I’m getting a kindle for my goddaughter and want to get her some books except I have no clue what an elementary kid should read. She likes to read but doesn’t have a favorite genre yet, so suggestions of a wide array would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

lmk if you have any questions! i'd love to hear your honest opinion on my chances.

i keep hitting rock bottom. i didn’t do as well as i had hoped for wa2. i know that i last minute studied as always but during the entire wa week i slept after 1am on most days studying. and i failed amath again (17/40) despite amath being the only subject that i was actively working on improving (like i asked so many questions to my amath teacher, got tutored by a friend, my parents got me amath tuition…) and i hoped that my amath would at the very least be a B4 or C5 considering how much i’d tried to work on it.
admittedly i neglected integration and got most of the differentiation questions correct but it scared me that i still made so many careless mistakes that lost me precious marks, and i had also revised integration for like 1.5H on the night of the paper (and i had sjbo and social studies on the same day and slept at 3.45am studying) so i was crazy devastated when i got back my paper. i legit had a breakdown in class and my friend had to sit beside me to comfort me and i felt so rabak the entire day lmfao. and it was the second time crying cause i was crying over another subject last week 💀💀
then i got back physics yesterday. F9. i was kinda bummed mostly because everyone else in my class also said they didn’t study but they all passed (i think i got lowest in class for physics). while i didn’t learn the content at all and legit got the si units wrong it still bummed me out because it feels like everyone is just naturally smarter than i am because they didn’t study and still did well, while when i didn’t study i still failed. and damn badly at that. admittedly my calculations were all correct just the si units were wrong, and my explanations were also all wrong 💀💀
and then i was sick so i didn’t go to school and my friend ended up taking emath for me. she didn’t wanna tell me how much i got but i bugged her because i had accepted my fate alr (during the exam i spent wayy too much time on the first question and was left to rush through ~30 marks worth of questions in ~20 minutes) but i thought i was gonna get C6 at the worst. well no,,, F9. and well she told me to not cry and i promised her that but i did end up crying on call (just didn’t tell her that so she didn’t know that) while chatting with her. emath topics were matrices, probability and statistics. i was shaky with matrices (indication of my ass foundation ig cause everyone ik says it’s damn easy) and i spent 2 hours the night before working my misconceptions and doing practise questions until i got them all correct but for some reason on the day of the paper itself i just. didn’t perform. and the thing is that for wa1 i got an A1. and A1 to F9… what the fuck.
all my friends around me are good at math. i am fucking terrified to touch math because i can’t ’eat the frog’— i tell myself to tackle the hard things but the moment i get stuck on a math question or get lost after following a math lesson it’s like my brain shuts down. it goes, “fuck i can’t do this anymore” and i’m forced to watch myself become more and more of a failure because younger me couldn’t tackle the hard things and work on her maths.
i’ve been trying to move forward only and stop dwelling on the past, but it’s really hard to when you can’t help but want to fuck your younger self up and humble her and knock sense into her so that she actually took her acads seriously. my parents always had high expectations of me and i responded to them by self-sabotaging— i remember they installed a cctv in my room bc i refused to study, and i had several physical fights with my mother; i vaguely remember being dragged across the floor by my hair and her stopping the car and asking me to get out and me also fighting back at her, and my dad calling me hopeless and weak willed and at the time thinking why they were doing this to me.
but well i honestly miss those times. i wish that when my parents installed that cctv in my room that i woke up. i wish that when my dad threatened to call the police on me i woke up. i wish that when my dad called me weak-willed and kicked me out of the dining room when i was stuck on a math question in primary school and couldn’t answer his prompting questions because i was sleepy and expected him to just point-blank give me the answer i woke up and realised that my own behaviour was leading to my downfall. i wish that i didn’t get sick at the start of last year and missed out on valuable lessons to build a proper foundation in my subjects. i wish i was studying rn instead of having yet another breakdown for the nth time this year and ranting to reddit again. some neverending fucking cycle my entire profile’s pathetic
i wish i paid attention in class and didn’t have just a holier-than-thou, inflated ego. i wish i didn’t have this kind of awakening this late, months to my o’levels, with my grades basically confirming that dsa is hopeless for me. because of my fuckery, i didn’t study for sjbo and i don’t think i can get anything. because of my incompetence and my cold i haven’t started studying for sjcho. because of my stupidity i fucked up my entire educational career. honestly right dying rn and reincarnating as someone who can make her parents and herself proud would be perfect. i wish i wasn’t so scared of dying too 😂

