The power of marginal effort.

[marvin.choa @ChoaMarvin]

"Grandma once gave me a tip; A thread.

During difficult times, you move forward in small steps.
Do what you have to do, but little by little
Don't think about the future, not even what might happen tomorrow.
Wash the dishes.
Take off the dust.

Mattia Bottolo's just too deadly at the backrow

Mukhang malalang revamp ang mangyayari sa Choco Mucho 😮

[blue @bluewmist]

after a certain age, it is literally your responsibility, no one’s else, to teach yourself the things you were deprived of, to unlearn and let go of all the toxic habits, because flaunting anger issues, being emotionally unavailable, and not being able to communicate your feelings seems like nothing more than an excuse. life is unfair to everyone in various ways, a little to some, a lot to others. you cannot spend your whole life whining and complaining about how cruel it was to you; the trauma inflicted upon you cannot be justified, but it is your duty to heal, grow, and feel safe in your mind.

Salamat dito kay ate, may motivation activity na ako sa intro to quantitative methods class ko next week 🙃

Module 1: What is scientific research in politics (and what is not)

[wakim @wakkimm]

5K papagawa ng thesis??? tas ChatGPT prompts gamit?? bawal pa revisions? 😭😭😭

Ranted about this during Term 2 yet accepted another lab coding class in Term 3 😅🙃

And now thinking of using R for the quants course I’ll handle next semester. Make it make sense HAHAHAHA

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Teaching a lab class (calculus with coding) has probably been the most challenging experience I’ve had as a lecturer so far

To be honest, the content is manageable. But the sheer amount of preps can be downright crazy. Tapos ang hirap din talaga ituro ng coding huhuhu 😭

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

@javiervrugeria Malabo yan! Ni licence nga ng stat software, wala yung department namin. Saka busy pa raw sa pag-push ng new standards for faculty promotion 🤦🏽‍♂️🙃

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

I am pleasantly surprised that one of the schools I work at will provide a work device—and a Macbook at that.

Not sure if that makes a real difference to me tbh, but at least hindi ko na kailangan dalhin yung device ko on some days? 😅

[liminal @Liminal1988]

Come back

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Also, I can take advantage of iCloud by storing all my resources in my personal account, then share it na lang to the work device.

Anyway seems like the school is stepping up in terms of infra and other tech stuff recently

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Pero minsan, iniisip kong mas nag-benefit ako from teaching this course than my students, especially with our pacing this term. Sometimes I just wanna think of it as birthing pains 😅

Oh well, term is about to end next week. Bawi na lang on the next run.

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Doesn’t help that I only have one hour per week for the lab classes. Parang kulang din talaga oras with the skills and content I need to cover.

And yet I am about to handle another lab class next term (since I wanna review calculus and augment my basic knowledge of R) 😂

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

HAHAHAHAHA jusko nandito pa rin

Kailan kaya matutuloy ito 😂

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Dear Not-so-Medium-Place, tigilan mo ako sa mga pakana mo. Alert Level 4 tayo. Layasan talaga kita diyan next year.

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Four years after this tweet and yet we’re still here 🙃

Ang desire for resignation, dapat talaga minsan low-key para natutuloy HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Grabe talaga ang pagod from attending conferences

Tbh hindi naman ako nawawalan ng social battery and I can recharge midway by eating lunch or staying silent for a while. Pero the physical exhaustion is real 🥲

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Pangit na talaga ng piso fares ng Cebu Pacific

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Almost a year has passed and I still have the same setup (teaching in three schools, tho I already dropped research gigs for now) 😂🤡

But at least I feel more confident with managing this workload this time around since I'll handle the same courses na hehe

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Good news: This week already gave me a glimpse of my life until December, at least. 😅

Bad news: Parang hanggang December na yung level of exhaustion ko on this first full week of juggling three schools and a research gig 😭🙃

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Speaking of USF…

Man, has it really been five years ago since I decided to take that opportunity?!?!?!?!!!? Grabe how time flies!

[Stutii @Sam0kayy]

did it hurt? when you realised 2025 is just 4 months away & you are still processing 2019 which is about to be more than half a decade ago

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

Teaching in DLSU has also made me dependent of the LMS since required talaga lahat ng profs there to use it

To be fair plug-and-play naman kasi talaga with tons of customisations and linkages with other digital tools such as Turnitin

[Yom 🍔 @yeahred]

I had such a great experience using Canvas when I was still an exchange student at USF that I’ve become dependent on it as a lecturer

Guess I’m just glad that my Canvas shells in UP have been finally activated after a year of teaching 😂
