this semester and for my thesis in general i am planning on doing research with high school kids on restorative justice initiatives in schools and how it's helped them with competency development and reintegration. i spent the last six weeks (basically half the semester) networking and finding people within both the school district and community justice initiatives who would be willing to assist me, and rewrote my proposal for the ethics review committee a billion times trying to ensure nothing was left out at all. everyone seemed really optimistic and helpful and everything was going really smoothly and i finally got to a point where had absolutely everything i needed to get started and all i had left to do was to contact the appropriate people at the school district itself to find out what i would need to send them for approval, which everyone seemed to indicate to me would be a really fast and easy process. i called the appropriate woman and left a message and got a voicemail back today that essentially said "no, you can't do any research at all, sorry."
i am really fucking freaking out about this! my deadline for this research credit is april and everything i have been working on was for this project so it's way too late for me to even attempt something else at this point. this feels like it came out of nowhere and i don't even know what to do now. i sent her a very long email explaining in detail that this will be an extremely short-term and minimal risk project that will require little to no actual school resources in any way and that i actually already have all the people i need to help me out and i really hope that helps but it's basically my last chance and i'm completely losing my mind waiting for a response because if she still says no i don't know what i'm going to do at all. fuuuccck fuck fuck fuck fuck my life

On a related note, I had a conversation today where I admitted disappointment over the fact that if I have a kid I can't immediately start teaching them how to build a robot.

Why can't you?

A whole bunch of national brand food items were on sale and cheaper than the in-house or more local varieties today, so now I have a bunch of food in my cupboards that I typically associate with suckers. It's kinda weird owning wonder bread. I don't even really use mass produced sandwich white for anything but the occasional grilled cheese.

okay so this week started out really shitty, and then i decided not to let things that have no long-run consequences and up until this afternoon I was building enormous momentum - doin' homework, went to the gym, eating healthy, making things HAPPEN
and then i remembered how fail I am with boys
