25 years ago today, my mom called my senior year dorm room to say my dad had collapsed and I needed to come home NOW. Buffy: Was it sudden? Your mother? Tara: No. And yes. It’s always sudden. My dad died suddenly and not-suddenly on President’s Day. 25 years ago, somehow.

I don’t think I’ve been so nervous about a “first” day of teaching since my ACTUAL first day of teaching.

Good news. No new tears and the repair is holding. Bad news: massive infection that needs drainage so I’m back in the hospital.

Surgery today. Surprisingly not nervous. I’d rather post surgery pain than this.

Update: maaaaaaybe a very faint positive but I know rapid tests take a couple days to show things up. I hate leaving my class with a sub, especially on a Monday, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

95% sure I have finally caught the covid (that I know of) after 4.5 years. Terrible headache, chills, stomach upset, cough. Half of teachers bestie’s class has it so it was only a matter of time before it snuck through. Out of tests so Instacarting some on the morning.

@drdre4000 @GargLab I like chemquiz.net. It has loads of practice quizzes for students who want extra reps with instant feedback. The content is intro and gen chem level and they are still updating quizzes.

I'm trying to compile a list of online resources (apps, webpages, social media accounts) for students taking chem. Examples: phone apps - chairs, chem-calculator, chirality, chemistry by design; webpages - RS chemistry, BACON (thanks to @GargLab); social media - zoomorgo, etc.

@StaceyHamamura Funny you say that. I got in my car to go to Lakeshore and my phone gave me travel time to Disneyland. 🤣

Seeing all the “main” Disney folks here talking about D23 using its full name makes me think about that Starcruiser video every time. Because who naturally says “D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event” at all, let alone in every tweet about the thing?

@thephdstory I choose the 10 months, but I have a credit union in our area that takes a percentage of the check each time and creates a summer saver account. That account gets pretty good interest during the school year and then pays out during the summer months I don’t get a paycheck.

Academics, if you have the option between getting your paychecks spread out over 10 or 12 months, which do you choose and why? #AcademicTwitter

@untilnextstop @Mathowitz I used google take out when I left my last job. It took about a week to copy things over but I did get my own copy of all files in shared drives and folders.

@NolanFossum @Wipebook Thanks for reminding me to purchase a set for this semester. Loved the extra work space for my college students last semester.

“Functional skills” program or no…don’t give up. Also, basic reading, writing, and math are all functional skills.

1. I do not recommend getting a migraine in the middle of an IEP where you can’t stop to take anything for it. 2. My brother is the literal best. 3. My brother could barely read CVC words when he went to middle school. This is why I never ‘give up’ on academics.

A little kid in the small world bathrooms either just said “I’m not gonna make it” or “I’m getting naked” and either way I feel for the kid’s poor mom 🤣
