Summary: Everything about Professor Lan, from the way he speaks, thoughtful and poignant and never loud— like he was saying I will not raise my voice. If you want to learn, pay attention. It was one hell of a power move, in Hao Mei’s opinion— to the way he dresses, to the way even his gestures have a subtle elegance to them, scream that he is as meticulous as they come. Which is why it comes as such a shock to Hao Mei when someone in booty shorts appears in the background of Professor Lan’s video. In which Professor Lan's students try to figure out exactly who that person who appears in his video is Kay's comments: Despite this taking place during ... THE PANDEMIC ... it didn't cause feelings of horror in me and I could really appreciate how soft this was. I really enjoyed the POV outsider on Wangxian and the perspective of the students trying to figure out who their professor's hot roommate was. I wish my online classes had been this fun during ... THE PANDEMIC ... but alas, I already knew who my professor was dating. Excerpt: The class had progressed past the halfway point with no incidents— not even one person accidentally unmuting themselves and allowing their ambient environment noises to interrupt Professor Lan’s lectures until they either figured it out themselves or Professor Lan pointed it out. That all changed, however, when someone walked into Professor Lan’s background. Hao Mei has to blink and take a few seconds to register that there is a person in Professor Lan’s background, a very tall person dressed in black booty shorts— very tight booty shorts at that— and a bright red tank top— the exact opposite of the neutral, faded colour palette Professor Lan favours— hair pulled up in a messy bun, and one fairly muscular arm absolutely covered in tattoos. The very antithesis of Professor Lan’s entire being. The person walks past Professor Lan, not even looking in the direction of his laptop, and grabs a book from his bookshelf before leaving, not making a single sound in all that time. Professor Lan also makes no acknowledgement of the fact that another person had just walked into his room and grabbed one of his belongings and had left without saying a word. Hao Mei wasn’t sure she hadn’t imagined the person.

online class during covid was just me making a typo and typing "sluts" into the chat on a class with my whole entire grade and then my friends making fun of me for it for the next 4 weeks.

Online classes mean being like this 60% of the time asking what the fuck they're doing

Had a random dream, but details are a bit hazy (ignore the fact that I'm up at 3 am), also it's very long

So in the dream, there were a lot of confusing things. I was in an online class for POB, but at the same time I had to reach to school in time after. I wasn't wearing my uniform though.

When I returned home after school finished, I felt so exhausted. This made me have the idea of posting pictures of the moment from Mount Rushhere where Becky was the same way, or a video of it but I was debating with myself on which one to do. The strange things is, the pictures were so accurate in the dream to the actual scene.

I wanted to post these, and even the video I wanted to post was accurate to the real life scene. In the dream, I was doing this in the middle of changing out of my uniform but I was also falling asleep on my bed from how tired I was.

Then at some point, I made another Tumblr post in the dream of a video moment in the same episode, but this time the scene deviated from the actual thing. In the clip, Becky and Bob were in a house that wasn't theirs and I think they were in the attic. They began finding it weird that Sally was missing (idk why specifically she, both parents were missing in the dream version of the episode), so they decided to look for clues. Part of their house was also my house, specifically my bedroom. She and Bob were playing chess in the same attic room to figure out how Sally could have been kidnapped (by that I mean that not only were they discussing it, but they were actually using the game to figure it out). While playing, Becky asked herself out loud if Sally could have actually been kidnapped. She realized yes since she was missing a black knight piece on 3 (it's literally just 3) and played her move on the board while Bob looked either a bit surprised or had his normal face expression. It then shifted to another scene where Becky and Bob were still figuring out the situation, but this time she had coffee and sort of acted like she was a detective. But in the dream, while drinking it with a serious expression, she was still disgusted with the taste and spat it out, so I guess it's still a bit accurate.

Unnecessary detail, but coffee cup was the same here.

When I woke up from sleep, I actually sort of had a temporary Dream-Reality Confusion of what was real life. I woke up and saw the sky was black instead of blue from my window above me. I actually asked myself how in the world I slept from 3 pm to 3 am, but it then hit me that I was actually in a dream. I genuinely thought I was drowsy while making a Wordgirlpost midway changing after coming home from school. Bear in mind today is Monday here.

This is probably my longest dream post

One's sorrow, two's mirth...

While my birdwatching classes don't include material on bird-related nursery rhymes (or 90s alt-rock bands named for them), you will learn more about how to observe and identify the avian dinosaurs in your neighborhood and beyond!

In fact, now's a great time to check out all the classes currently on my schedule at https://rebeccalexa.com/class-schedule/! In addition to birdwatching, I also have classes on foraging, geology, lichens, ecopsychology, and more. Most of them are online, and all of them are open to the general public, no prerequisites or experience needed. Note that November and December dates are for 2023, all others are for 2024.

