A good day and an impulse decision

-
So today was overall a really good day,
I went for a walk and then worked out before class. Next I ate and packed up for the day. I got to IES early so that I could print some things but Moodle was being a massive pain and it would not let me log in at all (this was resolved at lunch but I needed it in the morning).

Ethnic Tapestry was good. Everyone has been freaking out about their papers but I finished final edits on mine and am printing it tomorrow-Woot!Woot!. We also had our first presentation in that class and it was not great both in length and presentation skills; however it got an A- so I am not too worried about this class anymore.

Next was my lunch break and during this time I ate, naturally, and also had a meeting with Lucinda to discuss my AA project. She gave some good advice and I will definitely go back and talk to her again about this same project.

Next was AA and we had a field trip today to the British Museum. It is a huge museum and I hope that we discuss it at some point because I definitely missed things.

I then walked back and did some homework. I am ready for my presentation tomorrow in theater! I also read the The play that goes wrong and my ethnic reading for Wednesday.

Then made some dinner and picked up my package.

Sooooooo Last night was just a lot, nothing bad happened but I just felt very emotionally drained but I didn't want to read because I have been doing that all the time...
doing school work? READ
bored? READ
relaxing? READ
so I impulse bought a really cheap sewing machine off amazon. I opened the box today and I was overcome with joy. I took all of the pieces out and set it up. Then I ran down the sleeve of a shirt I found downstairs. I am going to go to a fabric store tomorrow-maybe. I don't know what I will make but I like that I am able to be crafty and people have already asked me to mend stuff. The only downside is that it is quite loud to use. However I am more excited to have something to do that isn't reading.

Cheers
Olivia

    The sewing machine is a good impulse. Can't wait to see what you make with it! Send pictures when you do, please.

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
