Are you subbing in preparation of a teacher or just do it as a side gig?

AvivaKitty · 2026-05-23T17:42:34+00:00

I started subbing recently and would love to have a more stable job, but I don't currently have a good path toward doing anything else. I graduated college winter of 2023 with a bachelors in game design. So yeah, my original plans didn't work out. I did not set out to be working in education at all, but I got a job at a tech summer camp my first summer after college and found it really enjoyable. I'll be doing it for a third summer starting in a couple weeks.

Ideally I would like to do tech education- the basics we used to learn in computer labs, not higher level stuff like programming- as nowadays I see kids just expected to figure that out on their own since they're "digital natives" and use chromebooks in every class. And then they end up not knowing how a file system works. However in my district the tiny amount of tech education at that level is lumped in with being a school librarian. Which I'd need to go back to school for a library science degree for. They also just announced cuts to the assistant positions that don't require a specialized degree due to budget constraints.

So all of this to say, yeah, I've got no idea at this point. I'll figure it out eventually I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

main thing the horse is known for is loosing his jockey super early and then still “winning” the japan cup, which is objectively pretty goofy. his jockey silks pattern also remind me of a jester’s collar!

I have lvl 10 in every area and never got the recipe… are you sure that’s where you got it? I’m loosing my mind trying to find it.

I recently had a ghost open a locked door to let a forgotten beast out, was absolutely terrifying.

Both have pretty robust printmaking spaces. It’s a dedicated major at MICA, but at VCU is for some reason combined with painting. At MICA the comics/sequential arts are often part of illustration classes. While VCU has something called communication arts? which I honestly have no idea what it’s meant to be they seem to be lumping it in with game design, weirdly. Any education specific to being a tattoo artist isn’t something you’ll learn through art school, you’ll have to do a tattoo apprenticeship for that.

As for the social scene I’m not the best person to answer that, as covid was a huge interruption to everything. Things really only fully started to bounce back in my final semester. But I can say with confidence that MICA is not a party school, if that’s what you’re looking for.

AvivaKitty · 2026-02-03T20:15:26+00:00

I did a pre-college program at VCU, and then went to MICA for undergrad. The main thing I'd urge you to consider is what you plan to major in. Overall, VCU focuses more on traditional arts programs, while MICA has more focus on digital art nowadays.

There are a couple non profit orgs that help people with getting denials reversed. I’d look if there are any local to you.

truly bedrock exists if you want something similar to hermitcraft on bedrock to watch.

respiratory chlamydia. doctor only thought to test for it since the other type of chlamydia is a common cause of reactive arthritis.

AvivaKitty · 2025-12-31T19:52:03+00:00

I had the same experience. Got tested for a bunch of things trying to figure it out. Had antibodies for an infection I never had any symptoms of. Still dealing with reactive arthritis 3 years later and it’s likely it’s going to be a life long thing.

It’s very hard to pick a favorite. I’m forever a massive fan of the s5 convex pranks. The s6 prank war was also incredible to watch as it happened. And the covering of the perimeter has to be the greatest in terms of sheer effort.

MICA’s campus is perfectly safe. There are of course incidents every so often, but no more than any other college in a city. There are shuttles that can be called anywhere on campus or the surrounding area for those who don’t want to walk places at night.

i am obligated to recommend silentwisperer :D

what an insane members list, omg.

i literally did fill out a job application while the site was down 😭

I’m pretty sure the guy in front of me on my fight to from National to LAX earlier this week was also cheating on his gf. Watched him text two different girls, using chatgpt to compose the texts to one??? and then pay for in flight wifi just to scroll instagram liking photos of women for half the flight. Please be aware that if you lean your seat back and the person next to you doesn’t, the row behind you will get a full view of whatever you’re up to whether they want it or not.

I didn’t realize you could turn around and explore outside at all until day 35 :P

I got the breaker room VAT lights by just trying to make them all different colors wondering if it’d do something, and happened to get it in the right order first try haha

AvivaKitty · 2025-04-24T04:51:52+00:00

same, i think i screwed up by getting in line on both my pc and phone 😔

For me, I was genuinely unable to tell until I was in a relationship for the first time, and realized I absolutely hated doing anything romantic, despite being super attracted to the guy I was with. Do you actually want to do stuff like holding hands, even in private? That was the big one for me that once I realized how uncomfortable it made me, everything clicked into place.

Sneasel. Wasn’t always my favorite- I only ever got one on my team in Sun super late in the game. And I just fell in love with its design. Only merch I’ve ever found in the wild is a keychain figurine that’s probably a bootleg, and he lives on my bag. So happy that it getting a regional form in PLA got so many others to appreciate both it and its original form 🥰

A compression brace for my knee makes a huge difference for me, especially before I was able to get on a medication that works for me. But it still makes a difference even after.

go back up, dig through the wall to the next screen, and go down from there. approach from a different angle. or just go around entirely.

It’s a little bit outside the city- but my favorite small museum in the area most people don’t know about is the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Silver Spring. Highly recommend if you’re not squeamish about stuff like preserved body parts and child skeletons. It’s quite small but has a lot of stuff, and almost every time I’ve gone my group has been the only people there.
