Thinking a lot about that tweet that said that all women working from home are sitting on a couch with their MacBook and a cup of tea and all men are using a three-monitor set-up and the loudest keyboard they could find at best buy

have i ever told y’all about the greatest moment of my academic career
i was a freshman in college and i had this history teacher who was ~edgy~ and his hotness level on ratemyprofessor was off the charts and he was the first teacher i ever heard use the word “fuck.” anyway he would do this thing every so often where we’d have a “quiz” and the first two questions were always really easy and the last one was hard - they were all similar questions, and the point was to show what you learn about history and what you don’t.
so one day he’s like okay kids time for a quiz and the first question was who killed abraham lincoln. the second question was who killed JFK. third question was who killed william mckinley.
we all take a few minutes and write down our answers, and then the teacher asks the questions again so we can shout out the answers. everybody answered the first two with really no problem.
now, keep in mind that this class was at 9 a.m. and i was exhausted All The Time during my freshman year of college so i sat in the back in my sweats and never said a word and the teacher definitely had no clue who i was.
so you can imagine his surprise when he asked the class who shot william mckinley and without missing a beat i said, “czolgosz,” pronounced correctly and everything.
my teacher froze and in a very stern voice asked, “what was that? what did someone just say?”
i repeated: czolgosz.
my teacher: “who said that?”
i raised my hand, and my super cool history teacher glared at me. he then asked me how the hell i knew the answer. he said that in the TWENTY YEARS he’d been teaching this stupid class, nobody, not A SINGLE PERSON, had ever known the answer to that question.
i then had to quietly explain to a room full of people that there’s a musical called assassins and there’s a song about czolgosz shooting william mckinley at the great pan american exposition in buffaloooooooo (in buffaloooooooo)
The arts are important.
I shocked a teacher once because I could recite the preamble to the US Constitution (got bonus points to), She asked why I’d taken it upon myself to memorize it. I had to explain it was in a School House Rock song….
I shocked church with my ‘math skills’ when they were asking how many seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour, hours in a day, days in a year, now how about minutes in a year - and I call out five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes without pausing to think, cos Rent
Once aced a religion class pop quiz that asked me to list all of Jacob’s sons since they’re the names of the 12 tribes of Israel. The one and only time I’ve been thankful for Andrew Lloyd Webber. I even got points for getting the birth order correct.
My little brother got extra points in a social studies class once for knowing “O Canada” in its entirely (we’re American and grew up in Maryland, for context) because my older sister went to undergrad in Maine and her acapella group learned the Canadian National Anthem could sing it whenever the hockey teams played Canadian teams.
Who says the arts don’t have real world benefits?
When i was in high school, my history teacher asked what historic technology caused the biggest alteration in military tactics. I answered stirrups, and explained that the ability to brace against the horse to use a weapon and the better maneuverability vs a chariot created the entire concept of cavalry, which led to modern tactics, etc. The teacher said I was the first student to ever give that answer and that I was basically correct, and then asked where I had found that out. I then had to explain I had read it in a Star Trek novel.
My APUS teacher in HS made a deal with all his students: if you get an A on the first test of the year, your lowest test for the year gets dropped. He said he almost never had students get A’s on the first test.
I was one of 3 kids in APUS my year to get an A on our first exam (all three were in my class because we were NERDS). When the test scores came in he called the tree of us up to his desk and said he’d never had THREE kids in the same class make A’s on the test and that either we were REALLY smart or REALLY good at cheating (we sat in 3 of the corners of the room so we weren’t copying off eachother or anything).
I don’t think I ever told him that I got an A on the first 2 tests because one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid was Liberty’s Kids and I had the series on DVD and literally watched it to study for the test.
You know the thing about the songs part of this is that humans have been using poetry and songs to remember large numbers and historical facts since the dawn of time, and I honestly think it’s insane that we don’t value that as a culture anymore to the degree that teachers are surprised by it
I've been spending way too much time on tiktok. I love this account.

Preparing for my oral exam on the subject of Gay marriage in Spain.
french people will really be like “our société? culturally catholique? mais non, this country is laïque there is no public religion to be found here!” and then 5 minutes later say “oh we do not work tomorrow because it is *checks french fonction publique calendrier* the feast of the assumption of the holy virgin mary so every public building in the whole entire country is closed :)”
idk which is funnier, the fact that 90% of the french people reblogging this agree and think its funny or the other 10% who are Très Bouleversé™ writing entire essays correcting me.
like i know you people have argumentative writing skills drilled into your head by the french education system from the age of 10 or whatever but please calmez-vous lol
Okay but also how many of you in the notes know what your saints day is and even had projects about it in school growing up

24.3.20 // whiling away the days from my desk at home! maybe i’ll finally learn portuguese (if I finish my actual uni work first, that is)
21-04-2020 // I had to complete my Spanish written exam at home due to lockdown, which was really strange but it helped to take the pressure off!
i love using my muji notebook alongside my bullet journal - i use it to write out essay plans, practise my handwriting etc. i find it really helpful to have all those odds and ends in one place
14 days of lockdown 2.0 🔒 day 4
our university hasn’t started with online classes yet because they’re trying to get devices like smartphones and laptops to all students who don’t have access to them, so they won’t be disadvantaged and left behind by online learning. I’m really struggling without the structure physical classes gave me. I ended up doing a little bit of work for labour law, read a bit and made some mini quiches again. I seriously hope I’ll become better at this. hope you guys are coping well and that you’re safe and healthy 😊✨
Practice Practice Practice : today I’ve been doing some Spanish essay structures in order to prepare for my upcoming written exam.

I’ve struggled to stay motivated over the last few days because I’ve been so overwhelmed with the amount of work that I need to do. In order to reduce my panic attacks, I’ve made a busy but do-able schedule for the next 3 weeks!
Days 7, 8 and 9 of the Productivity Challenge: Posting everyday is more difficult than I thought it would be, but I’ve been motivated and that’s the most important thing!
Focusing on French verbs since I’m up to my ears in essays for my French class. Managed to squeeze in some home workouts during this isolation too, I feel great!
