Summatives Suck

Microsoft Word doesn't even recognize it as a word because they suck so much.

Literally me.
But seriously, no one appreciates them. Yes, it's nice to not have 30% of your final mark be based on one exam (for some people) but adding a whole layer of stress does not help the matter. Literally no one has time for this. When they decided to implement summatives, they totally did not take into consideration that teachers are already trying to cram the last bit of the course into our heads after realizing we are very behind schedule PLUS we need to put in some time studying for this test that only covers, oh, everything we've done this semester. Why not add in a super project that is also supposed to cover everything learned in the course that takes up so much time to complete.

Absolutely everyone hates summatives, even some teachers. It's hard for them because they have to mark that and the exam all before the due date to have their marks in.

Overall there's just way too much stress. We should be enjoying the new year but instead, we're freaking out about keeping track of all the coursework we need to complete before we just lie down and let exhaustion overtake us.

Currently...

...writing with an on screen keyboard.

And it's HARD I TELL YOU.

The keyboard of this laptop decided it wanted a day off and didn't tell me. Luckily I am a computer genius slash I discovered this by accident but there is the possibility to have a keyboard on the screen that you can click the letters with your mouse.

Although it's useful if you need to type and your keyboard is being difficult, it takes a painstakingly long time. I don't even know how I managed this.

Capitalizing Titles

I have a problem.

And that problem is that I am really bad at knowing which words are important enough to capitalize in a title and which ones you leave alone. Like, I actually stress about it when writing titles in anything and feel like everyone knows how to do it really easily and all judge me when I do it wrong.

The trick is to not capitalize the ones that wouldn't be missed if you removed them but I just overthink it all and nothing gets done.

Yup.
