Subarashii
well I guess I'm just gonna fail my class lol
Subarashii
we have to do 15 fucking hours of service learning and a lot of it in this town relies on either A: having a goddamn car and B: other students crashing in and trying to get less hours for THEIR fucking project
Subarashii
I'm sitting here incredibly upset because I have been trying to get something for FUCKING MONTHS and having people balk at the '15 hours' part
Subarashii
or being unable to do it due to not having shit like a car, being unable to stand for hours, etc
Subarashii
the worst part is, I'm not sure my prof is going to accept that
Subarashii
because, y'know, everyone ELSE is fine why aren't you fine eski
Subarashii
fuck
Subarashii
like. if you don't have a car or you're fucking fat, forget it
Subarashii
and she's been like THE PRESENTATION IS ON THE 19TH!!! so yeah I'm not looking fucking forward to wednesday
Subarashii
I KNEW this was going to be fucking impossible from the beginning due to my problems / not having a car, fuck
lazdo
if you're literally unable to stand for hours, that could qualify as a disability under the ADA, maybe try contacting your school about that? and definitely talk to your professor
lazdo
this does sound unfair :-(
Subarashii
I have gotten special seating in my classes due to not being able to fit in places, yeah
Subarashii
and yeah I can barely stand for 30 minutes, let alone hours
Subarashii
(I backslid a lot and I'm working on losing weight, but yeah)
Subarashii
it's even worse because a lot, and I mean A LOT of volunteer oportunities in this city rely on you having a car
Subarashii
which is a thing I don't have and I don't want to get a license because most likely by 40 my joints and reflexes will be shot from heriditary bullshit
Subarashii
the ones that don't either want you to A: stand for hours or b: don't have 15 fucking hours to do
Subarashii
and I just KNOW she's going to blame me for 'not doing it fast enough/looking into more places'
Subarashii
when a lot of people in my class either went out of the city to do theirs or had specific ins to places
Subarashii
omg tho it's because 'it looks good on a resume'
Subarashii
and I'm like I'M GOING INTO COMPUTER NETWORKING
Subarashii
PEOPLE LITERALLY WILL NOT CARE
Subarashii
I'M A WOMAN GOING INTO TECH
藤宮あやちゃん
Ugggggh
TC
90% of the class is going to not bother putting that on their fucking resumes
TC
because if people want to put volunteer work on resumes they'll do that work OUTSIDE of fucking college
Subarashii
yeah, it's basically useless busywork
TC
this womans an idiot and this shouldn't be part of your grade or should have given you an alternative if you couldn't fucking find something because the job market is shit and ergo so too is volunteering unless you're actively involved with SCOUTS OR CHURCHES
Subarashii
she's been VERY! ADAMANT! about the fucking 15 hours thing too
TC
FIFTEEN HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE ON A RESUME DOESN'T MEAN SHIT EITHER
Subarashii
oh no, see we have to write a fucing 4 page paper and do a ten minute presentation on it
TC
EITHER YOU'RE VAGUE ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME OR YOU PUT ON A FUCKING MASSIVE AMOUNT LIKE YEARS WORTH
TC
SIDE SHIT IN COLLEGE WON'T DO SHIT FOR YOU
TC
Subarashii
it really won't, but profs fucking love having students do it anyway!!
TC
honestly?
Subarashii
because something something real world experience
TC
this is something I'd complain about to administration
Subarashii
yeah like, ngl our campus is hilariously not handicap friendly
TC
cause if people can complain about professors not making fucking lectures long enough under the basis of "Stealing our time" because college is expensive
TC
THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY be grounds for a complaint
Subarashii
I have to walk a pretty long way to get to the bus stop on a sidewalk that sometimes isn't maintained well in winter, that's uphill
TC
... what the fuck
Subarashii
if you're disabled and you don't have a car good fucking luck
TC
That's literally like
TC
illegal i'm pretty sure
Subarashii
OH YEAH the bus in the area wanted to drop/pick people off at the place with actual seating and places to wait without having to go uphill
TC
cause even if you have a car if you have to go between buildings/classes on thos conditions if you have say A WHEEL CHAIR then that's fucked
Subarashii
the previous dean told them no and put it in a hilariously awful place
Subarashii
yeah like even one of the profs I was talking to was like OH YEAH I KNOW IT'S BULLSHIT
TC
THIS COLLEGE LITERALLY RUN BY SATAN
Subarashii
and wanted to like. in winter place the board in wheelchairs on the sidewalk and be like 'lol ok now get to the bus stop'
Subarashii
it's a community college branch where the main one is run in a different location
Subarashii
so on top of this, I actually pay more because I'm considered living 'off-county'
Subarashii
tl;dr welcome to america out college system is incredibly fucked up
TC
Well I've been to a community college branch that's seperate from the main location to and as much of that shit was a joke that literally REMOVED THE ARTS BUILDING TO LIKE TEN MILES AWAY even though the people who did graphic design knew how to fix the internet better than the in house IT
TC
and even THAT isn't something I'd see swinging okay with the state
TC
you can't just go "fuck you disabled people"
TC
like...next you'll tell me they don't even allow service animals for the blind
TC
that's how borderline evil this is getting from your descriptions
Subarashii
oh no they do
Subarashii
just, y'know, fuck you if you can't walk
Subarashii
or fuck you if you don't have a car
TC
you can't even blame america, this is strictly a state college system based thing.
TC
you cannot tell people in wheelchairs or temporary injuries to fuck off that's like...that's gotta be illegal
Subarashii
we're also in a severely windy area so like. in winter I have to take a blanket with me so my legs don't get fucking frostbitten
Subarashii
while waiting for public transit that can take up to an hour to come
Subarashii
OH and the nearest doors are locked, meaning you can't duck inside once you step out
TC
I wonder if like your colleges dean is from a different state or something where this doesn't occur to them about hos stupid this is
Subarashii
because the building was built by people who build high schools and the dumbasses in charge decided YEAH HAVING THE DOORS NEAREST TO THE BUS STOP BE LOCKED IS FINE, FUCK PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO SIT OUT THERE IN WINTER IN AN AREA WITH NO WIND BLOCKS
TC
like how at my work I have a manager who moved down here from new york and on the day we had AN ACTUAL SNOW STORM he didn't close the store until well after an hour into it
Subarashii
TBH this feels more like a privlidge thing
Subarashii
like 'well I've never been disabled or have to wait on public transit, so it must be easy for them right'
Subarashii
like people genuinely do not grasp this until they have to sit through it
TC
well you have to be a new level of asshole to feel privelege over fucking people in wheelchairs because apparently PITY is an emotion that escapes you
Subarashii
it's less asshole and more ignorance
TC
even the most ablist mother fuckers I've met realize that the handicapped NEED certain things.
Subarashii
/shrugs
TC
No there's no way it can be ignorance, only a moron who has never been to school would think a fucking uphill sidewalk doesn't need de-icing in winter to accomodate the disabled
Subarashii
oh no, when I mean 'not taken care of' I mean 'half-assed in obvious ways'
Subarashii
which can be even more dangerous, when the path to the actual 'handicap enterance' is crisp and clear'
TC
....the handicapped have an entirely seperate entrance?
TC
instead of just a ramp at every entrance?
Subarashii
well, it's all flat. but there's a sidewalk up to the bus stop to that entrance
Subarashii
and that is often NOT MAINTAINED WELL
TC
=_=