I posted this in optometry community already but figured I’d post it here to since what I am nervous about are the clinical exams
Hey! For context I just finished my junior year of undergrad and am taking the OAT in July. I’ve dedicated a lot of time to my dream goal of being an optometrist. However, I had strabismus and refractive amblyopia from like 4th to 10th grade. I ended up getting the corrective surgery at 16 to fix the lazy eye part of it all but was unable to afford any kind of LASIK. I still am unable to see out of my left eye (even with corrections). However my right eye has great vision (20/20 when corrected).
Overall, my prescription type is single vision. OD: (SPH)-1.25, (CYL)-1.00, Axis 9. OS: (SPH)-1.25, (CYL)-2.75, Axis 169. NV-ADD none. PD 67.
Will this affect my ability to pass clinical and what not? I was watching the day in my life video of optometry student and that thought came to mind. (My dream schools is UHOC).
Just to reiterate like I can not see anything but blurred figured out if left eye.
I figured the best people to ask would be optometrist. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

This is what I posted on the board game community in Korea, and I'm also translating and posting it on Reddit!
The translation and text inspection took a long time, but I'm posting it because I think croquinol gamers from other countries will enjoy reading it.
(I don't know how to put pictures in between when writing on Reddit. If you're curious about pictures while reading, please visit the link below. You may not understand Korean, but pictures are visual information so they can be understood universally)

