I was playing on my computer. I had a lot of tabs open, just like in real life. I had my Youtube or Tumblr tab and my Instagram tab grouped together. I wasn't sure if the first tab was explicitly Youtube or Tumblr, all I know is that I was watching a DaThings YTP. In my Instragram tab, I saw a little bit of posts but I was mainly waiting for some meeting or something to start, but it was taking a while. The DaThings YTP was kinda a mashup of documentaries about colorful prehistory and also early tests of the SNES. I remember one test of the SNES was just them rotating images. A decent portion of the YTP was unedited, or seemed that way compared to her usual style.
Meanwhile, on Instagram, I got added to a new groupchat. It was a groupchat with me, my official Kaqchikel teacher from college and my Kaqchikel teacher from Guatemala who I don't think is officially with the university but still gives us directions in class on Fridays, and another student who I know some who is also doing a study abroad program in Guatemala that I am also doing (these are all people and study abroad from real life, just no Insta groupchat). The teacher from Guatemala sent some chat, I don't remember if it was in Kaqchikel or Spanish, but I remember someoe already hearted it. I wasn't sure how quick I was supposed to respond, if I should respond immediately or if I had time to wait it out because I still was expecting that meeting. She sent a video of her saying hello but the brightness was really blown out like a Hera Loani video. It might've been a call though. I remember hearing both teachers talking in some language I couldn't pick up on and giggling because they were excited to meet with us.
