Landmarks

-

 Firstly, I am back home!

Secondly, by my estimate I have traveled between home and Skidmore roughly 17 times, between touring and then traveling during the semester, and I have come to find consistent landmarks. Although none of them are super exciting I figured I would share with you all. 

  • Signs for UMass Amherst  
  • Charlton Plaza, its a rest stop that has a historic house in the middle of it, which just feels really out of place. 
  • There is a sign on I-90 that shares that you are at the highest point of elevation east of one of the Dakotas, I think, every time I pass it I think I should take a picture but then I don't 
  • A gas station right off the highway (coming back this means you are less than 5 minutes from crossing into MA) 
  • Love's rest stop. It is the first rest stop crossing into NY, I have never stopped there but it has a nice yellow sign.
  • the chaos of ramps where I believe 87 meets 90

If you are traveling home, I hope you make it there safely and if you are already home, stay cozy and of course safe!

Best wishes for a peaceful Sunday, 
Olivia

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.
