I want to thank everyone who faved or watched my gallery. After I accidentally posted a thank you to someone who did not want it on their profile, I decided not to post thank you's. However, note that I am grateful for all who fave any submission in my gallery as well as watch me. I hope submissions that weren't made by me, you also watch and thank the artist or writer.

Why delays with everything...well (Personal Update)
3 weeks ago
My annual program and conference was selected to be featured in my university's research magazine for their next edition, which meant reviewing over 10 years of alumni and now finding out if they became researchers, scientists, entrepreneurs, etc.
I had to compile a data report going back five years for students in an accelerated pathway guaranteeing admission in medical school, because my university's average MCAT scores were lower than the national average. Accelerated pathway students were slightly higher than the national average (Only 4 points) but lower than the medical school's expectations, which meant having to develop a new MCAT prep course.
All courses in my department were full and instead of asking faculty if they will increase enrollment caps, they told all students to email me for overrides because I'm the only one in my entire college/department with that access. If I don't do overrides, some can be dismissed, lose their scholarships, federal work study, etc.
Many students trying to find scholarships, mentors, and paid opportunities are asking me for help. Since the federal government made so many cuts and are unpredictable with what exactly will remain active, I've been trying to help students find anything available whether on or off-campus with a new weekly newsletter. On the plus side, my two assistants were offered paid positions with higher salaries but actually wanted to still work with me.
Another team messed up with giving access to student volunteers in their supervisors' online portals with course information, so it's been back and forth with trying to correct this issue that's gone on for weeks.
Faculty requesting different classrooms, students with parents complaining why they were dismissed, financial aid revoked at the last minute due to changes made by the funder/sponsor, a new website that keeps requesting additional money to access all features...
Now, I can't even send emails through my work inbox because my email login is suspected of SPAM. I don't know if someone reported it as SPAM, I was hacked, or what anymore. I'm so exhausted and burnt out that I'm just laughing about it. If I can't access do anything with my employee account now, then I probably won't even go to my office tomorrow.
