I’m all set up with a camping chair in a middle school hallway so I can write my final synthesis paper for Dr. Pliley. Not my final PAPER. 🤣 We still have a research proposal and presentation next week. This book was excellent, by the way. #history #gradstudent #gradstudentlife #histbookchat

Taking my 14 yo to his region orchestra clinic today and making him listen to the classics on the drive. He said “you know, listening to this makes me realize it’s your fault that I like the music I like.” My FAULT? You’re welcome, sir.

Not to brag, but I’m in his top 3% of fans. Also, my kids saw this and said “I guess you’ve been writing a lot.” Hozier’s “Too Sweet” was my song of the year, but the rest was classical or “Light Academia Fairycore Soundtrack.” #spotifywrapped #gradstudent #gradstudentlife
