Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great Friday evening. My week was busy as usual, but with little out of the ordinary. Today I went to research lab, went to track, went back to research lab group meeting, taught a swim lesson, went to dinner with some swim team members, and am now writing this blog before singing…

And We’re Back
Good evening, What a fun week it has been. We’re officially in “Future Planning” week, which many people dislike, but I adore. I love the feeling of ignoring homework for a bit, and looking ahead into planning my summer and next year, so that I know that I’ve made progress into achieving my long-term goals and I now have choices…
what more could I ever ask for?
Hello hello! Well, this has been a blissful week :). After all of my happy blabbering from last week, you’d think I’d be done, but this spring break has been amazing. Saturday and Sunday I spent at Wellesley, before I headed off to New York City to stay with Nathalie, a friend from high school who also goes to Wellesley…
Kindness and Honesty
Good morning readers 🙂 Oh dear, you know you’re in trouble if I’m already breaking out the smileys so early in this post! I can’t help it; Wellesley is such a lovely place. I even have an anecdote to share with you to illustrate. A few days ago, I was planning to buy my bus tickets to New York City…
Professors Rule
Hello everyone! Sorry for the late post; it’s been a busy Friday! I worked at Professor A.’s lab from 11am-3pm, ran to weights at the Keohane Sports Center (the other side of campus), ran back to the Science Center to attend Professor A.’s lab group meeting, then ran back to the Keohane Sports Center to teach a swim lesson! Good…
Let Life be Excellent
Hello everyone! Happy Friday :). For the first time ever since October, we have snow here! It is very exciting, even though most of the people I have talked to seem to be disappointed. In my younger, more foolish years, I too was disappointed by snow, until I realized that YOU CAN SKI IN IT! Join cross-country skiing, everyone. It…
My Wellesley Normal
Hi everyone, It’s going to be a shorter post today; hope you don’t mind! Life is busy as usual, plus I’m getting sick again, so that means I have to spend several hours sleeping that are normally spent doing work :). Anyway, from the beginning of the week… Last weekend was NEWMACs, the end of the season for swimming, and…
The Wellesley Way
Hello! Where has this week gone? I’ve been racking my brains to try to remember what I’ve done over the past few days… thank goodness I have my agenda, or I’d come up blank :). Each day seems to last a lifetime, and this is six lifetimes past my last entry! Life is good, and is determined to make me…
Life is Good
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you’re having a marvelous Friday! Fridays are my days off from school, but even so they’re busy :). Still, Fridays at college are such a different experience from high school. In high school, Fridays represented the end of a long, continuous week when all the homework had built up to a towering level, and Friday…
College is Livin’ Up to Expectations
Good morning! Reporting here, from Wellesley College, your usual announcer Monica Gates… this would work much better if I actually watched TV and knew the lingo. Ah well! I’ve just finished my first full week of spring semester, first year! I love being a first-year—there are so many choices, and so few expectations. I can take whatever classes I want…
