Yes. Keep tagging us in annoyed tweets saying we should have a midterm this week. There’s a specific number of tweets, and once it is reached I will declare a midterm. Because that is absolutely something the person who runs your university twitter account has the power to do.

"Today is a day of mixed emotions for me. On the one hand, I’m really proud to be the first in the Mincéir (Traveller) community to receive a doctorate, but on the other, It’s kind of sad that it’s taken until 2019 for it to happen." - Dr

My 3yo said she wanted to be an astronaut, and I said she had to study hard, go to college, learn a lot of science, and take a physical fitness test, and she shrugged and said, "That's just 4 things." So she's basically a nonchalant motivational speaker.

Has anyone on Twitter ever noticed that sometimes mature students are more likely to ask questions in lectures than other students?
Maybe someone should tweet a joke about that. You’d probably be the first person to do so. A real comedic innovator.