Not long ago in early May, I ran a croquinol booth for students and parents at a Children's Day event (it was held on the grounds of the University of Education)
The head of the school affairs department suggested, "I heard you like board games, do you want to run a booth?" so I thought very hard. Actually, it was bothersome.
In the end, I accepted because I wanted to make good memories with children as well as selling croquinol. At first, I thought it was easy to take a few croquinols and play a few rounds.
It wasn't long before I realized that the idea was very wrong. This is because there were so many things to consider operating the booth. The program should be organized in consideration of the number of users and the number of people visiting.
The arrangement of objects and the movement of people should also be considered. I shouldn't think, 'I'm done explaining the game to the students in moderation and watching them play.'
I have to think about the details. I thought about it until the day of operation and right before it started. Now that it's been decided so far, I'll have to recruit staff to run it together (this was the most difficult problem)
Finally, find out the products to give to the visiting children and purchase them, purchase notices to be installed in the booth, and other things necessary to proceed or make them
For two weeks, I spent a lot of time and energy thinking about and preparing for how to operate the booth. I thought a lot about what to give as the prize, but it was finally decided to go down
(1) Pokémon Key Chain Pokémon is definitely a successful IP!!
I decided it right away because it looked so pretty and the quality looked good. There were some that were really cheap, but the quality was really... It was a pity, so I put in more budget
(2) ritter sport chocolate It's economical because there are 200 in a pack I tried one to see if it's poisonous What????? This chocolate tastes pretty good...
(3) Crockinol Pencil (Steadler + Engrave) Originally, I didn't want to give pencils, but if I imprint them and give them to students, I thought they could remember croquinol for quite some time, so I made it meaningful.
If you look closely at the pencil, you can see the image of a disc bouncing with a finger. (○ ● ☜) I made it using the basic characters on the keyboard. Haha.)
It took a long time to think of the word 'dream tree' in the engraved phrase. (Offered words: rookie, genius, child, master, king, god, etc.) Since there are no other people to help me, I planned and produced a lot of things by myself.... lol
I recruited the operating personnel as follows
Head of the school affairs department -> Recruit me (one-person planner and business manager): Let's compare and analyze croquinol sales and rest at home and then experience it. Decided
Me-> First cast (S teacher): A versatile teacher who has been in the next class since we met in the 6th grade this year He became interested after being introduced to Crockinol by me. Enjoying Crockinol at home with his wife. Canadian style. (He said he was doing it without giving it away.) After receiving a proposal from me, "I'll do all the preparations, so please come and let the children know the games without any burden," he decided to participate after much consideration. I'm playing with my kids in the classroom, and my croquinol skills are increasing rapidly. I'm planning to promote the entire 6th grade croquinol competition later.
Second cast (Teacher C): My younger brother who met as a manager and a staff member at my last school and became very close. The same person who said in an old article that he helped move the classroom!
Together, we played about 400 rounds of croquinol 1:1 match. He made a lot of mistakes in his early days, but after hundreds of editions, he became enlightened at some point. He has become quite a master.
His powerful shots made a lot of crazy scenes. Among them, he sent five discs of his opponent to a ditch at the same time. When he was asked by me to help him, he accepted without hesitation. (He is expected to participate in the next event.)
Third cast (Teacher K): I am a teacher from another region, and I am close to him because I got to know him in a club. She was the last to be recruited, and she suggested liter port chocolate and keychain among the product ideas. Pencils were also highly recommended when I was thinking about it.
Lastly, he volunteered after seeing me thinking about recruiting one more person.
She's the only teacher who doesn't have a croquinol, and she doesn't usually have a chance to train, so she's still a beginner's skill.
Rather, a person who is expected to revitalize the booth operation because of that. (If teachers do too well, all students lose.) For the record, she has a board gamer gene that can also play Arcnova board games.
※ In addition, there is a sad history of rejection and subtly falling over during the recruitment process.
And I started setting it up on the day!! Visit early with teacher C and install one croquinol on three tables in the tent
At first, I was worried because the table was in the shape of a rectangle, but I could put things here and there. If you put the croquinol at an angle on the table, it was possible to conduct a 2:2 team, so there was no problem.
After I finished setting up, I sat down for a bit and tried a croquinol test. Played without any problems. The shot was even better because I told them to cut their nails, including myself.
However, there was a lot of dust on the tables and chairs provided by the company, so I hurriedly cleaned them. The remaining two operators also narrowly joined, and a total of four people were matched.
After that, I had time to start operating the booth as a whole They're here...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The name of the booth was 'Gather up here if you're confident in flicking', but I think I drew some aggro. Other places looked healthy like making animal bracelets, but our booth was like, "You! Come if you're confident!"
The booth was originally planned like this Planning the rules of the game: - If you feel uncomfortable, you can stand and shoot freely - In the case of 1:1, the original use of the 1/4 shooting line based on North America and Canada, rather than the use of the 1/2 shooting line that changed the rules in Korean company Korea Board Games. - A student who is too young is forced to shoot with a line forward. Two places are experience seats and listen to and experience the rules 1:1 or 2:2 (Parents and friends can participate together) - The experience gift is one litre pot chocolate - Rule Description -> Shot Practice -> consists of a two-game friendly
If you have learned the rules through the experience, go to the challenge seat of one place and challenge 1:1 or 2:2 (you can also participate together) - If you win, you'll get a Pokémon keychain, even if you lose, you'll get a 1/3 chance of a keychain and a 2/3 chance of a pencil through a lottery - Using one chance card, we will proceed with two sets, and if the student draws or wins even one set, it will be considered a victory. - Re-challenge possible when you line up again The booth gradually gathered and filled the corner, and the line got longer
I repeated the explanation and game so wildly!
The first episode : Even though it was in the shade of the tent, the temperature was high, so the chocolate melted. The student said it melted, so I touched it and it was liquid! Unfortunately, we can't give these defective products to students, so we decided to go to the challenge seat without giving them away in the experience seat.
The second episode : Our classmates are here! I heard a voice saying, "Teacher!" and I can see the 6th grade girls in my class
Of course, we played the game. I tried to lose, but I thought that if I lost too much, the student would notice, so I made mistakes from time to time, but these guys made more mistakes!
It ended with me winning or drawing (I should have made it more clear and lost... lol) I said, "This is just an experience seat, so it doesn't matter, show your real skills in the challenge seat," and sent the girl to another corner
The third episode : People were buzzing that a very famous politician visited the booth next door. (He was Korea's presidential candidate.) I looked up and saw the face that I saw on screen Although I was curious, I had my day job as a board gamer, so I welcomed students and focused on explaining the rules. Later, I found out that he talked to a student who experienced our booth and passed by
