So much rain, and other bits of serendipity.

Bwog was fascinated by art, and coincidences…

  • Saw Latine Art Showcase (Mariachi Band owns my heart).
  • Saw Morningside Lights and was once again amazed by this silly city and this silly school.
  • Saw slowdive at webster hall!!!! 
  • Went to the all things go music festival in maryland! And ran into my high school friend at the festival by absolute chance????
  • Beefed.
  • Went to connecticut with those involved with the beef to see Hozier and Alanis Morissette and cried at several points throughout.
  • Saw Hozier at msg, cried, cried even harder when he brought his dad out; was fundamentally changed as a person post-Hozier.
  • Kept running into students in the class I TA for everywhere (on the subway, at parties, dinner in my friend’s apartment???).
  • Went to the Brooklyn Book Festival and encountered many people I knew.

Bwog enjoyed (mostly) some human relations:

  • Called one highschool friend for the first time in a long time. She lives in the Netherlands now! We complained about life—Old times!
  • Caught up with some graduated familiar faces.
  • Took myself on a solo coffee date.
  • Talked in Riverside park with some friends until 3am.
    • Had to open a bottle using the iron fences.
    • While sitting, a guy drove by us, rolled down his window, and yelled “Get a Room!” before speeding away.
    • We were sitting several inches apart. There was more than enough room for the Holy Spirit.
  • Organized Bwog’s DWB!!!!
  • Went to a killer housewarming party. 
  • Went to equally as amazing DWB and jammed to Olivia Rodrigo. 
  • Went to DWB! Was very upset that my outfit was slightly ruined by the rain.
  • Went to one of the loveliest housewarming parties ever, stayed for like 7 hours lmao.
  • Went home for the weekend with my friend, experienced the strange but lovely merging of my college and high school worlds.
  • Saw some old friends and was fulfilled in my soul.

Some Bwoggers took good care of themselves:

  • Ate apple cider donuts while wearing a sweater in the cool fall air :) 
  • Bought myself a squishmallow because I am a salaried person now.
  • Bought a lot of cereal. Then ate a lot of cereal.
  • Changed my hairstyle.
  • Had moon cakes.
  • Made some Thai-style chicken curry.
  • Purchased a very fun pair of earrings, wore said earrings.

And some Bwoggers entertained themselves:

  • Celebrated the moon at a Mid Autumn Festival party.
  • Took a shot out of an old empty pill bottle bc we were out of shot glasses
  • Laughed untill I cried!!!!
  • Wished everyone I know a happy banned books week.
  • People watched at the upper broadway festival.
  • Had a Me Night.

Bwog was resilient:

  • Refused to let Carlton’s back to back to back fire incidents get to me. Carlton supremacy 💪💪.
  • Was stranded in suburbia for 1.5 hours bc zero Ubers were available until like 12:30am.
  • Spent 2 hours in the flash floods on Friday. 
  • Survived an anticipated thesis-related breakdown.
  • Got stood up for a group quiz session.
  • Inflicted water damage on my phone.

Bwog learned new stuff!!! Bwog is so proud!!!!

  • Made rice for the first time ever. 
  • Made chicken for the first time ever.
  • Went to the social work library for the first time.
