Online Things I don’t do
I do not use skype or twitter.
I don’t really understand how either works (Though I have a much better idea of how twitter works then skype.) But I have come to conclusions as to why I don’t need to use them.
- Skype. I NEVER talk on the phone unless its with my mom, stepmom, dad or husband. The conversations with parents are mostly once a week conversations. Most of my other communication with friends is via gchat, facebook or email. I do talk to grad school friends occasionally on the phone but those are less than five minutes. I have no one to call “abroad.”
- Twitter. Yeah, I really don’t need to be hyperconscious about updating about my status. I know twitter is a lot more than that but between fbook (which I am boycotting again), my other blog, gchat and this blog, people know what I’m doing, and I will list that below in case you don’t know…
Reading for school at home
Reading at the library
Writing a paper
Preparing for teaching
Teaching
Sitting in Seminar
Watching the daily show, grey’s anatomy or mad men on the internet between 2 and 4 AM.
Driving to Meijer
Sitting at starbucks/ Barnes and Noble working
Petting/Playing with/Feeding the kitties
I don’t skype, either. I am in love with Twitter, though, probably because I find it a lot easier than blogging much of the time (lately, I blog less and tweet more), and yet more gratifying than updating my fbook status. Also, with Twitter I can sort of keep a productivity record of what I’m getting done. but that’s just my take - and I completely understand the no time! I know all the first-years in my program are completely freaking out right now about all the stuff they have left to do for the rest of the semester.