The 4th episode : The booth operators were not given a separate lunch break! It was announced that they would take turns eating lunch boxes. There were quite a few people... and I barely had time to eat. One person will be in charge of one booth, and one person will take turns eating I'm the type to eat slowly while tasting the taste, but I didn't have much time to relax on this day, so I sat on the stand and came back in a hurry that I couldn't even feel the taste
The fifth episode : There are so many people, and especially in the case of the challenge seat, the waiting line is longer, so to solve the bottleneck, we decided to take both the place and challenge as an experience seat It was the same with the booth I was in. I don't know what this day is... I made more mistakes than usual and often missed shots because I was nervous dealing with children. Hahaha
The 6th episode : The operations staff at the next table said, "A kid came up with a challenge and beat me." He got the prize, of course But after that, the student was still in the viewing room and gave advice to other participating children, saying, "I win all of them," showing a lot of confidence Then the child triumphantly challenged the management staff again! He must have wanted to win again. What was the result? According to him, he showed the dignity of an adult with his skills to children Of course, he gave away a croquinol pencil this time!!
The 7th episode : I explained the rules so much that the script was automatically made "This game is a 150-year-old game of Canada known to have started in 1876.... "In Canada, it's a daily sport that many families have and play throughout their lives, from childhood to grandmothers and grandparents. The rules are simple: if you put it in here, it's 20 points, this is 15 points....." I can't remember how many times I repeated the script above! The eighth episode : There are people who waited for an hour to listen to it while organizing it I've already experienced it and moved to the challenge seat, but the challenge seat lines are too long... Did they feel like they were waiting for a long line in the amusement park... ㅠㅠ Parents were tired of waiting, so they asked to go to another booth, but the child said, "Since I've experienced it, I really want to try it. I want to take a Pokémon keychain!" and waited a lot. It must have been very boring for parents, but there was no other way. I thought the quality of the operation would be very low to just experience/challenge one game at a time 2 play experience + 2 play challenge was the minimum number of plays to feel a little croquinol
The ninth episode : After eating, I heard parents and children talking "This is where we play Alkagi(flicking). Shall we play Alkagi?" "Let's do it!"
If you had written the booth title, "Who wants to play croquinol?" no one would know croquinol, so accessibility would have been low But when the title said "Alkkagi", I was proud of him coming in without any pressure
The 10th episode : The official closing time of the booth was 4 p.m At around 3:50 p.m., I took a breath and looked at other places, and some places had already withdrawn, and I was usually cleaning up, so the atmosphere was clear But our booth is still full It lasted beyond hours Is this the power of crocinol?
The 11th episode : Time has been deleted I was worried about what if time went by during that long time of operating the booth, but it was a mistake. We were so busy explaining and playing that we didn't have time to look at the clock, and when we came to our senses, it was a time when the end was imminent. I couldn't even go to the bathroom for five hours. Because it was hectic, the operation ended without a comparative analysis of 'Are many people visiting other booths? How popular is our booth?' (When I saw the photos and videos later, I could see that our booth was more crowded than other booths.)
The 12th episode : I tried a lot to react to it in my own way. I really complimented the kid every time he hit the disc. I exaggerated a little bit like I became a YouTuber and shouted a compliment chant out loud A young girl who looked like elementary 1 or 2 sat down (around 7-8 years old) I finished explaining the rules, and asked her to practice shooting a few times. After that, we started playing the game. The girl said she would do it first, and she took the first shot of her life's first game. It went straight into the center hole. There was applause from all around. I said, "Even I couldn't put it in at first. It's amazing." Congratulations on your best experience." She's made a lot of mistakes in play since then, but it doesn't matter at all! There's nothing more touching than the first shot of 20 The parents who were nearby filmed this scene and will cherish this meaningful moment for a long time
The 13th episode : There seemed to be something interesting to see other crocinol tables also clapping, wow, oh, oh From the perspective of planning, all these reactions are a gift
The 14th episode : There were a lot of spectators while explaining/playing There were a lot of comments about the rules of the game "You have to hit the disc when it's on the surface" "Oh!" A male parent was glad to hear that he knew croquinol "I knew this game since it came out last year. It was about 110 dollars, but I didn't buy it because it was expensive." (It's more expensive now. It's about $140)
The 15th episode : We allowed a re-challenge in the 'Beat the Teacher' section, caressing the hearts of children thirsty for crocinol Some students tried again 3 times (The challenge itself takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds for the first round, 3 minutes in total, so it doesn't take much.)
The 16th episode : After 4 p.m., I looked at the other booth thinking about when to organize it, and a boy who looked like a fourth grade in the challenge seat was doing very well Her parents were also amazed by it The accuracy of each step wasn't unusual He said he came back to try it out and do it again Looking at the game, he unfortunately lost to Teacher S by 5 points when he made a mistake of 2 turns in the second half Teacher S told the student. " Try it with that teacher. He's the best While sitting down, I asked, "Do you want me to do it with all my strength or not?" I laughed and asked At first, the student said, "Please be generous!" but later changed his words to "With full strength." "Haha, okay. I'll go with all my strength!" The student said he would attack first and tried an open shot and went straight into the center hole "Wow... does this make sense?" I also chased along the disc in the center hole. That's how I tried to hit my opponent's disc in Hogan's alley and accidentally wasted three turns. The result is that the student who leads by 15 points wins... The child liked it very much and came home with a light step with his parents "Thank you for your hard work. Bye!" When I looked at the playground with the back of my family leaving after saying hello, the sun was slowly heading down, scattering light everywhere and giving the lawn a cozy view What could be a more peaceful landscape. He must have felt really good on his way home. I thought he lost well
Finish writing : When I was in college, I ran a different kind of booth when I was the president of a club, but it was the first time I ran it this way in relation to board games.
At that time, there were a lot of club members and the space was very spacious, so the event was held comfortably, but the croquinol booth was operated in a very minimal condition: 1 tent, 3 tables, 3 croquinols, and 4 people in operation
Still, it ended successfully as it exceeded the time without an accident, so considering that it is the first operation under this condition, it should be considered a great success.
The operation of this croquinol booth was planned by myself and prepared for the program, so I have a lot of attachment.
I'm grateful to the three people who ran it together (they were dispatched from each elementary school publicly and privately). As expected, people are the most important.
I'm willing to do it again if I have to participate in the booth event another month this year or if I have to run it again next year. I think we can do it in a better way than now
For example, I dream of running a mini-contest by installing more tables. There's a mini trophy, and I think the kid who got it will really like it. (Of course we need a lot more people than we do now...!)

