My heart is with the @RiceUniversity community today. As the parent of a college student, a faculty member, and a Rice alum, I can't imagine what they are feeling today and I send all my best thoughts to anyone affected by this tragedy.

@Catherineoscopy @ZCofran Also, excellent skirt choice.

[Jen Herrera @JenH10]

@Catherineoscopy @ZCofran I was wondering when you two were going to battle it out at the fair.

[Jen Herrera @JenH10]

@Catherineoscopy Happy birthday!

@joshmcgoo I had an endometrial biopsy with no meds and no warning. Supposed to be a routine pap and back to work, but the OB said let's just do the biopsy now to save time. No time to mentally prep. I had a panic attack in my car afterward and left work early because of the pain.

@MylesDrance Hope you had a great day!

@Lpollet The last big one we felt was 10ish years ago. I was in the shower and missed it. This one shook the bridge pretty hard.

[Jen Herrera @JenH10]

@biophyskrys I stand by my observation!

[Jen Herrera @JenH10]

@AprilMBeisaw @Vassar Amazing! Congrats!

@StephenKing has used the full names of both of my children in 2 different stories. In 2002 it was a cute coincidence. In 2024 I wonder if there if there is something I should know.

@MylesDrance Can’t wait to see what they do for St. Patrick’s Day!

[Jen Herrera @JenH10]

@reluctantlyjoe That's wonderful, congrats! I've appreciated the flexibility being NTT has given me both personally and professionally.

[Jen Herrera @JenH10]

@stephandrade @Vassar Congratulations and welcome to Vassar!

Final exam day. Which translates to I can close 2938 tabs day.

How's my 1st semester back teaching full time, you ask? Well I have had several small mental breakdowns and have apologized more to students in the last few months than I have in years. On the plus side, if you need an extension for anything, you got it friend. No questions asked

@Catherineoscopy Saw TLK in a theater when it came out. Dead silence during the Mufasa scene. Then a small voice (maybe 4 years old) talk-whispers “Daddy, don’t die.”

[Jen Herrera @JenH10]

@Catherineoscopy May e. They are amazing warm and fresh.
