I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, shit, SA, that's wretched. I do remember you mentioning it in passing before, and I remember thinking, "Well, that sounds too ridiculous to come to anything; obviously it'll all get straightened out."

Gah. You so do not need the stress and the stupid stupid battle right now, and you so do not deserve that un-grade.

What the fuck is wrong with the world?

I think the problem is stupid people.

SA, take a deep breath, smite her and enjoy graduation. You will probably have to go over this woman's head, to the department chair, and possibly a number of deans with your complaints, but the F will be removed one way or another.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I seriously can't think about it right now, because I have the most challenging final of all of my classes today at one. But I'm so fucking mad I'm shaking, a little, and I cannot believe this bitch had the temerity to give me this grade. I will have to deal with it this summer, but fuck, man. My gpa is down a whole tenth of a point for this.

SA do you have time to take a jog, or a brisk walk to work off the shakes?

It will pass. But what a day, right? Three days until graduation and she springs this bs on me.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

That is the suxxor, SA. I had something similar happen to me way back when. I gave in too easily. I should have fought it harder. Does your school have an ombudsman? Anyway, the good news is that in the big scheme of things, it meant nothing. It hurt my pride and sense of justice, but I'm here, I'm living my life and I'm fine. You will be too.

Someday, SA, it will be reduced to A Story and nothing more. I changed my transcript retroactively to include/exclude classes at least twice after grades were entered. It just takes the right Dean and a little persistence.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

{{{SA}}} I am so sorry you are dealing with that love.

IOmemememeN:

I got accepted! I'm going back to school!!!

Which, kinda ironic with everyone graduating this week!
