Me to my cat: It's okay not to be okay.

Journal #2 asked me to revise and resubmit the article!

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

I just submitted my first article to an academic article for review! With that, the first semester of PhD work is in the books. 🎉

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

After 7 months of waiting (and a couple emails checking in), this article was desk rejected. Disappointing for sure, but moving on to journal submission #2 for this paper.🤞

@diet_dr_cox At what point do I yell WOO during that song?

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

@diet_dr_cox Pics or it didn't happen

@tomandlorenzo @netflix @maria_scaptura yoooo

I've made the same self-deprecating joke about my social awkwardness several times this week, and everyone has laughed along instead of reassuring me that I'm socially adept.

@OrdazYesika Highly recommend Eden Royce's short story collection, "Spook Lights: Southern Gothic Horror."

@TreyLord_focker @familyunequal Too real, man

And just like that, Fabio Carvalho is a Liverpool legend #LIVNEW #YNWA

@diet_dr_cox And the devil is definitely not cool

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

@diet_dr_cox I also learned that co-star is no longer a cool app. I feel so old.

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

@diet_dr_cox I learned all about this app today from my students 🙃

Just got emotionally wrecked by yet another season of #NeverHaveIEver

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

@diet_dr_cox Just reading the "not" in your tweet and feeling great relief. Happy to be the change I want to see in the world this morning.

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

Saturday mornings are for quitting things that don't align with your values and instead doing things that do.

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

So now I'm watching soccer with the kitties and writing.

I think about this Bob's Burgers scene every day

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

Their solution? I had to order the transcript (read: pay for it) and sent it to my department. Now, I'm trying to get reimbursed...and have been instructed to use a travel reimbursement system that grad students don't have access to.
What in the academy?! 🥴

[Elizabeth B. Roberts @ebethrayroberts]

A small moment of academic bureaucracy that makes zero sense:
My college requires a recent official transcript for grad students to be solo instructors, but my department can't access my official transcript.

Big fan of therapy over here, and I am cackling at these
