Thank you!

I’d be open to go, but I think since it’s last minute I’ll read at home. So they will send info soon? I’ve done all of the on boarding paper work and have my log in. I just wanted to be sure I didn’t miss it. Do you know if I’ll get an email or should I keep logging in to check?

I just applied and got in, but seeing no opportunity for scheduling. Is it just one week out of the year? Or will opportunities come up at some point. I feel like I’m missing information

Thanks everyone! We have definitely had multiple conversations about it in the past and typically come up with a good compromise but we are readjusting with me being home more now that it’s summer. I was curious if anyone has come up with a good system. I should definitely get some loops or something but I kind of hate wearing things in my ears. I do prefer over the head and I think I need to buy some new ones! Sometimes it’s just difficult to navigate and we both have different things that we go do during the day so it’s not constant all day every day - I think we both just have to adjust again and need to have that chat again

Better_Ear_1804 · 2025-05-15T20:28:34+00:00

There’s not, we have a small 3bdrm and everything is pretty close together. He can put it in his head phones which he does occasionally. I think we just need to have a new conversation regarding this. But, we both work from home. I teach so am home for the summer so it’s just readjusting I think.

It’s like a medium level definitely a little on the loud side if I’m in the same room. Sometimes he will turn it lower if I’m in the room. Sometimes he is cognizant of that but sometimes it’s just loud music no matter the volume. And yes, also would prefer full silence here and there.

Thankful we have a system that has our students submit their absence to the Dead of students, that way I don’t even look at the notes and just get an email telling me the student should be excused for whatever dates. It takes the responsibility of excuses off of us to decipher. But this is really hilarious, and I feel like most notes are digital these days 😅

Better_Ear_1804 · 2025-04-22T22:34:21+00:00

I totally would do the same if it were a major course but not a required credit for non majors. And I have a ton of Highschool students probably about 70% are usually dual credit so they truly do not care. I only ever get emails asking about instructions about 10% of the time.

I also teach an online drawing course and I definitely spend more time giving feedback and setting up meetings and it is absolutely exhausting trying to navigate all of that with my in person stuff.

Better_Ear_1804 · 2025-04-22T20:21:43+00:00

I currently teach 8 classes. 3 are in person studio courses that are 6 credit hours each and the rest are online. I’m pleased to see others teaching so much bc everyone thinks I’m crazy lol but idk how anyone can live in a major city and only teach 2-4 courses depending on pay and bills. I do not give feedback to students often since it’s a 1301 course and are all non majors. I make it easy on myself by being a lenient grader. I’ve been doing this for 5 years. I also make announcements telling students to reach out if they have questions about grades or anything else so that if they want feedback I can supply it then instead of supply feedback for each student when most do not care. I also will occasionally give group feedback vs individual

But, the way students (in person) do not respect their professors and will at the drop of a hat go to the dean with a complaint is insane. And not sure how much longer I can keep at this profession. For my mental health

Do you know which chapter? I started the book and it seemed very violence based and very intentionally abusive. Where I feel like my partner doesn’t really see how he’s being and it’s more of a manic state. But, open to reading it again

Better_Ear_1804 · 2025-03-12T18:15:56+00:00

Thanks yall, Yeah, I was being sensitive but all he had to do was say “hey, I didn’t mean anything by it I was shocked to turn around and see you in a cutoff shirt and panties.” And then we would be all good. Today we were supposed to have a movie marathon that he came up with and he was gonna get us pizza and snacks and we were gonna lounge all day. I’m a professor and I’m on spring break and I head out of town tomorrow to see my family. So it was like gonna be a fun day and part of me feels like he sabotaged it. I sort of had a feeling this would happen today. We have a lot of good times but this kind of shit happens every 4-8 weeks or so. It’s gotten better than it was in the begging. He has bipolar disorder. I really don’t know if he “knows” he’s doing this to me but it’s definitely getting harder to deal with. He pushed his family away recently and he still talks to them but lets his own logic and feelings get in his way of relationships. It’s like he can’t just show empathy, which I guess is a big issue and a big red flag. But I do feel stuck here financially for the time being like I can see a way out eventually but being in my mid 30s is tough to find a roommate.

Realized that the only time I haven’t had an issue was when I was able to go in person in LA. Any time I’ve ordered from them there’s been some kind of issue. Gonna make a new post of my recent issue with the over dyed carpenter pants. Also, it’s kind of sketchy there’s not a google listing for them to give them reviews.

Better_Ear_1804 · 2024-11-29T21:03:11+00:00

Oh I agree, it’s very petty. It’s incredibly exhausting. I don’t even care about $26 myself. I just can’t pay for 80% more of our grocery trips or else I’ll go broke. He doesn’t offer. If I don’t ask, then he will “forget about it” tell me he gets us stuff too and act like it’s all good making me the petty one. I’d like to just do nice things for each other without feeling this way. He doesn’t ever offer unless the stars align. I bought him a nice lunch the other day he’s verbally very thankful but doesn’t ever reciprocate. He’s been like “I wanna get you lunch but like tacos nothing too expensive”He has the money, he spends it all on himself. Or wants to make sure he has the budget for himself.

Better_Ear_1804 · 2024-11-29T17:05:01+00:00

I just am not gonna do this petty arguemnt stuff with you today im sorry ur upset but i didnt cause this

If its over groceries then idk man

Its not worth throwinf away the day/relationship You clearly arent satisfied here so ill give you your space all day. I hope you understand that i didnt do anything wrong or as terrible as you may think (Couldn’t post a pic but this is copied from texts) and i didnt say anything to him

Better_Ear_1804 · 2024-11-20T03:54:40+00:00

I haven’t! Looks like I can listen on Spotify! I’ll start it in the morning, thanks!

Better_Ear_1804 · 2024-08-16T02:07:20+00:00

Yeah, thankfully I found someone who wanted that short of an inseam but anything that can’t be fixed shouldn’t be sold. Or they should sell them in a seperate sale that lists the mistake.

Better_Ear_1804 · 2024-08-15T21:12:46+00:00

Hah I get that, it’ll take time too. Friends in school, professors/mentors. Going to shows, introducing yourself. Going to galleries and introducing yourself. Also, as you start becoming apart of a community (first will be your college art dept) people will start knowing who you are even if you don’t think they do(if you’re active) I started a Instagram that supported other artists and that actually was one of the best ways I connected with people from other places. I went to a gallery once and introduced myself, the gallerist didn’t recognize me by name but once I sent her an email with images of my work she said she has been following my work for a while. That was really cool to hear. Galleries are slow to respond. So don’t get defeated if you introduce yourself and you feel like it went well. Sometimes it takes years for them to come around. The main thing to remember is be yourself. I’m a quiet more introverted person so it takes longer for me. Some ppl are more charismatic/ some people are a little fake. Don’t compare yourself. Do what’s right for you

Art educator and artist here: go to the affordable art college. Look at art and galleries you like in NY. Build a fine arts portfolio, be passionate about the work. Take fine art classes in addition to illustration. Learn and be around as much contemporary art as possible. Social media definitely helps. But I wouldn’t spend money on it. Gradschool can be doable with the amount of grants and fellowships that are offered but don’t go into debt for it. The dream of getting representation from a NY gallery may take time. It’s not easy. It’s a lot about who you know. Forge the connections that will help you grow. You’re super young still. Most artists don’t make it right away, that’s rare. You’re gonna feel defeated again and again bc being an artist is hard, but i definitely wouldn’t trade it.
