Freshman Prof

I'm a freshly minted composition instructor. Here's hoping that snarking on twitter will keep me from snarking (too much) at my students.

I was in the room where it happened in St. Louis yesterday! #Hamilton

Because I'm curious...

RT if you're a woman who has been called "intimidating" by men at least twice.

@heyprofbow That’s because people who don’t work with young people are too busy stereotyping this generation as lazy, entitled, stupid, and self-obsessed to pay any real attention to them.

@christinaemoss I fell off a horse when I was 8, broke my collarbone. I rode horses and played basketball for 3 wks before getting an X-ray bc I thought falling off a horse was supposed to hurt that badly. Was worried if I whined Dad wouldn’t let me ride again! My collarbone is still crooked.

@christinaemoss I was grounded from reading. Multiple times. I got grounded longer when I told my teacher my mom had grounded me from books in an attempt to shame my mom into ending the punishment early.

One thing that hasn’t changed—spell check is a false friend to students and faculty alike. Today I got a grant app requesting “transpiration funds.” Said professor is not a plant; s/he just wants a rental car.

I guess it’s time to update my profile—I’ve crossed over to the dark side. I work in admin now—specifically sponsored research. It has been a weird transition.

I smell pancakes from my backyard, so obviously I assume it's a northrax attack. @Netflix can't remove #30Rock--it benefits natl security!

@Russostrib Nothing like a good cliche to round out the league's fairy tale ending.

@CriminelleLaw It was a hell of an amazing run for our guys. But with all of the rookie difference makers on the roster, the #Preds WILL be back!

[Freshman Prof @FreshmanProf]

@martysg We all do! The Great Wall of Smashville!

[Nashville Predators @PredsNHL]

Hell of a game. Hell of a series. Hell of a run. #PITvsNSH

[Freshman Prof @FreshmanProf]

@martysg And so many rookie difference makers on the roster... there's a bright future for the Preds.

[Freshman Prof @FreshmanProf]

@martysg Heartbreak city! But going from wild card to the SCF having never made it to the conference finals before? It was a damn good run.

[Freshman Prof @FreshmanProf]

@martysg I'm so sad.

You ready to take a little trip down memory lane with our good friend Roger Stone and his buddy Guccifer 2.0? <thread>

[Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk]

And then, 5 days after #Sessions-Kislyak meeting, guess what happened? Hacked DNC emails were released. 10/

@peevedccprof O.M.G. how BIGLY HORRIBLE. I know I can't go a week without visiting my winter beach home.

Seems like 45 is running out of that "stamina" he claimed Clinton lacked. He's starting to stammer up there. Overdue for a Mar-a-Lago Vacay?