I (14f currently) absolutely love the Harry Potter series. I have made so many good memories with the books. I remember getting a copy of The Prisoner of Azkaban and being hooked ever since. My 3rd grade teacher had a whole Harry Potter unit, where we made our own houses and competed for the house cup. We read Sorcerer's Stone, watched the movie, etc. These were my first "big kid" books. I remember going to Harry Potter World in Universal. My Harry Potter themed 9th Birthday Party... So much nostalgia.
But, now, with the revelations about J.K Rowling, it feels shitty to still enjoy it. I do see the problematic things in there (like, how the werewolves are supposed to represent having AIDS, and how the house elves are victim to the "happy slave" myth). know to give J.K as little money as possible (like, the only thing I do that could possibly support her is watching the movies on Live TV. I'd buy the books second hand or borrow them from a library or someone else). It doesn't feel like it's enough though. I feel like I have to completely distance myself from the franchise, and stamp out any enjoyment whatsoever, to be a good person. It seems impossible though, because I made a lot of friends BECAUSE I love Harry Potter (in a sense that we both have that in common). What do I do?

I'm polish but i've read great gatsby and it's alright. But i've seen an epizode of South Park where someone starts Reading great gatsby and everyone is super bored and acts like it's the longest book ever created. And i'm confused because in Poland we have to read books twice that big in 4th grade.

LATEST CONDITION REPORT FROM ASHER’S FATHER: — Just had rounds with doctor. He’s more stimulated today which has positives and negatives. Is having what looks like seizures, but neuro says they don’t register as seizures. Gave anti-seizure medicine to try and let him rest and calm those down. — While we’ve made some small progress, still not seeing what the doctors are hoping to change prognosis in any way — MRI hopefully later today to see if swelling is subsiding. — Specific prayer requests for gagging reflex and coughing to stimulus, increased breathing on his own, no seizures. — Doctor yesterday said he wouldn’t survive his injuries. Today’s message is we are giving his brain all the tools to progress, but we aren’t expecting recovery. In context, that sounds awful, compared to yesterday it’s a very minor step. —— CONTINUED THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR THIS BOY. Asher Sullivan continues to fight for his life. He is the ten-year-old, 4th grade son of Rutherford County, TN Director of Schools Dr. Jimmy Sullivan. After the storms and heavy rain Wednesday Asher got caught in a storm drain and was swept under the neighborhood streets. He eventually came out in a drainage ditch and CPR was administered for quite some time. His heart beat was re-established, but the damage is substantial. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? A post was shared with me by the family where this occurred. They tell me: “I know many people don’t under stand how this happened and it truly was a tragic event.” Here is the description by those who witnessed it: —- Josh and I have had a lot of people reach out to us about the event that took place at my parents’ house during the storm. After the storm was over the whole neighborhood was outside assessing the damage to their homes. My parents yard has always been one of the hangout spot for all the boys in the neighborhood. All the boys started gathering in my parents yard and looking at how flooded it was. On the side of the house there is a big drain that goes under the road. There were a bunch of parents out and we had all told the boys to stay away from the ditch. Asher's shoe started floating away and naturally he went after it. My husband Josh saw this happening and immediately ran after Asher to stop him from going under water. Before Josh could get to Asher, Asher was under water. Josh dove into the ditch and grabbed Asher's arm, but the water started taking both of them away. Josh was able to grab on to the concrete part of the drain and pull himself up while still holding onto Asher. Josh was screaming for help and I ran over there to go help pull Josh out and slipped into the water. I was pulled out immediately. Josh still had a hold of Asher's arm but he eventually slipped away. Madden Moltz saw that Josh needed help and jumped in immediately too to help Josh but the water was too strong and started sucking Madden in. Josh was able to get Madden out safely. It took a couple of guys to pull Josh from the drain. When Josh got pulled from the drain he instantly ran with a bunch of other men to go find Asher to see if he had come up through the other drains. At this time all the paramedics and police have shown up and were all searching. They found Asher at the end of my parents neighborhood and started CPR immediately and were able to get a heart beat. Praise God. Josh came back to the front yard and dropped and immediately started crying and praying a long with so many others in the neighborhood. I just ask for anyone reading this post that you stop what you are doing and Pray for Asher and the Sullivan family. Pray for complete healing and peace over their family. Our God works big miracles. Please also pray for Josh and Madden that God brings them peace. —- AT LAST REPORT ASHER REMAINED IN VERY SERIOUS CONDITION.

