I'm a RENT-obsessed, Star Trek loving college student living in an Empire State of Mind. And also? I'm crippled. My thoughts on life and other odds and ends.

Ask me anything

15th November 2011

but can you accommodate a giant cockroach?

andromedalogic:

Initial thought process:

  1. I want to Do Stuff in life.
  2. In order to Do Stuff and not end up a quivering lump in my bed, I will need what are called ‘accommodations’.
  3. Fuck, apparently I espouse a political standpoint by the basic facts of my existence.
  4. I wanted the opposite of this

If I do make a second attempt to attend university away from home, ideally, I will not need academic accommodations; what I’ll need is a boatload of other junk that will enable me not to need academic accommodations.

  • “well I pretty much need my own bathroom”
  • “why, do you have some kind of medical condition that —”
  • “no it’s just otherwise I will have to constantly maintain the particular cognitive sleight of hand that I require to use public bathrooms, and if I might have to say hello to someone every time I need the bathroom for anything, just accounting for that will sap about 50% of my daily cognitive energy, and I assume you’d rather I used that energy for schoolwork, and besides I tend to stand in front of bathroom mirrors and ravage my facial skin and I’ve been told that’s not socially optimal”
  • “… what”
  • “also I need enough room to pace around constantly without bothering anyone”
  • “haven’t you been in places that don’t permit that before”
  • “well yes but if I am consistently unable to pace then I’ll go crazier than I am and will be unable to think at all and won’t go to class and will fail out of your school”
  • “how can pacing be that intrinsic to your well-being”
  • “also I pretty much cannot live in a dorm unless it’s a secluded segment of one where I see a maximum of 4 people regularly, but I am wary of dorms in general because my last dorm was a scary borderline-psychologically-abusive hivemind populated by well-meaning institution workers”
  • “I assure you, none of our dorms are psychologically abusive hiveminds”
  • “that’s what they said at my last college”
  • “also I need most people not to be enormous douchefucks”
  • “gurl the ADA does not cover that”

haahahaha just the title of this post is epic.
