Ready or not, the Fall 2025 semester is starting!

I got the official provost letter in mid June letting me know that I had been promoted effective the Fall 2025 semester. Since we’re a few weeks away from the start of the academic year, I guess it’s time to make it social media official! 😝

Well, that was fun! Thanks Cultural Studies @georgemasonu.bsky.social for having me back to speak at colloquium. Special thanks to @tim-gibson.bsky.social for inviting me!

It’s that time of year for @icahdq.bsky.social hotel reservations hunger games! Waitlisted for 2 nights! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Faculty marshals ready for CSUSM CHABSS 2nd fall commencement ceremony!

Such an amazing talk by Armaghan Ziaee, Ph.D. at today’s Research Seminar Series sponsored by CSUSM Office of Graduate Studies and Research and the Committee for International Research (CIR) California State University San Marcos.

Happening now! Dr Elinne Beckett @bielleogy.bsky.social presenting at Cal State Univ San Marcos Faculty Research Colloquium! 🤩

So this happened. Congrats to my fellow awardees, especially @aspield.bsky.social!

November, you have been a beast. I’m glad you are over. December will certainly have its challenges, but hopeful for good news. 🤞🏼 Friends, please continue to pray for my intentions, especially for the health of a beloved relative. 🙏🏼

Stolen iPhone update: it’s now in Shenzhen and I’ve gotten text messages: pretending to be Apple, begging bec phone was bought for child, and today threatening to kill me. Reporting to local police and spoke with @Apple customer service who was really helpful & reassuring.

November has been a really tough month so far. Kindly include my intentions in your prayers. 🙏🏼

Scheduled power outage in my apartment complex from 9am-3pm. Managed to make coffee ☕️ and fix my hair 👩🏻 before it got cut off. #priorities

It has been the most stressful and physically and emotionally exhausting 14 days. I’m slowly emerging from it and feeling like myself again. 💗

Just when I thought the crazy week I had was behind me, my iPhone (+2 others) got stolen at Trader Joe's. Managed to get a new iPhone, but couldn't get @AT&T @ATTHelp to activate it so I need to go to a store tomorrow... & need to report & reactive my @enjoyGLOBE number too...

When you want to write but you have meetings and teaching... 😭 #ICAdeadline #ICAcramming (yeah, yeah, yeah hashtags not here yet...)

So honored to have been elected and excited to serve ICA Mobile Comm division in this new role!

Got my Covid-19 and flu vaccines today! 💉💉 Grateful I have access and wish others around the world did too. 🌏

Haven’t been here in a while… whose around?

Ugh. Earthquake…

Ready or not, the fall semester starts tomorrow! 👩🏻‍🏫

Back in contract and email inbox already making me 😵‍💫 #newacademicyear

Ninoy Aquino (November 27, 1932–August 21, 1983). His death awakened a nation. May we never forget his sacrifice. #HindiKaNagiisa

Summer grades submitted! Now to prep for the Fall semester... sigh...

Reading a student paper that’s entirely centered is 😵‍💫

Gaaaaaah!

Okay, let’s try this out! Who’s here? 👋🏼
