Professor Igor for the Win!

-

 

Alright, so we’re three weeks into the semester, and if you’ve been following my blog, you know algebra has been my arch-nemesis. 😤 Last semester was brutal—I struggled, went to tutoring, asked my professor for help, did everything I could, and still got nowhere. My previous professor had this whole “it’s easy” attitude, which—spoiler alert—it was NOT. ❌ And to make matters worse, she didn’t believe in extra credit or acknowledging effort. 🙄 Long story short, she failed me, and I had to retake the class.

When I met with my advisor, I didn’t care who taught the course as long as it wasn’t her. 🚫 I ended up having to take night classes just to avoid her, but honestly? Best. Decision. Ever. Because this time around, I have Professor Igor, and he’s a game-changer. 🙌🏾

He actually breaks things down in a way that makes sense. 🧠 But the best part? He gives credit for effort. ✅ Participation, homework, helping others—he acknowledges all of it. And let me tell you, that has helped me tremendously.

So, we had a quiz, and I just knew I failed. 😩 After we went over it, it was obvious I didn’t have a single answer right. I avoided checking my grade on Blackboard because, honestly, I didn’t want to see the damage. 😬 But when I finally did… 71.1%?! WHAT?! 🤯🎉 I was shocked—in the best way possible.

It turns out that all the times I stayed late to help, assisted classmates in getting access to their books, and actively participated (even when I had no clue what I was doing 😅) actually counted for something. And that? That’s the kind of teaching that makes a difference. ✨

So, shoutout to Professor Igor for actually seeing his students and making this class survivable. 🙌🏾 I’m officially on my way to getting through algebra, and this just made my day. 🥳💃🏾🎊

Now, time to tackle my homework. 😵‍💫📚

🧬 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...
