't you 'groan' at me."

We eventually worked it out when I finally got a chance to explain, but it bothers me that she does this. I've been in the fandom for this show longer than she has. But I feel like if I tell an admin about it, she'll spin it as "[name} just can't take critique"

Bonus: One time I critiqued her playing was literally when she started the conversation. and it ended in her getting testy. I mean she apologized later, but still.

I've gone back to an old fandom since my current one is exhausting me, but it seems like there's no one left in it, and that makes me really sad.

I want to RP, too, but that definitely seems like it's not happening.

I have a crush on a classmate who is below my personal minimum age rule. Yeah yeah, age is just a number, but seriously, I'm not interested. It's not love obviously, but just that stupid gooey feeling that bursts out on totally random people. Venus is blind, alas.

Well, it drives me nuts when people stand behind my computer at work while I'm on my lunch break and trying to read my email/write fic/read my Facebook feed. It's not at ALL their fault, I work in the main office area so they're just doing their jobs, but it's so awkward.

I can't get any shit done. Nothing. I didn't even manage to shower today.

Also my family doctor is retiring - I never had another one, this one knew me since birth, and i really hate the idea of getting a new one I might not like.

I'm almost done with my degree and I realized that I fucking hate the major I chose but it's too late to do anything because I'm poor. I already changed my major once and it screwed up my semester-schedule to graduate.

I just don't like doing anything and the college I go to (again, I'm poor) doesn't have a wide variety of degrees it offers, so I'm pretty much stuck with this major I hate in a field that I don't understand or have the patience for. Even worse, my family is expecting a lot from me because I'm the first in my family to go to college and I can't disappoint them by saying "Nah this isn't my thing, sorry."

And on top of that, I'm horrible at handling stress so I've been getting little sleep and I've been more irritable than usual. I don't like this, but I just have to suck it up and deal with it.

My mother passed away a few months ago. Before she and my brother and I were living in the same house. After she died my dad moved in because he got kicked out by his gf and his name is technically on the house. I didn't want to live with him so I moved in with a family friend who said I could stay with them. The family dogs stayed at the house with my dad and brother. Fast forward two weeks and my dad said that if I didn't take the dogs and my mom's stuff he'd get rid of it all. So now I have 2 large breed dogs and boxes of stuff while living in someone else's house. Meanwhile my dad is still ranting about throwing stuff away.

I'm demotivated. About everything. Completely. I want to drop literally everything and everyone (well, except for my twin sister) and run away from here. I'm not sure I want to continue my major, I don't know what college I want to transfer to, I'm stuck in a writer's block, and I continue to feel like a failure at life.

I'm not interested or passionate about anything anymore. I feel like I lack direction or purpose and the only thing I'm good at right now is laying curled up in bed staring at the wall. Or crying. I've been doing a lot of crying.

At this point, I have no idea what's wrong with me. I just want it to stop. Or for everything else to stop so that I can find the urge to move again.

My roommates are really entitled and whiny about their classwork. They put in minimal effort then bitch when their professors think they need to try harder. We are all juniors in college, I don't see why they are still complaining about having to actually work in their classes.

I'm too upset not to talk about this, but I'm also too upset to go into detail. Suffice it to say. I hate my mother so much. I don't know why I had to be born to her of all people. Every time I think about how long it will be until I can cut her out of my life forever, I want to die.

A guy I just started dating tells me he wishes he could see me more often, doesn't want me to feel like a booty call, but then says that he doesn't want to hurt me. I act tough and understanding in person, but really I am hurting all over about this. I just wish he would make up his mind already to either go with the flow or dump me. I like him too much and all this suspense is killing me.
