twenty things you can do during zoom class; or the lifechanging magic of turning off your video

 1. The reading you didn't do earlier

2. snack! 

3. search through your box of old dance shoes to see if you still have character shoes or tap shoes, or your old black ballet shoes 

4. research how to purchase an at home tightwire setup

5. research how to teach yourself how to do tightwire

6. research how to make your own tightwire shoes

7. watch videos of people doing tightwire on youtube

8. pay attention

9. unmute yourself to say "pardon, j'ai un question sur la géographie dans le text" or "I want to second the centrality of otherness to the author's argument," or something like that

10. snack 2 electric boogaloo

11. streeeaaaaattttchhhhh

12. harass your cats

13. text your friends from your class jokes you would have passed to them on notes 

14. "while you were learning to read and write, Tristan studied the blade."

15.  pay attention again, because now we're talking about pubic hair 

16. figure out whether you can still take a leave of absence

17. figure out whether you can still add a new class

18. make dinner plans with your friends

19. snack the third: coffee edition

20. say "thank you so much" as you leave the zoom room quickly so as to not be the last person on the stream.
