Diary of a Chaotic Day: Math, Figma, Funky Classmates, and a Walmart Surprise

-


lol this ai pic is so funny 😂 

Late Post: Written on November 14, 2024

Today was… something, to say the least. It all started with a brutal math quiz 🧮 ➗ that, for some reason, my professor thought could be done in 20 minutes—without a calculator. Seriously? Twenty minutes to solve problems like:

• p² + 11p + 30 = (p + 5)(p + 6)
• b² + 8b + 15 = (b + 3)(b + 5)
• 36 - 25t² = (6 - 5t)(6 + 5t)

These aren’t your basic addition problems—factorizing on paper is a whole other struggle! Tackling them without any kind of help was impossible 🤯. Math class feels like my personal downfall, but I’m powering through as best as I can 💪🏾.

After surviving that, I treated myself to some Green Day coffee ☕ and mini tacos 🌮 with a kick! The coffee was heaven—Green Day’s got a way of summing things up with “American Idiot” and how we’re living in “Troubled Times.”Then I went to the library to work… or at least tried to. I ended up people-watching 👀, sipping my coffee, and staring at the 3D printer (off-limits to touch) 🤖. Eventually, I packed up for web design class. Finally, something to look forward to! 🎉

We’re learning to create social media ads today using Figma. It’s all about the call to action, which is actually pretty fun to figure out. Figma feels familiar, too—its layers remind me of Adobe Illustrator, which I’m comfortable with 🖥️. But, of course, the chaos continued. A girl strolled in almost an hour late ⏰, then had the nerve to ask for a break! The professor had login issues, and on top of all that, one of my classmates seemed to forget the concept of personal hygiene 😷. Three hours in a stuffy room? No thanks—I was powering through with my coffee as my personal air freshener ☕💨.

After classes wrapped up, it was time to get ready for next semester. My schedule looks decent 📅, and I was beyond excited to see that I can take math online! Finally, I can get the help I need without a professor saying no 🙌🏾. I’m all set with three more classes, but I have to wait for my doctor’s paperwork 📝 before winter/spring officially starts. Overall, I’ve lucked out with professors, tutors, and my advisor. My math professor is nice but way too strict about notes 🧐. And then there’s the balance for my classes this semester. I had been planning to go on a study-abroad trip ✈️, but now that money will go toward tuition. Not thrilled about it, but I know it’ll be worth it. I’m still aiming for Class of 2028 🎓, and since it’s a 4-year college, there’ll be so many opportunities ahead 🌟.

After all that, I waited for my mom to get off work, then we picked up my cousin (the birthday guy 🎉) and headed to the Walmart Superstore near him. And surprise—my cousin treated himself to a brand-new TV 📺! He’s been watching everything on a projector, but apparently, his games called for a proper screen. It was a Roku TV with Apple TV and AirPlay already built in! I was kind of jealous, honestly 😅. When I got my Roku TV years ago, it didn’t have any of those features—just the basics. He definitely scored a great upgrade!

By the time we got home around 7, I was wiped out, and naturally, that’s when the cramps hit 😖. Definitely bringing my ibuprofen and tissues tomorrow 🏥 to deal with the chaos of this weather messing with me.

Just when I thought the day was done, I got some amazing news about the study-abroad trip! If I get approved for the EOF scholarship, it’ll cover the $500 program fee 💰—so the only extra I’d need is food 🍔 if I choose something outside of what’s included. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾, because I’d get to visit Czechia, Poland, and Germany 🇨🇿🇵🇱🇩🇪. My passport is already stamped with Mexico, the DR, and Greece 🌎. Exceeding my goals to travel and see the world feels so good, and now I can’t wait to add these new destinations! ✨

Now I’m eating my corn 🌽 and chicken 🍗, too tired to do any more work 😩. Time to rest up because I have class at 9:30 am ⏳.

Closing out this diary entry with a big thank-you to my insulin pump, which keeps me going 💉. Here’s hoping tomorrow is a bit less chaotic!

🧬 Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Neanderthal Exhibit We Never Asked For 🦕

Sometimes, history reminds us where we came from — fossils, ancient bones, and cavemen who somehow evolved enough to invent fire and clothes. Then there’s Marjorie Taylor Greene — living, breathing proof that evolution can backslide like a busted shopping cart on a hill 🛒⬇️. I stumbled across a meme that almost made me choke on my tea ☕💀.  On the left: a hyper-realistic model of a Neanderthal woman from the Museum of Confluences in Lyon, France 🏛️. On the right: MTG — a U.S. Congresswoman who opens her mouth and manages to drag us all back to 40,000 B.C. 🗿 The resemblance? Brutal.  The meme? A savage masterpiece. My reaction? Laughing, cringing, then realizing… this isn’t even satire anymore. This is Congress 🎪. Now before the torch mobs whine about “bullying” 🪧😭, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t about looks — it’s about behavior, mindset, and ignorance dressed up in a blazer with a mic 🎤🧠❌. When you push conspiracy theories, deny science, and treat facts...

Sipping in Solitude: Refreshing Drinks to Keep You Cool and Calm🧉

Hi there 👋🏾 (or not, because we both know I’m awkward about greetings). Let’s just dive in. As someone who thrives on quiet moments and minimal human interaction, I’ve realized there’s nothing better than a refreshing drink to elevate my me-time. 🍹 Whether it’s a cozy night in with a book 📚, a Netflix binge 🎥, or just staring out the window contemplating life 🌧️, the right drink makes everything feel a little more  extra . Recently, I stumbled into the fascinating world of winter citrus, and let me tell you—it’s a whole new vibe. 🍊 There are so many unique varieties I’d never heard of before, like Buddha’s hand, yuzu, and cara cara oranges. I’ve never seen or tasted most of these fruits, but just from looking at them, I can imagine how delicious and refreshing they must be. Like, who wouldn’t want some fancy lemonade made with these? 😍💁🏾‍♀️ Naturally, my introverted self thought, “This would be perfect for making drinks while I enjoy my alone time.” So, I’ve put toge...
