Spotify Wrapped can’t quantify my analog collection, but if it tracked dance moves by genre, soundtracks would dominate. Although I was just introduced to acid jazz a few hours ago… 🎶🎷

Happy LDOC! Wrapped up the semester by handing out a few NoAs from the Institute of Very Good Ideas after my class delivered 1-minute pitches of their classmates’ proposals. Crushed it. So proud of the creativity, curiosity, and care they brought all semester. 💊💉🧠🌶️⚡

Why do I still get nervous on exam day when I am the one administering the exam?! Can my stress/anxiety systems just not right now? We are overstimulated enough!
