a 1k wordcount is hobbling, I say

[0dense]

I have now turned in 2/5 finals, clocking in at just over 4k words fed to turnitin. The other three courses are much lighter in volume, and I've got two more days to finish before going back in to hand them over.

apologies for liveblogging finals, I just need some sort of benchmark of productivity, and progress looks a lot better typed up than the 'how many words to go' post-it note I've got hanging on the wall next to me
I crave that sweet sweet validation

no, you're 100% valid.

i couldn't tell you what a hydrochlorofluorocarbon was if there was a gun to my head, great job.

when are you done? i only have until thursday.

they're the ones that ate a hole in the ozone (or contributed to it in a big way)! like remember when everyone phased out propellant cans and stopped putting freon in things, that was the CFC phase out into HCFCs, and now I know that they're being replaced in turn with HFCs bc they're even less of a mess.
the last unit for this course was on risk-benefit analysis and prof really wanted an example of greenhouse gasses, so I just pulled them back up; I grew up sorta adjacent to a lab so I remembered that much, but I really don't properly know anything more than I pulled up tonight :_D

technically my last due dates are on thursday, but I need to go back onto campus to turn them in so I should be done on weds x.x
we're nearly there though! this is the last push! have you got fun topics at least?

[casualbird]

oh, interesting! one never really thinks of things like that. how much thought goes into everyday products.

my topics are alright. i only have the one paper to finish, and then a theology exam. i go to a catholic school so im required to take so........ much...... theology....... but it's interesting, i don't really mind.

we can do it!

omg I did catholic school up before high school! it's yeaaaaah a Lot lol, but I'm glad my folks sent me there, it was def interesting.
and like, I didn't appreciate it then, like I couldn't see the forest for the trees, but now I'm in metaphysics and things at public school ($$$) and having a real grasp of one system of thought is actually great context to build everything else off of. it comes back in funny ways!

yeah, i appreciate being able to learn about religion, since it's not something i am personally involved with. i wish there was less of an emphasis on christianity, but im taking a course on islam next year that im super excited about.
