FUCK HERBOLOGY
Herbology can die in a fire
I really hate 


I can feel my herbology grade slipping again. Why does this class insist on being a dark plague in my road to becoming a healer? Of all the stupid requirements to get into college. I need a break. I'm overwhelmed, I'm going to have a nervous break down and I really don't need this right now

I need candy.

Oh no! What aspect of herbology are you struggling with?

[insightfulness]

Everything, as always. And I think my plant is dying.

[momblogger]

Are you possibly giving it too much water? Or maybe it's sensitive to the sudden change in temperature?

[insightfulness]

Or I'm just a plant murderer. I give it water every day what more does it want from me??

[dumb_ass]

I have candy and a vague understanding of Herbology.

[insightfulness]

What kind of candy..

[dumb_ass]

What kind of candy do you like?

[insightfulness]

Mostly all of it, honestly.

I always worry if lacking a natural affinity for plants means you're not cut out to be a Healer. It's a little odd, isn't it? Muggle doctors aren't expected to have green thumbs.

In any case, you know I'm always happy to help. Is this a "we need to resurrect something in the greenhouse" issue or a "how does anyone keep all of these plant names and properties straight" issue?

[insightfulness]

IS THIS WHY I KEEP KILLING EVERYTHING AND CAN'T KEEP ANYTHING STRAIGHT IN MY HEAD?I'M NOT MEANT TO BE A HEALER??? PANICKING

Good question. Maybe I should go to a no-maj medical school instead. Do you think it's too late for me to do a life change? It takes considerably longer to graduate from their medical schools though.

Uh. Both.

[knightly]

I think it's too early to worry about a life change. Although I can hardly blame you; I've wondered the same quite often when all of this magic and everything started feeling so illogical and random. But that's just the panic talking when you feel overwhelmed.

That's not a problem. Pick one thing from the list, and we'll focus on that first.

Muggle doctors don't rely on plants to heal. They're probably expected to have a steel stomach so they don't vomit on their patients though, maybe.

[...]

Oh man. What if we wanted to be muggle doctors with stomachs of steel. How do we get there from here?

[insightfulness]

[knightly]

Haha, yes. Although you'd be surprised by how many Muggle medical students become incredibly queasy around blood and gore. Some of them know full well they're queasy before they enter school, and some of them discover it when they deal with a cadaver the first time.

The ones who are determined always find a way to deal with it. That, or they choose a specialization that doesn't require them to be in the surgical room ever. No shame in that choice. There's all kinds of different doctors, just as there's all kinds of different healers.

[quinning]

That had better not be true.

[orangepip]

Don't stress!! We can go over whatever you're struggling with this weekend if you want?

[insightfulness]

Okay, yeah. I have to start getting these stupid plants down or I'm not going to be able to take the class next year.

Not that I want to, but, you know.

[orangepip]

The plants aren't stupid and neither are you. Not everyone can be green-fingered! You're going to be an amazing healer one day and this is just a little bump on the road to get there.

[destructobot]

This already sounds stupid before I've even written it, but don't like, take your frustration out on the plants. Not like -- obviously you aren't going to destroy them or hurt them or whatever, but don't think of them as your enemies or a symbol of a bad grade. You know what I mean?

[insightfulness]

I understand what you're saying but I feel like they're mocking me and I hate them.

[destructobot]

They're just trying to grow and live, dude.

Anyway, magical plants can sense negativity. That could be messing with your project.

[quinning]

I haven't a clue what you scratched out, but I'm confident that I agree with whatever you wrote. FUCK PLA

[insightfulness]

You would be right.

[dreamsofdragons]

Ugh. That is the worst :(

I'm always happy to help if you need an extra pair of eyes or a mind to bounce ideas off of, though.

[insightfulness]

You're lovely. I will definitely keep you in mind after the other few people are fed up with me and my failure.
