Yeah, I did.

This website/blog has been a lot of things to me, a place where I started to learn how to write and how my writing would affect those who read it.

A place where I could try my hand at daily reporting on COVID, or try to write film reviews, to discussing ideas that resonate in my heart (like how the Toronto Maple Leafs just suck the life out of hockey, I think I wrote about that..). At one point, I talked about my journey at Centennial College, and the subsequent expulsion I recieved.

There was a lot, and now, after writing about all these different experiences that I wanted to have as permanent jobs in my life, I have now returned to school (which I also wrote about very briefly). So now, after failing to make the grade for the specialist program in Cognitive Neuroscience, I am proudly a Human Biology specialist at The University of Toronto.

I am absolutely dying right now, figuratively of course.

This is my 2nd year, but my first in this program, and I am thrilled. So thrilled, that I took it upon my intelligent-ass self to enrol in 6 courses! That’s 1 over the threshold for a full course load, 2 over the student average and 3 over my personal average. Why have I decided to do this, first was to test my limit, before graduating my first degree, I could only complete 3 courses; however, now that I have graduated once, spend years downtown trying to find my place in the world, and of course a job (which never happened), I learnt a lot about how I behave and function personally.

In case you are new to this blog, or just forgot, I am disabled; I have a traumatic brain injury (acquired).

So, just a quick heads up, this is what I am planning to do: 1) I am planning on writing again, which means more frequent posts, 2) Not fail organic chemistry, as of right now I am failing organic chemistry, 3) Really lean into cell biology and ecology, as I feel the best in those classes and I really love cells (it was inevitable because I like viruses, and zombie movies), 4) try to do a lot better in Anatomy, I think I failed my Anatomy midterm and that really scares me as my dreams of being involved in medicine really depends on my understanding of human development and anatomy.

There is a lot that I want to talk about, especially as we approach Christmas, writing is going to be a good form of stress relief. I also developed what is called secondary ADHD, I don’t think it’s that severe, although I am on a low dose stimulant. I also want to use this blog as an online record, I already have things like Notion.ai to help me out, yet the more you do something, the better you get at doing that one thing (Right? Right!).

I also have this course where I work in a lab doing data entry of butterfly samples. I also feed birds, take care of plants, the garden and the lawn. Anyway, till my next entry!
