Hello blog, and happy Wednesday!
This is a magical and momentous week for a number of reasons. Most importantly:
I HAVE OFFICIALLY DECLARED MY MAJOR!!
As of this evening, I am officially an Education Studies major! I have an advisor and a major plan and a whole bunch of future plans and I could not be more excited! I feel so grown up having a real, declared major. It feels like I’m finally a real college student ready to take on the world and do real adult things, now that I have officially declared to Wellesley College and the world what I want to do with my life: I am a future educator!
This weekend is going to be super busy with lots of Halloween activities- Spooky SBOG, Munger Mash, a Bates floor program and student leader Trick-or-Treating-, but before I start thinking about that, I’d like to take a minute to reflect on last weekend.
First, a bit of Wellesley news from the weekend- my friend Abby set a world record! Abby is a fellow RA on my res staff and one of the best people I’ve met this year, and last spring she set a Guinness World Record for most handless hops on a pogo stick, which is super crazy and incredible. When she was setting her first record, she practiced for a back up record and decided to go through with doing that one this fall, so for about forty-five minutes on Saturday I watched Abby jump rope on a pogo stick four thousand and thirty times! Yes, it was as awe-inspiring as it sounds.
My grandparents were also here this weekend, and the three of us went up to Boston, to the tip of the Cape, and all around Eastern Massachusetts- it was a total blast! We had many good eats and, because I seem to be a bit of a travelling bad luck charm, a hot dog heated up in a microwave at the concession stand of hockey rink for high schoolers in club sports that somehow ended up being featured by Rachel Ray- if I tried to explain it I think it would just end up being more confusing. Despite that, it was a really, really good weekend, and I think I’ll leave you with the pictures so you can see for yourself.
