Doctor Mike

I'm a professor there.

And I had one student show up to office hours and he came in and he was like, why don't professors like why don't you do TikTok?

Why aren't you on Instagram?

Like, you know, I see you never use your Instagram.

And I was like, I don't know.

I just doesn't feel natural.

It feels weird.

Actually, it feels like a thing I have to really prepare for.

Um, and, uh, and he just, you know, he, he like wanted to make it like his mission for the semester to, you know, to get us doing it, which was endearing.

I mean, I do it, um, a little bit more, but you know, I sort of, what we're in, uh, we're almost in July and I, back in January, I was like, okay, I'll make a new year's resolution to do it.

And I've done it like twice.

Okay.

So I'm clearly not sticking to it.

So it's not going very well.

Yeah, or I have, so I have like an intern who I've been working with on this process.

And one thing that I always find so, I feel so bad for him and how difficult I am actually in that, you know, he speaks, he gives me things where he's like, you're not using declarative sentences.

And I'm like, no, I'm hedging everything, right?

Which is how you would do it in a paper or something.

And it is so counter to like, to how you would write something where, you know, because in academia you do your like, your 10 paragraphs of throat clearing before you get to the point.

It's so bad.
