One week done

-
They warned us when we came back that we would have to put ourselves out there and be more extroverted, but I forgot how exhausting it is and this has been a really long week.

Long but a really good first week.

I think that I like my classes and I am really excited to see what will come in the next weeks, but let me give you an overview of my courses.

  • Classical World- Is really interesting and is being taught by the 5 professors of the classics department. Also there is a great reading list for the course. 
  • Early Childhood teaching- I didn't realize this one has so many observation hours in a classroom but I am so excited. I start my observations Sunday morning. 
  • Spanish- I was really worried that I wouldn't be at the right level but I think that I picked the right one and I have met some people in the class who are really nice. 
  • English- this class is my wildcard class because the professor may be retiring soon and there is no syllabus, but I have faith. 
  • Cultural anthropology- The professor is so funny and the curriculum is really interesting so far. 
Other news... 
Roxanne Gay spoke yesterday on our campus and it was really cool. Today I went into town with some of my London friends and I got succulents! I also went swimming in the pool which was a good experience and now I just got back from an a cappella showcase.




Hope you all have a productive Sunday

Ps Let me know if anyone has a fun fact let me know

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.
