#ONLINE CLASSES

[draculathedansemacabre]

PSA: Dracula: The Danse Macabre creator Gabriel Urbina is teaching a set of online classes in the new year! 👨‍🏫

First, he's doing a new round of his classic online workshop Writing Stories For Sound! It's the three-hour interactive crash course through how he thinks about stories that are told entirely through audio - what their unique strengths and weaknesses are, what makes for a great audio experience, how to tell stories that make audiences lean forward. 🎙️

He's teaching the workshop two times - those are on February 2nd at 2:00 PM Eastern and on February 4th at 7:00 PM Eastern!

But wait, there's more! Because Gabriel is also offering his first ever Masterclass Edition of his online writing workshop, and it's a doozy! 📚

Gabriel is going to write the script for the pilot for a new audio fiction series in just six weeks, and he wants you to come along and write a script of your own! In this six week class, he will break down everything he knows about going from idea to full script, and he'll give you a series of writing assignments that turn the mountain of writing a script into a manageable climb! Best of all, he'll do everything he asks his students to do, so you'll get the inside look at how an Urbina story takes shape and comes together! 🛠️

The Masterclass is a six-week course, with sessions on Wednesday nights at 8:00 PM, starting on February 5th!

If you've been struggling to get your audio fiction ideas down on paper - or if you need a great gift for the audio fiction lover in your life for the holidays - don't miss out on the chance to go on a writing adventure with Gabriel! ✍️

T, 5k, Wangxian

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.

Snippet!~

The days are passing by quite quickly! And as such, I’ve been trying to keep a positive attitude for school. So far, so good. As long as I keep this up, I’ll be able to have good grades for a long while! > < I’m counting on it! o(^-^ o )✧//

Today I spent nearly all day surfing the internet for my Geography class. Tiring to say the least. But thankfully, I was able to come up with a good claim and evidence over the status of our declining birth rates. Thing is… 〜(＞＜)〜 I had to record myself explaining everything. I totally got the jitters! Watching someone else’s video might’ve discouraged me a bit (T﹏T) (shouldn’t have done that). Thankfully (after what felt like three thousand tries) I got through the recording smoothly! I hope to receive a passing grade at least 人´∀｀).

Recording myself for something simple as a homework grade made me extremely nervous. Now how am I supposed to keep a good social life with others if I can’t even handle that? T~T wahhh

. . .

૮ . . ྀིა⁩ - I’m having so much fun here.ᐟ

[manlvrr]

Okay guys,,, this isn't funny. . .

Where's my sugar daddy?

Where's some random sexy stranger trying to save this pretty pink princess??

Where's my sweet, eccentric, odd, slightly concerning rich man to take me away from all this?!1!1?1!

I'm not made to do homework by myself with no friend sitting beside me also confused and needing help 😫😫

"If you have any questions, don't hesitate to speak up"

I'm hesitating omg I feel dumb but it's literally just me not working on it for more than a few hours with multiple distractions and breaks ugh

I feel a bit better that some other girl was struggling tho like lol I feel you girl thank god for you saying that you'll have to get a tutor cause me too 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Anyway gotta really pay attention to my zoom class rn but I don't think I'm even gonna bother cause I'll probs have to go back anyway cause I know nothing of how to do this engineering shit but I refuse to drop out cause I don't want to let the haters win

[that-one-emo-potterhead]

About to start my second week of online (zoom) classes tomorrow. First week wasn't as bad as I anticipated. Very awkward but not bad. What's really nice about this format of learning is that while I'm technically in a class full of other people, none of those people are there IRL, which means I can do my work comfortably without the people around me. Less anxiety = more creativity

XD