mero bhai likes video games like roblox(he’s a pro at this)and stuff, he’s also an ipad kid, always on his phone. what should gift him guyss??ps:- he’s in 4th grade

Hi! I’m doing SCI1000 next semester since its a compulsory unit and I have to do it at some point. It is a pass or fail unit but does the grades I get from there contribute to my WAM/GPA?

Hi all. I just want to speak all this out into the world of unbiased nurses who don’t know me, to either feel validated or be told to suck it up buttercup, lol. Background: At the time I was in my third of four semesters of nursing school and had worked as a tech in a Level 1 Neuro ICU for 5 years. I already had an RN Apprenticeship lined up on my unit for my capstone in the following semester, and all As in my third semester classes.
So, for our clinical course in my program, it consisted of three separate parts: clinicals (7 total), skills, and simulations (5 of them). Our skills lab was three 8 hour days to learn 8 skills: IV start, IV medication push, primary fluid, secondary fluid, blood administration, central line dressing change, central line blood draw, and central line clave change. After that, we are assigned a day to pass off four of those skills at random through a video camera. If we fail a skill, we get to redo it once or fail.
I failed my first attempt of my CVC dressing change because I failed to notice a drop of saline on the table from my previous skill and it seeped through the packaging of my sterile gloves when I opened them. (fair enough). For my reattempt, I had to use the mannequin that we had just done our trauma simulation on which was a fucking mess and the central line was basically in the back of it’s shoulder. Basically not set up like any of our practice mannequins or previous pass off mannequins. I am then told I failed my reattempt and got to watch my video with my instructor. She had to MAX zoom in and replay it 5 times saying, “do you see that your chloroprep stick grazed the pillowcase right there? The pillowcase quivered.” I squinted and kept replaying it and yep, I guess my chloroprep stick grazed the pillowcase on the pillow I admittedly forgot to remove.
This grading process was so drawn out that by the time I was told I failed my pass off reattempt, I had already finished all 7 of my clinicals and all 5 of the simulations with an A still, but I was told I would have to repeat the whole course and not move on to 4th semester because of this CVC dressing change pass off. I couldn’t even move on with the didactic courses, just a whole semester of repeating this one course. Also I will add, they did this to 7 out of 24 students in my cohort. Yep, they made 1/3 of our cohort repeat a semester.
I am close with all my nurses at work and they all couldn’t believe that a nursing school would do this over 1 skill pass off. Some thought I was lying because of the absurdity. There was no instructor helping me to master the skill or even practicing with me. That was it. I had to tell my manager to extend my RN apprenticeship start date 4 months, and the whole thing was almost humiliating. One of my nurses said I should speak with the ombudsman over the university and some nurses said I should sue, I didn’t do any of it though and I regret not fighting for myself harder.
Now it’s 4 months past and I’m finally starting my apprenticeship, but it still bothers me. I’ve had new instructors pity me and tell me they’ve never failed a student for a skill and that they’re sorry it happened to me, but it just doesn’t sit right with me still. Anyways, that’s my long sob story and feel free to humble me in the comments if that’s what I need haha.

