  • Miraculously, the disability team have corrected my letter within a day, so now I officially have my old mentor back! Unfortunately, I've had to contact my needs assessor again because they haven't corrected my academic tutor, and I know that's gonna take all month again. But at this stage of the PhD, the work is fairly light, so I don't need academic help just yet.
    I ask the disability team at Student Finance to amend my providers, and not only have they only changed one of them, it's not even for the right service. (My specialist mentor has been listed as an academic tutor.)

    Right now, I feel like jumping out my window, especially since I've waited nearly three weeks for the amended letter to come through (because the disability team take ten years to sort out anything).
    Fee's entire existence has really made me think that I was too harsh on Kafu a few months ago. PR and VB issues aside, at least Kafu wasn't intentionally conceptualised to be problematic.

    Fee is undoubtedly worse but imo Kafu is close second cuz the situation involded child in real life, it only brings it down cuz I don't think anyone was purposefully malicious as you said, still, I think it's important to encourage critical thinking of the whole situation, the communication in the project wans't adequate as it should've been and it's important to make sure that criticism is heard ( while also not policing ppl who wanna use/like her )/

    @patuk Don't get me wrong, I still find Kafu's production a bit sketchy considering Kaf is still a kid, but like you said, I don't think Kafu was created with malicious intent. Kafu has also been getting a surprising amount of good originals which have helped me warm up to her VB, though her initial promotion helped a lot, even with the PR disasters.

    Yeah like….KAFU just had a really rough development behind the scenes, and in the end, everything turned out fine-ish. But with FEE, one of her selling points is quite literally being a sexdoll :ring_ani_lili:
    The second part of my tattoo sleeve is done! It's an assortment of orange flowers to compliment the red flowers I got back in June, and to build up towards a rainbow flower sleeve. Now I remember how much the healing process sucked last time, so I'm not looking forward to three weeks of stinging and itchiness again. ^^;
    My unconditional offer from uni has come through, which means I'm officially due to start my PhD this September. Now all that's left is my disability support, which has just come through this afternoon, but unfortunately, I need to email some people because there's a few problems with the PDF I received. (Basically, Student Finance are messing around with my providers again.)
    Uni's sorted out again, for now - turns out I didn't need to send in any more documents and the admin managing my application made an error. Considering that my longer proposal has now been approved, everything should be ready to go now. The acceptance email mentioned something about an interview, but I dunno if I'll receive anything about that, the way Covid keeps affecting everything.

    At his point, I'm just waiting on disability support at uni to be approved. Hopefully, I won't be waiting for much longer - one of my support providers keeps nagging about sending them the legal document that tells them what support I'm entitled to, which I clearly don't have yet.
    So, the good news from uni is that my longer proposal has been approved! Turns out that they were waiting for my main supervisor to approve something, which he wasn't told about until yesterday and he had to contact IT because he couldn't perform the necessary actions within the system until today. The bad news is that uni is now asking me about missing documents, and the only thing I can think of that is genuinely missing is a transcript of my Master's grades, mainly because they never sent me one when I ordered my Master's certificate earlier this year. So yeah, not looking forward to scrambling around for that, if it's the case. :confused:

    Why does my uni only tell me about important shit at the last minute? I wish they told me about anything missing last month.
    I've gotta say, seeing the beta Rin and Len designs getting official love is giving me life. (Which begs the question, do beta designs for Meiko, Kaito and Luka exist?)

    In other rambles, my phone just tried autocorrecting 'Kaito' to 'Keith'.
    Had my first proper PhD meeting in a while via Teams this afternoon, and apparently, I don't actually have much work to do in extending the proposal. All my uni wants is a timetable of what exactly I'll do over the next three years, since they want additional reassurance that I'll finish the project in time (bar any sudden catastrophes or lifestyle changes on my end). I suck at planning far ahead in time (dyscalculia is a pain in the bum), but I'm gonna draw up a table first in Word before writing the plan down in sentences. I need to visualise these kind of things before trying to write them.

    We also have a third supervisor on board now, and he was my dissertation supervisor all the way back in undergrad. He was really glad to see me again, and he's excited about my project, since it kinda relates to what I did for my History dissertation. So overall, everything seems to be going well in this early stage of the project.
    Some pictures and videos of Windows 11 have been leaked, and I already hate how the taskbar looks lol. Why are all the icons in the center of the bar, like on Mac?

    probably trying to jump on the whole bandwagon that google started with the chromebook (obviously they didn't "invent" the whole concept of it but they pretty much made it popular). why they'd want to do that is completely over my head though.

    I heard the leaked images are the lite version that was running on a virtual machine, the "real" version has rounded corners, and you can move the icons on the bar around like it used to be. Oh and apparently the upgrade is going to be free?

    Also man, I wish they'd stop making a brand new version in a "GET IT NAOW NAOW NAOW" whenever I FINALLY go to the next version...
    Had my first Covid jab this morning, and I've had to take Ibuprofen to dull out some numbness and a heavy feeling in my arm a few hours later. Still feel glad I've had it, though.
    After three hours of (annoying at best, burning at worst) pain, I am finally a tattooed lady! I've started out with a large rose along with a smaller poppy and tulip on the top of my left arm. So far, I've cleaned it once and the initial stinging I had out of the shop has calmed down a ton, but now I'm not looking forward to the leaking ink and peeling stages of healing. ^^;
