A blergh day
Wednesday, February 6th, 2019 10:33 pmRight—first time I’m siting down for a proper update in a couple days (although I am surprised to note I didn’t really miss a day, despite the short updates. It’s a pleasant surprise, because even though I’m not working on making journaling a daily habit, I like habits. They’re nice, comforting and reassuring, so having some is always a plus to me), but I don’t think it’ll be a very long one either way.
Today was mostly uneventful: students have started returning to class, although they still aren’t full by far, which means at least part of my classes have gone back to the program and I can start thinking about correcting essays again—yeah, honestly, I enjoyed a couple days of not thinking about that, knowing that my students wouldn’t worry about it either. I didn’t work with the kids’ class at all because only two out of six kids from Level 3 were present, so I couldn’t go ahead with the program, and I can’t decently have a group do work while the others are coloring or something like that so, we finished watching Kung Fu Panda and then moved on to the second opus of the trilogy.
(They asked for Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse and honestly, I was tempted, but I don’t want to watch that movie for the first time in 10 to 30 minutes chunks, thank you very much.)
The good point being that my class is all set on Friday, and since the teens’ class has a cinema outing tomorrow, I’m on to a fairly light end of week, yay!
( More on the 'blergh' part of the day )
In different but not entirely unrelated news, I’m still watching Black Sails (moving on to episodes I’d never seen, now) and tonight I was forcibly reminded why I stopped watching: Ned Low, the captain that reaches Nassau at the beginning of season 2, freaks me out in his first few scenes. I’m fairly sure I stopped watching the first time around when he gets to his...shipmaster? Crewmaster? The name escapes me and I’m too lazy to look it up right now.
Anyway, Low finds that guy in Eleanor Guthrie’s inn, and you can tell it’s gonna be bad and then you keep watching after over a year of break and it turns out ( It is. (Spoiler and, more importantly, tw for gore) ). In the middle of the inn, in the middle of the day.
And I mean, if that’s the worst that happens (it's not like it was as graphic as it could have been by far), well, it sucks and seeing it without warning freaked me out but I can handle it. My problem is, these things can and do go crescendo sometimes, especially in today’s television, and I’m a little worried of what more disturbing things will do to me, to be honest.
Oh well. I guess I’ll either find a trigger warnings list for the show or I’ll just brace myself and have supplies ready to soother myself in case of trouble x)
