I had a really big test today and I feel like I failed it.

thank you for showing up at the most opportune of times, panic attack

Well, just remember, there's only one letter different between "failed it" and "nailed it". :D

In all seriousness, I remember that feeling all too well. I was generally a pretty good student but I had a couple classes in college that really kicked my butt.

New computer might be a dud. Need to go deal with tech support and hopefully gets things dealt with without shipping things around or needing to set up a new one. Grr rawr rawr rawrg hiss spit!

my writing hand has been hurting a lot when I grip things lately and it's been making drawing even more a process than ever
which sucks since I love drawing as much as I do

I'm generally a good student too. I didn't really have problems in school when I was getting my bachelors degree but professional school is sooo much harder. This second semester I've also been struggling with motivation and a sense of not being smart enough so I haven't been studying as well.

My daily awful for today is that after celebrating being done with that test yesterday, I was super hungover.

I know about that part! I have a degree in Literature and right now I'm in a professional program for library tech. Quite the shift.

My daily awful is that I called Asus about my comp and it jumped right in to sending the thing out so I did that and planned to ship it out Monday because it was convenient, completely forgetting that I still need the stupid thing. I might be able to borrow a laptop from somewhere, if I can't get my last project done on my mother's desktop before I head back home.

I'm not thinking too well right now.

Today is a high pain, heavy brain-fog kind of day. All I can do is struggle through work, for now, since I desperately need the money. Swear to god, though, it felt like it should have been 3:00 already when it was only fuckin 12:00

My phone stopped working so now I have to buy a new one

After being borderline pleasant for the last couple weeks, my boss is back to being a micromanaging, passive-agressive bitch.

Had a discussion about short term goals and realized I've dug myself a hole.
Dropped out of college, owe three years of taxes thanks to Obamacare so haven't done taxes since then. So between defaulted student loans and owing on taxes .... I can't go backto school.

I am taking udemy courses on web development and hoping a strong enough portfolio will be enough for a web development job

Looks like we are going to get into a very dangerous all out war. -Edit because someone thinks this doesn't affect me personally- I'd rather Russia not make on their threats to bomb our land missile bases if we do get involved, because my significant other literally lives well within range of one, and It causes me a lot of stress to even think that it could happen because of an orange man thinks its okay to bomb people, rather then offer allies asylum, and pull the fuck out.

I feel like the fact that I've been posting on here and not the daily awesome is not good for my mental health.

I am a Veterinary student and I decided to run for a class officer position. Elections were today and I did not get it. Which is not a huge deal because I did not expect to but it's the fourth leadership position I've applied for this semester and the fourth time I've lost so that's just a bit of a downer.

Points for trying though.

And yeah, there's a reason I didn't make a daily gripe thread at the same time as the awesome, but it's good to vent sometimes.

I'm stalled out in my day and don't expect it to go anywhere. Blah. I'm starting to fear for my academic standing, which has never happened before, and I'm not near as fussed about it as I know I should be.

They want to impose work requirements on medicaid. -Edit because someone thinks this doesn't affect me personally- This means if I get on disability after going to trail, it's going to really fucking suck because I can't work, and then probably won't qualify for medicaid, and it's really stressful for me to think about.

Let's try to keep the stuff in this thread personal instead of political.
