And she’s usually the one I talk to when I’m in burnout.
Mr. Good Time: Is her boyfriend a bad roommate?
July 18, 4:27 p.m.
sweetiebird: Not at all. He’s very nice, and he’s taken on a third of the rent.
He’s just… here. 24/7. And I’ve never had a roommate other than my sister.
Mr. Good Time: So lots of masking.
sweetiebird: Yes. I wish she asked me first, but I don’t know if I could’ve said no anyway. She helps me so much.
Mr. Good Time: What’s the other thing? You said two out of three. Grad school or work?
sweetiebird: Grad school.
My Assessment and Intervention prof told me I needed to redo my Behavioral Intervention Project because my Positive Reinforcement Incentive plan wasn’t financially feasible with as large a population as Barrington Prep.
And he’s right.
And he wants the edited version back to him by next Wednesday.
Mr. Good Time: That’s a lot to dump on you right before your final summer pre-college grading period.
sweetiebird: You’re right. So I guess it’s three out of three.
Mr. Good Time: Feeling overwhelmed?
sweetiebird: Yes.

Mr. Good Time: Okay. I couldn’t get our suite at the Tourmaline for a whole week, but they have a Waterfront View room available from today until next Thursday. It’s under our usual pseudonym.
I talked to them about using the same sheets as the suite, and I put restaurant credits on the reservation, so you don’t have to worry about that either.
Mr. Good Time: And here’s the KABU rideshare credit link to get you to and from school.
sweetiebird: …
Mr. Good Time: If you’re typing a long note about how that’s too much and I can’t do that, it’s already all paid for. So if you don’t accept my generosity, it’ll go to waste.
And this puts you under no obligation to scene with me on Thursday.
If you’re not ready to go back to your apartment and need to re-up for more time, just let me know by Wednesday so that you don’t have to change rooms.