Any tips for an online summer class? I'm struggling making a weekly routine that factors in work, social life etc.

hii, so sorry i took so long to get back you! i've gotten so poor at answering asks.

i have never taken an online summer class, but here are some tips from my uni zoom days:

start your day early. i know it's really tempting to roll out of bed and log into your class online, but you won't be able to keep a structured schedule this way.

and by schedule, make a schedule... for real! wake up and go to bed at the same time every day. eat breakfast at the same time every day. heck, even go for a walk in the morning and make it your "pretend" commute as if you were going to class in person.

get a planner, start using google calendar, whatever it is, you need to something to help you stay organized of deadlines, assignments, readings, office hours, and ofc, your class times. this will also help you figure out where you can accomodate (non-school) work and your social life.

online school can have you sitting for long periods of time, don't forget to stare up from your computer every 20 minutes just to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds before coming back to your screen.

water and exercise!! this doesn't have to be super strenuous, but take a sip from a water bottle every 15 minutes, if you're on call with a professor during office hours, consider having your camera off (if allowed) and take the call outside during a walk. please remember to not neglect your health!

set up a designated work environment that is ideally, not in your room. if not, make a designated corner for in your room that is just for work. if you're not in that area/room you are not working - this helps your mental health and focus, which is why it's bad to work in your bed because your brain associates it with sleep!

turn your camera on. i know it SUUUUCKS, but this will help keep your focus in class if your concious that anyone can look at you.

get a application blocker and put your phone on do not disturb to limit outside distractions.

actively participate becuase it helps with information recall and deepens your unerstanding of the course material!

start an assisgnment as soon as as it is assigned - slow and steady wins the race!

i hope this helpful - good luck, you got this!

Ilya Repin (1844-1930), Students Preparing for an Exam, 1864, oil on canvas, Saint Petersburg, State Russian Museum; present at the retrospective expo Ilya Répine (1844-1930) : peindre l'âme russe at the Petit Palais in Paris, 21 October 2021-23 January 2022.

March 19, 2024. In order to validate a PhD in France, a candidate must do 100 credits worth of workshops, seminars, etc. Some require active participation, others simply require presence, but none of these are graded.

I'm in my first year as a PhD candidate and one of my goals for this first year was to get as many of the 100 credits as I could. I was so aggressive with this plan that I went over the 100 mark this week, with another dozen or so credits left to go from things I registered for in early April as well as the all-day workshop I sat through today about "Developing effective reading strategies and tactics".

I tried to go into this with an open mind, I hoped to get some ideas about more efficient reading, but then we spent most of the morning talking about building bibliographies. There are multiple dedicated workshops for doing just that, even though I personally find it quite concerning that after doing a Bachelor's and a Master's to be able to apply to doing a PhD, there's still a question about how competent we are in building bibliographies, but I digress.

I was not the only one surprised by this, and I actually went back onto the catalogue to read the description which did mentioned the word bibliography not one single time, but the instructor persisted and I suspect most of us just worked on our own things while pretending to pay attention. (It was online, thankfully.)

In the very beginning of the workshop though, before the instructor sunk all of our spirits down, she had us discuss in smaller groups our own reading techniques, which ended up being the most enriching part of the day. So here's a sequence of steps comprised by a group of PhD candidates across different disciplines:

BEFORE READING ask yourself what you hope to get out of this article/chapter/book, go a step further and write up a series of questions you hope to find answers to while reading.

DURING READING highlight/annotate/take notes.

We were a bit divided here, but me personally, I like to have some time between when I finish reading something and when I go back and extract the annotations, citations, etc. Let's call it the rumination phase.

AFTER READING consolidate/compare the information acquired from whatever you've just read with the previous things you've read. I make a dedicated page for every single thing I read in Notion, grouping together the citations I've pulled, my notes, my thoughts, and then in a separate, themed page, I'll add what I think is pertinent to the subject.

hi all! do you ever find yourself wishing you knew more about the grammar of Hebrew liturgy? have you ever wondered what a non-binary grammatical gender in Hebrew might look like? do you just desperately need to come up with an excuse to get out of evening commitments on three specific Wednesdays in March? well boy howdy, do i have a class for you!

next month, i'll be teaching a three-session crash course on liturgical Hebrew grammar, including the nonbinary system i've been using in my siddur. classes are online and sliding scale, with no one turned away for lack of funds. it would be rad to see some of you fine people there!

Week 1 of classes done and so far so good!

My classes for Fall 2024:

Intermediate Algebra with Review - a 5 credit 16 week course I have to take before I can take my degree’s required math course. Math has never been my strong suit so I scored a little below average on my placement tests. But! it counts towards my elective credits so that’s nice.

Microcomputer Applications - a 3 credit 8 week course. this also goes toward my elective credits and i enrolled because i already took basically the same class in high school so i already know the material. easy credits.

World History Since 1500 - a 3 credit 16 week course that goes towards my gen ed credits. definitely going to be my hardest class, mostly due to the readings. i love reading but only subjects i’m specifically interested in and unfortunately history isn’t one of them.

Wellness for the Individual - a 2 credit 8 week course also going toward my elective credits. enrolled in this one out of self-interest.

Intro to Mass Communication - a 3 credit 8 week course that will replace my Micro Apps class when it finishes. this class will count toward my gen ed credits.

As you can see, 10/16 of the credits i’m taking this semester are toward my electives. This is because I took most of my gen ed classes as dual credit during high school, so I have very few left I need to finish.
