    I'm going to Asia Pacific University Ritsumeikan. It's on Kyushu, Oita prefecture.

    A few reps came to my Japanese class and then hosted a seminar in the city.

    I... called out work and hopped on the train. I was the only one who came.

    They have an online application system, and I went through that.

    Their majors are very few, but they suited my interests well enough.

    Warning, wall of text bitching here :0

    My chem teacher is stressing me out to the point where I'm having nervous breakdowns and don't even want to go near his classroom. I'll admit, it was partly my fault to let my grades slip in that class, but now he antagonizes me only a daily basis, and demands I come in every day during my school's "0 period" so I can't even avoid him on the days I don't have his class. I wouldn't mind it so much, if it actually helped me study and get my grades up, but I'm just super paranoid and nervous whenever I'm around him so it's doing more harm than good. I'm constantly uncomfortable and can't feel at ease when in class, since I know he'll publicly roast me, or just send me outside and talk to me out there. It's honestly kind of humiliating. The problem is that he just assigns way too much homework and I just can't keep up (I'm talking 14 worksheets a week plus notes that take 5 hours, and I only have class 3 out of the 5 school days), but he thinks that I just don't care and am not trying when in his class. I just can't learn the material fast enough! I'm constantly stressed out, and have been staying up late up to 2 hours past the time I normally go to sleep just to try to catch up in his class. Today was the final blow. My friend said hi and I just started sobbing into her arms from sheer stress. I can't handle his class and have to hold back tears whenever I'm around him. Never in my life has a teacher made me cry and it happened twice today.

    Wow. Biiiiiiiitch.

    Tell your teacher this. Seriously. That sort of behaviour is unnecessary and unprofessional. If it continues, complain to the school. Seriously.

    ^What Sabrina said! Talk to your parents, a guidance counselor, the principle - SOMEBODY! This is not appropriate!

    So I'm a solo party princess entertainer and I've been getting requests to offer black versions of known princesses instead of generic princesses for parties (for example, on little girl wanted a black tinker bell party ) so I mention this in the party princess group om Facebook and they all loose their minds about me making about white princess black. Now this is about group that has men playing princesses and white Pocahontas and jasmine. And they all say I shouldn't do it for "character integrity ". Then when a few people say they don't even know why someone would request that and I explained to them that it was because black kids like more than just the 2 black characters they're alotted and that they want a princess that looks like them at their party they then started arguing with me about how race has nothing to do with how they relate to the character and that kids don't see race and that the fact that little girls white black don't think they can be a princess or beautiful because of their skin color isn't because they don't see themselves as princesses in media but because the parents didn't raise them right.
    To say the least that made me mad and went in on em. The post was just deleted.
    I'm sick and tired of these princess groups being filled with nothing but white people who praise men who can transform into a princess, or white people who play poc princesses but then once one of their white characters is turned brown they have a cow.

    Momo that is awful! I think that having black versions for the little girls who want to see a princess like themselves. The reality is that while the majority of the little ones are color blind that does not stop those who don't get as much representation in mainstream media from feeling less than or not as beautiful and that is a horrible injustice our society and the adults making the decision have created. As a fellow independent princess performer I stand behind you if you decide to go for it and I am here anytime you need to talk.

    So... If kids don't see race... Why does it matter if the princess is black?? I think that's what I'd be asking the brainless wonders that are are arguing there...

    (I really can't stand idiots like that.)

    F**k them!

    You do realize that most groups on Facebook are usually one thin sliver above the lot you'd find in youtube comments, right? Personally, I think you're amazing and if my daughter was of an age where I would hire a princess for her party, I would hire you in a heartbeat!

    Momo, you'd be a gorgeous Princess if you're skin were Chartreuse!!! Things like this make me crazy because it is so STUPID! Those are all FICTIONAL characters. They can be whatever color a little girl can envision. What a tired bunch of dumbasses. I don't know how you have the patience for them.

    x2. Don't let them bother you Momo. They sound like a bunch of stuck up jerks. You have our support.

    Bull fucking shit. As a kid who grew up with JuST white princesses I was STOKED when Mulan came out. Whatever idiots said that kids don't see race clearly need to check their privledge :/
    one other thing: Asian people always cosplay white characters and no one seems to bat an eyelash but why make it a big deal when a black person does it? Cuz they're black? :/

    This just happened this morning and it was relevant to what momo was saying.
    my niece who loves superheroes just literally asked me why all the superheroes on TV are white. She's ten years old.

    There was a mer on here a while back, haven't seen her lately, so I'll not use her name, but she went to meet a mom to pre-plan a mermaid party, and once they met, the mom wouldn't hire her because she was convinced all mermaids had red hair.

    People are stupid.

    Taking care of a patient tonight who just got here, was starting to settle in, was getting dinner. Very polite and had spent the last hour in the intake talking about their dog and how much their dog meant to them and how it was their reason to be happy in life. Fast forward to dinner, and they get a phone call from an animal shelter where their dog has been dropped off. They wanted confirmation from the resident that it was okay to adopt the dog out.

    What the ever living shit?

    Person A takes the resident to the hospital to help them, they get sent to us, and in the process Person A just decides to take their dog and get rid of it? Not flipping cool at all. The resident was on the phone with the shelter, and I think they agreed to hold the dog for a while, and then they called Person A to figure out what is going on.

    If that had been my dog or my cat, I would have discharged on the spot to go take care of my animal. It's completely unacceptable.

    It just boggles the mind how little regard people have for someone they supposedly care for. 'Let's lock them up in the booby hatch and take that stupid dog to the pound. I can't be bothered anymore.'

    I really hate humans. I don't know how you do that job, hun. I salute you and your endless compassion!
