Work hard, but not too hard that the barista doesn’t flirt with you. 

Bwog midtermed HARD.

  • Studied for ethics midterm (i can’t Kant)
  • Studied for my 3 midterms this week
  • Oooof midterm season
  • Felt the impending doom of midterms
  • Did so many hours of French readings/assignments that I should be bilingual by now (I’m not)
  • Spent both Saturday and Sunday entirely at coffee shops working
  • Went to a cute little cafe on both Saturday and Sunday to work on my essay. (my friend is convinced that the guy who works there is flirting with me but I think he’s just being nice)

Then experienced the side effects of midterms.

  • Was veeeerrrryyyy sleepy
  • Slept in on sunday

Did as the cool kids do.

  • Friday night movie night (the choice was scott pilgrim)
  • Conquered my fear of dodge! 
  • Stole dining hall fruit
  • Called my parents
  • Went to Build A Bear on Friday night for best friend’s bday, literally the most iconic bday party idea and we WERE the oldest people there (but we took it very seriously); I now own a cow stuffed animal that plays my friends’ voices when you squeeze a hoof
  • Got Absolute on Sunday afternoon and it healed me
  • Ate so many liz’s place muffins 
  • Watched the sox :))))
  • Played many card games with my cousins
  • Binge watched demon slayer with my besties while we ate tons of snacks
  • Had dinner with the other editors for the Columbia Journal of Mathematics! math department paid!
  • Got a bunch of free food at a training session for my job
  • Got coffee with friends I hadn’t seen in a while!
  • WIP for orchesis on sunday (sooo many rehearsals but so fun)
  • Had a very nice (and free!) Sunday brunch at a different college

Questioned the American healthcare system.

  • Spent $50 on my medicine and tampons (why are neither of these free)

And indulged in the arts.

  • Saw a lovely student-performed opera! (Orpheus in the Underworld by Offenbach)
  • Bought tickets for a ballet and another opera next weekend because I spend too much money on going to shows (but have a student discount!)
