My uni is staying remote this spring. On the one hand, I’m relieved, and kind of enjoying not having to take the never-on-time public transportation for 45 minutes to campus to and fro.

On the other hand, my research credits aren’t going to earn themselves and more late night shifts at the —- . 🤦🏽‍♀️

Finished!

No, not my degree or my dissertation defense, lol, but my first story!

Normally I’m excited about getting a new phone. Especially since my uncles got me and my cousins all new phones in the family plan. But I just spent 17 minutes writing and plotting only to discover I inadvertently tapped caps lock on. Now I gotta go back and retype because it looks like Yusuf and Nicolo are having really loud and badly misspelled sex. 😂

Waiting impatiently for the new year, work study, even lab!

Finals are over! I won't get my grades until after Boxing Day, but I don't care. I'm freeeeeee! LOL

Except for work. Argh. LOL.

It’s up to 14” so far. Snow howling. Boiler trying to stay above 72 degrees F. Cousin still has to go in to do his rounds. Uncles still have to go in to work. And I still have my first final (of the two) tomorrow.

No snow day here. Sigh.

Shift ended 2am this morning. Studying since 5am. My coffee was not working. I think it’s fake. Stomped around at 5am because I fell asleep on my desk because of fake coffee. Uncles made me pancakes. Cousin dropped off a giant DD iced latte on his way to his rotation.

I have remember to be less grouchy and more grateful after finals week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m grateful most of my professors opted for final papers than give a remote exam. Spare me figuring out if I’m ‘non-pattern’ or ‘coded’ or ‘common exam’ or what? Who? I have two exams this week and they’re either close together or spread apart or what? Huh?

Dear school. I get it. We rushed into remote due to circumstances. But could you at least put exam schedules up IN ENGLISH?!

🤦🏽‍♀️

Long ago, when I said I wanted to cure cancer, someone should have headslapped that 9-yr-old and tell that kid to choose something easier: like an radiological oncologist or a rocket scientist or a ballerina. 😂 My brain hurts.

Still here. With my fic draft. And my homework. And my vaccinations procedural guidelines. And my essay to my academic advisor. And regretting my life choices right now. Or at the very least ordering that medium DD sugar plum swirl coffee for lunch. Gross. 🥴

But I was told I’m getting a holiday bonus. I wasn’t expecting that. Yay!

Still, miss writing kink. LOL And miss you guys. I’m sorry. I’ll be back really soon. I haven’t left our boys.

There's a Friends to Lovers tag! What do you think, guys? Think I should add that into Needs of the Other?

My Manager: “You mentioned you usually don’t have class and lab until late on Wednesday, right?”

Me: “...?”

Me (3 hours into my sudden double shift): 🤦🏽‍♀️

Why do people assume pursuing a PhD means I am qualified to look at your tonsils or confirm you have COVID? I am working in the pharm, true, I have a lab coat on, but I’m not planning to be that kind of doctor! 😂

Hi,

I'm getting ready to somehow cobble my kink fill together to put on AO3. I've been an avid reader, not a poster so a few questions that most likely will insult someone's intelligence here. (sorry)

1. how many tags are we supposed to use on a fic? I've seen 5-20+ (omg) with commentary and meta-level asides.
2. I have a title already in the Kink fill. Am I suppose to use the same title? What if I found something less cliche? Do I list the original in the title under ()?
3. Italics! I have to follow certain style rules for science papers, but what about fic? I've seen it for non-English words, flashbacks and internal thoughts. Are there other instances italics are required?
4. Warnings! It's forced prostitution so I thought it meant Dub-con, but I only found it in the tags, but not in the warnings section. Am I suppose to use Non-con then?

help!
