I finally got my grade for my GIS assignment from hell- 3...
Posted 2 years agoI had an assignment from university that I had struggled for months. It was a Geographical Information Systems assignment. I was supposed to write a report involving Shasta county in California, using GIS to produce the data and then go into detail, you probably get the idea.
I filled an ec (extenuating circumstances) claim, I spent months in the computer room with my laptop, putting my best efforts, as my parents put it and what do I get? 30% is my grade. I have FAILED the assignment! FAILED!!!
😟😟😟
I hesitate to read the feedback from my tutor, let alone speak with him. I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this way. I just know that I feel like so low, how could I struggle with this? My tutor told me this assignment is 6th form level, in other words, 16 year olds could do a better job than me.
The good news is that because my other assignment, a poster project involving pipelines and GIS got 60%, I officially have passed the module. Nonetheless, its just not right. How could I mess this up this badly? Its not fair. Sigh

Posted 2 years agoAs Fathers Day comes I’m worried about Dad
Posted 2 years agoThis Sunday is Fathers Day and I need to get him a card for the occasion. However I’m more worried about his health and well being.
I don’t believe that I wrote this but a year ago, my Dad was diagnosed with blood cancer. Thankfully his chemotherapy was a success and he was given a clean bill of health not long afterwards. Unfortunately Mum told me right now that just a couple days ago his blood wasn’t looking good and after a second test it was getting worse, apparently his white blood cells aren’t doing well. It’s vital he avoids an infection. He’s going in for another test tomorrow and I’m hoping that his blood improves. It’s possibly he’s going to need a transfusion but who knows.
I’m just hoping the worst doesn’t happen. I don’t want to lose him. 😓😓😓

Just learned that Kythra is gone.
Posted 2 years agoCommand iconname :Kythra:
I just heard from my friend Commandiconname:Mojorover:, that Kythra has passed away. I'm shocked. I have no idea what happened. I hope that he's actually still alive, but I will truly miss him. He was someone I could talk to. Now I feel like I wish there was something I could do.
I'm sorry Kythra. I'm really sorry.

I just lost an old friend of mine
Posted 3 years agoI lost someone who was part of my life when I was a teenager.
He had been my mentor when I was running a small time business. It was challenging work, outdoors and I met a lot of people. But it was to keep me busy. Eventually I left the business when I got a job.
Now he's dead. He wasn't in good health for years, eventually he was living in a seriously bad state. My parents then had to get involved, it took three trips to the dump before his house was clear of crap. But he was already in a state of decline and I knew he wasn't going to recover from it. But it still cuts into me. To know he died this morning.

The Caped Crusader has finally been laid to rest
Posted 3 years agoKevin Conroy the best voice actor for Batman has succumbed to cancer.
I actually cried today. But it was because of my father who has blood cancer and university has been really stressful and nerve wracking.
But I'm so devastated to learn of his death. As The Joker said "Without Batman, crime has no punchline".
I will truly miss him. I do have some dvd of Batman The animated series. Need to go binge watch them someday.

Thoughts on first episode of the Mandalorian
Posted 3 years agoI know it’s weird that I’m watching the first episode of the Mandalorian for the first time. But better late then never.
I really enjoyed the first episode.
The Mandalorian is pretty cool. The way he takes out the first two people in the bar to collect his bounty was pretty cool.
The fish like prey just wouldn’t stop talking. Glad he was frozen in carbonate by the Mandalorian just as he commented that he would probably not see his family.
I got to say, seeing the stormtroopers was also fascinating. The way the scientist was wearing glasses was cool. Don’t often see those in the franchise.
The IG droid routinely suggested to self destruct until after the enemies were eliminated. Then the Mandalorian kills it to stop him from terminating the young baby Yoda.
That baby Yoda looks adorable.

Tested positive for covid19
Posted 3 years agoJust took a test and the devastating results are in.
I’m positive that I’m infected with covid-19. That explains how bad I felt last night. I’m advised to rest and I guess my job is at risk. Can’t get any worse than this, can’t it? Soon or later, me and my big mouth.

My mum has hurt herself.
Posted 3 years agoShe tripped on a hose while running in the garden just as we were about to eat dinner and she fell face first into the wall.
She's bleeding from the head, nose and mouth. It's not profusely, just like a graze or along the lines. I'm not ruling out a concussion.
I've called the doctor and he'll call back soon. I hope. Please be fine Mum. Please.
I'm struggling with my emotions right now. Mum is taking it much better than I am.
I talked mum into not telling Dad about it as he's on a trip abroad, he'll be back next week and the last thing I want to do is give him unnecessary worries since he rides a motorcycle, or at least I think he does, he does have a bad back.
I feel like I should have done something. It hurts. I need someone to talk to. Take my mind of the worries.
