Catch up and The Met

-
Sorry the past week has been CRAZY



So since I last wrote my stress levels have been all over the place.

I finished getting all of my signatures and I went to Speech night and heard from all of the candidates.  The next morning I voted and continued doing work. Handed in a paper that is due next week and hung out with friends. I also got elected Sophomore class senator and made my schedule ( I register Wednesday AM).
Mel-People loved the apple cake!

Saturday I got up at 6:45 am, which is the earliest I have started moving here in at least 3 weeks. I then got on the bus at 7:15 am and headed off to the big apple. We got to the Met at around 11:30 and then had 30 minutes to go to the bathroom and practice our presentation.

My group presented second and did a good job (one of my team mates heard from our professor today that he thought that we were one of the best!). Then for the next two hours or so everyone else presented and the professors pointed out some of their favorites as well.

Then we had a lot of free time. I spent a bit in Central Park (it made me reminiscent of all the Girl Scout trips to NYC) but mostly stayed in the Museum- taking advantage of my free ticket! I will share some drawings I am working on when they are finished.

Then we hoped back on the bus and headed back to Skidmore. I don't know if it was because I was tired but that was one of the longest bus rides of my life. We left around 7:30 and got back around 11:30.

Any ways, I hope everyone had a nice week and weekend.
More to come soon!

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.
