The ups and downs

-
So it's been a month but let's be honest we were all expecting my to fall of the bandwagon with writing blog posts so I don't feel too bad.

However let me catch you up on the chaos of the last month

All of my classes are going well!

  • My Exsci class is recorded lectures which does make it harder to want to sit through it, but on the bright side my lab group is thriving and has the best presentation so far. 
  • My Spanish professor decided to re-write the rest of the syllabus as we weren't going to have time to finish the last unit. Instead we are just reading some of her favorite pieces which in my opinion is way cooler!
  • Latin is going well we are essentially carrying on as we did pre-remote learning but it is entertaining to watch the hands rush into the air when there is a particularly easy section. 
  • Greek art and archeology is also going about the same as before but she always makes a point at the beginning of class to say hi and ask how we are doing. 
  • Are you sure? is one of my one credit classes and for the most part we are asynchronous in order to work on our projects. Here is the link to mine if you want to see it!
  • Uncertain nature is my other one credit and that one has also been asynchronous although on Tuesday I will be giving my final presentation. It is only allowed to be 5 minutes long which is hard given so much research has gone into it. 
Besides classes, I have ... 
  • Started watercolor painting again 
  • Finished 2 puzzles
  • Helped make masks
  • Ran student elections for SGA
  • Had a rainbow themed dinner
  • got accepted into my study abroad 
  • Had a Greatest Showman themed dinner
  • Camp Favorite closed
  • A family game night
  • Made a back up schedule and registered for courses in case study abroad gets cancelled
  • Hillel Elections and board meeting
  • Read 50 more pages of War and Peace 
  • Was offered a job at Camp Runels (almost the same job I would have had at favorite)
  • Gave permission for part of my blog to be featured on the Skidmore website 
  • Registered for a Littleton Hiking Challenge 
And of course did homework and annoyed Penny. 

I know that is a lot of bullet points but I think it summarizes everything nicely. I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. 
Lots of love and support 
me

    Your positive attitude is serving you well! Sorry about Camp Favorite being cancelled. I know you look forward to that.

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.
