and i support it. i bring pizza. i cook them food. i picket and am totally in favor of their cause.
but without classes i am bored.
grateful my midterms got (currently) cancelled
but bored. like, i think there is a point where everyone will begin to think it's tedious and overbearing for the strike. so yeah.
so uh, talk to me i guess. just random whatevers even. what did you guys do today?

i'm a very mother-like person (despite a dislike for kids) so yes. I will cook you food.
and it is. i dunno the whole political mumbo jumbo or who is right and who is wrong. but it's just sad that it has come to my teachers striking. and they regret leaving us to either join them or do what we can in the mean time, but still. it's just...ugh. i support it but there will and may get to a point where i just say: 'stop striking'

I just worked, shopped, and since then have just made popcorn and surfed the net.
Excited about several things today: - RWBY volume 4 starts this weekend! - Walking Dead season 7 starts this weekend! - Shadowverse (mobile card game I play) is rumored to come to Steam next week! - Skyrim special edition is released next week! - Nintendo Switch announced, and Skyrim is in the trailer! (Since have discovered that its' not actually announced as a title, it's just that Bethesda's a partner - who knows, it might be eventually, but there's only one officially announced and it's a Zelda game) - Finally discovered how to use Photoshop 32-bit on my computer after having it 5 years, lol. (There's at lesat one feature that the 64-bit version doesn't have for some reason.)
Tonight I will probably work on the Elder Scrolls wiki I help with, and maybe work on my cosplay for a con next month (Yang from RWBY - I have the shorts, socks, boots, and wig, but I need to make her gauntlets and top/skirt and I am NOT experienced w/ sewing.)

Oh that's so fun! I read The Lightning Thief again today. Finished it in a day. Studied some. And then watched Netflix.
I actually am thinking I will cosplay as Honey-Senpai for a con next year. I may do two, one as Roxas also. Since my hair will be bleached blonde instead of a wig and it works for both cosplay. I think I'm going to focus on the Honey-Senpai one first since that is the easiest to make.

Just a quick note; The sad reality is two things.
Right after the strike is over; all the days you missed will be pushed over. Should you be a K-12 student; instead of getting out of school in the summer like you normally would; you will continue to attend school for the number of days that your staff went on strike.
If you are a college/uni; Well if you plan to transfer, or apply to another school ever; you'll be rememebred as that school of bad influence. Q.Q' On another note; you paid for those classes; you aren't being taught. The system is still going and at the end of the day the staff got paid reguardless of their staff. You lost a semester; that means another semesters worth to retake the class.
My HS 12th grade Gov/Econ teachers shared a story giving us insights on the aftermath of strikes. They both went to a school in Milwaukee to lecture as representatives. This was in the middle of July when the kids were supposed to be on summer break. Apperntly their strike went for over 2 months, and they weren't going to have a summer at all because by law those months had to be made up. So no one was happy; when my teachers talked to the staff; the staff all reported that if anyone suggests a strike; that individual can take a hike.

They have to do a lot for our school. Because it isn't one university. It's 14 state of my state universities. 100,000 students. Over 4000 faculty on strike. That's a lot. The Obama is even aware and may be involved at some point.
Oh. Just cliché stuff really. Watching Arrow and Flash. Supernatural. I like this show called Stranger Things. Pretty good.

Yikes. You're at a PA state school right? I don't want to sound stalkeridh, but I know that's the situation in PA. I'm Pennsylvanian. I go to a private college though so I don't have this problem.
