It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 14 years, since 18 Mar 2009 (via @twi_age).

My husband has the magical ability to watch #Westworld then immediately go to bed. Meanwhile I will be scouring the internet to try to make sense of what I just saw.

The last few years of listening to audiobooks at gradually increasing speeds has really prepared me to only listen to lectures at 2x. RIP to me following real-time conversations with focus.

Anyone else ever panic during open notes tests & look up information they definitely know? Like whether URLs have spaces & devices can support multiple browsers? Or am I the only one who blindly looks up everything?

Everything I did for my undergrad was in MLA. Everything for my master's program is APA. This is not an easy transition.

One perk of doing online grad school is getting to do some assignments by the family fire pit.

Update: After some very specific digging I found the correct email address AND the online student exemption form. Just needed to really want it.

It's been a while since I've tried to wake up for a thing. Here's hoping this works.

Also, I think part of the problem is that I'm *not* listening to music while I work. I need my headphones to be productive.

I can't tell if my writing muscles are completely rusted or if it's the fact that I drove 6.5 hours today & am sitting in my in-law's living room, but I CANNOT write this Statement of Purpose for grad school. Save me.

I'm only just barely working my way into going back to school & I'm already back at yelling into the social media void instead of just finishing my work.

[Emily Van Hook @emily_vanhook]

Me earlier today: I'm so tired I could go to bed at 5 & sleep all night.

Me at 9pm: I've reached the point of no return on this book so I guess I'm staying up until I finish.

🤷🏼‍♀️

The answer right now is hating both equally.

[Emily Van Hook @emily_vanhook]

What do I hate more, Daylight Savings Time or earlier me who took a 2 hour nap then drank a 4 pm coffee?

@goodreads Finishing The Hobbit & hoping to squeeze in the majority of The Midnight Library.

I spend a significant amount of my online teaching time telling kids to use spell check or Google to spell words instead of just asking me in the chat. These are survival skills, eighth grade.
