353: Junior Spring Finals Season

-

 A couple of you have lovingly reminded me that it has been a while but as you can imagine its been a wild couple of weeks with end of the semester stuff. This upcoming week is finals, I only have one exam and the rest are papers but I am not coming home until I finish them but that should be mid-week. 


Since we last chatted a fair amount of things have been going on but of course I will share the highlights with you as a lot of college is the routine which isn't the most thrilling to read about. 

I had an impromptu photoshoot at the end of passover. My photographer did an ok job but here is one of the good ones!



I passed my practical EMT exam! So I have one written test to take but then I will be a certified EMT in the state of NY, which is kind of wild. The class has definitely challenged me in many ways but it was also by far one of my most engaging classes. If you ever need your blood pressure taken manually let me know as I am well practiced. 

In my last latin class of the year, we all wore fun shirts! I got mine from 5below and then bleached and dyed it for this wonderful result, although I wish it had been slightly more blue.


The Tang Teaching museum hosts a party where you can apply to host a project and Elizabeth and I did one called "Have You Cried in the Bathroom?" I don't have great photos of it but essentially we printed a map of Skidmore and encouraged individuals to interact with it putting stickers where they cried and where they felt joy! I will work on getting a final picture up soon!


What else? hmm? I think those are the big things. This semester has been a wild ride with plenty of highs and lows but I am grateful to have been able to be back here even if it looked different and to have incredible friends. 

I hope you are all doing well and that you are taking any and all time that you need to survive and thrive as a human being, 
me

    Beautiful pictures from the photo shoot. I'm so glad you were able to have this time on campus. Even if it looked a little different from what you hoped.

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.
