The one with the 4 am fire alarm

-

 Good Afternoon Friends, 

I hope your past month went smoothly. I would apologize for not writing more but I am working on saying sorry less. 

Now that I am a month in, I have a better sense of how my time is spent and which classes require a bit more time to do homework. Overall I am very happy with my classes, I am just a little less happy with the average of 5 hours in class a day. The 5 hours a day leave me tired and so understandably I go to bed early (well college early 10:30/45pm) and in turn I tend to wake up between 6:30-7:15 am. 

You may be wondering, Olivia what do you do with all that time if you don't have class until 10? Great question hypothetical voice! It depends on the weather but almost everyday I go on a walk or a hike and do a little bit of yoga or like today I go food shopping or do laundry. I know, I know very exciting but I am happy and in a good routine. 

So the title of the post "the one with the 4 am fire alarm," this past Thursday, I was awoken to the fire alarm going off in my apartment, naturally we all went outside and 75% of us remembered our masks, interesting that this is the new norm. Campus Safety came and 25 minutes later we were all back inside warming back up and attempting to fall back asleep. For me that was a little evasive and so when I started my day 2 hours later I was very tired. It ended up being such a long day that I even purchased my 4th caffeinated beverage of my college experience. 

nevertheless if that is the craziest thing that happens this semester, I won't be upset. 

Wishing you a day filled with contentment and ease and ask that you wish me luck for my first EMT test in an hour or so, 

me

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.
