With midterms and spring break approaching, let’s take a breath and get ready for something new.

Bwog got to work (or… didn’t):

• studied for a final I have this week. yes you heard me, a FINAL
• caught up on assignments I forgot existed, still did not get enough done
• got so excited about spring break that i cranked out all my midterms due in 6 hours
• pushed more work out of my body than I thought was possible
• wrote an obscene amount. still have an obscene amount to go…
• did less than half the things i needed to get done ahahahahaaaa it’s fine
• put off all my work
• wrote and failed to write

Bwog found some reasons to be happy:

• got wine drunk with my boyfriend’s parents in their basement, finally felt at home for the first time in ages :’))
• played with a cat for the first time in 2 months and almost cried
• hijacked a seminar to talk about Brazil <3
• felt hope again? for the first time in a year?
• felt accomplished after applying to 1 job
• took a last minute teaching gig and made shit up about the history of the internet to a group of students

Bwog ate and drank some questionable things:

• finally shot gunned a white claw successfully!
• ate half off valentines day chocolate
• ate junk food for the first time since winter break and my body Did Not Like It
• had edibles for the first time in years, absolutely demolished some Insomnia cookies as a result
• actually set dumplings on fire as I was trying to cook them
• drank copious amounts of earl grey tea all weekend
• made the best goddamn boozy hot chocolate and i am now very sleepy

Bwog got poetic and experienced life:

• broke a boy’s heart (also my own)
• made an adult decision for once
• read 22-pages of love letters which got really terrible by the end
• spent an hour washing a bottle of sesame oil so i could add dried flowers to it
• listened to phoebe bridgers on vinyl and cried
• read poetry out loud and almost passed out
• realized I gave a part of me to someone who didn’t want to give anything in return
• performed in a virtual poetry slam, came in second?
