Hello blog, and happy Monday! I hope you missed me last week; I’ll tell you all about my awesome spring break at home in a couple of paragraphs, but I’m going to start of this blog post with my current predicament, so we can start low and end on a higher note. Yesterday, my dad drove me from…

Countdown to Spring Break
Hello blog, and happy Monday! Today is a day of momentous importance for many, many reasons. The first reason? It’s my little sister’s birthday! She’s a senior in high school and she just turned eighteen, so it’s a pretty big birthday. I have to sew up the seams on the cardigan I knitted her on the plane ride home…
When I Touch the Water
Hello blog, and happy Monday! Today it was a beautiful 60 degrees and sort of sunny in Massachusetts; I spent most of the day at the Computing Help Desk in Clapp Library resetting passwords and sorting through tickets for more experienced tech support workers, so I unfortunately did not see much sun today. I did manage to get out…
Another Week in the Life
Hello blog, and happy Monday! Today has been a very long and very cold day, but it’s been a pretty okay one. This past week has really been very long and very cold, but there have been many highlights, some of which I’m here to tell you all about. First of all, I’m making great progress on my knitting…
Presidents’ Day (It’s Time to Reflect)
Hello blog, and happy Monday! Today I am feeling very grateful for time off and time in between, and the rest of this blog post will be, in some way or another, an elaboration on that idea. First of all, today was Presidents’ Day, which means I had a beautiful three day weekend. Personally, I think every weekend…
A Trip to Global Flora
Hello blog, and happy Monday! More importantly, happy Valentine’s Day! I think the theme of this month so far has been work, and I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, where I can go to bed at ten o’clock, wake up at nine, sweep the Dorito crumbs off of my floor and finally do…
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Hello blog, and happy Monday! Wellesley is looking a little different today than it was last time I wrote: this weekend New England was hit by a blizzard and we got what I read was maybe sixteen inches of snow. Being from Iowa, this was much less of a big deal to me than it was to a lot…
Back to the Basics
Hello blog, and happy Monday! Even more importantly, happy spring semester! Today was the first day of classes here at Wellesley- FDOC, as the Wendies say- and it was a doozy. Our first week of classes is virtual this semester to accommodate the students who tested positive upon their return to Wellesley, which is a super awesome plan that…
Let It Be
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is a very important blog; this is my last blog of the semester!! Now, I know what you might be thinking: Andrew, didn’t you say you were on campus for another week? Why won’t you be blogging on the 22nd? Well, good people of the Blogosphere, I have good news and…
Lip Sync Champions and Other Snapshots from a Week Well-Lived
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This week has been crazy busy! Since I last wrote to you, I’ve been to a tree-lighting, gone Christmas shopping, played at Holiday Open Tower, and- drumroll, please- won Wellesley’s Fall 2021 Lip-Sync Competition! For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the event, Lip-Sync is a twice yearly competition held by Wellesley’s House…
