Running out of activities + queer acceptance (sort of)

SOTD: Rosetta Stone - "Something Strange"

This is day 2/100! Of a productivity streak!!

Also, there is a consequence that I didn't expect from purposefully being productive: I am running out of things to do. I don't have a ton of coursework this quarter (easy classes), and the work that I do have isn't particularly difficult. So, I might pick up an actual hobby that isn't just watching YouTube videos? I might go back to drawing consistently? Go back to reading? Watching shows and movies? Begin studying for the SAT? Taylor Swift deep-dives that I do for virtually no reason? So far, I am still finding things from 2004-2007. 

Anyway, today I went to my college's library for a few hours to write 3 feedback letters for my workshop group. But there was this one submission that absolutely baffled me. I do not understand this guy. 

The requirements were to submit a 1 page workshop letter (our intentions with the piece, what we feel confident about, what we're struggling with, specific feedback we'd like), and 3-6 pages of a story (double-spaced) (from this, you can gather a 4-page minimum). But this one guy- on top of making the font size for his workshop letter larger than the font size everywhere else- didn't even write half a page. His first page of fiction was 2 character descriptions that were very short. Maybe 3 sentences long each. His second page of fiction was an actual scene, and the first paragraph was basically just saying the same thing over and over again. Plus, the spaces between paragraphs was hilariously large. The dialogue was nearly nonsensical (copy-pasted quote: "I was there before what wasn't was"). And the final page... said nothing except "Once upon a time..."

That's it. That is ALL the first page said. Why is he even in this damn class? All of this had a total of 376 words. Meanwhile, my own submission was 1,886 words. Word count doesn't technically matter, but if both the quality of my writing and the quantity surpass his (I wrote just over 5x more words than he did), then something is off. For comparison, my workshop letter alone was 413 words. His workshop letter was a singular paragraph, and 45 words. 

I had also looked through the "lesbian master doc" up on the Internet Archive. I wanted to see if, from this, I could figure out whether I was attracted to women or no one at all. And... I'm inclined to believe I am aromantic, especially since a lot of the things that I did relate to were more likely related to me being a trans man and/or aromantic (possibly asexual, too... unsure). And a section didn't apply to me at all since I haven't ever dated a guy. 

It was certainly helpful (and described attraction in a way I better understand) but it also made me even more aware of how different I am even within the queer community. Which isn't a particularly good feeling. That said, my attraction (or understanding of it) will likely change when I actually begin medically transitioning. But, we'll see. I'll stick with aromantic until the label no longer fits.

Anyway, here's a photo of me that a friend took (so I could use it as proof that I was active to excuse a PE absence):