I couldn’t find a sub for college advice in Scotland, so if anyone knows one that’s more appropriate for this I can move this there
So we’re about 2/3 through the final semester, and we’ve found out we’re missing Monday every week for the rest of the course due to strike action. This will heavily inconvenience all students of this course because it means we can’t work on anything in college or get marked on those units. This means we will most likely fail since we’ve not finished the assignments
I will also be missing additional days due to a recent family passing, the funeral occurs in one of the most important days for my graded unit, so I suspect I will struggle to pass that as well
Can I appeal to SQA if I fail for these reasons? I have an offer for a uni which requires I pass both years with a B in graded units. Will they be understanding if this doesn’t happen?

So I am sitting for my AS level this June, I am an international student and sat one AS level which was mathematics last Oct and I got 291/300 which is an A, however I wasn’t really happy with one of the units, even when it was an A, I retook the paper, does this mean that I didn’t do my exams in one set? I got the A from the first time and the second time I got a higher UMS grade, will I be treated unequally?

Hey everyone! So I have always lived in high rise buildings with fantastic management, amenities, and maintenance. But I had a baby last year and decided it was time to move to a quieter and safer location. The apartment itself is very nice and has everything we need as a family, but it keeps having somewhat minor issues. I’m genuinely not sure if these issues are to be expected and I’m just spoiled, or are these real problems I need to address?
I’m not sure if this matters, but this is a middle class, mildly upscale, complex with about 1500 townhouses and apartments split in smaller buildings, all gated and homey feeling. I will just go ahead and list the issues I’ve had since May 1st.

1. Power went out for about 20 mins. I called emergency maintenance and left a voicemail per my welcome packet instructions, no response or follow up on their end but power did come back on.
   
2. May 4th I submitted a maintenance request because the dryer isn’t working, they came a day later and determined the knob was broken. They ordered parts, haven’t heard from them since. I have been using a power drill to turn the knob and use my dryer as that’s the only way.
   
3. The gas fireplace smokes and sets off the smoke alarms. They checked it out and used a C02 detector and said it’s not leaking. When I asked why it smokes and sets off alarms the maintenance man didn’t have an answer or offer to look at it more.
   
4. The hot water is “private”(?), as in the tank is in my unit and only for my use idk I’m not well versed in that stuff, but it can’t even fill a bath tub with hot water after no hot water being used for hours. This home has two extra large bathtubs and I have a baby so this one does really matter to me. I’ve been going olden days with pots of boiling water to heat it up for my son.
   
5. Breakers short out almost everyday. Not a huge inconvenience but it can be frustrating when I have the oven going and I don’t even realize the kitchen just turned off.
   
6. Phone service in my home is unreasonably bad, but perfectly fine anywhere else in the community. I can’t have phone calls or use data at all in my home.
   
7. Secondary bathtub (my bathtub since the master bath is in the room my son sleeps in) always spews out dark black specks when I initially run it. After it drains the remaining specks leave black smears on the tub, they come off with magic eraser.
   

Am I overreacting and this is all just part of living in more of a townhouse situation? Is this complete bs and I should make a big deal out of it?

