      Just got the invite to this year's parent-teacher conference. This whole ordeal might get me to take the trip some day 😆 I feel so included after all these years that I wanna know more 😆

      Every year, I get a random, group email about a sixth-grade class' curriculum from a school in Reinbek, Germany. My past attempts to get off the list clearly aren't successful so yeah I'm just enjoying this random quirk of existing online 😆

      I’m either getting sick or my body is just like “we’re resting now regardless of how you feel about it” or both, but I guess I’m taking some time to rest today whether I like it or not
      
      sorry to anyone trying to get ahold of me for anything