believe it or not, i dont want to die sad. but how does one die feeling happy? feeling at peace? i too do not know how, but i want to try to find the answer today. i want to sleep forever, now. so i want to try my best to give you a brief recap of how ive been suicidal and depressed till now.
to be honest i didnt know how it exactly started. when did i feel depressed? no, scratch that. when did i feel sad for no reason? ninth grade. i cant remember the specifics now, but i do remember trying to drown myself, my first attempt of suicide, because of my grades. i was 13, i felt hopeless, my mom got mad at me, and we didnt have the closeness of our relationship that we have now. i became more sad when i reached my senior year of high school, grades 11 and 12. i had my first heartbreak (cliche as it sounds) and i sabotaged all my friendships. i was a bad friend, i was getting into smoking and drinking--i made both of them my coping mechanism. i spent my days lying in bed, crying in the mornings before school started inside the bathroom stalls, i skipped classes and traveled on my own and smoke and drink--people believed i was 18. but i was 16. i was 16, but i felt like my inner machinery was already tarnished. i chased love but turned away the second they showed me that they liked me. i ran away from my friends and used them for my own benefit because i was 'sad' and that they should 'know' that because they were my 'friends'. but no. nobody deserves that kind of treatment. i was never saved that time, never told anyone how i truly felt. but when i did tell i immediately regretted it because they never understood my weight of emotions; i felt invalidated.
freshman year of college rolled through and i thought i was doing fine, but i wasn't. i wanted to be so much that i ended up overexerting myself. when it finally became too heavy for me i stayed out late, drank again, spent the night with my friends and didn't come home. the next day i told my mom that i had this urge to be alone, to disappear, and that my emotions were all so heavy that i was becoming more sad everyday that even i didn't know the reason. before i could say i wanted help, she told me instead the opposites of what i have been saying. 'ah, this must be what invalidation feels like' i thought, and thats when i knew that really, no one will understand what im going through. its the pandemic now, 2020 and im turning 18, the age of adulthood. funny enough months before that i told myself that i wanted to die, and that there was a bleach ready in out bathroom for me to try out. i thought back then, dying at 18 would be nice because it would spare me the pains of adulthood. my birthday came, i felt heavy when i woke up; i finally decided, you know. my mind was made up. but then i woke up and i hear my dad calling my mom on the phone and asking her if i was already awake, my mom sounded giddy, excited, and told my dad that i haven't woke up yet and that there's too much food on the table she's excited on how ill react. i cried. they were downstairs celebrating my birthday but i was stuck in bed thinking of ways to unalive myself. in the end i came down, wiped my tears, celebrated my birthday normally, posed for some pictures, and called it a day. that was the day i started dreading having to celebrate my birthday. same year, october, i called the suicide hotline with pills in my hand, ready to end it all. long story short, more shit happened. called the hotline, texted my cousin i was gonna die, she then called her parents then said parents called my mom. mom caught me, we cried so hard, i told her everything. we became closer then. she was my best friend and still is, and it pains me that im not the best daughter and friend she has. i wanted to take a break from school then, i wanted to see a shrink, but guess what, nothing happened. i went back to classes like nothing happened. my emotions werent compensated. i was doing everything with a broken mind. no one around me talked to me about what happened, only i relived it. i preferred if they talked to me about it, i preferred if i took a break for a while, it would have been nice to talk to someone about, talk about this unending sadness that im feeling; if i did then maybe i could be a tiny bit better. but no. i gave every feeling i had for free.
4 years passed and im still here. what am i now? things were good two years ago, but how about now? i still sabotaged everything, while trying to fix things aside. i tried to live life, but my anxiety just got worse; heck i didnt even have anxiety before. i had everything planned out three years ago, now im lost again. i dont have someone to talk to, i ruined the friendships i built with trust. i ruined my relationships with everyone and i act like the victim in my head. im a fucked up person and i wonder if my sadness and melancholy justifies all this. everyday i live with a weight on my shoulder. id say i want to try my best today with a lump on my throat. i tell my mom im having fun but then i turn to a socially awkward girl alone. i tell her im doing fine but i really want to jump off our unit. im becoming a threat to myself, im becoming so lost that i need something to believe in again. im so lonely, im so alone, but i pushed away everyone else. maybe this is all im meant to be, really. i dont think the blues will ever me leave me, ive been accustomed to feeling sad and hurt all the time that im scared of being happy. does it even suit me?
i need help. i really need to figure out whats wrong with me. ive always yearned for help. i gaslighted myself a year ago that i didnt need it anymore, i still do. but what will i do when no ones listening to me? when my parents care about imagery rather than my wellbeing? when they care about other people telling them that their daughters 'fucked in the head', well i am. and to the people who tells me that i am, well i am, and probably you guys are and your children feels the same too.
what will the girl who dreamed of becoming a beautician think about the girl who i am now? what will my other selves say about me? ill forever mourn the girl who i wanted to be. the writer, the poet, someone who writes for a living and just sits down in her room with a view. i could also work in a library or in a museum, where i could stare at art and write about it. i want to write. and im sorry lola that i didnt get to finish the story i was writing for you. im sorry im not becoming someone you wished to be. im sorry to everyone who i let down. to my mom, you really are my best friend and im thankful to everything youve done for me, and the little things youve done to make me feel better. to my dad, thank you for the sacrifices you made for us, for my education, despite not being there physically. but you know, i had a lot of trauma growing up and carrying them now because of you two. my social anxiety, the way im afraid to speak up, when im asked about something i dont respond, because everything feels like a wrong answer. and a wrong answer always equates to screaming and shouting and punishing me physically for discipline. but dont worry, i guess, i tried to accept it with love. love equals hate, after all. the two of you did your best, but im sorry. i just want to sleep now.
